He said they were carrying a war against his family because they don't get to go to a picnic. - No. Okay. - Insane. So embarrassing. Kids didn't invite you to their 15th birthday in high school. That's literally what he's complaining about right now. [00:00:17] It's so insanely tone deaf and ridiculous. Yeah, it's kind of a great time of the year in the summer. My family comes up, my son and daughter in law and grandson are coming up because we were going to the white House picnic, but I've just been told that I've been uninvited from the picnic. [00:00:33] I think I'm the first senator in the history of the United States to be uninvited to the white House picnic. The white House is owned by the taxpayers. We all are members of it. Every Democrat will be invited. Every Republican will be invited. I will be the only one disallowed to come on the grounds of the white House. [00:00:52] Could I go to the white House picnic? Since the white House belongs to the American people? Like, what was that argument? That was Senator Rand Paul. And what you just watched was a snippet of the Republican senator basically whining to reporters for seven minutes. [00:01:07] We just showed you a snippet. But for seven minutes he was complaining about how he was disinvited from the white House picnic. I gotta be honest with you, Oz. I would be relieved. Okay? I like when when when plans are canceled. [00:01:23] Tell me you're not relieved. I mean. Sometimes oftentimes I am. More often than not, I'm like, oh, it's fine. I guess we can't do that. One thing that I barely wanted to show up to anyway. It's fine. [00:01:39] So true. So look, what is this all about? Why why did the Trump administration disinvite good ol Rand Paul? Let's hear a little more from Rand Paul. And then we'll discuss why Trump has soured on him. I just find this incredibly petty. [00:01:56] I mean, I have been, I think, nothing but polite to the president. I have been a intellectual opponent of public policy opponent. And he's chosen now to uninvite me from the picnic and to say, my grandson can't come to the picnic. [00:02:11] I just just the level of immaturity is beyond words. I just, I, you know, I've been here long enough that if anybody has ever followed me, I've been a critic of Obama. I've been a critic of Biden. I've been a critic of the previous Trump, but always in a, I think, [00:02:30] a reasonable fashion along policy. And so they've decided they they want to declare war on my family and exclude us from the white House. And I just think it's incredibly petty. And I hope someone will ask them some questions about how they have decided [00:02:49] to sink to this depth. What was the explanation given to you? No explanation. We're just not welcome. So he says that he's been given no explanation. I'm sure he suspects it has to do with the fact that he made the same grave error [00:03:05] that Elon Musk did, which is the fact that he's not in favor of Trump's tax cut and border spending bill, which will add quite a bit to our national debt, which currently sits at $3,637 trillion, costs $1 trillion a year to service. [00:03:22] You know, Rand Paul's concerns are legitimate. I I'm sure I would disagree with Rand Paul in how to, you know, cut the deficit or I should say debt, causing provisions in that bill. [00:03:38] He's going to want to cut more spending on social services. The social safety net. I say, why are we cutting taxes on the rich right now at a time when we obviously need more revenue? And we need to do something about the deficit and the debt. Now, Paul, a libertarian leaning Republican from Kentucky, generally [00:03:56] supports Trump but has been willing to criticize the administration's policies on areas like spending and tariffs. He's also the Senate GOP's one no vote at this current moment on Trump's so-called big, beautiful bill. [00:04:11] Paul has indicated that he could not support the bill because it includes an increase of the national debt limit. But he's said that he's open to considering it if GOP leaders remove that from the overall bill. The white House and top Republicans have rebuffed Paul's demand. [00:04:29] So look, it's definitely a risk. This is not a risky move for Trump. Like Trump just won his battle with Elon Musk. Elon Musk, tuck tail apologized publicly like it's just Trump is going to win. The question is, is Rand Paul I guess as brave and effective [00:04:50] as Congressman Thomas Massie, who did not cave in to pressure from Donald Trump? I just don't know if Rand Paul is as is, as principled as Thomas Massie is. - I'm curious what you think. - Was I. He's not. You know how I know he's not. He's so freaking DC brained that the most [00:05:08] personal offense that could be given is not being invited to a party. That's like. That's literally what DC is about being at the right parties, at the right events, getting the right invites, and like making sure you're able to say that you rub shoulders with the right [00:05:26] people who are in the right positions. And like he said, they were carrying a war against his family because they don't get to go to a picnic. No. Okay. Insane bro, to that point. To that point, I don't think Thomas Massie would say something like that. [00:05:44] Like if Trump. Did that to him, he would he would definitely broadcast it, but broadcast it in a way as like, I'm fighting for my constituents. I don't. Care, I don't care about a white House picnic. Exactly. - Whereas Rand Paul's. - Like, oh, like losing. [00:05:59] - His mind. - About it. It's so embarrassing. I didn't invite you to their 15th birthday in high school. That's literally what he's complaining about right now. It's so insanely tone deaf and ridiculous. And mind you and Anna gets to this point, [00:06:17] the reason he's not in favor of this bill. Because there's not enough Social Security. - Cut Medicare. - Cut Medicare. That's what he wants. Like he's like, no, no, no. Those insane tax cuts for our most blessed citizens. No, no, no. That's cool. We need to be taking away goods and services [00:06:36] from everyday average working people. Yeah, that's exactly right. That is exactly. Right. A maniac and that's why Trump could smack him around. Because guess what? All right, go in front of the cameras and be like, no, because I'm advocating for more cuts to you guys's entitlements. [00:06:54] - He's not inviting me. - To the party. It's such a good point. - Yeah. - You want to sound stupid, kid? Yeah. Not a sympathetic figure. Right. But still, he didn't have the common sense to, like, avoid whining publicly about the picnic, you know? [00:07:10] But you invited me to his party at Chuck E cheese. Every time you ring the bell below, an angel gets his wings. Totally not true. But it does keep you updated on our live shows.
