President Donald Trump's “One Big, Beautiful Bill” Act is in for one big, beautiful rebranding effort. Today in Georgia, VP JD Vance will seek to reframe the Republican megalaw as primarily  “working families tax cuts.” In part, that's a reaction to weak poll numbers for Trump's signature legislative accomplishment heading into the midterms. But the new approach is also a reflection of a divide within the GOP over whether congressional Republicans have been sufficiently proactive in promoting the policy to voters. Playbook's Adam Wren and Politico White House reporter Irie Sentner break down what to watch.

Two Things the Big Beautiful Tax Bill Does and One It Does Not

In this episode, we break down the sweeping changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA) and what they mean for mineral and royalty owners. While this behemoth 940-page legislation touches on a lot of different areas, we focused on the provisions that could directly or indirectly impact our listeners. It's no surprise that this bill represents a complete reversal from the previous administration's energy policies; it creates what may be the most favorable environment for oil and gas development that we've seen in decades. From mandatory quarterly federal lease sales to restored tax advantages for drilling companies, locking in the estate tax limit, and more.  Listen to learn if this bill could boost the value of your mineral rights (either directly or indirectly).

Big tax law changes always bring big rumors. But before you assume Social Security is now tax-free or that you're getting a $40K deduction just for breathing, let's set the record straight on what this new bill didn't actually do. In this episode, Trent and Brandon tackle the myths swirling around the recently passed “Big Beautiful Bill” and give you the facts you need to make smart financial decisions.

Nick and Michael crack open one of the most controversial healthcare shifts in years, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OB-BBA), and what it could mean for urgent care clinics across the country.

North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Jon Godfread says North Dakota -- and America, really, since our state is hardly an independent nation -- is on an unsustainable trajectory when it comes to the cost of insurance and health care. On this Plain Talk, Godfread, who is also the current president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, argued that Congress, with its much-ballyhooed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, has made things worse. "With what happened in the budget reconciliation bill, I'm really worried about this upcoming open enrollment period." Godread, who is a Republican, argued that some of the provisions in the bill are "really going to harm consumers" and predicts "pretty significant rate increases across the board across the country." He said there is talk of Congress coming back and fixing some of these issues, but that will be too little too late.  "If they look at doing something, changing it in December, well, at that point, I've already gone on, shopped as a consumer, and realized the price is too high. I'm not going back in the last two weeks of the year to say, 'Oh, well, maybe this time they promise it's going to be better.'" Pricing healthy people out of the insurance market would narrow the pool and drive up costs, creating what Godfread described as a "death spiral." "We're on a track right now that is not sustainable, right? I mean, there is no more more to give when you get to health insurance premiums." On an unrelated topic, earlier this year, the state legislature passed a law merging the state's previously independent Securities Department under Godfread's office after controversial Securities Commissioner Karen Tyler went to work for the state's Industrial Commission. That Godfread's office is now in charge of the inquiry into the high-profile dissolution of Epic Companies. Godfread said he couldn't comment on that matter, specifically, but said he was surprised to learn that a restitution fund created by lawmakers to help mitigate those financially harmed by fraud was sitting empty. "Another piece that we found is back in 2019, there was a restitution fund that was created by the legislature for the Securities Department," he said. Under Tyler's leadership, "that fund has never had money put into it. That to me is a big problem." If you want to participate in Plain Talk, just give us a call or text at 701-587-3141.

It is expected to increase the federal deficit by $3 to $4 trillion. The bill primarily benefits households with incomes over $500,000. Medicaid cuts are expected to save $900 billion. The child tax credit has been increased from $2,000 to $2,200. Many environmental tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act have been eliminated.

The long-awaited "Big Beautiful Bill" has finally passed, and it's reshaping America's construction and housing landscape in ways both expected and surprising. Donnie and Eric dive deep into this massive legislation to unpack what it really means for contractors, developers, homebuyers, and the future of housing affordability.As rain continues to plague construction schedules across the Carolinas, Donnie shares invaluable insights about an unexpected side effect – widespread bathroom ceiling mold caused by malfunctioning vent fans. This practical advice alone could save homeowners thousands in unnecessary roof repairs when the real culprit is a simple damper issue.The heart of the conversation examines the BBB's most impactful provisions. Contractors will celebrate the 100% equipment deduction that's already enabling business expansion, while developers gain advantages through increased Low Income Housing Tax Credits and streamlined permitting processes. The hosts thoughtfully debate whether these benefits will ultimately reach homebuyers or remain primarily with developers.Perhaps most forward-thinking is the provision allowing 529 savings accounts to fund skilled trade education. With associate degrees in construction technology costing just $1,400 per semester at North Carolina tech schools, this opens crucial pathways into trades desperately seeking qualified workers. As Donnie notes, "You have no idea how far you're separated from the rest of the construction population just by being able-bodied, smart, having a valid driver's license, and showing up on time."For those discouraged by the seeming lack of direct assistance for first-time homebuyers, the hosts point listeners toward valuable resources through the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency. The conversation concludes with cautious optimism that while the initial benefits favor developers and production, a stronger construction sector will eventually create more affordable housing options.Ready to navigate the changing construction landscape?
