GOP Congressional Leader on Tariffs, DOGE and the “Big Beautiful Bill”

Season 2025 Episode 7239 | 18m 17s

A court has blocked Trump's controversial tariffs, while his massive budget package — dubbed by Trump the “big, beautiful bill” — passed the House last week. Blake Moore, a Republican representative from Utah, was a key figure in shaping the legislation. He joins Walter Isaacson to talk about its priorities and to answer critics who say the bill favors the wealthy and expands the deficit.
