Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer confronted Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, over a new tax and spending bill just passed by the House. President Donald Trump insists that all of his allies call it the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

The House Reconciliation Bill includes a mix of significant spending cuts and more spending on other areas like defense. It also comes with a significant tax cut, which led to a report from the Congressional Budget Office to conclude that it will result in trillions more in federal debt. This detail does not play well with the more financially conservative members of even Trump’s own Republican party.
