How ‘Big and Beautiful’ is Trump’s Bill? (with Jamelle Bouie of NYT)
Manage episode 494178689 series 1017988
From the opinion pages of The New York Times to his popular TikTok feed, Jamelle Bouie is a leading voice in American politics.
This week, Bouie helps us sift through the inner workings of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” (3:00): its promise of prosperity for the middle class (8:00), the “moral economy” guiding the legislation (13:00), the projected losses in healthcare coverage across the country (16:00), particularly in right-leaning, rural communities (24:00), the GOP’s vision for the future (30:00), and how strict reporting requirements will put SNAP benefits at risk for millions (38:00).
On the back-half, Bouie reflects on the ghost of Democrats past (45:00), campaign lessons from Zohran Mamdani’s bid for New York City mayor (50:00), the recent ICE raids sweeping Los Angeles (1:05:00), and the historical antecedents that help put this moment in American life in perspective (1:13:00).
