00:00Thank you. Thank you. Well, good morning, everybody, and a good morning it is. We just

00:08made history and passed the one big, beautiful bill, despite the Democrats' fear-mongering.

00:16Shocker, we haven't seen that lately, have we? And the hours that they spent stalling

00:21the votes on this entire process. The Democrats tried to derail this bill, and guess what?

00:28It didn't work. They failed. Not only did the Democrats vote against the bill, but they

00:36introduced hundreds of meaningless amendments, spewed misleading talking points, and now they

00:43have nothing to show for it, except voting on the record for the historic tax increase

00:52and to kill jobs of the small and medium-class business owners in America. Frankly, Democrats

01:01voted to put Americans last, and it's a shame. But thank God for House Republicans, and thank

01:09God for our president, Donald J. Trump. His vision, alongside the work of my colleagues, made today

01:17a historic day. Behind me is what you see, a unified Republican conference with phenomenal

01:25leadership. And this Republican conference works as a team. This transformational legislation

01:32will provide safety and security for generations to come. Whether it's at our borders or in our

01:40pocketbooks, Americans will be better off, thanks to the one big, beautiful bill. Our committees

01:47had difficult tasks, and they delivered. And some doubted that this was even possible. But

01:54at the end of the day, we all came together. House Republicans did not miss the moment. And

02:01because of our work, we will put more money in the pockets of hard-working Americans. We will prevent

02:10the next Lincoln Riley or Rachel Morin from being murdered. And we will save another family from the

02:16heartbreak of fentanyl poisoning. And to think, the Democrats voted against all of that. But I am thankful for the

02:27House Republicans. That they stood up for the American people. We put them first. This is what real

02:35leadership looks like. This is what winning looks like. And this is what America looks like under President

02:46Donald Trump and House Republicans' leadership. Safe, secure, and prosperous. And now, I will turn it over to the

02:56Chairman of Transportation and Infrastructure, Mr. Sam Graves.
