It's happening.. | Asmongold TV

The Senate passed President Trump's "big beautiful bill" early this morning on a 50-50 tie broken by Vice President JD Vance, who came to the Capitol to cast the deciding vote. The bill now heads to the House, where its fate is uncertain. The host, Asmongold, walks through the substance of the bill, the political dynamics that nearly killed it, and the fundamental dysfunction of legislating through massive omnibus packages.

The bill itself is a sprawling reconciliation package running over a thousand pages. It extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts, which were set to expire at the end of the year, and includes provisions like no tax on tips, lower taxes on Social Security, and deductibility of car loan interest on American-made vehicles. The host notes that the tax cuts are particularly important for lower- and middle-income households, and that letting them expire would have been devastating. But the bill also includes a ten-year moratorium on AI regulation, which the host calls "one of the biggest W's" — allowing U.S. companies to develop AI without ethical restrictions to maintain a competitive edge against China. He compares it to the nuclear arms race: "If everybody's trying to build a nuclear weapon, wouldn't you want to be the person that has it first?"
