00:00The Democrats are trying to exploit the infighting in the Republican Party by offering amendments

00:07so that Senate Republicans have to put their views on record.

00:12Are you worried about the damage that this could inflict on the Republican Party by the midterms?

00:19I'm not worried at all, Leanne, because most of what's in the Big Beautiful Bill

00:25are President Trump's signature issues that he campaigned on in the 2024 election.

00:32That's why you have so much of his own personal commitment.

00:35And even Vice President J.D. Vance, who went over to Capitol Hill

00:38to get congressional members in line and in order behind this bill.

00:44And so there's a huge mandate for everything that we're seeing in this,

00:49including enforcement of the Border Patrol, adding ICE agents, staff, the military spending,

00:57which will increase our spending by at least $150 billion, including support for the Golden Dome,

01:03the anti-ballistic missile system that President Trump has been advocating for.

01:08And so there's, you know, tax cuts.

01:10There's a lot in the bill that, again, are President Trump's issues that he campaigned on.

01:15And so I think that there is a lot of support for it.

01:18Certainly there are individual Republicans that have taken issue

01:22with certain individual pieces of the legislation.

01:25But my forecast is that this bill will get through both houses of Congress

01:30and it will wind up on President Trump's desk for his signature.
