Mike Johnson's 218-214 vote on a massive bill coincides with CNN admitting Trump is winning after the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June, far exceeding the 118,000 forecast. With unemployment dropping to a historic low of 4.1%, gas prices falling, and border crossings declining, Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared foolish complaining despite these indicators. Ultimately, these simultaneous economic victories and legislative wins leave Democrats struggling to counter Trump's narrative effectively. [Automatically generated summary]

Jobs Beat Expectations00:01:51
Win after win after win after win.
I mean, you got a big one.
Mike Johnson coming out announcing the big, beautiful bill.
On this vote, the yeas are 218, the nays are 214.
The motion is adopted.
And then they started playing YMCA.
I mean, it is massive.
It has been such a run here that, you know what, even CNN had to admit it.
Even CNN, they're like, you know, that jobs report, that jobs report, guys, it was phenomenal because we weren't looking for anything close to that.
We got way more jobs than we thought.
Granted, I'd like more jobs, but I'm just saying, this blew past estimates, blew past every estimate.
And then you look at the unemployment rate coming down to 4.1%.
I mean, hallelujah, right?
Poor CNN even having to say, gee, this is good.
You expected some of this, but this is better than expected?
Yeah, Sarah, it is.
Look, this jobs market is like the Energizer bunny.
Every single time we expect it to run out of steam, it just keeps going and going.
So these new numbers show that the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June.
That was well ahead of the expectation of about 118,000, well ahead of some whispers that we heard on Wall Street of a sub 100,000 number.
So this is indeed beating expectations.
We were also expecting.
A slowdown, we did not get that.
This is basically in line with May, which was revised higher.
It's also good news.
The unemployment rate was expected to go up, it didn't, it went down to 4.1%.
That is a very healthy number.
This is still relatively historically low, and again, it's below the 4.3% that we had expected.
Pretty good, right?
Unemployment Drops to 4.1%00:00:56
Pretty good.
Hard to complain with that.
I mean, it's so good that Debbie Wasserman Schultz looked like a Total fool when she went on the air today because she had more complaining to do.
And well, the CNN anchor was like, Gosh, you know, gas prices are coming down, jobs are being added, inflation is lower, the market's up.
Like, what is there to complain about?
Oh, Debbie finds something, she finds something, but we won't listen to the whole thing because, well, I don't want to do that to you, especially as we're approaching a holiday.
But anyway, just hear how whiny she is as the CNN anchor is kind of sounding kind of sort of maca.
Here are some things that have happened.
Gas prices down.
Economic indicators are decent.
Brand new jobs report shows that's much better than expected.
And border crossings are down.
And now Trump's mega spending bill looks like it's going to be passed by Republicans.
How do you Democrats fight back with the wins that Trump can tout.
