Podcasts about budget battle

In back-to-back broadcasts, Tara dissects two critical developments shaping America's future. First, she takes listeners inside the heated GOP budget fight, exposing how Senate leadership—namely Lindsey Graham and John Thune—pushed for funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants and used accounting gimmicks to mask a $3.5 trillion deficit increase. Despite flashy claims of fiscal responsibility, Tara reveals that Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” relies on unrealistic 3% growth projections and temporary tariff revenues that may soon vanish—highlighting deep fractures within the Republican party. Then, the focus shifts to Iran. Tara warns that the so-called “Twelve-Day War” is anything but over. Key uranium enrichment sites like Isfahan remain untouched by U.S. bunker busters, harboring Chinese-run reactors that pose a massive global threat. With Israel threatening to assassinate Iran's leadership and Trump signaling a willingness to strike again, the conflict teeters on the edge of escalation. At the same time, Tara celebrates a Supreme Court decision ending the power of liberal judges to impose nationwide injunctions against Trump—a move she says breaks the left's judicial chokehold. Together, these episodes paint a picture of high-stakes political warfare—foreign and domestic—that could define Trump's legacy and the nation's security.

After months of back and forth, San Diego has a budget - how the City Council pushed through a partial over-ride of the Mayor's vetoes. A ceasefire is now in effect between Israel & Iran, but the conflict has created a tense few days for military families across San Diego. Plus it's still cooler than normal, listen for your First Alert Forecast. NBC7's Nichelle Medina has what you need to know this Tuesday morning.

This week we dig into the federal and state budget battles, and the question of a 3rd term for Governor Tony Evers, with special guests Dan Shafer of the Recombobulation Area and Civic Media, and Steven Webb from Planned Parenthood. We open with a discussion of the critical importance of Juneteenth this year, as DEI is under attack by the Trump Administration, and some cities and businesses pull back from supporting local celebrations. Robert provides a simple explanation of how the new U.S. Senate budget bill is even worse on Medicaid than the House budget bill, and it particularly damages rural hospitals. We update listeners on the latest State Budget news, including Speaker Vos' continuing crusade to force Governor Evers' hand with slashing cuts to UW System funding. The plot thickens because Senate Republicans can't pass a budget without UW cuts or they will lose the most right-wing members of their caucus, Senators Kapanga & Nass. In addition, to serious tactical disagreements with the governor on how to win his state budget priorities the public supports by huge margins, like properly funding public schools, expanding BadgerCare, funding child care and closing Green Bay, their is now a serious discussion about whether it is time for Governor Evers to lead by a timely passing of the torch to the next generation of Democratic leaders and not running for Governor in 2026. We welcome award winning Milwaukee area journalist, Dan Shafer, founder of The Recombobulation Area and now part of the Civic Media network, who makes the case that it's time to pass the Torch and Tony Evers should not run for a third term as governor. He argues Wisconsin's governor needs to do what so many other Democrats have failed to do and step aside when the time is right. We close the show with Citizen Action board member, Steven Webb, who is the executive director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin, to discuss the devastating cuts to healthcare in the federal Budget bills that will damage Planned Parenthood's ability to provide vital frontline healthcare to Wisconsinites. Steve tells us how you can also get involved in organizing with PPAWI to fight back.

America's Budget Battle EXPOSES a Harsh Truth | Karel Cast 25-67

County Councilman Kurt McGahee joins The Tara Show to push back against claims that he's cutting school funding in Greenville County. In this detailed interview, McGahee breaks down the proposed $10 million reallocation to infrastructure, arguing it amounts to just 1% of the district's total budget—and won't affect teacher pay or student resources. With the school district sitting on over $250 million in reserves and reporting a $78 million surplus last year, McGahee says it's time to prioritize crumbling roads without sacrificing education. He also addresses public backlash, school policies, and why safe infrastructure is critical for students and families alike.

Former State Senators Amy Koch and Jeff Hayden talk about the implications of Rep. Angie Craig announcing her run for the senate as well as the likelihood of a special session as lawmakers work to get a budget done.

The fight for America's fiscal stability is intensifying as Congress grapples with massive deficits and ballooning budgets. Lindsey Graham's budget proposal, aiming for minimal cuts, has sparked a showdown, while Elon Musk and Donald Trump advocate for radical fiscal reforms to avoid bankruptcy. With the middle class at risk and essential programs under threat, where will America go from here?

CannCon and Ashe in America break down the GOP's razor-thin budget win, where House Republicans barely passed Trump's $4.5 trillion tax cut and $2 trillion spending cuts.
