Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) on Locking In the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

In this next installment of American Potential , host David From shares a timely conversation featuring House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Fox News contributor and Americans for Prosperity Advisory Council member Guy Benson, recorded at the AFP Freedom Embassy in Washington, D.C. Scalise breaks down the House-passed reconciliation bill designed to lock in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)—a move aimed at preventing a $4.5 trillion tax hike scheduled for 2025. The legislation would secure tax relief for families, protect small businesses, eliminate taxes on tips and overtime, restore bonus depreciation, and make the 199A small business deduction permanent. The bill also features aggressive mandatory spending reforms, work requirements in Medicaid and SNAP, border security investments, and energy production measures, echoing the agenda backed by voters in the last election. This episode offers an inside look at the high-stakes legislative battle to keep more money in Americans’ pockets—and keep the economy growing.
