The White House claimed the bill, spearheaded by Stephen Miller, includes the largest welfare reform in history, tax cuts, energy exploration, and border security measures, while also reducing the deficit by $1.6 trillion. Peter Navarro supported the bill by stating that reciprocal tariffs would generate trillions in revenue, offsetting any claims the bill increases the deficit.

2. White House News

FACT: One, Big, Beautiful Bill Cuts Spending, Fuels Growth

The White House describes President Trump’s "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity" to cut spending, fuel growth, and level the fiscal footing of the American economy. Stephen Miller stated that it is "NOT an annual budget bill" but includes "the single largest welfare reform in American history," along with tax cuts, energy exploration, and a border bill, "all while reducing the deficit." He claims the bill saves over $1.6 trillion in mandatory spending and that claims the bill increases the deficit are based on a "CBO accounting gimmick."

Peter Navarro states that the CBO refuses to account for new revenues from Trump's reciprocal tariffs. He argues that a 10 percent global tariff "should generate between $2.3 trillion and $3.3 trillion in additional revenue" over ten years. Navarro projects that the bill's budget impact ranges from a $300 billion increase in debt to a $2 trillion surplus, depending on economic growth assumptions.

ICYMI: Trump’s ‘One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ promises up to $11,600 wage boost, new jobs

The White House exclusively told The National News Desk that President Trump's "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" aims to extend the "pro-growth and pro-worker legacy" of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). According to the White House, the TCJA spurred a "blue-collar boom." The new bill seeks to further growth by creating incentives to expand America’s domestic manufacturing base and providing relief to workers affected by high inflation.

Key provisions include eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, saving workers approximately $1,675 and up to $1,750 per year, temporary full expensing for new factories, and lower tax rates on domestic manufacturing. Enhanced Opportunity Zone incentives are expected to drive over $100 billion in investment and create over 1 million new jobs. The Joint Committee on Taxation reported that the top 1 percent will take on a greater share of total federal taxes. The White House says failure to pass the bill could result in a $4 trillion tax hike, potentially leading to recessionary challenges.

AOC Wants to END the Agency Arresting Killers, Rapists in New York

The White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated that "AOC, Democrat Party leader, calls for abolishing ICE," while ICE protects American citizens by removing dangerous criminal illegal immigrants. Jackson questions why AOC wants to stop this. The White House claims that "President Donald J. Trump, his administration, and the heroes of ICE work overtime to rid our country of criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, and gangbangers" and that top Democrats want to eliminate ICE.

The White House quoted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as saying, "I believe that ICE...is a rogue agency that should not exist." The White House questions where AOC's concern is for New Yorkers killed, maimed, and raped by criminal illegal immigrants due to New York's "sanctuary" policies. The White House then lists several individuals arrested by ICE in New York, detailing their nationalities and convictions.
