Congratulations. >> So we have a very big trip planned to Iowa from the field going with us. And perhaps a lot of you are going with us, are you? And we have a very big crowd, so it's gonna be a lot of fun. And we're sort of celebrating the biggest bill of its kind to ever sign. And it's gonna make this country into a rocket ship. >> Who's the president? >> He served in a lot of House Republicans yesterday. I'm glad John doesn't react. >> I think when you go over the bill, it was very easy to get to the desk. And we went over that bill at the point after point, biggest tax cut in history. Great for security, great on the southern border. Immigration is covered, we covered this about everything. Again, it's the biggest bill ever signed of its kind. >> Mr. President. >> >> Well, I talked to a lot of different Republicans doing it. And we had a good time being there. I did not have much of a problem with any of them. As you know, we had two negative votes, so we asked whatever it was. >> >> Yeah, I think a few of them I did, but I think they would have gotten yes anyway. >> What were the deals? >> No deals, no deals. What I did is we talked about how good the bill is. I mean, that's a deal, I guess. You could think about it, but obviously convinced him, but it was that hard. This is a great bill, this is gonna be a great bill. >> Mr. President. >> Mr. President, some of you have asked what is you to vote for this bill. Do you want to primary bill too? >> Well, I was disappointed that he did that. There were two of them that voted now, so I was disappointed that he voted. >> Mr. President. >> What was the call you wanted to make today accomplished? >> We had a call, it was a pretty long call. We talked about a lot of things, including Iran. And we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine. >> I'm not happy about that. >> Mr. President. >> >> No, I didn't make any progress today at all. >> Mr. President, how much growth can the country expect from the one bill? >> I think we're gonna get great growth. I think we'll have growth in record numbers. This is gonna be something that's amazing, and everybody was watching it all. And I want to congratulate the speaker, and Tom Emmer, Steve Scalise, everybody else. I mean, they worked so hard, so hard. This has really been going on for over a year, I think, to be exact about 14 months. And this was their culmination, and I guess it ended a lot earlier. A lot of people thought it would end up the following afternoon when it ended up later. But they were great. >> What do you think it does? >> By the way, on the Senate side, I thought so did Putin, and then Xi Jinping. >> What makes you think that's about the power you've amassed within your party? In America, your first term that you were able to get this over the finish line? >> I think I have more power now, and I could say, gee, I don't know. I think I probably do, because we had a great record of success. You know, my first term was very, very successful. We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. I think we're gonna blow it away this year. We've proven certain things, and, yeah, I think probably it's got more gravitas, more power. >> Sir, you signed a trade deal with Vietnam yesterday, a great deal, 40% on trans dipping. Can we expect any more of that before next week, sir? >> So we have a couple of other deals, but my information is to send a letter out and send what tariff they're gonna do back. This is much easier. We have far more than 170 countries, and how many deals can you make? And you can take pictures, but they're very much more complicated. I'd rather, and I've been like this from the beginning, I'd rather send out a letter and say, this is what you're gonna make of your business in the United States. I think it'll be well received. It's just so many countries, and, you know, then they go specific. Let's do this, let's do that, peace, ethanol. I'd rather just do a simple deal where you can maintain it and control it. You're gonna pay it 20%, 25% or 30% down. >> You brought in a record about it. >> We're gonna be sending some letters out starting probably tomorrow, maybe 10 a day, to various countries saying what they're gonna pay for your business with the US. >> Mr. President, first of all, I think sort of a Republican congressman, you had signed down last time, watching the U.C. Do you think it's time for Congress to take that control of U.K.? >> I think that E.C. has to become a very safe place. And we're not gonna let anything bad happen to E.C. That's how beautiful he seems. And we're not gonna let anything bad happen. We'll have something to say about the difference. >> Mr. President, why did you-- >> I pulled back to, why did you pause weapons using the new frame? Why did you pause weapons? >> We haven't. We're giving weapons, but we've given so many weapons. But we are giving weapons, and we're working with them and trying to help them. But we haven't. >> You know, might empty down our whole country giving weapons. We have to make sure that we have enough for ourselves. >> So you can, what message is this? >> Who you with? >> We can't talk. >> Mr. President, there's gonna be a lot of symbolism tomorrow when you sign the one big beautiful bill on Independence Day at the White House, ticking off the 250 years of American independence. What message should Americans be getting tomorrow when you sign this bill? >> Well, I think it's gonna be really a message. You're gonna be proud to be a country, because our country is doing fantastic. Well, the economy is great. You saw the stock market setting records. In every aspect of our country, we're doing well, despite the fact that we inherited millions of people that shouldn't have been here. And I think we have front stats that are coming out that are showing the lowest numbers we've had in Middle East. And that also, despite the fact that a lot of people are here that shouldn't have been led into our country. So I think it'll be very proud tomorrow. So we're signing at about five o'clock. And at about five o'clock, we're gonna have E2s and F-22s and F-35s flying right over the White House. And the Speaker and I and John Thune, we're all there together with most, I think most Republican senators and congressmen and women. And it's gonna be a great day. So we'll be signing with those beautiful planes flying right over our heads. What are your expectations for the next round of talks with Steve Wakehouse and the Iranian counterparts? Well, what do you see? Steve is a great guy, he's a great negotiator. Iran does want to speak. And I think they'd like to speak to me. And it's time that they do. We're not looking to hurt them. We're looking to let them be a country again. They got beat up. And we were both exhausted, right? But Iran really got beat up. And I think they want to meet. I mean, I know they want to meet. And if it's necessary, I'll do it. But Steve is involved and very much involved. And he's done a fantastic job. All right, one more. I want the people of Gaza to be safe, no more. I want to see safe people of Gaza to be a God through hell. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.
