00:01
Speaker Johnson, can you stop us earlier today?
00:05
Can you walk us through, have you had a conversation yet with Elon Musk?
00:09
That is the big question of the day.
00:11
We exchanged text messages late yesterday, but haven't spoken to him on the phone.
00:15
And I'm really anxious for all this to resolve so we can get on with getting the one big, beautiful bill passed.
00:20
That's what I'm focused on here. That's what the American people demand and expect of us.
00:24
They gave us a mandate in the election to get it done, so we can't get distracted by Twitter wars.
00:28
We have to get our job done.
00:29
Have you talked to the president about how he's feeling about Musk and what he wants you to do in terms of,
00:35
does he want to repair this relationship?
00:37
Look, I'm not going to speak for either of them.
00:39
I was with the president in the Oval Office yesterday afternoon as some of this unfolded,
00:43
and I can just say he was disappointed.
00:45
I mean, he said that himself, and I was as well.
00:47
But look, I believe in redemption. I hope we can resolve it and get everybody together again.
00:50
That's really important for all of us.
00:52
Is this a big problem for getting the bill back through the Senate, back through the House?
00:56
This is not a problem for getting the bill done.
00:58
The House and Senate Republicans here know that we have a job to do, and we're going to do our job.
01:02
And we produced a very, very good product.
01:04
It is not perfect because there's no such thing as perfect legislation.
01:08
But we're really proud of this, and it's going to be jet-fueled to the U.S. economy.
01:11
It's going to make sure our border is secure.
01:12
It's going to make sure we have investments in the military at the same time that we are cutting regulations,
01:17
making things easier for a pro-growth economy for job creators.
01:20
And it's going to make all boats rise.
01:22
This is geared for middle- and lower-income Americans.
01:25
They are going to feel the effects of that almost immediately, and we're excited to get that done.
01:29
And historic tax cuts and historic savings at the same time.
01:33
I mean, we're really proud of this product.
01:34
It took us over a year to develop it, and we're going to get it over the finish line before July 4th.
01:38
We heard any conservatives?
