One Big Beautiful Bill's Impact w/ Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) | Hill Nation Summit 2025

Published | Video Starts at 02:24

Were you happy ultimately with the final product that you ended up voting on that President Trump signed? Very much so. I want to give a big shout out to Chairman Jason Smith. He [Jason Smith] was one of the first people, if not the very first person in Congress, to advocate for one bill. He didn't call it the one big beautiful bill. We'll give that credit to the president. But he had been here before. He knew how difficult it was to push things through. (02:24–06:25)
