The GOP is scrambling to get their party to fall into line and receive enough votes to pass their "big, beautiful bill." NBC News' Julie Tsirkin reports more. New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters joins Chris Jansing to break down how Elon Musk continues to take pages out of Trump's playbook of "heckling and throwing bombs from the sidelines."

Republicans are citing Musk's concerns to argue that the bill could be detrimental to the economy and innovation, using his influence to bolster their opposition to the legislation. This strategic move aims to capitalize on Musk's reputation and appeal to voters who respect his business acumen and technological insights.
