Summary

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is here, and it’s big, but it’s anything but beautiful. Let's break down the 1,116-page monstrosity House Republicans are proudly parading as a legislative win. With a jaw-dropping $5 trillion price tag, this bill is less about helping Americans and more about widening the wealth gap, delivering the largest upward transfer of wealth in modern U.S. history. But that’s just the part you’ve heard about. We’re digging into the 10 sneakiest, most scandalous provisions buried in the fine print...because while the headlines are bad, the details are downright dystopian. So pour yourself something strong and settle in, this one’s going to make your blood boil. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Today I want to talk to you about something that's being sold to the American public as bold,

0:04.3

as transformative, and get this as beautiful, but it's not. It's anything but beautiful. It's dangerous.

0:10.3

It's cynical and it's ugly as hell. I'm talking about what House Republicans are calling

0:15.0

the big beautiful bill, right? It is big. 1116 pages big. It's also expensive, nearly $5 trillion over the next

a policy bomb dressed up in patriotic wrapping paper. You may have heard that this bill robs the poor to give to the

0:39.2

rich. That part is true. You may have heard that it slashes health care and it blows tax guts

0:43.8

for billionaires. That part is true too. But you probably haven't heard about some of the

0:49.3

deeply hidden, completely just unhinged, wildly dangerous provisions that didn't make the headlines.

That's what I'm here to walk you through. So I get comfortable. It's going to take a little bit.

And number one, it cripples America's courts.

1:17.4

I'm going to say that again.

1:18.3

It cripples our courts.

1:19.8

This bill includes language that would just bar funding for enforcing court orders

1:25.3

if they involve executive branch officials being held in contempt.

1:29.9

Interesting, right?

1:30.7

Meaning, if Trump or his allies are ordered by a judge to comply with the law, they can
