00:00Well, good afternoon, everybody. It is noon, right?

00:08Listen, six months ago to the day, I spoke on the House floor about my optimism for America's future.

00:18I was optimistic because the American people gave Republicans a historic opportunity,

00:25an opportunity to enact the largest tax cut in American history,

00:32to finally secure our borders and unleash American energy,

00:38an opportunity to put America first again.

00:47Well, I am proud to say, House Republicans, we delivered.

00:55And thanks to the work of the House Republican Conference and our president,

01:02President Donald J. Trump, Americans have certainty.

01:07They will keep more money in their pockets and have the safety and security that they deserve.

01:13House Republicans remained unified.

01:18No one thought we could do it. Everybody doubted us, didn't they, Mr. Speaker?

01:22Right? They doubted us.

01:23But here we are again. Mr. Whip, what are we? Six and O?

01:27Yeah, nobody in this room doubted us.

01:28No, nobody here doubted us. Uh-uh.

01:31But we are unified.

01:33We delivered on our promises to the American people.

01:37No taxes on tip.

01:38No taxes on overtime.

01:40Tax relief to seniors.

01:42Enhanced child care tax credits.

01:44Elimination of the death tax.

01:47More ICE agents.

01:49We're finishing the border wall and funding the Golden Dome.

01:55And most...

01:56And for all the fear-mongering that goes out there from the Democrats,

02:04we actually secured Medicaid for those who need it most.

02:09Vulnerable Americans, pregnant women, and the disabled.

02:14Compared to the Democrats, who would rather give Medicaid to illegal aliens and MS-13 members.

02:21Democrats are fear-mongering because they have no vision, no plan, and no leader.

02:27But guess what?

02:28We have a leader, and our leader is President Donald Trump.

02:31And lastly, let's not forget that actual fiscal sanity is being restored.

02:42Because of our work, the one big, beautiful Bill Act is headed to the President's desk for signature.

02:51And today marks the end of the waste, the fraud, and the abuse of American taxpayers' dollars.

02:58It marks the end of higher gas prices, the end of higher energy costs, and higher grocery bills.

03:05And because of the one big, beautiful Bill Act, Joe Biden's border crisis is over.

03:19Listen, I applaud my colleagues who worked tirelessly.

03:23I don't think the Speaker and the Whip and the Leader have slept in days.

03:29But they've worked tirelessly to ensure that we actually delivered on our promises.

03:36And I thank President Trump for his leadership in getting this bill across the finish line.

03:42Without his leadership, none of this would have been possible.

03:45His vision, none of this would have been possible.

03:48But today, we passed actual transformational legislation, legislation that will impact every family.

03:57Tomorrow, we celebrate our nation's independence.

04:01And we set out to spread the message of this historic achievement.

04:06But today, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to celebrate.

04:10President Trump and the American people's agenda has been delivered.
