[00:00:00] Here with reaction in Washington, we [00:00:02] have Wyoming Senator John Baraso, [00:00:04] Alabama Senator Katie Britt, South [00:00:06] Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. Uh [00:00:09] Senator Baraso, you you were saying it [00:00:11] during the speech. That is well, first [00:00:13] of all, what a difference a year makes. [00:00:15] Uh a guy by the name of Joe Biden could [00:00:17] not give that speech with the energy and [00:00:19] the force of Donald Trump. You you [00:00:22] called it political shock and awe. And [00:00:25] that's what we've had for a year, shock [00:00:26] and awe, with the president focused on [00:00:28] the economy, focused on putting more [00:00:30] people, more money in people's pockets, [00:00:32] and as you heard him tonight, focused on [00:00:34] affordability. We have reversed the [00:00:36] direction of this country dramatically. [00:00:38] On the border, the border is now secure. [00:00:40] On energy, we're now energy dominant. On [00:00:44] taxes, we prevented a $4 trillion tax [00:00:46] increase that the Democrats were [00:00:47] promoting. And on national security, it [00:00:50] is now peace through strength. He [00:00:52] inherited and we inherited as [00:00:53] Republicans a country that was weaker, [00:00:56] poorer, less safe. And we said we need [00:00:58] to provide safety and prosperity. We've [00:01:01] done that. The president talked about [00:01:03] this major piece of legislation that we [00:01:05] passed, the working families tax cuts. [00:01:07] There are things in that for everyone. [00:01:09] Tax cuts as well. No tax on tips, no tax [00:01:12] on social security, no tax on overtime. [00:01:15] These things are all going to continue [00:01:16] to put more money in people's pockets [00:01:18] and they really go into place in 2026. [00:01:21] So next year is going to be better than [00:01:23] this year. [00:01:23] >> I Senator Brit, I'd look at this and and [00:01:26] break it into categories. [00:01:27] >> What the mess he was left, [00:01:30] >> all that he's done, the [clears throat] [00:01:31] difference in comparing and contrasting, [00:01:33] I thought they very effectively used [00:01:35] these charts tonight. Absolutely. [00:01:36] >> Um and I I think they [clears throat] [00:01:38] speak loudly to the American people [00:01:40] because there's always an impatience, [00:01:42] but his entire tax plan has not even [00:01:44] gone into effect. [00:01:45] >> Hasn't even gone into effect yet. That's [00:01:46] exactly right. And you look at the [00:01:47] contrast. I mean, that was outstanding. [00:01:49] And you said it during the break. We [00:01:51] talked about it. Uh President Oten uh [00:01:54] that just left office could have never [00:01:56] done that. He very clearly said to the [00:01:58] American people, I see you and look at [00:02:01] the things that we've done. What he has [00:02:02] accomplished in just these first 10 11 [00:02:05] months is remarkable. But I think more [00:02:08] is yet to come. Look, as a parent, I [00:02:10] think about this. He secured our border. [00:02:13] He did it. We passed the Lake and Riley [00:02:15] Act. It's actually the first immigration [00:02:17] enforcement law that we've passed in [00:02:18] like 30 years. In addition to that, he [00:02:21] has taken on fentanyl. How many kids are [00:02:24] going to have to die before we actually [00:02:26] take it serious? President Trump said, [00:02:27] "I'm not talking about it. I am doing [00:02:29] something about it." We've seen it from [00:02:31] the border to what he's done with [00:02:32] Venezuela. And and then you look at no [00:02:35] men in women's sports. Look, I have a [00:02:37] daughter who plays volleyball, who plays [00:02:39] basketball. I want her to have a fair [00:02:41] opportunity to compete on that court. [00:02:44] And President Trump gave her that. You [00:02:47] want them to feel safe in the locker [00:02:48] room and you want them to have [00:02:49] opportunity in in the arena. And he [00:02:52] changed the dynamic on that. Look, we [00:02:54] could go on and on. He talked about no [00:02:56] indoctrination. We have said we want our [00:02:58] kids to be educated, not indoctrinated. [00:03:01] He has said our Department of Education [00:03:02] is failing our next generation. And he's [00:03:05] not just going to talk about it, he's [00:03:07] going to do something. And tonight he [00:03:09] laid out for the American people not [00:03:11] only what he has done, but he has said [00:03:12] there is more to come. It's things like [00:03:14] the Trump accounts. Sean, look, as a new [00:03:17] parent, if your child is born during the [00:03:19] Trump administration, you're going to [00:03:20] get $1,000 into this account. We're [00:03:23] already seeing philanthropists step up. [00:03:25] We're already seeing um different [00:03:27] businesses saying, "I'm going to do this [00:03:29] for my employees." So, he is creating [00:03:31] this public private partnership that [00:03:33] ultimately is going to allow everyday [00:03:35] Americans to achieve the American dream. [00:03:37] and having a piece of that and having a [00:03:39] piece of hope again because after the [00:03:42] Biden administration with wide open [00:03:43] borders with total chaos abroad, total [00:03:46] chaos and with parents who felt like um [00:03:50] the government was in their way. Uh [00:03:52] President Trump has changed the dynamic [00:03:54] and it's a good day for our country and [00:03:56] more to come. [00:03:57] >> Senator Graham, I mean he touched on [00:03:59] everything. He talked about issues [00:04:01] abroad about his all the time, energy, [00:04:04] resources. he the [clears throat] [00:04:05] personal investment he has had in moral [00:04:08] conflicts to bring peace in the Middle [00:04:09] East but also around the globe peace in [00:04:12] Europe he's still working on that deal [00:04:14] how he inherited a mess all the changes [00:04:17] he's put in place close the borders uh [00:04:20] bringing back restoring law and order [00:04:22] this city is you know exhibit A right [00:04:24] lower taxes largest tax cut in American [00:04:26] history dominant policies which I think [00:04:29] everybody will be impacted by again no [00:04:32] tax tips overtime social security. [00:04:35] There's a lot in this speech. Well, the [00:04:38] headline for me is when he says the best [00:04:40] is yet to come, he made a case to make [00:04:43] that believable. The trend lines are all [00:04:46] going in the right direction. Uh in [00:04:48] 2022, [00:04:50] gas was almost $5 per gallon in December [00:04:53] this year. It's the lowest it's been [00:04:56] since 2021. The trend lines are going in [00:04:59] the right direction in terms of gas [00:05:01] prices, in terms of energy. Biden [00:05:04] cancelled the XL pipeline. [00:05:06] He stopped new leases to find [00:05:08] Americanowned oil and gas. Trump has [00:05:11] reversed that. In July of this year, the [00:05:14] most oil produced in a day in America. [00:05:17] We hit that number in July of 2025. A [00:05:20] 25% increase of exporting natural gas, [00:05:23] which is good for domestic markets here. [00:05:26] So the bottom line is these charts tell [00:05:29] you that the trend lines on energy, on [00:05:32] housing cost are going in the right [00:05:35] direction. And if we stay with these [00:05:37] policies, we do another reconciliation [00:05:39] bill, be patient, help is on the way. [00:05:44] Simple explanation of housing. If 12 [00:05:46] million people come into your country [00:05:48] legally in a four-year period and [00:05:51] they're not sleeping in the streets, [00:05:53] they're staying in hotels, they're [00:05:55] staying in apartments paid for by your [00:05:57] government, and the Biden administration [00:06:00] won't let you build new houses because [00:06:02] you can't cut down a tree, then housing [00:06:04] prices are going to go up. What is Trump [00:06:06] doing different than Biden? He's kicking [00:06:08] people out and he's unleashing the [00:06:11] ability to build a house in America. So, [00:06:13] mortgage rates are coming down. Housing [00:06:16] supply is going to go up. Gas production [00:06:18] is at an all-time high. So, the trend [00:06:21] lines are real. Mr. President, you just [00:06:23] did not say the best is yet to come. You [00:06:26] prove to the American people that when [00:06:29] it comes to their prosperity and [00:06:30] security, by the this time next year, [00:06:33] you'll see a major difference. When [00:06:35] these tax cuts go into effect, when [00:06:37] energy dominant policies drive the [00:06:40] lifeblood of the world's economy down [00:06:41] even further, when the trillions in [00:06:44] investment come into manufacturing with [00:06:47] 100% depreciation in year one, uh where [00:06:50] are we going to be at the end of the [00:06:51] second quarter next year? Because if if [00:06:54] Democrats want to talk about [00:06:55] affordability, I would imagine they [00:06:57] might be eating a lot of those words. [00:06:58] Well, I think they will. And it it's so [00:07:00] interesting watching the president [00:07:01] because he's so good. We didn't even get [00:07:03] to the fact that we stopped a lot of bad [00:07:05] things that the Biden administration had [00:07:06] been doing. The Biden administration [00:07:09] wanted all of us to be force-fed [00:07:10] electric vehicles. We reversed that. [00:07:13] They wanted to eliminate the internal [00:07:15] combustion engine. So, you know, what [00:07:17] we're doing is producing more gas, oil, [00:07:19] coal, and energy. The other thing we [00:07:21] didn't talk about yet are these warrior [00:07:22] dividends. I was overseas at Rammstein [00:07:25] Air Force Base for Thanksgiving. I go [00:07:27] every year to visit our overseas Wyoming [00:07:29] troops for Thanksgiving. This is going [00:07:31] to go over very well with the 1.4 [00:07:33] million men and women in uniform in [00:07:35] thanks what $1,776 [00:07:38] for 17750,000 [00:07:41] troops. We'll get that. Uh [00:07:43] >> look, we're putting more money back in [00:07:45] Americans pockets as a result of [00:07:47] President Trump's leadership. We're [00:07:48] going to see it on everything. The no [00:07:49] tax on tips and tax on overtimes, but [00:07:51] even in child care. This is something [00:07:53] Democrats have talked about for years, [00:07:54] Sean. And President Trump has led the [00:07:57] way, allowing parents to keep more of [00:07:58] their hard-earned money and actually [00:08:00] tackling the affordability and [00:08:01] accessibility of child care. So, there [00:08:03] are so many things that we have done [00:08:05] that people haven't actually gotten to [00:08:08] reap the benefits of yet, and they will [00:08:10] next year. When that happens, I think [00:08:12] the economy, it's it's going to be good [00:08:13] stuff. [00:08:14] >> Senator Graham, we're going to give you [00:08:15] the last word, but Poly Market, by the [00:08:16] way, they're running uh a a poll right [00:08:19] now. They have odds on whether or not [00:08:21] you're going to say the word BS the way [00:08:23] you did the other night. [laughter] I [00:08:24] want to get in on that. This is [00:08:26] >> I want to get in on that. [00:08:27] >> Be a G-rated virgin. I feel good. I'm [00:08:30] happy I don't cuss. And let me what I'm [00:08:32] happy about. If you want to bring health [00:08:33] care costs down, listen to President [00:08:35] Trump and follow his lead. All the money [00:08:38] under Obamacare goes to health care [00:08:40] insurance companies. President Trump [00:08:42] wants to take some of that money and [00:08:44] give it to you so you can shop for [00:08:46] better health care. That will lower [00:08:48] health care. Monopolies are bad. [00:08:50] >> Wait a minute. The Affordable Care Act [00:08:52] needs permanent subsidies because it's [00:08:54] not so affordable. Millions lost to [00:08:57] doctor's plans. [00:08:58] >> The best thing that ever happened to [00:08:59] healthc care insurance company is the [00:09:01] worst thing that ever happened to a [00:09:03] consumer. [00:09:04] >> Uh, I thank you all. Senator Baraso, [00:09:06] Senator Britt, Senator Graham. Thank you [00:09:08] all.
