This morning, officials were out in force talking about the historic benefits of President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which will deliver unprecedented tax relief, generational welfare reform, and historic spending cuts.
Here’s what you missed:
- Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought: “It is $1.4 trillion in reduced deficits and debt. That’s why this is such a paramount, fiscally responsible bill.” (Watch)
- Director Vought: “The conservatives that have historically used the debt limit to sound the alarm have been pushing for the very reforms that are in this bill, so we believe that it’s important to do it with Republican votes to not have to deal with the Senate filibuster, and we want to get it taken care of so that Chuck Schumer doesn’t have this hanging over the administration and the administration’s agenda over the next several years.” (Watch)
- Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “This bill provides $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings — and when you combine that with the tariff revenue that President Trump’s America First trade agenda is bringing in … with the Council of Economic Adviser’s projected growth of 3%, we’re going to cut the deficit by $8 trillion over the next ten years.” (Watch)
- Speaker Mike Johnson: “What we’re trying to is help hardworking Americans who are trying to provide for their families and make ends meet … This is going to be jet fuel to the U.S. economy. All wages are going to rise. There’s going to be more jobs and economic opportunity for more people. We cannot wait to deliver that.” (Watch)
- National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett: “We put out a report from the Council of Economic Advisers that if the bill doesn’t pass, then they estimate that this would cause a reduction of GDP by 4%, we’d be in a deep recession, we’d lose six or seven million jobs.” (Watch)
- Director Hassett: “The Congressional Budget Office put out a ten-year estimate that says that the tariff revenue that’s already in place right now is going to raise $2.8 trillion over the next ten years. That’s more than their own static estimate for the cost of this entire bill, so that’s deficit reduction right there.” (Watch)
- Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum: “Permanent lower taxes, much lower regulation across the board, it’s pro-energy, it’s pro-seniors, it’s pro-farmers, it’s pro-border security — and it also cuts a bunch of spending. This thing is fantastic. This is Promises made, promises delivered by President Trump.” (Watch)
- Senator Rick Scott: “We’ve got to get this bill passed … We have to stop this gigantic tax increase that Democrats are all for. We’ve got to secure the border. We’ve got to plus up the military.” (Watch)
