00:00Yeah, Mr. President, Elon Musk in a television interview criticized the one big, beautiful bill
00:06saying he was disappointed it didn't cut enough, essentially, that undercut the Doge efforts.
00:10What's your reaction to that? Well, reactions, a lot of things. Number one, we have to get a lot
00:15of votes. We can't be cutting, you know, we need, we need to get a lot of support and we have a lot
00:22of support. We had to get it through the House. The House was, we have no Democrats, you know,
00:27if it's up to the Democrats, they'll take the 65 percent increase. You know, if that doesn't get
00:31approved, this country is going to have a 65 percent increase in taxes and lots of other problems,
00:37big problems, almost bigger than that. But we'll have a 65 percent increase as opposed to the largest
00:44tax cut in the history of our country. We will be negotiating that bill and I'm not happy about
00:51certain aspects of it, but I'm thrilled by other aspects of it. That's the way they go. It's very
00:56big. It's the big, beautiful bill. But the beautiful is because of all of the things we
01:00have. The biggest thing being, I would say, the the level of tax cutting that we're going to be
01:08doing. We're going to make people really be able to. We'll have one of the one of the lowest tax rate
01:12we've ever had in the history of our country and tremendous amounts of benefit are going to the
01:17middle income people of our country, low and middle income people of our country. So we're going to see
01:23what happens because the Senate, as you know, is negotiating with us and they have to then go
01:28back to the House and, you know, it's got a way to go. But I have to say Speaker Johnson and Thune
01:35has done an incredible job. John Thune has done a fantastic leader. Thune.
