00:00Amid this feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, should Musk be called before a House

00:08committee and testify? I haven't had conversations with members of the relevant committees,

00:15which presumably could include budget or ways and means or judiciary or oversight.

00:24And until I have those conversations, I don't think there's much more to add. Right now,

00:30we're focused on killing the bill. The GOP tax scam hurts everyday Americans and rewards

00:43billionaires. That's not what we should be doing at this moment in time in the United States of

00:49America. We should be building an affordable economy that lowers costs for hardworking

00:55American taxpayers. The GOP tax scam, this one big, ugly bill, does the exact opposite.

01:03It will raise costs and increase the financial burden on hardworking American taxpayers.

01:11That's what we're focused on as House Democrats and in support of the efforts

01:17of Senate Democrats to stop the one big, ugly bill from ever becoming law. Thanks.
