00:00Gentlemen, I rise today in support of advancing President Trump's America First agenda.
00:06It was less than two months ago that I stood on this House floor as Republicans passed
00:10our budget resolution, putting a marker in the ground to restore and secure our country
00:16both physically and financially.
00:18While I don't think this resolution goes far enough, the resolution that we're about to
00:22pass today is a positive step forward, and it's what Americans demanded for five months
00:27ago.
00:28Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk directly with President Trump in the West Wing.
00:32He's asking Republicans to support this budget resolution to move the process forward.
00:37This resolution is only one more step in the process to obtain these positive results.
00:42Voting yes means voting for a secure border and economic growth.
00:45By voting yes, we're voting for a path to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent.
00:49It means making economic growth provisions like research and development, the small business
00:54pass-through, interest deductibility, and immediate expense in permanent parts of our tax code.
01:01A yes vote prevents the largest tax increase for Americans in history.
01:05As a fiscal hawk who will continue to work with the administration to rain in reckless spending,
01:09I'm voting yes.
