Transcript
00:00What's what's the new journalist's name? Kate. Welcome, Kate. Yeah, see. Well, good morning, everybody. So glad to have you here today. This weekend marked six months since President Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office. And boy, has it been historic.
00:21Together, we have secured the border, restored peace through strength, squashed inflation, supercharged our economy and delivered on the one big, beautiful bill. America is safe, prosperous and great again. But Democrats continue their dangerous rhetoric that is endangering law enforcement agents.
00:47I mean, an officer gets shot by an illegal alien in New York. Do you think that's a coincidence? Because I don't. It's their policies. It's their rhetoric. You know, my question is, did their policies lead to this rhetoric and all this rhetoric lead to this attack?
01:05Ask yourself that. I'll let you be the judge of that. Do you think their policies and their rhetoric hurt law enforcement agents or help them? Just ponder on that for a minute.
01:19This week, House Republicans will return home for our annual work piece, work period. And during this work period, we are going to work with our members to take our message coast to coast.
01:33And we're going to make sure that we have the Democrats own their message because we all know they like to weasel out of their message.
01:41And we're going to take our message from Long Island to the suburbs of Los Angeles. The American people will hear how the one big, beautiful bill will benefit them.
01:52We are going to correct the truth with the other half of the truth because all Democrats have right now is fear mongering.
01:59They have no plan, no vision and no leader. I'm planning to be in my district this week to speak with Michiganders.
02:05But I'm also going to be traveling with with some of our frontline members from Pennsylvania to New Jersey.
02:11We will visit actual manufacturing facilities where the workers, the American taxpayer, will benefit from the one big, beautiful bill.
02:21And we'll be having conversations with that. I'm sure along the way we're going to stop at a few restaurants, maybe get some takeout where their staff or delivery drivers will enjoy the benefits of no tax on tips.
02:34The bottom line is this. The impact of the one big, beautiful bill will be felt positively everywhere and working families.
02:45Their bottom lines will be increased. Imagine how Democrat district visits are going to go.
02:53That's if they stay in their own districts. But remind the Democrats, the Democrats voted against securing the border.
02:59Remember that? They said Biden said we can't do we can't do that.
03:05No, we just needed a president who actually could do that. So remind the Democrats, remind the Democrats that it's the Republicans who are actually unleashing American energy.
03:15You know, putting money back into our economy, making us energy independent again, expanding the child credit, tax credit.
03:27And you hear all that fear mongering about all the rural hospitals are going to shut down.
03:33We actually created a rural hospital fund that can actually the monies go to these hospitals.
03:39They don't have all this bureaucracy in between. Wow. That's a solution for a change.
03:44But you won't hear the Democrats talk about that. Generational investments.
03:48We made generational investments in our national security. No tax on overtime.
03:52No tax on tips. Every single Democrat voted to kill millions of jobs.
04:00Give federal benefits to those who never should receive those benefits before.
04:05Remember, the Democrats are making sure that Medicaid is not there for the people who need it most by allowing the waste, the fraud, the abuse to actually continue and to give it to illegals over Americans who need it more than anything.
04:21And take those thousand dollars of paychecks from hardworking Americans.
04:25Remember, they increased.
04:27They voted to increase every single working family's tax rate rate.
04:31I'm so sick and tired of hearing, oh, my gosh, it's a tax rate for tax rate for the rich.
04:36No, it's not. Think about this. This is a fact.
04:39And I'm curious if you've asked any of the Democrats this.
04:42They voted to raise a taxpayer's income who makes forty eight thousand dollars, which would be in the twelve percent tax bracket.
04:51They voted to raise the tax bracket from twelve percent to twenty twenty five percent on forty.
04:58If you make forty eight thousand dollars, I don't know any of you think forty eight thousand dollars is that a tax break for the rich, a tax incentive for the rich.
05:05No, you're taking money from working class families.
05:09Make the Democrats own.
05:11Ask them why they voted for the biggest tax increase in history.
05:15Ask them why.
05:16I don't think these meetings are going to go very well.
05:18Now, I hope the Democrats are home and the local press will hold them accountable and to explain why they voted to kill American jobs,
05:28especially when they're already somebody who voted no.
05:31But notice every Democrat takes the dough.
05:33It's ridiculous, ridiculous.
05:36And we will continue to bring these fallacies to life.
05:40We will continue to correct the truth with the other half of the truth.
05:44And the fear mongering from the Democrats has got to stop.
05:48Now to talk about this and the importance of the one big, beautiful bill for people in her district with me is Congresswoman Jen Kiggins.
