We’re going to get this done. The sooner the better.

I’m not buying it. The American people are not buying it.

4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so.

The House is eager and ready to act on DOGE’s findings so we can deliver even more cuts to big government that President Trump wants and the American people demand.

And when you make young men work, it’s good for them, it’s good for their dignity, it’s good for their self-worth, and it’s good for the community that they live in.

So there’s a moral component to what we’re doing.

You’re cheating the system.

We have to restore it. And bringing about a simple reform like that is something that I think everybody should applaud.

This legislation will pass and get the economy going again. And people will feel that. They'll see it in their own pocketbooks, in their own opportunity.

We are not cutting Medicaid. We are not cutting SNAP. We're working in the elements of fraud, waste and abuse.

This is a big thing. It's an historic thing, once-in-a-generation legislation. We call it the one big, beautiful bill because it's going to do so much and the America first agenda will be delivered for the people just as we promised.

This is not some – some onerous thing. This is common sense.

What we're doing is strengthening Medicaid and SNAP so that they can exist, so that they'll be there for the people that desperately need it the most.

This is a wildly popular thing, because we have to preserve the programs.

What we're doing is working on fraud, waste and abuse.

When we make them work, it'll be better for everybody, a win-win-win for all.

What this bill is going to do is be jet fuel to the U.S. economy.

We're proud of what we produced here. We've checked all the boxes, where all the things that you mentioned in existence.

We are not cutting Medicaid.

We bothered to stick it in because that's our responsibility in Congress.

This is a big thing, it's an historic thing, once in a generation legislation.

We have not cut Medicaid, and we have not cut SNAP.

This is not some onerous thing, this is common sense.

That's about the right estimate. But at the same time, we have historic savings for the American people.

I think, arguably, it's the most consequential legislation that Congress will pass in many generations, and it's a long time coming.
