Big Beautiful Bill SUCCEEDS - What Now?

Trump's big, beautiful bill is just

moments away from being passed into law.

But what will it actually do?

And what could the fallout be?

Welcome to America Uncovered. I'm Chris Chapel

. Well, folks, it looks like Trump's big

, beautiful bill is finally happening

. This absolutely massive

budget reconciliation bill has been

hanging over the news cycle for months,

and in many ways, Trump's entire presidency depends on it

. Back in May, the bill was passed in the House of Representatives by a single vote,

215 to 214, with one Republican abstaining and

two more Republicans missing the vote entirely

. One of those missing representatives, Andrew Garbarino,

couldn't make it because, according to Speaker Johnson

, he literally fell asleep

. Oh, I'm sorry. Is this too boring for you?

I mean, we've only been

talking about this since freaking January.

I'm up all night putting together an

episode to explain this monumental bill

taking on the Hunter S. Thompson diet of

Dunh Hills Shivas and Taco Salad

and you can't even stay awake.

It's no wonder that when Speaker Mike Johnson heard

Garbarino was sleeping, he said,

"I'm going to just strangle him." But um and

then but he's my dear friend.

Regardless, the big beautiful bill

advanced to the Senate where after some changes

, it again passed by the slimmest possible margin

. This time it was Vice

President JD Vance who broke the tie.

Now it's headed back to the House for its final approval

. If passed, it'll go straight to the president's desk

where it will be signed into law.

So, what's in the big beautiful bill

and why has it been so divisive?

For the sake of brevity, let's focus on what Trump really wanted out of it

. Starting with immigration

. Okay, so this was the big one for Trump's base

. Dealing with

illegal immigration consistently ranks

among the top priorities for American voters

, Republicans especially.

According to Gallup, it even ranks above the economy

. And the big beautiful bill did not disappoint

. It dedicated over

$165 billion to immigration enforcement

over the next four years with almost 75 billion going directly towards ICE.

this brings its annual budget from around $8 billion per year

to more than 18 billion

. All this money will go towards

things like hiring thousands of newofficers

, expanding the border wall,

detention facilities, and alligators.

That's not a joke, by the way.

Yesterday, Trump visited a newly

constructed ice facility deep within the Florida Everglades

. It's been dubbed alligator Alcatraz

, a place with cops in the form of alligators

. A planet where alligators evolved from men

Chatter warned us about this.

When questioned by the media, Trump had this to say.

The idea that it

just get by an alligator or a snake.
I

guess that's the concept.
Brutal,

but I'm just going to assume he's joking.

I mean, there's no way he What's that, Shelly

? Oh, it looks like we have leaked

security camera footage from the detention center

. Let's take a look.

Okay, we have confirmation that

alligators are present in the area.

All right, the prisoner is making a jump for it

. And oh, that was close.

Now, let's see if he can get to the next one.

And oh god, the humanity.

I can't bear to look.

Another big part of the Big Beautiful bill is taxes.

Now, this one's a bit funny for Republicans.

You see, the Big Beautiful bill makes

the tax cuts from Trump's first term tax cuts and jobs act permanent

. Now, to most Republicans, that sounds pretty good

. If people have more money, they can buy more stuff

, invest in more businesses, etc., etc

. In the long run,

that could help build a larger tax base.

But there's a catch.

According to the Congressional Budget Office,

those tax cuts are the biggest reason why the bill

could add more than $3 trillion to the deficit

. This is why the bill has come under fire from fiscal hawks like Ran Paul

and Thomas Massie.

Now, the bill tries to offset this with cuts to programs like Medicaid

something to the tune of $930 billion over the next decade

. But still, that's not enough to

get the country out of its fiscal hole.

If you've been watching America Uncovered

, you may have caught our episode about Doge

and why it ultimately failed to reconcile America's debts

the truth is, most of the government's big ticket items

, Social Security, Medicare,

Medicaid, and defense spending aren't going anywhere

. To actually get the country out of debt

, the US would need explosive GDP growth

. I'm talking four to 5%.

And Trump thinks he can get there with energy

. Now, the Big Beautiful bill does a few things here

. First, it fasttracks new oil and gas leases on federal lands

and streamlines the permitting process

. It also supports nuclear power

, extending production and investment tax credits

. The idea is that by reducing energy prices

, the cost of doing business would go down across the board

. The cheaper the energy, the cheaper it is to keep factories running,

to deliver goods, to keep the lights on in retail stores etc

, . If everything comes together

, that would give the

economy enough momentum to start climbing out of the debt

. However,

there's one sector the bill doesn't smile upon.

Renewables.

The big beautiful bill reduces or flatout eliminates

tax credits for things like wind, solar, and electric vehicles,

which were established under Biden's inflation reduction act

. This is probably one of the causes behind the widening split between Trump

and Elon Musk, whose company Tesla has taken a

nose dive ever since Trump took office.

So, with Trump's bill so close to passing

, Musk has threatened to create a third party

, potentially undermining Trump's GOP

. In response, Trump threatened Elon's subsidies

and told him to go back to Africa.

You can't say that, man. Or at least I can't say that.

Are you trying to get me demonetized?

But in a bit of poetic irony,

Trump suggested sending Doge after Musk and his lucrative government contracts.

Doge is the monster that have that might have

to go back and eat Elon.

Wouldn't that be terrible?

That's it. I'm convinced.

We're not living in a simulation.

We're living in a Shakespearean tragedy.

Specifically, Anthony and Cleopatra.

What manner, oh thing, is your crocodile?

Trump is Caesar.

Elon is Mark Anthony.

Cleopatra, well, obviously that's Grimes.

You.

In any case, the big beautiful bill

marks the real beginning of Trump's second term

. And only time will tell

whether this bill fundamentally changes

America's course in history or if Trump becomes the next pitfall Harry
