    Join Matt Lewis and Bill Scher on the DMZ as they dive into the latest drama surrounding the Senate's passage of "The Act" (formerly the One Big Beautiful Bill).

    From procedural hiccups to GOP rebellions led by figures like Chip Roy and Thomas Massie, the House vote hangs in the balance.

    Will Trump's pressure tactics and MAGA PACs force compliance, or will dissenters like Lisa Murkowski and Tom Tillis derail the bill?

    Plus, a look at the bill’s Medicaid cuts, deficit concerns, and its impact on the GOP’s working-class image.

    Don’t miss this lively discussion, plus a nod to vocational education and some Independence Day history!

    In this lively DMZ episode, Matt Lewis and Bill Scher dive into the stunning New York mayoral primary results, exploring whether Zohran Mamdani could be the next AOC and what his win means for the Democratic Party’s future.

    First, though, they debate whether Donald Trump's air strikes on Iran were wise.

    They also unpack the chaotic “Big Beautiful Bill” – Trump’s ambitious omnibus legislation facing a tight July 4 deadline, packed with controversial Medicaid cuts and debt ceiling debates.

    Plus, a surprising reveal about how most viewers are watching DMZ (hint: it’s not your phone!). Tune in for sharp political analysis, witty banter, and insights into America’s political landscape.
