President Trump is having some trouble
00:00:01
with his big beautiful bill. He says no
00:00:03
one goes on vacation till Congress
00:00:04
delivers. He's sticking to that July 4th
00:00:07
deadline. Republicans are divided over
00:00:08
key provisions, most of which is
00:00:10
surrounds Medicaid. If this passes as
00:00:13
is, it not only is a budget buster and
00:00:17
impose the greatest transfer of wealth
00:00:19
in history. It's also basically a move
00:00:21
towards autocracy. I mean, there's just
00:00:23
so many terrible things in this bill.
00:00:25
Nobody in the administration can be
00:00:26
found in contempt of court. So they can
00:00:28
never subpoena them and ask to force
00:00:29
them to come testify. They're talking
00:00:30
about putting up a million plus acres of
00:00:33
national land for sale. There's so much
00:00:35
ugly in this bill. Yeah, there is.
00:00:38
I I I can't see it not passing, but I'm
00:00:41
telling you, he's losing the step. I
00:00:42
don't think he has a strangle hold that
00:00:44
everybody thinks he does.
