7.1.2025 – NLS – Big, Beautiful Bill & Elon’s American Party

Send us Fan MailThis episode spans a wide range of political and cultural commentary, from rapid construction projects like the makeshift Florida migrant facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” to a lively debate about a DOJ proposal to revoke citizenship from naturalized citizens who commit crimes.

There’s a comical detour into Lego investment schemes, before diving into the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping legislative proposal endorsed by Trump. The bill includes tax reforms, entitlement cuts, Planned Parenthood defunding, and defense boosts — while increasing the deficit. Julie notes that the Congressional Budget Office may be overstating the cost.The show ends with a flash poll asking whether listeners would join Elon Musk's proposed “American Party,” which aims to represent the disaffected middle. Callers are split, with some skeptical of Musk’s political chops and others intrigued by the idea.
