Episode Synopsis

📉 FACT CHECK: Most Americans OPPOSE Trump’s “Big Beautiful Budget” — Here’s Why🎙 Welcome back to The Josh Lafazan Show — where facts matter, and we hold power accountable.Today we’re diving deep into one of the most dangerous, dishonest, and destructive pieces of legislation in recent memory: Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Budget.”He calls it a win.America calls it a scam.🧾 New polling shows a majority of Americans now reject this bill — and once you see what’s actually inside, you’ll understand why.In this episode, we break down:✅ What’s really in the bill📊 Why voters across the spectrum are furious🏥 How it guts Medicaid and healthcare access💸 How it explodes the national deficit🌲 Why Trump is selling off public lands🏛 And why this bill is in serious trouble in the U.S. SenateLet’s get into it. 👇🟦 NEW POLLING: America HATES This BudgetAccording to a brand-new Pew poll:🔻 61% of Americans oppose the budget🔻 Just 29% support it🔻 67% of independents and over 70% of young voters disapproveEven 18% of Republicans say they’re “deeply concerned.”Trumpworld is panicking — launching a national PR blitz to sell a bill the public has already rejected. But the numbers don’t lie.🟥 MEDICAID CUTS — 11 MILLION Could Lose HealthcareTrump’s budget slashes $900 billion from Medicaid over the next decade.📉 The Congressional Budget Office estimates over 11 million Americans will lose coverage🏥 Rural hospitals are sounding the alarm about mass closures💸 States will be forced to reduce eligibility, raise costs, and cut servicesThis isn’t “draining the swamp.” This is gutting care for the elderly, poor, and disabled — to pay for billionaire tax cuts.🟨 $4.8 TRILLION Added to the DeficitTrump claims to be a fiscal conservative. But this budget?💥 Adds $4.8 trillion to the national debt💸 Fueled by massive tax breaks for the rich🛑 Ends pay-as-you-go rules that require spending offsets📉 Even conservative economists say this could trigger credit downgrades and interest rate hikesTrump’s spending is reckless — and fiscally fatal.🌲 LAND GRAB: Selling Off America’s Public HeritageBuried in the bill is one of the largest land transfers in U.S. history:🏞 Over 3 million acres of public land up for sale to fossil fuel and mining corporations🚫 No environmental review. No tribal consultation. No public vote.📉 Western states like Utah, Nevada, and Colorado are revolting — with bipartisan outrageThis is public land for private profit — plain and simple.🏛 SENATE REVOLT — Trump Can’t Get the VotesThough the bill passed the House, it’s hitting a wall in the Senate:• Moderate Republicans like Collins and Murkowski are balking• Joe Manchin calls the bill “dead on arrival”• Even MAGA-aligned senators fear town hall backlash and election risks➡️ There’s no clear path to 51 votes. And Trump knows it.❗️WHY AMERICANS REJECT THIS BILL:Because it’s everything they say they don’t want:🚫 Punishes the poor, rewards the rich🚫 Kills healthcare, funds war🚫 Sells our land, destroys protections🚫 Adds historic debt with zero benefit for working familiesThis isn’t budgeting — it’s economic vandalism.🎯 POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS — 2026 & 2028Trump hoped this bill would define his return. Instead, it may define his defeat.🗳 In 2026, Republicans like Mike Garcia (CA), Brandon Williams (NY), and Anna Paulina Luna (FL) are now top Democratic targets🗳 In 2028, this budget could haunt Trump in every ad — showing seniors losing Medicaid, forests bulldozed, and billionaires cashing inEven Trump allies admit: “This bill is toxic — and it’s going to cost us.”💬 Let us know in the comments:Do you support or oppose Trump’s budget?Should public land be sold off to private developers?And how should Democrats fight back?
