What is Trump's Big Beautiful Bill about?
One big, beautiful bill. I'd like to name it that, if you can.
Really? Big Beautiful Bill? That's the best you could come up with? It's a stupid name. Okay, also, that's what Jordan Hudson calls Bill Belichick. The point is, nobody is going to go along with that. President Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill. One Big Beautiful Bill. Trump's Big Beautiful Bill.
My God, I guess they are going to go along with it. It's a big, beautiful bill. The BBB. Although it is reminding some people of something else. Even if you're getting excitement from Capitol Hill and the White House over the BBL, the big, beautiful bill. Sorry. Share your screen right now. Right now, share it or this interview is over. I love how flustered he got after that. It's the BBL. Oh, sorry, sorry, I mean butts. I mean big, juicy asses. Now, for those who don't know, a BBL stands for Brazilian butt lift. It is a procedure that some women get to enlarge their posteriors and it's quite popular with Instagram ass models or so I'm told. I wouldn't know because my For You page is nothing but photos of my beautiful wife. I love you, baby. I would never follow 17 female golfers with huge asses online. This is the one show this year my wife actually came to. She's... She's watching this right now. But after months of negotiating last night, Republicans stayed up all night and passed a big, beautiful bill.
And maybe BBL was a better name because this bill is thick and mostly ass.
Here's what's in it. It extends the president's signature 2017 tax cuts, and that's at a cost of about $4 trillion. And that's paid for in part by nearly $700 billion in cuts to Medicaid, that health care program for those on the lower end of the income scale. It also comes with cuts to social safety nets, like food stamps.
Wow, cutting health care and food stamps to pay for tax cuts. I mean, the only way this could be more cartoonishly mean to poor people is if it said Bob Cratchit has to work on Christmas Day. He's just a frog. Why does he have to work at all? But this vote was very controversial, even among Republicans who didn't like how he increased the debt by $4 trillion. Do you realize how much money $4 trillion is? No, you don't, because none of it went to education. The point is, some Republicans were resisting this bill. So to get it passed, Donald Trump needed to use all of his political powers of persuasion. Trump made the rare journey to the Hill. The meeting was housed Republicans behind closed doors for 90 minutes for what he says was just a pep talk.
He called out members by name. He threw the F-bomb around. I have seen time and time again, they're dragged out of the House floor and back into the Republican members' cloakroom, and they're handed a cell phone, and it's Donald Trump literally yelling at them and cursing at them.
