Summary

Dan Mandis (WTN-Nashville) fills in for Gary and Eric. House Speaker Mike Johnson expects the Big Beautiful Bill to pass early Thursday morning. Overnight as Red Eye began, it seemed President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill was all but dead in the House with unexpected opposition by 5 Republicans and 8 no votes/ Tennessee Congressman Scott Desjarlais joined the show to talk about the stalled bill and whether or not he thought it will eventually pass / Reaction from Newt Gingrich and Congressman Jim Jordan / As early Thursday morning progressed, Trump spoke to the Repubican holdouts by phone and House Speaker Johnson noted they now had the votes to pass the bill / And of course, Senate Democrats repeated the same yawn inducing hyperbole on the dangers of the bill.
