BBB FTW: What the Big Beautiful Bill Gets Right

The Alex Marlow Show

In this episode, Alex dives into a packed news day full of political victories, cultural observations, and sharp commentary. Alex opens with a reflection on the show’s success and the effectiveness of conservative media platforms like Breitbart, especially as their reach expands into traditionally left-leaning spaces.

The episode covers several major stories, starting with the breaking news that Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found not guilty on key federal charges, leading Alex to riff on music, morality, and cultural decline. From there, he shifts into a takedown of CBS and the media’s role in election interference, highlighting the network’s $16 million settlement with Trump over manipulated footage of Kamala Harris.

Alex then details the progress and politics of the “big, beautiful bill” moving through Congress—a major piece of Trump-backed legislation that could reshape energy, immigration enforcement, and tax policy. He lays out its key provisions and calls it a clear win for conservatives, urging listeners not to let perfection become the enemy of progress.

The episode also features commentary on cultural oddities like Rep. Nancy Mace’s social media stunts, the University of Pennsylvania’s apology for allowing trans swimmer Lia Thomas to compete, and Stanford Medicine ending sex change surgeries for minors.

Alex closes by celebrating Trump’s latest wins—like “Alligator Alcatraz” and a diplomatic breakthrough in Africa—as more signs of a powerful momentum shift. He draws a stark contrast between Trump’s strong, direct leadership and the radical proposals of left-wing figures like Zoran Mamdani, whom he mockingly dubs a “cuddly communist.”
