Stewart Slams Trump Bill, Media and Paramount Deal

News summary

President Trump's newly signed budget bill, known as the 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' has sparked strong criticism for stripping hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians of health insurance and food assistance, while benefiting the wealthy through tax cuts and expanded defense spending. Jon Stewart, on The Daily Show, denounced the bill as a 'legislative coup' emblematic of systemic flaws and highlighted the performative opposition of Republican lawmakers who ultimately voted in favor. The bill is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the national deficit and includes deep cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other welfare programs. Stewart also condemned media coverage for amplifying scripted GOP dissent. In addition, he addressed Paramount Global's controversial settlement with Trump regarding a 60 Minutes interview, raising concerns about journalistic integrity and First Amendment issues. The bill's unpopularity and its potential political ramifications, especially for upcoming elections, remain under debate.
