This morning on The Morning Ride, Phil breaks down the historic passage of the Big Beautiful Budget (BBB), exploring how it ends the cycle of short-term funding and brings major reforms to Medicaid. We cover everything from billionaires’ political leanings to flash floods and federal responsibility, with updates on local stories as well, including traffic meltdowns and secretive union negotiations. Plus, guests Paula Llamas and Jackson Maynard join us to expose the dangers of socialist politics and defend transparency in Washington government.
