Good morning. It's Memorial Day. And today, a Supreme Court case involving religious liberty turns on a technicality.

Christian businesses arguing an advisory board that became a powerful agency upsets our system of checks and balances.

You know, the idea that we would take a statute which doesn't set up an independent agency

and declare it one, strikes me as pretty inconsistent with everything that we've done in this area.

Also today, the Monday Money beat David Bonson standing by to talk about market reaction

to the big, beautiful bill, and a musical history book today.

It's Monday, May 26th. This is the world and everything in it from listener-supported World

Radio. I'm Jenny Ruff. And I'm Nick Eicher. Good morning.

Up next, Kent Covington with today's news. Senate Republicans are now taking a hard look at the budget

bill passed in the House last week. That is, of course, what President Trump calls his big, beautiful

bill. It includes tax cuts and funding for the president's other top priorities on border enforcement

and national security.

And on those points, Senate Republicans are largely united, but some, like Senator Rand Paul,

say the bill fails to address Washington's spending problem.

I support spending cuts.

I think the cuts currently in the bill are wimpy and anemic, but I still would support the bill, even with wimpy and anemic cuts

if they weren't going to explode the debt. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects

that the bill would add trillions to the national debt over a decade, and Paul says the

spiraling debt is a threat to America's national security.

How Speaker Mike Johnson responded on Sunday.

The national debt is the greatest threat to our national security and deficits are a serious problem.

What I think Rand is missing on this one is the fact that we are quite serious about this.
