Summary

Jimmy Failla had some urgent last-minute Fox business to attend to, so we flashed the Fox Across America guest host signal and Texas Radio Hall of Famer Paul Gleiser came to the rescue once again. Paul tells us why he largely agrees with Elon Musk’s blunt assessment of President Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill”, and then turns to the phones to see what Americans think of this massive piece of legislation. Texas Republican Congressman Pat Fallon explains how although he recognizes this spending bill is far from perfect, it is the best short-term option lawmakers have available to pass spending cuts. White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields addresses Musk’s concerns about the “big, beautiful bill”, and sheds light on how this legislation will ultimately lower taxes for working-class Americans. PLUS, Texas Republican Congressman Lance Gooden checks in to talk about why it is imperative that Congress thoroughly investigates former President Biden’s use of an autopen.
