00:00as recent as this weekend. Meanwhile, under President Trump's leadership,

00:04Republicans are fighting tirelessly for everyday middle-class working Americans who

00:08re-elected this president and were carrying out a revolution of common sense. And all of that

00:13is packed into this one big, beautiful bill. It delivers the largest middle and working-class

00:18tax cuts in U.S. history. It keeps America safe by funding the largest ever one-time investment

00:25in border security. It's enough to reverse the Biden border invasion. And every single

00:31Democrat is against that, against securing our border and deporting millions of criminal

00:35illegal aliens. The one big, beautiful bill also strengthens and protects Medicaid benefits,

00:40despite what Democrats are saying, for eligible American citizens who rely on it, like pregnant

00:46women, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, by eliminating waste, fraud,

00:51and abuse that threaten to destroy this program that was intended for the most vulnerable

00:55in our society. And every single Democrat in Congress is against rooting out that waste,

01:01fraud, and abuse in blocking the 1.4 million illegal aliens who are currently and properly

01:07receiving these benefits that should be going to American taxpaying citizens. The Democrats in

01:12Congress are more concerned with defending illegal aliens than they are hardworking Americans.

01:17And the big, beautiful bill also revitalizes our military and enhances our defense capabilities,

01:23protects our country from emerging new threats by funding a cutting-edge missile defense system

01:29called the Golden Dome. And as we all know, the one big, beautiful bill makes the Trump tax cuts

01:35permanent. The White House and the President are adamant that this bill is passed and that this bill

01:40makes its way to his desk. Republicans need to stay tough and unified during the home stretch,

01:46and we are counting on them to get the job done. So with that, we will take up questions. John
