About this episode
What damage could Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ do? Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers joins Preet to discuss the stakes of the spending bill, America’s weakening position in the global economy, and how national debt impacts everyday people. Plus, having served as Harvard University’s president in the early 2000s, Summers speaks on Trump’s “tyrannical” attacks on the institution.
Then, Preet answers questions about the Kilmar Abrego-Garcia criminal charges and President Trump's new travel ban.
