00:00:01HE CRITICIZED THE DEMOCRATIC
00:00:02PARTY, CLAIMING IT WAS EMBRACING
00:00:05COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM, AND
00:00:08WARRANTY ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES WHILE URGING VOTERS
00:00:11NOT TO LET THE COMMUNISTS TAKE OVER CONGRESS.
00:00:14HE MADE THESE COMMENTS TO REPORTERS IN ARIZONA WITH THE
00:00:17TREASURY SECRETARY AND ARIZONA
00:00:20REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN JUAN CISCOMANI AFTER TOURING A
00:00:23MANUFACTURING FACILITY AND PROMOTING REPUBLICAN TAX
00:00:27POLICIES.
00:00:52PATIENCE.
00:00:54WE JUST CONCLUDED A ROUNDTABLE
00:00:58WITH PEPSICO AND FRITO-LAY AND MET A LOT OF THE EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING THE GENTLEMAN THAT IS
00:01:02RETIRING AFTER 37 YEARS, WORKING
00:01:06FOR THE COMPANY BEFORE THE SPLINT. AFTER THAT HE SAID HE'S GOING TO GO DRAGRACING.
00:01:11THIS HAS BEEN AN EXCITING DAY IN SO MANY WAYS.
00:01:14I WANT TO START BY THANKING ALL
00:01:16OF YOU FOR BEING HERE, BUT ALSO IT IS AN HONOR TO HOST BOTH
00:01:20SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON AND SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT.
00:01:25I WANT TO THANK HIM
00:01:26FOR TAKING TIME TO MEET WITH US HERE AND THE STAKEHOLDERS.
00:01:31AND I WANT TO
00:01:32MIKE JOHNSON, A LEADER IN THE
00:01:37HOUSE, BUT ALSO A GREAT FRIEND AND AMAZING COLLEAGUE FOR
00:01:41JOINING US IN ARIZONA AND HIS CONTINUED LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT.
00:01:44HAVING OUR NATIONAL LEADERS IN OUR DISTRICT MEANS EVERYTHING,
00:01:48SO THAT WE CAN HEAR FROM THE ADMINISTRATION DIRECTLY ON KEY
00:01:51ISSUES AND ALSO SHARE OUR OWN PRIORITIES.
00:01:56WE ALWAYS SAY MAKING THESE KIND OF VISITS IS NOT JUST SHARING
00:01:58WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON, BUT
00:02:00LEARNING AND WALKING AWAY,
00:02:03KNOWING WE ARE BETTER INFORMED AND BETTER SUITED TO DO OUR JOBS.
00:02:07WE ARE RIGHT HERE AT THE START OF THE CONGRESSIONAL AUGUST WORK
00:02:11PERIOD. THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST.
00:02:14I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE DISTRICT,
00:02:18TUCSON AS WELL.
00:02:20AT EVERY STOP I MAKE, I SPEAK WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE
00:02:24FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. THAT IS ONE THING THAT DEFINES OUR DISTRICT SO WELL.
00:02:29TODAY WE MET WITH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY LEADERS AND EMPLOYEES
00:02:32IN MANUFACTURING, WHICH IS ON THE RISE IN ARIZONA AND ACROSS
00:02:36THE COUNTRY, AND DISCUSSED A TOPIC THAT'S BEEN TOP OF MIND
00:02:40FOR ALL OF US, THE IMPACTS OF THE WORKING FAMILIES TAX CUTS
00:02:43ACT ON EVERYDAY AMERICANS.
00:02:45IT'S THE IMPACT OF THIS ACT THAT
00:02:47WE PASSED ON EVERYDAY AMERICANS
00:02:50LIKE THE ONES WE MET HERE TODAY.
00:02:52THANKS TO THE LEADERSHIP OF SPEAKER JOHNSON AND PRESIDENT
00:02:57TRUMP, THIS BILL IS NOW THE LAW OF THE LAND. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
00:03:01CONSEQUENTIAL PIECES OF LEGISLATION IN OUR LIFETIME,
00:03:05REPRESENTS THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY MADE PERMANENT.
00:03:10LARGEST SHARE OF TAX RELIEF
00:03:11DIRECTLY TO LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME AMERICANS.
00:03:16PROTECTS AND CREATES UP TO 7.2
00:03:18MILLION JOBS, 1.4 MILLION
00:03:21MANUFACTURING JOBS SPECIFICALLY,
00:03:24LIKE THOSE HERE IN CASA GRANDE.
00:03:29WE HEARD FIRSTHAND TODAY WHAT COMPANIES LIKE PEPSICO ARE ABLE TO DO TO INVEST BACK IN THEIR
00:03:33COMPANY BECAUSE OF THESE TAX CUTS. WHEN YOU INVEST BACK IN THE
00:03:37COMPANY, YOU ARE DIRECTLY INVESTING BACK INTO THE PEOPLE IN THE COMPANY.
00:03:42I THINK THE SPEAKER AND SEC.
00:03:47WILL SHARE GREAT STATS AND INFORMATION. I HAVE SIX KIDS.
00:03:51THAT ALLOWS ME TO GO EVERYWHERE,
00:03:52TO BIRTHDAY PARTIES, FOOTBALL
00:03:55GAMES AND SOCCER GAMES AND TALK TO PARENTS AND OTHER COACHES I COACH WITH.
00:04:00I HEARD REPEATEDLY FROM SO MANY THAT THIS YEAR THEY RECEIVED THE
00:04:05LARGEST TAX REFUND THEY HAD IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.
00:04:09ALSO BEEN MOTIVATED TO WORK OVERTIME BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GETTING TEXT.
00:04:13ALSO THE CHILD TAX CREDIT INCREASING PERMANENTLY.
00:04:17THESE ARE REAL THINGS FOR REAL PEOPLE TO PUT REAL MONEY BACK IN THEIR POCKETS.
00:04:23THAT IS THE CORE OF THIS BILL WE PASSED.
00:04:26IT IS ABOUT THE WORKING CLASS LIKE THE ONES WE MET HERE TODAY.
00:04:29FOR THE AVERAGE FAMILY, WE SEE
00:04:30UP TO BETWEEN $7400 TO $10,600
00:04:35MORE IN TAKE-HOME PAY.
00:04:38THIS IS A GAME CHANGER FOR MANY FAMILIES.
00:04:41NO INCOME TAX, UP TO $25,000 IN OVERTIME.
00:04:45THAT IS HUGE FOR DISTRICTS LIKE THIS.
00:04:48NO TAX ON TIPS UP TO $25,000
00:04:53GIVES EVERY NEWBORN IN AMERICA A $1000 HEAD START THROUGH A NEW
00:04:56TRUMP ACCOUNT INVESTMENT FUND. I WISH THIS WAS AROUND WHEN I WAS HAVING KIDS.
00:05:01WE ARE A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT. I WANT FAMILIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.
00:05:04AND BOOST DEDUCTIONS FOR SENIORS
00:05:0865 AND OLDER THAT CAN CLAIM A NEW $6,000 DEDUCTION ON TOP OF
00:05:13THE CENTER DEDUCTION ON THE EXISTING SENIOR DEDUCTION. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD SOME OF THESE
00:05:17THINGS BEFORE, BUT THEY ARE
00:05:21REPEATING. THESE ARE REAL WINDS THAT WILL PUT MORE MONEY BACK IN THE
00:05:26POCKETS OF HARD-WORKING FAMILIES THROUGHOUT ARIZONA AND THE NATION.
00:05:29MORE AMERICANS ARE WORKING RIGHT NOW AT ANY TIME IN OUR NATIONS HISTORY.
00:05:33THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR BEING HERE.
00:05:38THE WORKING FAMILY TAX CUTS ACT IS FOR EVERY ARIZONAN.
00:05:41I APPRECIATE EACH ONE OF YOU
00:05:45BEING HERE. GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU AND I WANT TO THANK SPEAKER JOHNSON
00:05:48AND SECRETARY BESSENT.
00:05:49NOW I WANT YOU TO HEAR FROM THE SPEAKER HIMSELF.
00:05:53>> THANK YOU, CONGRESSMAN CISCOMANI.
00:05:57IT HAS BEEN A GREAT DAY HERE IN
00:05:59ARIZONA, AND WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR
00:06:03THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE TOURED
00:06:05THIS QUINTESSENTIAL ALL-AMERICAN MANUFACTURING FACILITY.
00:06:09PEPSICO AND FRITO-LAY, ONE OF THE GREAT AMERICAN COMPANIES.
00:06:12WE MET WITH THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COMPANY AT ALL LEVELS AND
00:06:16THE REAL AMERICANS WHO ARE EMPLOYED AT THIS PLACE.
00:06:19IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL AS WE WALKED AROUND THAT MANY OF THEM STAY WITH THE COMPANY FOR DECADES.
00:06:26YOU MENTIONED THE GENTLEMAN WE MET TODAY WHO WILL RETIRE
00:06:27THROUGH 37 YEARS WITH THE
00:06:30COMPANY BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE
00:06:33AVERAGE TENURE WAS ABOUT 20 YEARS. IT'S A GREAT AMERICAN STORY.
00:06:37A GREAT CORPORATE CULTURE. WE ARE TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING
00:06:40WE CAN IN THE REPUBLICAN-LED CONGRESS AND TRUMP
00:06:44ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE CONDITIONS RIGHT FOR ALL COMPANIES TO THRIVE IN THIS WAY.
00:06:47WE NEED TO GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE WAY.
00:06:50WE NEED TO CUT REGULATIONS, THE ONES THAT ARE BURDENSOME AND
00:06:54UNNECESSARY. AND WE NEED TO CUT TAXES.
00:06:56WE DID THE WORKING FAMILIES TAX CUT. THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL AS SOME
00:06:59CALL IT, IT WAS INFUSED WITH
00:07:03POLICIES. WE WANT TO MAKE THE CONDITIONS RIGHT FOR COMPANIES LIKE THIS TO
00:07:06CONTINUE TO EXPAND AND GROW TO MAKE THEIR OPERATIONS MORE
00:07:10EFFICIENT, PROVIDE MORE JOBS, BETTER PAID JOBS FOR MORE
00:07:14AMERICANS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE SAW TODAY WITH OUR OWN EYES.
00:07:18THE ABILITY TO WRITE OFF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, WHICH
00:07:23THEY DO A LOT OF AT FRITO-LAY.
00:07:24THE ABILITY TO WRITE OFF CAPITAL
00:07:28INVESTMENTS, THE UPDATING OF THE FACILITIES IS A CRITICAL THING.
00:07:32WE MADE THE TAX CUTS PERMANENT AND THEY ARE TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE.
00:07:36IT HAS BEEN VERY ENCOURAGING TO SEE AT TO SEE HOW WORKING
00:07:40FAMILIES HERE IN ARIZONA ARE BENEFITING DIRECTLY FROM THAT.
00:07:42WE HEARD FROM MANY OF THEM TODAY. WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THIS HAS
00:07:47MEANT FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILY PROVIDING GREATER OPPORTUNITIES FOR HARD-WORKING AMERICANS.
00:07:52FOR CONTEXT, THE PEPSICO FACILITY OPENED HERE IN 1984 DURING THE REAGAN YEARS.
00:07:57IT HAS BEEN ABOUT THAT LONG SINCE CONGRESS IMPLEMENTED ANY
00:08:00PERMANENT REFORMS TO THE TAX CODE. THAT IS UNTIL WE GOT THIS JOB
00:08:04DONE LAST YEAR. WE SIGNED A WORKING FAMILIES TAX
00:08:07CUT WITH THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL
00:08:10CEREMONY CEILING ON THE JULY 4. WE DID IT INTENTIONALLY, AS THE
00:08:14SECRETARY SAID.
00:08:17HE SAID 2025 WAS LIKE SETTING THE TABLE.
00:08:21HE SAID THE FEAST AND THE BANQUET WILL BE 2026.
00:08:26WE PUT THE CONDITIONS IN PLACE TO DO THAT AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:08:30A TRULY REVOLUTIONARY PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT HAS HAD A
00:08:33LANDMARK EFFECT ON THE COUNTRY.
00:08:35IT IS SUPPORTED OVER 7 MILLION
00:08:39JOBS, PROTECTED OVER 540 BILLION DOLLARS IN WORKER REPORT --
00:08:43WAGES AND SUSPECTED $1.1
00:08:46TRILLION IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY.
00:08:50THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING.
00:08:52THIS IS A CRITICAL ELECTION YEAR
00:08:56. HIS RACE IS A KEY ONE AROUND THE COUNTRY.
00:08:58I'M SO EXCITED, THE PEOPLE OF THIS DISTRICT WILL SEND HIM BACK
00:09:02TO CONGRESS AND WE CAN CONTINUE.
00:09:05WE HAVE MORE JOBS COMING HOME,
00:09:07MORE WAGES RISING, MORE WORKING FAMILIES KEEPING WHAT THEY EARN
00:09:11AND THAT IS OUR AFFORDABILITY AGENDA. THERE IS MORE AND MORE OF THAT
00:09:15ON THE WAY. OUR DEMOCRATIC COUNTERPARTS LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS.
00:09:18WE ARE THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY DELIVER IT.
00:09:22WE ARE PUTTING MANUFACTURING, SMALL BUSINESSES AND WORKING FAMILIES IN THE BEST POSSIBLE
00:09:26POSITION TO SUCCEED AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
00:09:29I BELIEVE WE WILL HOLD THE REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THIS
00:09:32MIDTERM AGENDA AND RIGHT NOW IT
00:09:35IS A CONTRAST ELECTION FOR EVERYBODY. THEY'VE GOT TO MAKE A DECISION.
00:09:38TO THEY WANT TO CONTINUE WITH COMMON SENSE, GROWTH AND
00:09:42OPPORTUNITY OR DO THEY WANT TO GO TO THIS DANGEROUS, DEADLY
00:09:45ROAD OF COMMUNISM?
00:09:49THAT IS THE CONTRAST BETWEEN COMMON SENSE AND CRAZY.
00:09:53WE ARE GRATEFUL PEPSICO AND FRITO-LAY HAVE CONTINUED TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE GREAT
00:09:57AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY.
00:09:59IN A WORD AND A PHRASE WE CAN
00:10:02SUMMARIZE THE DAY BY SAYING AMERICA IS BACK AND THERE IS MORE OF THAT TO COME.
00:10:05I'M SO GRATEFUL TO TURN THE PODIUM OVER TO A GENTLEMAN WHO
00:10:09HAS BEEN A GIFT TO AMERICA OVER
00:10:13THIS ADMINISTRATION, SECRETARY SCOTT BESSENT HAS BECOME A
00:10:15LEGEND IN HIS OWN TIME AND HE
00:10:18LEFT A VERY SUCCESSFUL CAREER IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND HE IS
00:10:22FULFILLING CRITICAL RULES FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.
00:10:25HE IS ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE IRS . I'M SURE THERE ARE A COUPLE
00:10:29OTHER TITLES PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
00:10:33GIVEN YOU BUT I'M GRATEFUL. I WILL TELL YOU THIS AND HISTORY
00:10:36WILL RECORD, WE COULD NOT HAVE GONE THE WORKING FAMILIES TAX
00:10:39WERE IT NOT FOR THE ACUMEN OF THIS GREAT LEADER IN THE CABINET
00:10:43WHO HELPED US STEER THAT THROUGH THE PASSAGE AND GET IT TO THE PRESIDENT'S DESK FOR SIGNATURE.
00:10:48ON BEHALF OF ALL THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS AND ALL THE AMERICAN
00:10:52PEOPLE, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
00:10:56>> GOOD AFTERNOON SPEAKER
00:11:00JOHNSON AND -- I'M PLEASED TO BE
00:11:06HERE ALONGSIDE SPEAKER JOHNSON FOLLOWING AN EXCELLENT ROUND TABLE. NO ONE FIGHTS HARDER FOR ARIZONA
00:11:12FAMILIES THAN CONGRESSMAN CISCOMANI WHO DEMONSTRATED
00:11:15DURING OUR DISCUSSION WHY HE WAS
00:11:18NAMED ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE LAWMAKERS IN WASHINGTON.
00:11:22AT MANUFACTURING FACILITIES LIKE THIS, YOU SEE HARD-WORKING
00:11:25ARIZONANS WHO PLUG IN EVERYDAY, PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND
00:11:30STRENGTHEN THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WORKING FAMILY
00:11:33TAX CUTS, WHICH I WILL ADD,
00:11:35EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST, ARE HELPING THE VERY WORKERS
00:11:39KEEP MORE OF WHAT THEY EARN. NEVER FORGET THAT IF DEMOCRATS
00:11:42HAD THEIR WAY, WORKING FAMILIES
00:11:45WOULD ABSORB THE LARGEST TAX
00:11:46HIKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
00:11:50$5 TRILLION. INSTEAD TENS OF MILLIONS OF
00:11:54AMERICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
00:11:56INCLUDING RIGHT HERE IN ARIZONA
00:12:01HAVE CLAIMED ONE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S SIGNATURE NEW TAX CUTS.
00:12:04WORKERS RELY ON TIPS AND ARE KEEPING MORE OF THEIR EARNINGS.
00:12:09NO TAX ON OVERTIME, WHICH I CAN
00:12:11TELL YOU, AS OVERSEEING THE IRS,
00:12:16THAT WAS THE SINGLE MOST CLAIMED DEDUCTION OF THE 44% OF
00:12:21TAXPAYERS CLAIMING ONE OF THE
00:12:25SIGNATURE POLICIES LAST YEAR.
00:12:28EARLIER TODAY AT TREASURY WE ISSUED NEW GUIDANCE ON THE
00:12:31PERMANENT EXPANSION OF THE PAID FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE TAX
00:12:34CREDIT WHICH GIVES BUSINESSES
00:12:36LIKE PEPSI GREATER INCENTIVES TO
00:12:39HELP OUR WORKERS AT PLANTS JUST
00:12:43LIKE THIS ONE CARE FOR A NEW
00:12:45CHILD OR RECOVER FROM A SERIOUS
00:12:49ILLNESS WITHOUT SACRIFICING FINANCIAL SECURITY.
00:12:52OF COURSE THANKS TO TRUMP ACCOUNTS, NEWBORNS OF THOSE
00:12:55FAMILIES WELCOME, WE WILL GET A STAKE IN THE AMERICAN DREAM FROM
00:12:59DAY ONE WITH A 1000 DOLLARS SEED
00:13:03INVESTMENT FROM TREASURY. AND DON'T LISTEN TO THE DEMOCRATS WHEN THEY CLAIM IT'S FOR THE RICH.
00:13:0886% OF THE FAMILIES WHO WILL ENROLL IN THE TRUMP ACCOUNTS OF
00:13:11THE 7 MILLION THUS FAR HAVE
00:13:14INCOMES LESS THAN $200,000. TRUMP ACCOUNTS ARE REACHING THE
00:13:19PEOPLE THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SERVE.
00:13:21THE BEST PART OF MY JOB IS TO
00:13:24GET OUT OF WASHINGTON AND TO SEE
00:13:27HOW THESE POLICIES ARE CREATING CONDITIONS FOR FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES.
00:13:34THE CONGRESSMAN LEFT ME WITH A GREAT PHRASE WHICH YOU WILL SEE
00:13:36ME LEAVE -- USING IN THE NEXT
00:13:39FEW MONTHS, POLICY IS FOR PEOPLE.
00:13:43WE ENACT GOOD POLICIES, AND IF YOU COME AND YOU GET TO VISIT
00:13:46THE PEOPLE WHOSE LIFE IT IMPACTS
00:13:49, NONE OF THIS PROGRESS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT
00:13:53SPEAKER JOHNSON, WHO HELPED CARRY THE LEGISLATION THROUGH
00:13:55CONGRESS, AND BENEFIT THE
00:13:58HARD-WORKING FAMILIES ACROSS ARIZONA. MR. SPEAKER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND LEADERSHIP.
00:14:04AND THE CONGRESSMAN, THANK YOU,
00:14:07WITH A CLOSE MAJORITY WE WERE NEVER IN DOUBT ON YOUR
00:14:12LEADERSHIP. YOU WERE EARLY ON THIS AND IT
00:14:15HAS BEEN A JOY TO DO THIS AND
00:14:17IT'S AN HONOR TO BE HERE TODAY
00:14:21TO SEE HOW GOOD POLICY AND ACTED
00:14:24JUST OVER A YEAR AGO TODAY AND TO SEE HOW IT AFFECTS THE GREAT
00:14:28PEOPLE OF ARIZONA. THANK YOU ALL.
00:14:40>> THE FIRST QUESTION IS FOR SEC. BESSENT.
00:14:46CAN YOU TALK MORE ABOUT THE
00:14:49CONVERSATIONS YOU HAD WITH THESE WORKERS ABOUT SPECIFICALLY THE
00:14:52WORKING FAMILIES TAX CUTS AND ANY OTHER CONCERNS WITH THE
00:14:56ECONOMY ESPECIALLY GOING INTO THE MIDTERM ELECTION? >> I DIDN'T HEAR THE LAST PART.
00:15:03>> ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE ECONOMY GOING INTO THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS?
00:15:05>> WHAT WE HEARD WAS, AS I'VE
00:15:09SAID, THE OVERTIME DEDUCTION, IT
00:15:12HAS BEEN THE MOST POPULAR HERE.
00:15:17LIFE IS GOOD HERE IN CASA GRANDE.
00:15:20THEY WORK AT A GREAT FACILITY.
00:15:22THEY HAVE GREAT CAMARADERIE.
00:15:27FROM WHAT I HEAR, THEY HAVE
00:15:30TAKEN IT UP TO NEXT LEVEL AND
00:15:37ARE AN EXEMPLARY FACILITY FOR THE OTHER 80 MANUFACTURING
00:15:40FACILITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY.
00:15:48>>>> I HAVE A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION FOR SPEAKER JOHNSON AND IF CONGRESSMAN CISCOMANI WANTS TO STEP IN. WE DO KNOW AND SOME POLLS, IT'S
00:15:52SHOWING AS A TOSSUP AND POWER
00:15:56RANKINGS SHOWING ITS LEANING DEMOCRAT.
00:15:57CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE STRATEGY ESPECIALLY WITH THE ECONOMY TO
00:16:01KEEP THIS SEAT DURING THE ELECTION THIS PHONE?
00:16:03>> IT IS A REALITY THAT FOR US
00:16:08TO WIN THE MAJORITY AND GROW THE MAJORITY IN THIS MIDTERM, WE
00:16:11HAVE TO DEFY HISTORY. IT'S ONLY HAPPENED A COUPLE
00:16:13TIMES IN THE LAST 90 YEARS THAT A SITTING PRESIDENT PICKED UP SEATS FOR HIS PARTY.
00:16:18BUT I'M HERE TO TELL YOU REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO WIN THIS ELECTION.
00:16:21WE HAVE A GREAT RECORD, WE HAVE
00:16:24EXTRAORDINARY CANDIDATES AND INCUMBENTS LIKE JUAN CISCOMANI,
00:16:27RATED THE MOST BIPARTISAN, THE
00:16:31MOST CONSENSUSBUILDING MEMBER IN THE BODY. HE IS SERVING THE PEOPLE OF HIS
00:16:35DISTRICT WELL AND THEY WILL REWARD HIM FOR THAT. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS
00:16:39REPUBLICANS HAVE RAISED MORE MONEY THAN DEMOCRATS HAVE. PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE STAKES ARE
00:16:43VERY HIGH AND WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS COMMONSENSE REFORM BRINGING
00:16:47AMERICA BACK, WE HAVE TO CONTINUE IT.
00:16:50WE CANNOT TEAR IT DOWN, TEAR DOWN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE
00:16:53COUNTRY AND GO DOWN THIS RADICAL LEFT ROAD. THAT IS NOT WHO AMERICA IS.
00:16:59WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT
00:17:01THIS, WE WILL HAVE THE FIRST EVER MIDTERM CONVENTION SEPTEMBER 9 AND 10TH.
00:17:06THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL HAVE ONE, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WILL NOT.
00:17:09WE WILL HAVE ALL OF OUR STARS GO
00:17:11ACROSS THE STAGE AND TALK ABOUT THEIR EXTRAORDINARY RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT.
00:17:16THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT
00:17:17WILL BE THERE TO CELEBRATE THE
00:17:20WINDS AND EXPLAIN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT MORE THERE IS FOR US TO DO.
00:17:23WE WILL BE WORKING ON THE COST OF LIVING, UNAFFORDABILITY.
00:17:27WE ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE THE PROVEN AGENDA AND PROVEN RECORD
00:17:31OF DOING THAT. THAT'S WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL REWARD.
00:17:35WE BELIEVE WE WILL WIN IT AND I THINK THIS DISTRICT IN ARIZONA WILL BE A BELLWETHER.
00:17:40>> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.
00:17:44IT'S A GREAT QUESTION TO ADDRESS. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO
00:17:47KNOW THIS DISTRICT IS ROUGHLY
00:17:50ONE THIRD REPUBLICAN, ONE THIRD DEMOCRAT AND ONE THIRD INDEPENDENT. IT BEING A TOSSUP DISTRICT IS
00:17:54NOTHING NEW SINCE THE DISTRICT WAS CREATED.
00:17:57IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE I WON
00:18:01IN 2022 WHEN WE FLIPPED IT FROM DEMOCRAT TO REPUBLICAN.
00:18:05WE DEFENDED THE SEAT AND WON BY
00:18:07A WIDER MARGIN IN 2022 AND PLAN
00:18:12TO CONTINUE THAT IN 2026. WHY ARE WE CONFIDENT ABOUT THE
00:18:15WIN HERE IN 26?
00:18:19IT'S BECAUSE OF THE RESULTS WE HAVE SHOWN. YOU HEAR A LOT OF NOISE AROUND THIS.
00:18:22ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT I
00:18:25GUESS, THE RUMORS ABOUT THIS BILL WE TALKED ABOUT IS THE FACT
00:18:29THAT IT WAS FOR BILLIONAIRES. NOT A LOT OF BILLIONAIRES WORK IN THIS BUILDING.
00:18:34THE ONES THAT ARE MANAGING THE FACTORY HERE, WORKING ON THE
00:18:37LINE AND WORKING OVERTIME, GOOD LUCK TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM
00:18:40THEY ARE BILLIONAIRES OR MILLIONAIRES. THEY ARE HARD-WORKING PEOPLE
00:18:44THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS BILL AND BEING ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TAX DEDUCTIONS
00:18:48FOR OVERTIME OR OUTSIDE OF THIS
00:18:52COMPANY ON TIPS, FOR OUR SENIORS, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE
00:18:56HEAVILY IMPACTED BY WHAT WE'VE DONE AND THEY ARE AT HOME LIVING
00:18:58THEIR LIVES, MAY NOT BE ALL IN
00:19:01THE RALLIES BUT THEY ARE LIVING THEIR LIVES KNOWING WHO IS
00:19:04FIGHTING FOR THEM SO AT THE
00:19:06END OF THE DAY, THE AMERICAN
00:19:12PEOPLE WILL REWARD THAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.
00:19:24>> FIRST QUESTION IS FOR CONGRESSMAN CISCOMANI.
00:19:27MANY OF THE CRITICS OF THE BILL
00:19:32HAVE POINTED TO RECENT RELEASES LIKE FROM CSI THAT INDICATE
00:19:34ARIZONA FAMILIES ARE SPENDING
00:19:38ABOUT $1700 MORE PER MONTH JUST TO GET BY RIGHT NOW AND ALSO
00:19:42THAT THE NON-ENTRY INTO THE
00:19:43EMPLOYMENT FORCES IS APPROACHING
00:19:48A 10 YEAR HIGH. HOW WOULD YOU POINT TO
00:19:50DEVELOPMENTS IN YOUR DISTRICT,
00:19:53NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, NEW
00:19:57JOBS SPECIFICALLY IN DISTRICT SIX THAT WOULD REVERSE THAT?
00:20:09>> SOME OF THE STEPS WE SHARED AN OPENING REMARKS BUT I WILL REPEAT SOME OF THEM. FOR AVERAGE FAMILIES, THEY WILL SEE UP TO $7,400 TO $10,600 MORE
00:20:13IN IN TAKE-HOME PAY. ABOUT $3500 COMING FROM BEING
00:20:17ABLE TO PAY LESS TAXES.
00:20:20THIS IS REAL MONEY BACK IN
00:20:23PEOPLE'S REAL POCKETS. I CAN TELL YOU, AND YOU CAN GO
00:20:26AROUND -- FAMILIES LIKE I SAID,
00:20:29THEY COME DOWN TO THE FOOTBALL TEAM THAT I COACH, AND TALK TO
00:20:33THOSE PARENTS THAT ARE NOT WEALTHY, THEY ARE NOT MILLIONAIRES AND THEY TELL US
00:20:37THEY RECEIVED THE LARGEST TAX REFUND THEY HAVE RECEIVED EVER.
00:20:42THIS IS A GREAT POINT THOUGH, TO
00:20:45BE ABLE TO DIFFERENTIATE AND SEE WHAT DIVIDES US FROM THE
00:20:49DEMOCRATS. WE BELIEVE THE WAY YOU ARE A
00:20:52SIMILAR IDEA, THE DUTCH ECONOMY IS LETTING PEOPLE KEEP MORE OF THEIR HARD-EARNED MONEY.
00:20:57THAT'S HOW WE BELIEVE YOU STIMULATE THE ECONOMY, BY
00:21:00CREATING THOSE JOBS AND LETTING PEOPLE KEEP THEIR HARD-EARNED DOLLARS AND THAT THEY CREATE
00:21:04JOBS WITH THAT, SPEND MONEY,
00:21:07GROW THEIR FAMILIES AND BUILD THE ECONOMY. OUR OPPONENTS OF THE DEMOCRATS I
00:21:10BELIEVE THAT JUST EITHER,
00:21:13FREEBIES OR MORE GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ARE THE ONES THAT CREATE THAT.
00:21:17CREATING MORE GOVERNMENT JOBS IS NOT CREATING JOBS. THIS COMPANY IS EXPANDING AND
00:21:21HIRING MORE PEOPLE, IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF THE COMPANY AND
00:21:25ATTRACTING MORE PEOPLE TO WORK HERE.
00:21:28SO FROM THE NUMBERS THAT WE KNOW AND THE STATISTICS AND
00:21:33TESTIMONIALS I HEAR ABOUT EVERYWHERE WE GO, FAMILIES ARE
00:21:37OVERALL DOING BETTER. ARE THERE HARDSHIPS AND THINGS
00:21:40PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING WITH? ABSOLUTELY AND WE DON'T IGNORE THAT.
00:21:44WE ARE STILL LIVING THROUGH WHAT
00:21:47THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION DID FOR FOUR YEARS FROM THE BORDER TO THE LARGEST INFLATION WE HAVE
00:21:51SEEN. WE ARE CALLING OUR WAY OUT OF THAT IN A VERY STRONG WAY.
00:21:55MORE WORK TO DO BUT WE ARE DEFINITELY ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
00:21:57>> FOLLOW-UP FOR SPEAKER JOHNSON.
00:22:05THE TAX CREDITS FOR OVERTIME AND
00:22:09NO TAX ON TIPS, IT IS SET TO EXPIRE IN 2028. WHAT PLANS DOES THE CONGRESS
00:22:15HAVE AND TREASURY SECRETARY
00:22:18BESSENT CAN SPEAK TO THIS AS WELL BUT WHAT PLANS DO CONGRESS AND TREASURY HAVE TO WORK
00:22:22TOGETHER TO EXTEND THOSE FURTHER ?
00:22:25>> WE TALKED ABOUT THE STAKES IN THIS ELECTION.
00:22:29THAT'S AN EXCELLENT ILLUSTRATION OF WHY ELECTIONS HAVE
00:22:33CONSEQUENCES. WE WENT AS FAR AS WE COULD ON THAT IN THE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL.
00:22:37REMEMBERING NOT ONE DEMOCRAT IN THE HOUSE OR SENATE SUPPORTED ANY OF THIS.
00:22:40I DON'T WANT TO CUT YOUR TAXES. THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE MORE
00:22:43MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AS THEY SAY OPENLY THE QUIET PARTS OUT LOUD.
00:22:47THEY WANT YOU TO SEND ALL YOUR MONEY TO THE GOVERNMENT.
00:22:50BACK TO DSA, THE DEMOCRATIC
00:22:54SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA WHICH IS THE BANTER THEY ARE FLYING UNDER, THEY DON'T WANT ANY
00:22:58BORDERS, THEY DON'T WANT ANY PRISONS, THEY DON'T WANT THE U.S. SENATE.
00:23:03AS FRUSTRATED AS WE ARE, WE DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF THE SENATE.
00:23:06THEY WANT TO REMOVE THE PRESIDENT. THEY WANT TO EXPAND THE HOUSE TO
00:23:10BE ONE UNICAMERAL BODY. WHY? BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THEY WILL
00:23:14FILL IT WITH MARXISTS, COMMUNISTS AND TAKE OVER THE FACILITY.
00:23:19EFFICIENCY WOULD GO THROUGH THE FLOOR AND EMPLOYEES WOULD BE IN
00:23:23A TERRIBLE SITUATION. COMMUNISM NEVER WORKS.
00:23:25THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS AN
00:23:29IMPORTANT ONE. WHAT HAPPENS IN 2028? WE HAVE TO MAKE THESE TAX CUTS
00:23:34PERMANENT. WE HAVE TO ENSURE THE GREAT BENEFITS PEOPLE ARE FEELING CONTINUES.
00:23:40IF THE REPUBLICANS LOSE CONTROL IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE, YOU CAN KISS THOSE TAX CUTS
00:23:44GOODBYE.
00:23:47GUARANTEED THE DEMOCRATS WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES. IF WE HAD NOT GOTTEN THE WORKING
00:23:50FAMILY TAX CUTS BEFORE DECEMBER
00:23:54LAST YEAR, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THE LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN THE
00:23:59HISTORY OF PLANET EARTH. 5.2 TRILLION DOLLARS OF TAXES WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSED ON
00:24:03EVERYBODY'S FAMILY. THEY GAVE THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN
00:24:07HISTORY BY EXTENSION AND DID THE LARGEST SPENDING CUT AT THE SAME TIME.
00:24:14ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, THEY REALLY DO. SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE GROWNUPS
00:24:17IN CHARGE AND KEEP COMMON SENSE MARCHING FORWARD AND YOU CANNOT
00:24:20LET THE COMMUNISTS TAKE OVER CONGRESS. THANK YOU FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.
00:24:26>> THANK YOU. THIS IS FOR SEC. BESSENT.
00:24:30I WOULD LIKE TO AGREE WITH SPEAKER JOHNSON THAT YOU ARE THE
00:24:33MOST QUOTABLE SECRETARY MEMBER OF THE CABINET.
00:24:36THERE HAVE BEEN 7 MILLION TRUMP ACCOUNTS OPENED SINCE THE
00:24:40PROGRAMS LAUNCHED LAST MONTH.
00:24:41COULD YOU COMMENT ON HOW THAT --
00:24:45HOW THE TAX CUTS ARE PROMOTING
00:24:48CAPITALISM AND FIGHTING
00:24:51SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM THAT IS BEING RISEN IN AMERICA?
00:24:53>> GREAT QUESTION.
00:24:5738% OF AMERICAN HOUSEHOLDS HAVE NO EXPOSURE TO THE EQUITY MARKET
00:25:00WHETHER IT'S DIRECTLY, THROUGH BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS OR 401(K)S.
00:25:05WE WANT TO CREATE AN OWNERSHIP
00:25:07SOCIETY THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP, THE
00:25:11ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION. PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO CREATE
00:25:15ASSETS, NOT DEBTS FOR THE
00:25:17AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THERE IS THE
00:25:20$1000 SEED INVESTMENT. I'M TELLING EVERYONE, WITH
00:25:24CHILDREN 18 OR UNDER TO OPEN THE ACCOUNTS, BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING
00:25:28SOME GREAT PHILANTHROPISTS THAT
00:25:32HAVE PUT UP 6.2 5 BILLION DOLLARS FOR CHILDREN ACROSS AMERICA AND THAT IS NOT FOR THE RICH.
00:25:38IT IS FOR THE BOTTOM 80% OF EARNERS IN ZIP CODES.
00:25:43MY FAMILY AND I HAVE CHAMPIONED FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR MORE THAN
00:25:46A DECADE AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE THE REAL-TIME
00:25:50EXPERIMENT IN FINANCIAL LITERACY.
00:25:53I LOOK AT THESE THINGS TODAY AND
00:25:55IF I WERE A KID, BY NOW, PAY
00:25:57LATER, ALL THE CREDIT CARDS,
00:26:01DIGITAL ASSETS. I THINK THIS IS A TEACHABLE
00:26:04MOMENT AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE AN OWNERSHIP SOCIETY.
00:26:10MERCIFULLY I AM AN ECONOMIC HISTORIAN, NOT AN ECONOMIST.
00:26:15IF YOU LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF
00:26:17MOVEMENTS LIKE WITH THE DSA
00:26:22/COMMUNIST WORKING PARTY, IT HAS
00:26:25NEVER WORKED ANYWHERE, BUT IT IS
00:26:26WHEN PEOPLE GET DISENFRANCHISED
00:26:30AND WE ARE CREATING THE OWNERSHIP SOCIETY TO BRING EVERYONE IN TO SHARE THE
00:26:35BENEFITS OF OUR GREAT CAPITAL
00:26:37MARKETS AND INNOVATION AND
00:26:41EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH A STRONG ECONOMY.
00:26:43>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. APPRECIATED.
00:26:48>> I'M GOING TO TAKE A QUESTION
00:26:52IN SPANISH.
00:26:57[SPEAKING SPANISH] >> [INAUDIBLE]
