pets are being told to stay inside. i kind of wish i knew that before i let rookie run wild this morning. being outside all day is the equivalent of smoking six cigarettes. so this is going to be me on friday. [gravel voice] first light on cigarettes. you are already smoking. [clearing throat] how did this happen? canada dropped a smoke bomb on us. apparently canadian campers couldn t figure out thousand put out their camp fires and now half their country is on fire and we are smoked out. is smokingy the bear just an american bear? you have so many reasons to protect your forests. remember, only you can prevent forest fires. jesse: they also said lightning strikes were responsible for the other fires? maybe the canadian witches cast a hex. we just don t know. what we do know is 100 million americans are sucking in canadian smoke and trudeau
donald trump was charged battery and defamation. your reaction to that, sir? i m unaware of it. i heard that as everybody walking from room to room, but i can t comment on it. let s us ask it this way? what was the tenure of the the f the meeting. the tenor of the meeting. [clearing throat] with three or four of the participants very measured. and and low key. occasionally there would be a little bit of a an assertion that maybe was the over the top from the speaker. but nothing, you know, anyway. do you expect any substantial progress by the time you get back to meeting on friday? well, it s going to depend a lot on i have been doing this a long time.
in april. five days later, after he finally put forward something, i called on him to invite invite him to a meeting with the other leading members of congress. look, over these last few days and weeks. [clearing throat] there is going to be there is a lot of politics posturing and gamesmanship and going to continue for a while. i m squarely focused on what matters. and we are getting to work. as i said all along, let s discuss what we need to cut, what we need to protect, what new revenue we can raise,and how to lower the deficit to put our fiscal house in order. but, in the meantime, in the meantime, we need to take the threat of default off the table. as this meeting and as the meeting ended. [clearing throat] excuse me, i suggested continue to meet and the leaders our staffs continue to meet, and the leaders meet again on friday to continue our discussions to see what progress we made. so, let me end where i began.
$30 billion tax subsidy? and, you know, it s time to stop doing that and that s what my budget does. [clearing throat? [among other things my budget also finds the internal revenue code so there is enough agents to thoroughly look at the taxes of billionaires in america. congressional budget office says it would raise $200 billion, larry summers the former secretary says raise twice that amount. it will raise a lot of money. why do they want to get rid of the people who, in fact, would be able to do those audits? and my budget has some of the strongest antifraud proposals ever proposed. strengthens the number of inspector generals. remember, i know some you covered me my arguments in the past with the last administration for cutting inspector generals. as to how the money was being spent. and the inspector generals watchdogs for the taxpayer dollars. and it s been estimated that we saved $10 for every dollar spent on funding inspector generals.
my budget cuts wasteful spending, closes loopholes and does one more thing. it makes the wealthiest americans and the biggest corporations begin to just start to pay some of their fair share. just some of their fair share. speaker mccarthy offered a very different way forward. he has proposed deep cuts that i believe are going to hurt american families. [clearing throat] millions of americans rely on medicaid for their healthcare, would be at risk at losing that and there would be 30 million fewer outpatient visits for veterans to the v.a. hospitals. and we just increased the v.a. budget so they could accommodate seeing these folks. and we have to cut we would have to cut 3 30,000 law enforcement agents. fbi, d.e.a., border patrol. 100,000 teachers. support personnel would lose their jobs. all that would hurt americans and leave folks behind. look, now, i know the speaker says well, i m not he uses the ill word.
