he said -- jodey arrington. this would amount to one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in modern history if it is passed. what a does it mean though, we talk about budget, which track it's on, the one wig, beautiful bill, the two tracks, reconciliation, etc. what would it mean to the average american if you get the one big, beautiful bill? what difference would they see in their lives immediately? if. >> well, first of all, they would see more money in their pockets because the one big, beautiful bill is going to extend the trump tax cuts as well as initiate some new tax cuts like no tax on tips. that was one of the big proposals that donald trump had that he campaigned on in places like nevada and all over the united states. finish that will put more money in their pockets. it reduces government spending, so i think that takes steps to start reducing inflation. one reason we have massive inflation in america now is because joe biden and his friends in congress spent too much money. so i think it'l

if budget chair jodey arrington deserves a lot of credit for having written the bill.ll be around perhaps later in the show. president donald trump gets some credit for making a couple of very important phone calls. treasury secretary scott bessent9 gets credit for shepherding the bill through the house. interestingly, not a single house democrat voted for the bill which means, if in effect, the entire house democratic conference favors, on record, a $4 trillion plus tax hike. nice going. virtually ensures a continued minority status for quite some time. so so now the house expect senate republicans -- and the senate republicans have to get together and hammer out a compromise, and a group called the big six started a meeting on reconciliation today in the white house. as we speak, i reckon. that group includes the tax-writing chairs, mike crapo in the senate, jason smith in the house. the two leaders, senator thune and speaker johnson, and president trump's own secretary of the treasury scott bessent and n if ec director kevin hassett -- nec. one key point is whether

jodey arrington of texas chairs the budget committee and he joins me now. welcome to the news.s for joining us. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> the bill passed on a 217 to 215 vote and one republican voted against it. is it fair to say now that the real work begins of trying to figure out exactly where you would get those $2 trillion in cuts? >> yeah, i think you are right. i mean, we had to lay out a framework that i think was fiscally responsible, progrowth, it makes adjustments for supporting tax cuts while reining in the wasteful spending to offset those cuts along with growth or revenue from growth, which is a conservative 2.6 percent annual average growth rate which is lower than we had in the trump and biden administration's, but that will bring another $2.6 trillion. so altogether it is a balanced budget resolution, but as you mentioned, the real work happens as the policies are developed at the committee level. and it is designed that way to be a bottom up approach. and then we will have to conference with the senate. >> as you know, there has been a lot of conce

amna: that is the house budget chairman, jodey arrington, joining us in it.our time. >> you, too, bye-bye. ♪ geoff: a federal judge in seattle has blocked president trump's executive order halting the admission of refugees into the u.s. the judge said the administration had likely exceeded its authority by freezing the u.s. refugee admissions program, which was established by congress in 1980. it remains to be seen whether the administration will comply, while a lawsuit challenging the ban -- filed by some of the country's largest resettlement organizations -- works its way through the courts. we're joined now by mark hetfield. he is the president of hias, that's the country's oldest refugee resettlement agency and the organization is also a plaintiff in that lawsuit. help us understand what the u.s. refugee admissions program is. how does the program work and who does it aimed to assist? >> the program was started in 1980 by the refugee act of 1980 to provide a safe and legal pathway for people fleeing persecution or war or conflict to come to the u.s. to ei

chairman jodey arrington and all the budget committee members who have been working so hard. before we get to that, let me just s, last week marked one month of therump administration. just been a month. it seems like mu longer than that because so much has been been accomplished. what a difference the last 30 days have mad america once again has real leader in the white house. and you see the effts. he taking action to make america safer, stroer and more efficient. and we are delivering on our campaign promises. it was not just the promises of president trump, it was the promises of house republicans. and just as we promised, i was on the campaign trail all last year, as you know, went all around the country and i told them these things would happen, just like we promised. by using his executive authority and instructing federal agencies to follow the law, the legal border -- the illegal border crossings are now down dramatically. illegal alien encounters are down 77%. known gotaways are down 93%. this is what real leadership looks like. and deportations of violent, illegal

and house ways and means chair jason smith. >> jodey arrington is the budget chair. all of them set to meet with the president at the white house today to really talk through the different options. now, i can tell you from my conversations with white house officials that this is also something that is preoccupying the mind of the president. he really wants congress to fall in line behind him, to get behind him, to really pass all of the things that he said he had wanted to do, all the things he promised on the campaign trail. now, just to give you a little insight into how the hell is looking at this, you have the people in the house like house speaker mike johnson and arrington and smith, who want one broader what they're calling reconciliation bill to get down, to get done. a lot of the president's priorities, all the things from the border to taxes to energy. however, we've also seen people in the senate, senate republicans kind of grow impatient with waiting on the house. we have people like senator lindsey graham and majority leader john thune, all of them wanti

budget blueprint and the house deatherred for weeks and house plan -- dithered for weeks and jodey arrington hopes for the unfinished bill on thursday. >> strategy that puts the multitude of executives in play from the security package to economic package have to be done in one, big beautiful bill as the president stipulated and it's focusing on that and going for them to know that our margin is down. reporter: what do you make of the senate move? >> not focused on the senate but the house. reporter: the senate is poised to prep its bill in committee tomorrow and thursday. the senate could debate the bill on the floor next week. house speaker mike johnson is not impressed with the senate approach. he wants the house to move first. >> i'm a frayed it's a nonstarter and told my good friend lindsey i have to manage the house in the only way it can be managed and they have to give us a little more patience. reporter: johnson plans to codify some doge cuts in the house budget plans. this comes as democrats protest and democrat leaders radford fio rallying with government leaders on capitol hill.

ability to bring people around when he wants to and i'm proud of the budget committee chairman jodey arringtonouse budget for passing the big beautiful bill that does include all the elements ultimately we want to get to in the senate but we figured it would be good to have a plan b in the senate and if they're unable to get there at least initially we have the border and national security and energy addressed. we know we will have more work to do and deal with the expiring tax provisions and other things like cats and some of the spending which is imperative that we do, we are paying more interest on the national debt then we are on defense and that's unsustainable situation and a much more dangerous world that we seeded a long time. trey: senator you pass the blueprint and you've got in record time confirmations. i'm going to let you get some rest lindsey graham is not used to staying up all night. i'm going to let you get rest. thank you for joining us on a sunday night. >> thank you trÈs. >> there is debate over whether to pursue one bill or two there is no debate on the need to get it don

budget chair jodey arrington getting credit for having written a bill and around perhaps later in the show. president donald trump gets some credit for making a couple of very important phone calls. treasury secretary scott bessent gets credit for sheparding the bill through the house. interestingly, not a single house democrat voted for the bill. that means the house democrats favor a $4 trillion+ tax hike. en sures a continued minority status for quite some time. the house and senate republican haves to get together and hammer out the compromise and the tax writing chairs and mike crapo in the senate and jason cavs in the house and -- jason chaffetz in the house and secretary of the treasury scott bessent and nec director kevin hassett. one key point is whether all the trump tax cuts, both 1.0 from 2017 and 2.0 from the campaign last year will be made permanent. earlier today, i spoke to a leading senate republican who would like all the tax cuts going today. going for them and going for them to conform with mike crapo and going for them and led out to a neutral deficit impact. that

so what the house did, the budget committee with jodey arrington as the chairman, we put forward a bille of roughly $2 trillion in order to extend the president trump's tax cuts for 2017 because every american wants their a taxes to stay put. but every american also a wants us to do the job of cutting waste and reducing spending. to put it in perspective, charles, there's -- our bill only cuts about $200 billion a year. i would like to go further, but we're dealing with a broad conference. keep in mind that in 2019 pre-covid we spent about $4.5 trillion total. today we're spending $7 trillion, charles. we're just asking for $to to 200 billion in cuts on $7 trillion. put the tax cuts in place, unleash the american economy to get the growth necessary along with the spending cuts necessary to drive down inflation. the senate is rightly concerned, as i am, on getting the border funded. so they wanted to move quickly with a maul bill. of that was originally -- small bill. that was originalally my preference. i'm agnostic. i want the border funded, cuts in place, tax cuts in place. that's fig

joining us now, house budget committee chair jodey arrington.f you were wondering how much you were going to add to the deficit. yeah, we decided that was the most important thing to tell you in our intro. just just to get it out there for you as i do that. >> joe. >> i didn't write that. i know, but i know the individual who did. but yeah. go ahead. >> let me refute it. if we grow this economy. >> and stop. >> the. >> reckless, unnecessary spending, return to the pro growth, pro work pro energy policies that we. had established in the first unified republican leadership alongside president trump. we know we're going to grow by at least that 2.5% growth rate. that's lower, by the way, than the average annual growth rate of president trump's first four years, and lower than the annual. >> average growth rate. >> of president biden's administration. so if you get the two and a half to 2.6 trillion from growth from pro-growth policies, and you rein in the unnecessary, reckless, fraudulent spending on the entitlement side to the tune of $2 trillion,

i code sponsor and i, jodey arrington, have introduced a medicare multi-cancer detection screening bill that jodey arrington, my republican colleague, filed last year and named it after my mom, which is very sweet. and the point is that my mom was living a very vibrant life. she was very involved, having been a former librarian, very involved in having mobile units to give books to children who live in the black belt. and this really interrupted her life. she was 82. and i know my brothers and i are worried that this now is a part of our family history and family tree. and the cost right now for these multi-cancer early screens are very expensive, and it's only available to those who can afford it. and i don't think that's right. so i'm proud of this bill, and the bill got over 300 cosponsors, bipartisan support, last congress. 65. i want to thank the chairman of the house ways and means committee, jason smith, for really helping me get this before this committee, and it unanimously passed. so my question to you, dr. carlson, is, why is it so expensive, and would you talk about the barr
