On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head dives into the high-stakes politics and economic implications of President Trump’s newly passed “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman breaks down the legislative battle in the Senate, where temperamental conservatives like Rand Paul, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis pushed back, prompting criticism from voices like Elon Musk and raising talk of a new political party. Grothman also discusses the transformation of a former airport into a detention center, the troubling rise in attacks on ICE agents, and how unchecked immigration could affect American communities.
The second conversation in this episode is with Thomas Savidge who serves as a Research Fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research. He examines the economic reality behind Trump’s flagship bill. While praising the extension of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and a simplified tax filing process, he warns about the steep price of raising the SALT cap to $40,000 — a move that largely benefits wealthy, high-tax states like California. Savage also critiques the bill’s failure to meaningfully reform Medicaid or streamline the tax code, underscoring how legislative compromise often leaves deeper problems unresolved.
