I think it's important that we remind you how good things are going.
I know people are so negative lately.
You know, it's just not what I, what are you talking about?
Inflation is cooling.
The border is completely secure.
The economy is much better than people would imagine.
The market is up.
We are on a historic hot streak.
President Donald Trump has ended three wars and hopefully a fourth.
I understand that when you're dealing with Hamas, it's not exactly easy to get them to agree to a ceasefire.
But yesterday, President Donald Trump got Israel to agree to a ceasefire.
That's a big deal.
Yesterday, President Donald Trump quoted, my representatives had a long and productive meeting with the Israelis today on Gaza.
Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60-day ceasefire, during which time we'll work with all parties to end the wars.
The Qataris and Egyptians, good sign, who worked very hard to help bring peace, will help deliver the final proposal.
I hope for the good of the Middle East that Hamas takes this deal, because if not, it will not get better.
It will only get worse, he says in all caps.
And one of my favorite sentences, thank you for the attention to this matter.
We need to take a step back, everybody.
If you watch most of the media, they make it seem as if the Trump administration is in free fall.
He has win after win and victory after victory right now.
And this is not just spin.
This is not just hopium.
It's real stuff.
Supreme Court injunctions.
Yesterday, by the way, President Donald Trump was able to broker a deal with the University of Pennsylvania revoking all of the national championships that the male William Thomas won when he was a Switmer at the University of Pennsylvania.
Supreme Court comes in and clarifies the nationwide injunctions.
We have a mass deportation agenda well underway where yesterday Tom Holman told us that we're deporting 2,000 people a day and it's only going to go up from here.
As of this morning, we also have a massive trade deal with Vietnam, a huge trade partner for clothing and textiles.
And I know a lot of friends, very close friends, that were watching this one closely.
And this one is a major victory for the country.
Phenomenal.
Understand that this is just the beginning.
We have military recruitment going up.
We have finally national morale trending in the correct direction.
He goes to NATO and NATO calls, President Trump goes to NATO.
NATO calls him daddy.
And not to mention, there were so many people in the midst of the Iranian thing that did not trust President Trump.
Now, we had concerns on this program about how engaging in Iran could enter into a potential Middle East quagmire, but we always ended almost every single ex post and every single program, but we trust President Trump.
We were very clear, repeated.
In fact, people were making fun of us.
They said, Charlie, why is that like your salutation?
I said, well, we trust President Trump because he has earned our trust.
We denied and rejected the binary, and we found a third way of how to explain it.
And President Trump pioneered the MAGA doctrine, the Trump doctrine.
And if you spend too much time chronically online, you'd think that things are just overly negative.
It seems as if the one who complains the most, the one who is the most negative, and the one is the most cynical seems to just spend all their time staring at a laptop screen.
But in fact, the regular everyday Americans, the rank and file, the people that are the base of MAGA, the everyday patriots, they're realizing what President Trump is doing.
And yes, he does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
By the way, we didn't even talk about this one.
Last Friday in a buried news item over the weekend, that's right, in his spare time, President Donald Trump ended another war, the Congo-Rwanda war.
Over 7,000 people killed.
They were using machetes, cutting people's heads off.
And he used it by, he ended it by using American diplomatic power, the U.S. dollar, coming in and ending the Congo-Rwandan war.
President Trump is more popular than ever.
Gas is at a four-year low.
The stock market is at record high.
Everybody, whether you realize it or not, you're starting to live through the golden age.
And of course, there's a lot of stuff that we need to improve.
We need to balance our budget.
We need to cut our deficit.
We need to take back control of our cities.
But I want you to understand that if you are in a negative state, then that is because you are choosing to be in that negative cycle.
You are making a conscious decision to find the errors and not the positives.
Putin is even saying relations with America are improving, which may be the key to ending the Russian-Ukrainian war.
We'll see.
Right now it's a summer of killing, the likes of which that is very hard to witness.
Don't be allergic to winning.
Don't have a reluctance or recalcitrance to embracing that we have actual verified victories and a series of wins in front of us.
We lived in the wilderness for so long, it's almost hard to even say that things are getting better.
But a lot of this is what we voted for.
And it's just the beginning, everybody.
Embrace the fact that President Trump is ending wars, that the economy is materially improving.
Embrace the fact that the border is totally and completely secure.
And for those that don't just stare at their screens all day long about what is negative, oh my goodness.
It turns out the American people are more behind President Trump than ever before.
Play Cut 329.
Trump endorsees won the GOP primary for governor and congressional races.
Look at this.
2024, 96%.
2022, 95%.
2020, 98%.
The bottom line is this.
95% plus of the time the Trump endorsed candidate wins in GOP primaries.
And even in the cases where Donald Trump endorses a challenger to an incumbent, the majority of time, that challenger wins.
So Donald Trump is a winner in Republican primaries.
You go against Donald Trump, to quote the movie Goodberger, you go in the grinder.
Donald Trump is the key nugget.
His endorsement is the key nugget in a GOP primary because he's historically, strongly popular with the GOP people.
Now there's going to be a surprise primary in North Carolina, so we will be watching that, of course.
That is Harry Enton from CNN.
There's another clip that I'll play in a second here.
And then it all transitions to the Big Beautiful Bill.
The Big Beautiful Bill is now in front of the U.S. House of Representatives.
At some point, you're not going to be able to get something done because you have the moderates just getting it through the Senate.
I hope everyone understands the accomplishment of how difficult that was in the Senate.
We had three people vote against us, but not the three that you would have imagined.
Susan Collins, okay, fine.
Remember, Susan is always there.
Senator Collins is there when we need her.
Turns out we didn't need her.
And she's in cycle.
So what happened is that she traded her vote with Lisa Murkowski.
They're very close, kind of the moderate women of the Republican Conference in the U.S. Senate.
Again, I have a lot of respect for Susan Collins.
I get so much hate mail because she's always there when we need her.
But now she can go back to Maine and be like, well, I actually voted against Trump.
And in reality, she wanted to see it passed.
She's very savvy, that one.
We needed her with Kavanaugh, and she stepped up for Kavanaugh.
Whenever we need Susan Collins, she is there.
If not, she's got to preserve her seat.
And in a lot of ways, you can't blame her.
So Rand Paul voted against the bill.
Okay.
He says he never voted for a debt ceiling increase.
That's his prerogative.
But then Susan Collins, the third of which was so surprising for a lot of us, Tom Tillis, what motivates that guy?
What makes him tick?
Well, then in order to get it through the Senate, we had to get Ron Johnson and we had to get Lisa Murkowski.
And that was just at a 50 tie to get J.D. Vance to break the tie.
That is not easy.
And if the House continues to change the bill, then it goes back to the Senate and you might not get Murkowski to do that again.
We gave $25 billion more to rural hospitals for Murkowski.
At some point, you're going to just end up giving giveaways to every single U.S. senator and member of Congress to get this thing passed.
But I'm curious for those of you in the audience, what is the most important part of President Trump's agenda?
Is it spending cuts?
Is it deportations?
What is the most important thing?
We believe that you must rank things in order of importance.
The hierarchy of needs, wants, interests, and desires.
And we think the most important thing to the American project is mass deportations, border plus deportations.
All that other stuff matters.
But it will do us no good if you balance the budget and you are a country of foreigners.
That does you no good.
Balancing the budget is critical, but deporting the alien invaders is even more important.
Look, the headlines are getting crazier by the minute.
We've got an unstable situation in the Middle East, reports of sleeper cells here in America, and the looming threat of nuclear proliferation.
Nobody knows what's coming next, but one thing is clear.
When a crisis hits, it's too late to prepare.
That's why I grabbed the Independence Day Preparedness bundle from MyPatriot Supply.
You are nine meals away from anarchy, and remember, it includes a massive one-year emergency food supply, and right now they're throwing in over $1,200 in free survival gear with it.
We're talking a free year of food, solar backup power, water filtration, everything you need to write out, whatever may be coming with lightning fast free shipping.
Check out the bundle now at mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.
That is mypatriotsupply.com slash Kirk.
This is more than a great deal.
It may be your last best chance to get your house in order, but this special offer won't last long.
Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash K-I-R-K and take care of this now.
I want to play a piece of tape here.
CNN now admits that Trump's June 2025 economy has a much better job market than it was a year ago.
PlayCut 341.
In June, there were about 48,000 layoff announcements.
That is down sharply by 49% from May, and it is even a little bit lower, 2% lower than last June.
And when we look at the trend for layoff announcements, they were trending higher and higher earlier this year.
This looks back to the beginning of 2024.
And you can see they were really low last year, skyrocketed around February and March.
In fact, March was about five times higher than June.
And this, of course, was driven in large part by Doge, right?
The government efficiency effort previously led by Elon Musk that was really slashing government payrolls.
So the economy is much better.
So think about it.
We have the economy that's going in the right direction.
The border is completely secure.
We're winning at the Supreme Court.
We are drill, baby, drill.
Gas prices are going down.
He's ended three wars and probably four.
We are entering into an incredibly positive era.
And if you are in a place of negativity, you are choosing to be in that place of negativity, in that cynicism.
It is easy, even in the most peace and prosperous time, to say, I don't like this or I don't like that.
That is a mindset.
And you got to change and reconfigure your worldview.
You need to choose to embrace the winning.
That doesn't mean you have to be unapologetic about everything.
Even Elon Musk.
So Elon Musk is going after Donald Trump relentlessly.
And then even he last night was like, well, you got to give credit where credit's due.
Him ending this Israel-Gaza war would be a major accomplishment.
Even Elon Musk comes out and says, credit where credit is due.
Governing is hard, and we have to be solution-focused.
It's one thing just to catawa all the time.
Oh, I wish thing.
Okay, got it.
Fine.
We have power, and it's time for us to use that political power.
Here is my suggestion.
It is a two-tiered next approach of this administration.
Pass the big beautiful bill.
By the way, in the next reconciliation bill, I know that we got to keep the heat on.
We got to get rid of all the green new scam stuff.
We need more spending cuts.
I know the likelihood of that is low because D.C. does what D.C. does, but we have to keep the pressure on.
But the top other two things that are priorities, the cities and the cartels, President Donald Trump should go all in and make an argument that the reclamation of our country goes straight through Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.
It goes straight through the cities.
We need mass deportations.
We need an end to urban crime.
Through the cities goes the country.
You cannot abandon your great cities and also save the country.
You could add San Francisco.
You could add Seattle.
You could add Denver.
You could add Atlanta.
But the three big ones are L.A., Chicago, New York.
Those are the three big regions of the country, East, Midwest, West.
Three of the biggest cities in the country.
On top of that, then, I think President Donald Trump should lean in to a soft war against the cartels.
Check more of the containers that are coming through the ports of entry.
Assist the Mexican Marines in any way that they want to go after the cartels.
Draw a line in the sand and say that the Cinerola Drug Cartel is not going to continue to kill 100,000 people a year.
The Cinela Drug Cartel should be the focus of our intensity, and they're an even bigger immediate threat than Iran and Russia and anything else.
The Cinerola Drug Cartel is killing Americans every single day via drugs, via weapons, via human smuggling.
And I'll tell you, if you want to excite the base, if you want to excite everyone in this audience, have a rallying cry against the Mexican drug cartels.
The Big Beautiful bill is going to fund deportations unlike anything this country has ever had.
We're going to go to 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000 deportations a day.
You're always going to start to see a massive increase in American wages as soon as these deportations happen.
And we still have 90%, about 90%.
We still have like 85% of President Trump's administration remaining.
And remember, a one to 10 ratio of arrests to deportations of self-deportation.
So we deport one person, you get 10 people to self-deport.
It's amazing.
So we scale this up.
We could go to 10, 15 million people to port it out of the country, which is priority number one for this entire administration.
And that number and that ratio held during Eisenhower's entire administration.
The moment that we are living today, we're going to look back three years, four years, five years from now, be like, wow, we had it so good in that summer of 2025.
Gas was low.
Wages were starting to go up.
Inflation was cooling.
The border was secure.
He's ending wars.
And instead of nitpicking on things, and look, you can always have feedback.
Things can always get better.
But my challenge to you is take the win.
Enjoy it.
Life is short and Biden's no longer president.
And it's the beginning of the golden age.

Let's just go through the details of the bill.
So the House did a version and they sent it to the Senate.
So the House thought it was going to get better in the Senate.
Now, it did get better in one way, is that it reduced the salt cap.
I think salt is a total scam.
I think we should get rid of salt.
I don't think we should subsidize people in blue states like California and New York just because they have high taxes.
So here's where things currently stand.
It ends the weaponization of permitting and unlocks domestic oil, gas, and nuclear power.
It allows, it rescinds billions of taxpayer dollars poured into the Green New scam, ending handouts to special interests and radical climate activists.
Now, some people say that this Senate bill still has some of Joe Biden's provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act.
I would like to dive into that a little bit deeper and get clarity of whether or not that is true.
But I would like to know, if there are any portions of the Inflation Reduction Act remaining.
Why are they remaining?
And number two, how do we then get rid of them?
Okay.
It permanently secures our border.
This is the biggest victory of all the different elements by far.
It delivers on President Trump's law and order agenda.
It supports Border Patrol and ICE with a $10,000 bonus annually over the next four years.
It delivers needed reinforcements, hiring 10,000 new immigration, customs, and enforcement personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents, and achieves our mass deportation agenda with at least 1 million more annual removals, with at least 1 million more annual removals.
That is the baseline.
So that does not count self-deportations.
That does not count self-deportations.
And understand, when you have Alligator Alcatraz and you have all these raids going on, people are going to say, forget it.
I'm just deporting myself.
I'm getting out.
It delivers the largest tax cut in history for middle and working class Americans.
Bigger paychecks of over $10,000 more in annual home take-home pay for Americans.
No tax on tips.
No tax on overtime.
Now, this says no tax on Social Security.
I want to be careful reading off this, guys.
I don't know if that's exactly true.
Can you double check that?
Because there's been some debate of whether or not no tax on Social Security remains.
This is not correct.
So they're delivering some tax cut for seniors, but I think a tax cut on Social Security remains.
So I don't know what document this is, but I think this might have been the proposed one.
I don't think that's actually what ended up being in the final version.
So there's a lot of debate of whether or not there's no tax on Social Security.
Can we get to that?
Okay.
No tax on Made in America auto loans protects 2 million family farms from punitive double taxation.
It's a permanent increase in the child tax credit supporting over 40 million families.
A vote against a bill would be the largest tax increase in American history.
It rescinds billions in green new scam funding.
It restores fiscal sanity, which slashes over $2 trillion.
Now, I wish it would slash even more, but that's over 10 years, but it is what it is.
It eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse from bloated federal programs, permanently secures our borders, and it deports at least 1 million illegals in a year.
Again, I'm getting a lot of conflicted information on the no tax on Social Security, so we have to check that out.
So the Senate bill adds a bonus, a senior bonus of a tax deduction up to $6,000.
So it's not no tax on Social Security, but it is a bonus for senior citizens, is what it is, a tax bonus.
It finishes phase two of the border wall.
It shifts the cost of adjudication in the immigration system from American taxpayers to aliens, which is remittances.
Hires 10,000 new ICE agents.
We went through that.
Funds the Golden Dome.
And it delivers the largest Coast Guard upgrade since World War II.
Modernizes our military.
Ends Biden's war on American energy and drives down energy costs.
Unleashes domestic oil, gas, and nuclear power, restoring energy independence.
Apparently, they couldn't get to no tax on Social Security without 60 votes.
And remember, we did not have to negotiate with Democrats on any of this stuff.
This was a pure one-party victory.
And just understand what the Democrats just voted against.
The Democrats just voted against no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
So for all of the work, of all the victories, the ones that I'm most proud of of this entire bill, it is border and no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
Let me tell you why I'm so proud of the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
When I'm traveling the country and I'm doing events and I have to wait backstage in sometimes kitchens of hotels or meal preparation areas in conference centers, there's the working class there and they're tired.
They're on their feet all day long and they're asking for selfies and they're taking pictures and they're like, we follow you on TikTok.
We follow you on Instagram.
We follow you on social media.
Those people deserve a chance finally to have a victory.
And the people that are backstage that I encounter, the working class people that serve us our meals at these conference centers that clean our auditoriums.
And honestly, the waiters and waitresses that work their tail off in thankless, very hard jobs.
By the way, always be kind to your waiters and waitresses.
It's a tough job.
You should give them big tips.
I try my best to.
I'm a big believer in being kind to those that serve you food.
A lot of these people are second or third jobs.
They're single moms.
They're in a tough position.
And I just see, you could tell a lot about somebody on how they treat a waiter or waitress.
There's a very interesting trick.
I got this, I think, from Dennis Prager.
If you want to learn a lot about someone that you are dating, especially it's better for a man to do this, but it works either way.
Get to a restaurant that you are having a planned date at 30 minutes ahead of time.
Say, hey, I'm going to pay for the whole meal, which of course the man should always pay for the meal.
And go to the waiter and say, okay, I want you to mess up the order of my date.
They might order the chicken tenders and I want you to give them a burger.
Do it intentionally.
I want you to do this because I want to force a scenario where I see how the person reacts.
And it's a very interesting test because you'll learn a lot about the person that you're on the date with.
So the individual you're on the date with orders, you know, chicken tenders and said they get a burger.
And immediately you'll be able to see that person.
Oh, that idiot waiter messed it up.
And how they communicate to the waiter will be very, or waitress will be very important.
Excuse me, I did get the chicken tenders.
If you could clear that up.
Or is it like, hey, weren't you listening?
I got the, and you'll learn a lot about the character or lack thereof of the person that you want to hopefully marry.
It's a way to judge their smugness and it's a way to judge who you are courting.
My wife, the first date we had, she asked the waiter their name.
It was like, wow, I've never had anyone.
So what's your name?
I want to know your name.
He's like, so personal.
It's so beautiful.
It was so intimate.
And finally, we now have a tax bill that doesn't just deliver for the billionaires or the oligarchy, but it delivers for the working people.
In fact, I was talking to a very, very high-profile person that used to be high-level in American politics before.
They said, why is it that we want to have no tax on tips?
That's like pandering.
I said, hold on.
We do nothing but pandering for the ruling class in our tax code the last 30 years.
Give working Americans a break for once.
And by the way, for people that say, oh, the no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, that's going to be abused.
It's capped at like $25,000 a year.
Meaning that it's not taxed off the $25,000.
Otherwise, you know, I could be like, oh, my entire income is tips.
Like, okay.
So there is a cap on the capacity to be able to abuse the system.
But when I go out to eat, when I go out to my favorite Italian restaurants in Arizona, even when, you know, people go out to Buffalo Wild Wings, which I would say Buffalo Wild Wings is good as a novelty thing once or twice a year.
Buffalo Wild Wings is the best because they got the most screens.
So during March Madness, maybe during a great college football game, I'd say Buffalo Wild Wings is passable.
But you know how tough the waiter life is?
They're up till 10, 11, 12, midnight, and it takes a while to wind down.
They don't earn the money that they always deserve, and they are totally reliant on tips and on the nasty.
Most people are just jerks, and some people give like no tip whatsoever.
By the way, that is a big difference between European and American culture.
American culture, we are very, very generous tippers.
Europe, almost no tips at all.
Like nothing.
It's like an unheard of concept.
So if you tip like Americans in Europe, the waiters are like, oh my goodness.
They never heard of something like it.
And not to mention people that are reliant on overtime.
So think about it.
Cops are now going to get a huge tax break.
Firefighters are about to get a huge tax break.
Union workers.
A lot of people say, well, I'm not on overtime work.
But think about cops right now, police officers right now in Chicago that are having to do the summer wave of crime that happens every summer in Chicago.
And they have to go work double overtime.
That overtime will now be tax-free.
That is more money back in your pocket.
Biden didn't do it.
Bush didn't do it.
Remember, approximately half the country does not have $1,000 in savings for emergencies.
This is the greatest tax cut for the people that were never thanked properly during COVID, that were never thanked properly for keeping the economy going.
The truck drivers, the people that work in manufacturing plants, hourly workers, and those in industries where overtime is common, such as retail, healthcare, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, they rely on overtime to supplement their income.
They would benefit so significantly from a tax exemption on those hours.
And this is the middle class.
You want to rebuild the middle class?
This is what it looks like.
Private student loan debt in America totals over $300 billion.
About $45 billion of that is labeled as distressed.
WhyReFi refinances distressed or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch.
WhyReFi can reduce your monthly payment and guarantees interest rates under 6%, ensuring affordability and financial relief.
Go to YReFi.com.
That is YREFY.com.
Do you have a co-borrower?
YReFi can get them released from the loan and you can give mom or dad a break.
Just call 888-YREFI34.
That is 888-YREFI34 and may not be available in all 50 states.
Can you imagine being debt-free and not living under this burden anymore?
We'll go to yrefi.com.
That is why.com.
That is whyrefi.com.
Bad credit is accepted.
And do you have a co-borrower?
Well, why ReFi can get them released from the loan.
That is whyrefi.com.
No tax on overtime is massive.
That one is also as big as the no tax on tips.
And it's easy for those of us, like I host a radio program.
We're doing incredibly well.
Praise the Lord.
I'm just so detached.
It's easy to get detached from the overtime tip world because of all the inflation that Joe Biden and massive reckless spending gave us.
We're in a tough spot.
And President Trump is digging us out of that economic ditch.
By the way, imagine the midterm angle of all this and the 2028 angle.
Democrats are voting against no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
And this is, I want to get to the no tax on Social Security thing because it's technically true.
I'm going to read this.
The White House just sent this to us.
The White House is watching the show and they're working their tail off.
So it adds a deduction.
So, quote, a married couple of seniors both receiving the average $24,000 Social Security income, the couple will have a total of $48,000 in annual income.
Of that most will be 85% of it is taxable.
Under the Big Beautiful bill, this couple would be entitled to deductions that exceed their taxable Social Security income.
So consider the case of a senior filing a single tax return, receiving the average retirement benefit of approximately $24,000.
The maximum amount of Social Security included in taxable income is 85% of the benefit, which would be $20,000 in this case.
Under the Big Beautiful bill, in 2025, the senior would be entitled to $23,000 in deductions.
So the Big Beautiful bill would lead to deductions that exceed the senior's taxable Social Security income.
So it adds a deduction that low-income seniors will qualify for.
So it helps seniors.
They couldn't get to the Social Security threshold without 60 votes.
It's not all Social Security, but you know what?
Seniors with high incomes shouldn't be tax-free on this.
Seniors in America do very well, but low-income seniors, we are there for you.
I think that's legit.
Low-income seniors, that's fine.
No tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
Everybody, what is the priority here?
The priority is a working-class tax bill for once.
Finally, we have a working-class perspective.
This is much better than even the Trump tax cuts of 2017, which this expands.
It is time that the people that built the Trump movement start to be able to have more take-home pay.
I want you to imagine people in overtime.
A lot of people in hospitality this summer in Disney World, in hotels, in conference centers in Vegas.
They're going to be working overtime.
Cops, firefighters, EMTs, nurses.
So all of a sudden, if you're now going to go, if you're going to do a double, basically two shifts in one nonstop, the overtime is now tax-free.
That is a working class stimulus.
By giving workers who receive an overtime an after-tax boost without having to increase their base wages, it helps employers as well.
So here's the bottom line: we, the people, the everyday citizens, benefit.
By giving workers who receive overtime an after-tax pay boost without having to increase their base wages, employers may feel less pressured to have to dive into non-productive means.
Let's play one last piece of tape.
Let's play CUT 327.
So we're going to look at the strongly approved numbers.
So this isn't just Republicans who like Donald Trump.
This is Republicans who love Donald Trump.
And he's up like a rocket.
Look at this.
In July 2017, the strongly approved was 53%.
That's pretty good.
But look at where he is now.
63% of Republicans strongly approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing about five months into his presidency.
Republicans love Donald Trump the way that Americans love Disney World.
The bottom line is 63%.
That is a huge, huge base.
And of course, it's just part of a Republican base in which about 90% of them overall approve of him, including the somewhat approves as well.
Summarize this all together.
Seniors are getting a tax break.
It's no tax on tips.
It's no tax on overtime.
We're getting incredible energy production.
Gas prices are going down.
Inflation is cooling.
Deportations are going up.
President Donald Trump's political journey, the last 10 years, has been fueled by workers.
He remade the Republican Party for workers.
We call them the muscular class here on this program.
And he's finally delivering for them.
No overtime tax.
No tax on Social Security for working, low-income seniors.
This is a fulfillment of a mandate.
This is a keeping of a promise.
And his base loves him.
And now, for the plumber in Birmingham, Alabama, he'll be able to get more money taking home.
That is a major victory.
Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
