Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), a senior member of the Finance, Judiciary, and Intelligence Committees, joined The Guy Benson Show today to react to Trump's tariff rollout, explaining why he views it as an effort to correct longstanding unfair trade practices from other countries. He and Benson also discussed the constitutional debate over tariff authority between Congress and the presidency, and the GOP's efforts to block what Cornyn warned would be a devastating tax hike impacting 62% of American taxpayers. The senator explained why he's holding out hope for one "big beautiful bill" to finalize Trump's budget resolution--and addressed speculation around a potential primary challenge in 2026.

Today, I offer everything you need to know about the House budget reconciliation proposal. It will blow a massive hole in the deficit, exacerbate inflation, provide Democrats with a good campaign message, and leave us with no accomplishments. Instead, I lay out a vision of what Trump should do with welfare reform, ending foreign worker programs, cutting all global warming regulations, repealing Obamacare, and using the tax code to reform health care. Trump is uniquely suited to use the bully pulpit and message transformational change. If we fail to take this approach, we are doomed to a life of crushing, unaffordable prices.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the next Congress, Republican lawmakers, who now control the White House and Capitol Hill, will attempt to pass a majority of their agenda through the reconciliation process.

In this conversation, Brownstein Shareholders Russ Sullivan and Rosemary Becchi talk about where members of Congress may look to off-set their revenue reduction plans.

Stephen Travers was a young bass player, blissfully out-of-touch with the conflict erupting in Northern Ireland as he joined one of the country's biggest showbands; The Miami.Shortly after joining Stephen's life would be altered forever when the band became the victims of a bombing and then mass sh*oting by the UVF and members of the British security forces in 1975.Stephen describes in detail how the events of the night unfolded, first appearing to be a routine UDR/British army checkpoint before hell broke loose and one of the most prolific sh*otings took place.. Stephen tells us about his thought process as he dealt with the trauma from the event over following months and years. He also began a multi-decade search for the truth about who planned the attack, the true intentions of the attackers, who was there on the night, the role that British security forces played and the roles of loyalist Robin Jackson and Capt. Robert Nairic played in the attack. PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A RATING TO HELP THE SHOW CONTINUE TO GROW***TIMESTAMPS***00:00 Intro, joining the Miami Showband08:40 Stephen's lack of awareness about the conflict in Northern Ireland  14:40 Lead up to July 31st 1975 19:25 THE NIGHT OF THE ATTACK 31:40 English officer arrives (“posh accent”)39:00 UVF B*MB DETONATES PREMATURELY 47:00 How many gunmen were there ?54:20 Thought on the Legacy & Reconciliation Bill (recorded before bill passed) 58:40 The weeks after the shooting 1:06:45 “I understand why I was shot”1:07:50 Finding out who was behind the attack and who carried out the attack1:14:30 WHO WAS THERE ON THE NIGHT (ROBIN JACKSON & ROBERT NAIRIC ?)1:26:30 Would Stephen meet & speak with his would-be killers & NETFLIX DOC 1:39:40 Mentally accepting that there was British military involvement in his shooting Follow the Good Listener Podcast YouTube page for full video podcasts https://www.youtube.com/@thegoodlistenerpodcastSTEPHEN'S BOOK: https://amzn.to/3ZGwGBX

In 1982, Emmett McConomy's brother, 11-year-old Stephen, was playing in the street near their home in Derry. A shot fired by a British soldier from an armoured car hit him in the back of the head; he died from his injuries days later. Emmett tells In the News about his family's decades-long fight for the truth about what happened to the child and how the UK government's Northern Ireland legacy Bill is a betrayal of justice.The Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill is set to be passed into law this week and it will put an end to inquests and court cases – and includes a form of limited immunity for some perpetrators of crimes committed during the conflict. The Bill has been universally opposed by both sides of the political divide in the North and by the Irish Government and internationally in the United States, the UN and Europe. In the UK, the Labour Party opposes it. It is supported by the Conservative Party and the British military. Freya McClements, Northern Editor of The Irish Time, explains what it means – and what might happen next. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Declan Conlon. Hosted on Acast.

For a special edition recorded on location in Belfast, Joshua Rozenberg returns to Northern Ireland 25 years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, which he reported on at the time. Meeting old contacts and new, he finds out what it took to get the negotiations over the line and what legacy the ground-breaking peace deal has had. He also hears about the challenges involved in achieving justice for the murders that remain unsolved; what problems remain with paramilitaries; and the UK government's attempt to bring about reconciliation. Will its Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Bill help, or rub salt in old wounds? And on the legal differences between Northern Ireland and Great Britain, Joshua meets a campaigner who had to travel to England to have an abortion. As a result of an intervention by the Westminster government, terminations have since become legal (up to a point in the pregnancy), but some women still have to leave Northern Ireland to have the procedure.

Since the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act, GOP lawmakers have attacked the legislation's climate and energy components.

If the House passes the Inflation Reduction Act in the coming days it will lead to by far the biggest investment the federal government has made on tackling climate change.

New Jobs Report — The July unemployment report drops at 8:30 a.m. The economy added 372,000 jobs in June, and economists are predicting a gain of 250,000 jobs for July. Yesterday, the White House called the anticipated drop an expected “transition” from “record-high-breaking jobs numbers” to “stable and steady growth.”   Sinema on Board — Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer reached a deal last night to secure her vote for the reconciliation bill. In the end, she wasn't hard to get. Democrats wanted to raise $14 billion by narrowing the carried interest loophole. Sinema wanted the provision removed. Instead, Burgess Everett and Marianne Levine report, Democrats added “a new 1 percent excise tax on stock buybacks that will bring in $73 billion, far more than the $14 billion raised by the carried interest provision, according to a Democrat familiar with the deal.” What else she got: “The deal with Sinema also adds roughly $5 billion in drought resiliency to the bill, according to another person familiar, and changes portions of the corporate minimum tax structure to remove accelerated depreciation of investments from the agreement. That depreciation-related change will cost about $40 billion. All told, the agreement with Sinema is expected to increase the bill's original $300 billion deficit reduction figure.” Listen to Playbook Deep Dive: Biden's big bill: Two GOP strategists on how to kill it Raghu Manavalan is the Host of POLITICO's Playbook.

This week, Facebook is in the hot seat following a bombshell 60 Minutes segment with whistleblower Frances Haugen, who alleges the tech giant employs polarization for profit.  This week, as renewed scrutiny is placed on many world leaders following a document dump exposing their ties to secret wealth, the Supreme Court is beginning what is likely to be one of its most contentious terms in recent memory, where abortion, guns, and the question of race in relation to school admissions are among the issues they are faced with addressing. However, the big story this week involves Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee who has come forward saying the company consistently chooses profit over its responsibilities mitigating the spread of concerning content across its platform. Did the interview have anything to do with a six-hour blackout on Monday that affected several of the company's online properties? We dig into all of this in this week's edition of Middle Theory.
