Summary

Max Rose, filling in for Jason Kander, joins Ravi Gupta this week to break down the GOP’s reckless budget bill as Mike Johnson shamelessly spins its benefits on Fox News and Chip Roy sells voters a dangerous pack of cuts. They analyze Lisa Murkowski’s pushback to Rand Paul’s criticism, Trump’s bizarre threat to Elon Musk, and how delaying Medicaid cuts until after the midterms is a cynical ploy to fool voters. Rose and Gupta also dive into Trump’s desperate attacks on Mamdani and what his victory signals for the future of bold progressive ideas, plus they discuss CBS News settling a Trump lawsuit, and Trump’s sneaky move to shift his Des Moines Register case to a friendlier state court, all while Fox News parrots GOP talking points with zero shame. This and more on the podcast that helps you, the majority of Americans who believe in progress, convince your conservative friends and family to join us—this is Majority 54!

0:00.0	So we got a lot to talk about today.
0:02.6	We're going to talk about the GOP budget bill.
0:05.6	We're going to talk about the continued fight over the New York City mayoral results and the
0:09.2	question of who exactly is the Democratic establishment and what do they want.
0:13.5	And then we're going to talk about CBS, who waived the white flag, surrendered to the Trump
0:18.1	administration, essentially don't want the protections of the First Amendment.

0:46.5	Well, we'll get to the New York stuff, which I'm really pumped to talk about.
0:49.8	But I would be remiss given this as a national audience. They probably get sick of me talking about New York, which we'll talk about it as a national
0:55.4	conversation because it really is, whether it should be or not, we'll talk about.
0:59.5	Well, we've got this Europe budget bill going through Congress, and I think it's very
1:03.0	helpful to have you here as somebody who served in Congress and know how things work.
1:06.9	Let's start actually with Mike Johnson, who went on Fox News, and he seemed fairly confident that they're going to get this thing passed.
1:13.6	Would you say 85 to 90% it's identical?
1:18.6	Yes, that's great, Sean. Good to be with you.
1:21.6	85% to 90% of this bill is the House generated product.
