HOUSE GOP LEADERS SCRAMBLE FOR PLAN B AFTER TRUMP, MUSK LEAD CONSERVATIVE FURY AGAINST SPENDING BILL
JESSE WATTERS: Christmas is only a week away. And while you're out doing last-minute shopping, so is Congress. But here's the difference. You have a budget. Congress doesn't. And Congress just got caught trying to put $100 billion on our credit card. How long does $100 billion last? Probably all year, right?

They're giving money to the State Department to censor things that they don't like online. We're funding Congress to take away our free speech.
…
