00:00People are catching up to the president on that.

00:02Brian, go ahead.

00:03Has the president shared his political thoughts on privatizing the TSA?

00:08Privatizing the TSA.

00:10I haven't heard him talk about that, but perhaps it would be a good idea.

00:13I think we can all agree there's a little bit of bureaucracy when you move through an airport.

00:17But I'll get with the president, or perhaps you can ask him yourself next time, Brian.

00:21Go ahead.

00:22The Congressional Budget Office released updated estimates today about the big, beautiful bill now that it's locked.

00:28They estimate that the deficit will grow by $3.4 trillion by 2034,

00:32and that 10 million people will lose health coverage by 2034.

00:36I know you guys are critical in the CBO.

00:38More broadly speaking, is there any concern from the administration that this bill, now that it's locked,

00:43will increase the deficit in any way or remove anyone from health insurance that they have legal citizens?

00:49No. Look, this bill was a great bill for the American people.

00:52It was the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class families in our nation's history.

00:57And the president wants to see this country get our fiscal house in order.

01:00That's why this was a fiscally responsible bill,

01:04one of the most fiscally conservative pieces of legislation for its size that has ever crossed through Capitol Hill.

01:10And the president wants to cut our deficit.

01:12That's why he's effectively using tariffs to bring more revenue into the United States

01:16to ultimately pay down our debt that has been created by presidents on both sides of the aisles for many, many decades.
