## Transcript

Andy Harris said that you didn't adequately convince enough people to vote for the bill. The House Freedom Caucus. You mean after this speech? You mean after the speech? Well, why don't we see how the vote is? I think it was a great, great talk. I think we have unbelievable unity. I think we're going to get everything we want, and I think we're going to have a great victory. And this man has done a great job. And I think this was a tremendous session. You may want to say something. Yeah. It was it was a great meeting. The party is unified. The House Republican Conference is excited. Multiple standing ovations.

They love this president. The people back home love what he's doing. It's historic. And everybody understands the scope and the meaning of this. If we do not accomplish this mission, every one of you, all the American people are going to have the highest tax increase that you've ever had among the debt ceiling cliff that's approaching and all the other problems. This is the bill to do it. I think we can get it done. Mr. president. The Democrats want to raise your taxes if this doesn't work. I think it was a really great that was a meeting of love, let me tell you. That was love in that room. There was no shouting.

There was I think it was a meeting of love. There were a couple of things that we talked about specifically, where some people felt a little bit, one way or the other, not a big deal. And I covered them. It wasn't so much a speech. I covered certain points and I think there was I'd be very surprised. You know, I didn't tell him. Who told you? I said what we heard inside the room. It's a lie. Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Who told you that? Have you heard from people inside the room? Oh, really? It's totally true. I never used the term. I didn't say I didn't even talk about it. In fact, it's the opposite.

I think we're going to get it done. I'm not losing patience. We're ahead of schedule. Anybody that told you that is a liar? Wait a minute, wait a minute. I never mentioned the word losing patience because I'm not losing patience. We're head of. That's why I asked you. Well, why don't you go back to your source and tell them they're liars? If the source even exists? Mr. president.
