00:00There's a slew of polling about this bill, as I'm sure you know.

00:03Pew, Kaiser, Quinnipiac, Washington Post, Fox, all of it suggesting that this legislation right here is not popular with the American people.

00:13Senator Tillis reportedly warned Republicans that you could face major losses in the midterm elections because of what's in this bill.

00:21He compared it to the backlash Democrats faced after passing Obamacare.

00:25And former first buddy Elon Musk called this bill, quote, political suicide for the Republican Party.

00:31If Republicans lose the House or the Senate or both over this legislation, will it be worth it?

00:36Look, the reforms in this bill are necessary.

00:40And we're going to deliver actual solutions to the American people.

00:44And I am excited about that.

00:46And I think when the American people actually get to see this in fruition, they absolutely are going to be, too.

00:51I mean, you think about the things we're doing, like securing the border, not just now.

00:54We won't always have a President Trump who immediately came in and got border crossings down to basically zero.

01:01I mean, if you think about where we are there versus the influx under the Biden administration.

01:04If you think about where we've been in our national defense, not only has President Trump reinvigorated our armed services.

01:12We've seen recruiting rates go through the roof.

01:14You look at what he's been able to achieve just in the last two weeks.

01:18People know that we need to make sure our warfighters are the best trained, equipped and ready across the planet.

01:21This bill does that.

01:23This bill does no tax on tips.

01:25It does, you know, no tax on overtimes.

01:28Real hardworking Americans are going to see results of this.

01:30And one thing that we haven't talked enough about is child care.

01:33The child care provisions in this piece of legislation, I was the tip of the spear on that.

01:37We have actually not updated those since 19, I think it's 86, with regards to D-CAP.

01:43So under Reagan, then you move forward when it comes to the other two provisions of child care, the tax structure.

01:49We haven't done that since 2001.

01:51Look, the affordability and accessibility of child care is challenging for parents and hardworking Americans across the board.

01:58Because of this piece of legislation, they're going to be able to keep more of their hard-earned Monday,

02:01and businesses, large and small, are going to be empowered to be a part of the solution.

02:05So these are real tangible things that Americans are going to see,

02:08and they're going to like what they see when this goes into effect.
