Transcript

00:00But the biggest victory of all came 10 days ago when I signed the one big, beautiful bill

00:06into law.

00:07Right?

00:14And just as I promised, we did something that was amazing.

00:18You know, we were — everybody was against it.

00:20I wanted it.

00:22I know Scott and Howard like the idea of it, too.

00:24But it was very risky because they've never done anything like it in terms of the size.

00:29It's the biggest bill ever passed, of its kind, ever passed, by far.

00:34And they were going to cut it into two, three, or even as many as seven bills.

00:37And I said, the problem is that in the one big bill, everybody gets something.

00:44When you cut it into sevens, there are four or five of them or three of them, right, Kevin,

00:49that you get nothing.

00:50All they're going to do is fight it.

00:51You'll never get them passed.

00:54And so we went with it.

00:55I was on — I was on a show called Deface the Nation.

00:59Have you heard of it?

01:01They're so bad.

01:04They're so bad.

01:05These people are — they're so average.

01:07But I was on this show Deface the Nation.

01:09Ladies and gentlemen, President Donald J. Trump on Deface the Nation.

01:14No, but they're all so bad.

01:17But we were on the show, and she said to me a question.

01:22She said, what would you call this bill?

01:26Would you want to have it called One Big Beautiful, or would you rather see it?

01:32I said, what I want is one great, big, beautiful bill.

01:37And Speaker Mike Johnson and John Thune, they were watching, and they said, what a great

01:42name for the bill.

01:43We actually ended up calling it that.

01:45We took the great out.

01:46I actually liked it even better.

01:48One great, big, beautiful.

01:50But they said, let's — a little bit of a low key.

01:54But we got to pass.

01:55But we got to pass because there's something for everybody.

01:57And there are things that people don't like, but you need them for the country.

02:00You know, you have to do some things that are great for the country, but they wouldn't

02:04necessarily get the votes.

02:06And we got the votes.

02:07Think of it, not one Democrat vote.

02:11All the goodies that we got, not one Democrat voted in either the Senate or the House.

02:16And we're talking about tax cuts and business.

02:19I mean, so many different things that are so good, right?

02:22Not one Democrat vote.
