0:29.7	Is this MAGA Republican budget bill blowing up already? They're calling it a big,
0:34.9	beautiful bill, but it looks like a big, beautiful disaster.
0:38.7	Maga Republican Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin was on right-wing propaganda media today,
0:45.2	and he was sending a message saying, we don't know what the hell these magas are doing in the

1:37.3	you know, you would say it's all going well. It's one big, beautiful bill. The beautiful
1:40.3	bill is so big, it's beautiful. It's going amazing. So the other tack that I guess this
1:46.0	Trump regime is taking now is that when they send their people to even show up before committees
