J.D. Vance Shares the Big Beautiful Bill’s Secrets

June 19, 2025

Vice President J.D. Vance shared the Big Beautiful Bill’s Secrets out loud. You should hear this. 

I rarely tell you about my podcast. But this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka was practically made for the Agenda Setters by Downsize DC community.

I’m not exaggerating, even a little!

You are already familiar with the Read the Bills Act and the One Subject at a Time Act. In this episode, we break down why those reforms are more urgent than ever.

The trigger? The Vice President shared…

The Big Beautiful Bill’s Secrets

In a recent podcast, Vice President J.D. Vance said the quiet part out loud: Congress skips key procedures because slowing down would stop them from “keeping promises.”

That’s why they bypass debate, mash everything into an unreadable 1,100+ page monstrosity, and dare anyone to vote no.

In other words, the politicians know they’re breaking the process. Their actions are on purpose.

This episode explains:

  • How unread bills lead to hidden law
  • Why members of Congress vote for things they didn’t know were in the bill (and why many of them agree that bills should be limited to One Subject)
  • What Theo Von asked that stunned JD Vance
  • The enforcement mechanism that gives YOU the power to challenge unread laws
  • And more!

Listen now and share this with someone who says, “That’s just how Congress works.”
