Hello and welcome to background briefing available 24 7 at background briefing. I'm me and

Masters and today we'll look into a number of stories and issues in the news.

We'll begin with the House passage of Trump's big, beautiful bill, which has Wall Street and the Fed rattled, calling for fiscal discipline as Trump's economic madness blows up the debt,

making interest payments much higher than defense spending while driving investors away from

the bond market,

which finances our debt. We will discuss how Trump's economic madness will lead to social

disintegration in a country awash with guns, which any deranged assassin with tortured politics

can use to kill young Israeli diplomats or almost kill a president.

Joining us to discuss the Robin Hood in reverse bill that steals from the poor

to make the rich even richer now before the Senate is Robert Johnson,

the Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking,

who was chief economist of the United States Senate

Banking Committee and the United States Senate Budget Committee.

Then we'll examine why the class-blind Brahman left of the Democratic Party establishment

lost the working man and woman to the merchant right in the form of a self-enriching conman whose maga populism has enticed

a growing number of non-college educated and minority Americans to vote against their interests.

Joining us is Joan Williams, Distinguished Professor of Law and Hastings Foundation Chair Emerita

at the University of California College of Law, San

Francisco.

An award-winning scholar of Social Inequity, her books include unbending gender, why family

and work conflict, and what to do about it, and white working class, overcoming class

cluelessness in America.
