  • Will Trump's big beautiful bill bankrupt America?
    Jul 2 2025

    Trump squeaked his spending bill through the Senate last night with the casting vote of his VP. Three Senators voted against it. Many more had threatened to vote against it but were either won round or scared into it.

    Elon Musk says it will bankrupt America and wants to take the political fight to any vulnerable Senator who disagrees. Would he really start his own political party?

    And who would Republicans fear more if so - Trump or Musk?

    Later, would Trump have gone to jail if he hadn’t won the presidency? We speak to the lawyer at the side of special counsel Jack Smith today, Alex Whiting.
