Elon Musk just came out and publicly torched the bill. Trump has been trying to get passed through the Senate for almost two months now. This bill is unraveling before our eyes, and it's not because of Democrats. Democrats are not the ones holding up Trump's big, beautiful bill. That's what he calls it, but we'll refer to it as a big, ugly bill throughout this, because it comes at a big, ugly cost to taxpayers, to the most vulnerable Americans, and it makes the rich richer. I mean, we'll talk about all of this.

We'll talk about Elon Musk's dissent, but just to lay the groundwork, today, Senate Republican holdouts left Trump's big, beautiful bill hanging in the balance. Senate Republicans are racing to pass a budget bill that is pivotal to Trump's second-term agenda ahead of the self-imposed 4th of July deadline. They said, they promised they would pass this by the 4th of July, and we know they follow up on all of their promises, like ending the war in Ukraine. Oh, wait, no, that's it. What about the 90 deals in 90 days? Oh, that didn't happen either. None of it happens. Nothing they promise happens.

And Elon Musk is now trying to, you know, put the final nail in the coffin and make sure this never gets passed. Senate Republicans are racing the past this. Party leadership have been twisting arms for an initial vote following the release of its latest version, 940 pages. Rank and file Republicans have been divided over how much to cut from welfare programs. I mean, Lord have mercy. Just read how evil the sentence is right here. Rank and file Republicans have been divided, not over how much to help the American people, but over how much to cut from welfare programs in order to cover the cost of extending the Trump tax breaks.

So the Trump tax breaks, for the richest of the rich, they take revenue away from the government. When you're taxing people less, you're not getting as much revenue, and you need to make up for that in some way, meaning you pay less in welfare or in social safetyness. The sprawling tax and spending measure passed the House of Representatives by a single vote. And now, multiple Republican senators said today, they are not voting. For example, Republican Senator Tom Tillis announced just two hours ago. He will vote against advancing Trump's big ugly bill in the Senate, joining GOP Senators Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, who have already announced their opposition.

We see a Fox News poll right here. Keep in mind, Fox News polling is actually quite accurate. It is completely separate from their punditry. So Jesse Waters has nothing to do with the polling. And the polling apparatus is quite good. And their polling apparatus says right here that 59% of Americans oppose the one big, ugly bill, and only 38% favorite. And here is Senator Amy Klobuchar, explaining exactly why. We know that the bill still rips away health care from millions of Americans and closes hundreds.

of rural hospitals. It still shifts cost to states and threatens food assistance for families across the country. It still adds trillions of dollars to the federal debt. People in this country, the more they hear about this, the more they don't like it. A Fox News poll recently, 60% of the people don't like it. Two to one, people say, this isn't going to help me. It's going to help wealthy people. people on Medicaid, they don't want to lose access to health care. One out of two people in assisted living are actually on Medicaid. Exactly. Now, Elon Musk, when he came out to nuke this bill, wasn't even concerned about Americans losing Medicaid. He wasn't citing the deep cuts to the most vulnerable community's safety nets in America. He wasn't citing, you know,

the effects on the economy. This will have long term. Let's break down. the multiple posts that Elon Musk sent in an attempt to torch the bill that he essentially lobbied for. He sunk so much money into buying Twitter into getting Trump elected so Trump could pass policy. But when that policy isn't just like brazenly benefiting Elon Musk, he's mad. This says, polls show that this bill is political suicide for the Republican Party. And this poll comes from the Terrence group. I've never heard of them. But the way they phrase their questions is just straight through Elon Musk's framing. It says, views on the one big, beautiful bill. Elon Musk claims that this legislation is an outrageous pork-filled spending bill

that will massively increase the budget deficit and burned American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt. And 58% of all voters agree. In hard Republican congressional districts, 53% of voters agree. In medium GOP congressional districts, 59% of voters agree. And in toss-up congressional districts, 61% of voters agree that this legislation is an outrageous pork-filled spending. bill that will massively increase the budget deficit and burdened American citizens. Who knew that one of our worst enemies could be one of our best messengers? I mean, not really. He still floats a lot of propaganda, but it seems like he's persuaded public opinion on this bill.

The next one says this one big, beautiful tax and spend legislation would increase the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion over the next decade. Out of all voters, 57% agree. In a hard Republican congressional district, 51% agree. medium, 58% agree, and toss up 60% agree. Really quickly, this is important. I'm sure you've heard the phrase flooding the zone. One of Trump's top strategist coined it, and he said,

if you overwhelm people with so much chaos, so many stories, they don't really know where to look. You can see that with Trump's corruption on a daily basis. That's why we are relentlessly staying on top of their lies. Most outlets can't. But you know who can? Ground news. I use ground news.

lean on them to tell me the bias ratings of who owns what's, what stories are getting buried, what stories are being ignored by a certain side. Left, right, center, it's all laid out. They tell you the bias of each publication, and even the blind spot feed alone makes a subscription worth it. The blind spot feed tells you exactly what your bubble is missing, which is very, very useful, in my opinion. You've got to know your blind spots.

So here's what you can do. You can click on the first link in the description. or go to ground.news slash a.m. Either way, the top link in the description or ground.com slash a.m. will offer you 40% off their best features, their best plan, the one that I use. Again, top link in the description

gives you 40% off. I want to give a huge shout out to Ground News. They allow these videos to be possible, and I want to give a huge shout out to you guys. There are also hidden provisions throughout it. I mean, even beyond, like, the blatant, blatant cuts to food assistance, to student loans,

to programs that millions of Americans rely on, there are hidden provisions within this. So the bottom 40% of Americans would see their incomes fall after this happens. Elon Musk benefits, but he said, quote, the latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country, utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future. I mean, he kind of gives it away with this, the last few words right there. Donald Trump intentionally removed a provision that helped Elon Musk's companies, and this was right before Elon crashed the hell out about his NASA pick being removed. So, Elon Musk in this tweet,

is basically trying to use, trying to leverage all the political power he's amassed, the power base that he is amassed off the back of MAGA to turn it against Donald Trump. The same platform that Elon Musk bought and turned into a propaganda machine, he's now leveraging in order to push back against this bill that Trump is trying to get passed. And I just want to remind you, this is very, very important. As we're comparing Trump's term to Biden's term, we cannot forget this. First of all, if we contrast this with where we were four years ago under Biden, by this point in President Biden's term, he had already signed the $1.9 trillion American rescue plan. He delivered direct relief to families, expanded, expanded healthcare coverage, funded vaccines, funded more schools.

He then followed up with a bipartisan infrastructure act and the Inflation Reduction Act. Major legislative wins that helped invest in our country. And we literally got these within the first six months of Biden's term. All of this happened within the first six months. Trump, by contrast, has leaned heavily into just executive order after executive order. With Congress passing like small, small bills, none of them remotely as significant as Biden's early legislative achievements. We can also compare Middle Eastern wars. Which president was it that pulled us out of Afghanistan?

He wasn't scared to do it, even though he knew he would get a little bit of egg on his face, versus which president was it that hasn't been able to end any wars and has actually pulled us even further into another Middle Eastern war? It's absolute absurdity. And to continue, Chuck Schumer is now delaying this by another half a day by forcing everybody to read the 940-page megabill. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told Democratic senators Saturday that he will force the clerks to read the 1,000-page Republican megabill on the Senate floor once Republicans vote to proceed to the legislation. A procedural act that he's allowed to do in direct defiance that will take an estimate. 12 hours and further delay the final passage of Donald Trump's agenda by half a day at the least. Schumer told his caucus to prepare to force a full reading of the bill,

according to Democratic source familiar with the internal discussion over floor strategy. The question is whether Senate GOP leaders will force the clerks to read the bill late in the Saturday nights and early Sunday morning to complete the time and energy-consuming task, or whether staff will get some time to sleep before the Senate is expected to launch into a multi-hour series of votes known as the Vote Arama. I'm going to end this year.
