Today we're going to talk about the deeply unpopular budget bill that Republicans are right now trying to ram through the Senate.

And I've got three interviews I speak with Senator Elizabeth Warren about what's in the bill,

Governor Gavin News about his new lawsuit against Fox News, and Congressman Robert Garcia, about taking over the oversight committee.

I'm Brian Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie.

As of late Saturday night, when I'm recording this, Republicans, of course, manage to scrounge

together enough senators to pass the most unpopular budget bill in modern American history.

This is a bill that has the support of only a third of Americans.

It's going to strip health care away from 14 million

Americans, food assistance away to the tune of $300 billion, and explode the deficit by $3 trillion.

And I want to be clear, Republicans know how unpopular this thing is, which is why someone like

Josh Hawley has spent months, months railing against its most destructive provision,

which is the deep cuts to Medicaid.

Here, for example, is what he said.

I mean, we can't be cutting health care for working people and for poor people in order to constantly give special tax treatment,

corporations, and other instances. And we've delayed that in this bill.

But unless we take further changes or take for the steps, it will happen in future years.

And I'm opposed to this.

We, we, if we're going to be working fast party, we've got to protect working people.

And I just, the Medicaid stuff in the year, I think it's bad. I think we've,

we've delayed the worst of it. And in the short term, for my state, you know, it's going to be

fine. But we, on going forward basis, we can't up a lot like this. I think the party has a lot

of thinking to do. Wow. Some earnest critique of his own party's bill. And yet, you know how Holly really drove that message home?
