Is the Trump & Musk WAR Just Another ACT?

Video Description

Donald Trump has spent months praising his “Big, Beautiful” spending bill — packed with tax cuts for the wealthy, benefit cuts for those struggling, and trillions more added to America’s national debt. Now, economists and critics are warning of a looming “debt bomb” that could shake the U.S. economy. But no one expected Elon Musk to be leading the charge against Trump. The billionaire has turned on his former ally, calling the bill a “disgusting abomination” and warning Senators that voters will punish those who “betray America.” Could Musk’s intervention force Republicans to defy Trump’s agenda? And what will Trump do in response? Later, Emily and Jon speak to New Yorker journalist Evan Osnos, author of The Haves and the Have-Yachts. His reporting gives a rare glimpse into the lives of the ultrarich reshaping American politics — and what their influence means for Democrats heading into 2025. #donaldtrump #elonmusk #usa #uspolitics #congress #senate #jdvance #america #americanpolitics #stevebannon #policy #bill #taxcuts #trumptariffs #tariffs #trade #tradewar #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
