00:00The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just this week confirmed that at least 13,700,000
00:09Americans will lose their health care if the GOP bill for billionaires becomes law.
00:17That is bad economics. It is unconscionable. I have to now admonish my colleagues on this side
00:22of the aisle. This bill falls profoundly short. It does not do what we say it does with respect
00:28to deficits. The fact of the matter is on the spending, what we're dealing with here on tax
00:33cuts and spending, a massive front-loaded deficit increase. That's the truth. That's the truth.
00:40We are writing checks we cannot cash and our children are going to pay the price. So I may
00:45no on this bill unless serious reforms are made today, tomorrow, Sunday. We're having conversations
00:52as we speak, but something needs to change or you're not going to get my support.
00:56We're telling a healthy body, a healthy American that you've got four years to get a job? No.
01:01The payment stops now. Sadly, I'm a hard no until we get this ironed out. The committee will now vote on
01:08the postponed roll call vote to favorably report the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to the House. The clerk
01:13will call the roll. Mr. Norman. No. Mr. Norman, no. Mr. McClintock. Aye. Mr. McClintock, aye. Mr.
01:22Grothman. Aye. Mr. Grothman, aye. Are there any members who have not voted or
01:28wished to change their vote? Mr. Chairman, how am I recorded? You are a yes clerk. Mr.
01:35Chairman, Mr. Smucker is recorded as aye. I'd like to change my vote to no. Okay. Mr.
01:41Smucker is off aye and on no. Mr. Chair, on the vote, there were 16 ayes and 21 nos.
01:49Well, the no's have it. The committee stands in recess, subject to the call of the chair. I want
01:57to thank everybody for their time and patience and Godspeed and safe travels.
