0:00.0	All right, y'all. Hello. So, as promised, I am here, it's a Saturday, July 19th, and I'm going to deep dive into
0:10.6	the newly passed by both the House and the Senate, Big Beautiful Bill, and signed by Trump.
0:17.2	Now, Shanti's not here. This is a one-off from me. And originally, this episode was going to be a
0:24.9	Patreon exclusive. But then I was like, you know what? In doing all of this research that I've been doing,

1:31.2	if you want to take a deeper dive. And those sources ranged from MSNBC to the actual bill itself,
1:38.2	to Fox News, to Pod Save America, to the BBC, just tons of different outlets that were writing about this.
1:51.0	It is an 887 page bill. No, I did not read all of it, but I did read some of it and tried to
1:59.6	search through it as much as I could.
2:01.8	I will say that my core values that I'm coming into this conversation with is that I want
