Transcript
00:01Thank you, Chairman Comer, and thank you for all your work on this issue.
00:06With that, I want to welcome you all back to a safe D.C.
00:13I know that sounds crazy, but rather than applauding President Trump's decisive action
00:19to actually restore law and order and reduce crime in America,
00:23Democrats have defended gang members, thieves, and lawbreakers.
00:28Wait, can you guys believe that? That sounds odd, right?
00:31Right? Sounds pretty common, unfortunately.
00:34Nevertheless, Republicans remain focused on delivering not only the physical safety,
00:41but President Trump has championed, but the financial security for every single working America.
00:51Because President Trump believes in a safe America.
00:54And safe America means safe in the streets, but it also means safe and security financially and economically.
01:03That's why we've spent the last month working with actual Americans in our district.
01:09And I personally want to spoke with workers at manufacturing facilities in Michigan,
01:15and then we went on the road in New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
01:17These folks work hard, and many of these folks work more than 40 hours a week.
01:24So let me tell you that it was an honor to let them know that the extra hours they put in will actually not be taxed.
01:33And of course, I wasn't the only one standing with the American workers in the past month.
01:38House Republicans showed up in coffee shops, small businesses, schools, gas stations, all across America.
01:44And if you own or work at a small business, Congressman Miller-Meeks was out there talking about the tax cuts heading their way.
01:53And if you work in energy, Congresswoman Fedorchak was out there talking about the ways that this bill will help secure your job
02:01and actually reduce gas prices.
02:04I think we had Labor Day just recently, right?
02:06We just came back from Labor Day.
02:08Gas prices were the lowest they've been in five years.
02:12What a success that is.
02:14And if you work in health care, Congressman Barrett was on the ground hosting a town hall
02:19about what this bill does to actually improve health care in rural areas.
02:25And if you've worked your whole entire life, Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart sat down with seniors
02:32about the historic tax cuts they will receive because of the Working Families Tax Cut Bill.
02:39Wherever you work, the bottom line remains the same.
02:45Republicans are fighting for every single American worker.
02:51And we are proud of the results that we have delivered.
02:55Republicans voted to keep money in Americans' pockets, while the Democrats voted to take money from Americans' pockets.
03:06Republicans delivered no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security.
03:13Well, every single Democrat, let me say that again, every single Democrat voted to increase your taxes by at least $1,700 for the average middle class family.
03:27Every single Democrat voted to raise taxes by at least $1,700.
03:33Please cover that.
03:36Republicans want to keep more money in your pocket.
03:39Democrats think that you should pay more money to the government because the government just runs so doggone efficiently, right?
03:46House Republicans are doing what is needed to be done to deliver for the American worker.
03:53And with that, I want to turn it over to someone who has actually worked hard for his constituents, Congressman David Taylor of the great state of Ohio.
04:04That paints me a state of Ohio.
