Summary

John talks about 3 issues: 1 The House passed a budget resolution from the Senate, clearing the way for the next phase of Donald Trump’s agenda in “one big beautiful bill” - the resolution also included the SAVE Act, which will require anyone registering to vote to provide a passport or birth certificate for proof of citizenship. Half of Americans do not have a passport, and tens of millions of Americans do not have access to a birth certificate, making this a disenfranchising poll tax for large swaths of the country; 2 stock markets woke up hungover from record gains yesterday to realize Trump’s tariff strategy was still in place; especially for Chinese goods, and resumed a downward slide toward recession; and 3 the Supreme Court voted 9 to 0 to direct the Trump Administration to stop deporting migrants without due process and to facilitate the return to the U.S. Kilmar Abrego Garcia who the government has acknowledged was deported in error to El Salvador. Then, John speaks with Ahmed Baba - the founder of the bestselling Substack newsletter AhmedBaba.News and a columnist at The Independent. He documented every day of Trump’s first term and was among the first to cover Project 2025. Finally, John chats with listeners about how hard it will be to vote with the SAVE Act and Bob Dylan's latest tours.
