TMI Show Ep 174: “What Is the America Party”

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is now law. What happens next? On “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan,” we visit President Trump’s over-the-top Fourth of July signing at the White House, complete with B-2 bombers, marking this sweeping policy as his second term’s signature achievement. The BBB slashes taxes on tips and overtime (but only 2.5% of workers actually qualify), guts Medicaid and denies coverage to millions of poor Republican voters, eliminates food benefits to increase starvation, and abolishes clean energy incentives, and balloons the national debt by $3 trillion. Trump called it “the greatest victory yet,” but the public’s not sold—55% oppose the BBB. Protests erupted nationwide, with 300 “Free America” demonstrations opposing Trump’s pro-billionaire agenda. Ted and Manila unpack the controversies, from the bill’s divisive impact to the 2026 midterm election fallout. This is must-watch political heat!
