“They want to spend 1.5 trillion additional dollars and totally partisan spending demands, and that includes. You said it. They want to reinstate free health care benefits for illegal aliens to the tune of about $200 billion. They want to spend a half a billion dollars to prop up liberal news outlets. They want to spend billions of dollars in wasteful foreign country spending on all sorts of social programs. All the stuff that we cut out of the budget in the big beautiful bill they demanded to put it back in.” (05:05–05:11)
