00:37before the Israel-Iran conflict began.

00:56event in the Easter Room to rally Republicans to get the One Big Beautiful bill across the
01:02finish line.

01:06massively benefit from the common sense policies and provisions within this bill.
01:12This is the largest tax cut for working in middle-class Americans in history, and it's
01:16going to put more money into the pockets of hardworking Americans.
01:21Studies will see an average increase in take-home pay of more than $10,000 per year.
01:27Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 per year will see a 15% tax cut.
01:33Overtime and tipped workers will save thousands of dollars annually.
01:37And our amazing seniors will receive historic financial relief by reducing the tax burden on
01:42their Social Security benefits.
01:44Simply put, this bill is going to unlock the golden age of America.
01:50And we look forward to continuing to work with the Senate and the House to see this bill
01:54on the President's desk for signature by Independence Day.
