0:00.0 | Hey, good morning. It is Sunday, July the 6th. Last week was an undeniably important week for Donald Trump. |
0:13.1 | Republicans in Congress managed to push through the one big, beautiful bill act, just in time for Trump's entirely made up July 4th deadline, which allowed the president and his |
0:21.6 | allies to hold a celebratory signing ceremony at the White House on Independence Day, which is the |
0:26.5 | kind of extravagant photo op that Donald Trump loves. While congressional speakers like Mike Johnson |
0:31.6 | and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham were at the event, they were happy about the bill's |
0:35.9 | passage, very few other people |
0:37.8 | are pleased with this. The bill passed by the narrowest of margins in Congress with some |

1:16.8 | mega bill will extend Donald Trump's first term tax cuts that were made in 2017. It includes provisions |
1:22.5 | for some of his campaign promises, including a huge increase in funds to mobilize the largest mass deportation |
1:28.8 | operation in American history. And all of this will largely be done at the expense of the poorest |
1:34.4 | and most vulnerable Americans, some of whom will lose access to social safety net benefits like |
1:38.9 | Medicaid and SNAP programs that are being gutted in order to extend those tax cuts that will |
