Published July 28, 2025 | Video Starts at 09:33

I have one thing I got to say which is whoever we don't have in the House right now, we do not have Congressman with Amelia Sykes. Even though we're right on the border, I believe in ail and Michael's district. Amelia Sykes is not here today... because she's not celebrating new taxes on Tex. She's not celebrating new taxes all her time. She's not celebrating mysterious income thing in 60 years because she fought us every step of the way. Of a big beautiful bill. She fought to raise your taxes. (09:33–09:44)
