you Howard's a little bit more for firing the hell out of there. Well, congressional Democrats wanted the largest tax hike in history. They wanted to raise your taxes by 42% of you, 44% I proudly gave you the largest tax cuts in American history. Don't forget, the great, big, beautiful bill doesn't kick in until January. So this all these numbers that you're reading about, all these great numbers that's without the tax cuts. The tax cuts take effect on January 1, and that's no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors, even people that go buy a car, you know, middle income people don't know what the word deduction is. This room. They live on deductions. I need to how much of a deduction do I get? We all live on it. Middle income people. They don't know about it. They don't really have deductions. We're giving them a deduction on the interest. If they buy one of a nice Tesla car, they borrow them. You're so lucky. I'm with you. Has he ever thanked you properly? Oh, I do want to buy other than electric cars, but these are minor details, Joe, we had a mandate, which even Elon thought was ridiculous, that everybody has to have an electric car by 2030 and once, fortunately, he said that's a ridiculous thing, so I keep quoting, but I'm giving them a deduction. Now, Elon would like to have it differently, a deduction only if you buy a Tesla, but we'll let it be for everybody. But think of it. You get a deduction on the loan, on your interest payment. I think that's going to be an unbelievable boon to Garcia's. I think it's one of the biggest things, and we'll see, but I think it's going to be and the biggest thing I've done for business and jobs is deductibility, where all of that money that you're spending 100% think of it. Expensing for all new equipment, purchase, factory, construction, including structure, every single thing you're allowed to deduct, expensing one year. And that's what made our first tax bill, in my opinion, more than anything else. Bringing your money back in. We have that. We have everything, trillions of dollars, hundreds of billions, but trillions of dollars, Apple alone, Tim Cook brought in hundreds of millions of dollars. He couldn't do it under the old tax code. You'd have to pay so much tax and just the bureaucracy of it. We made it very simple, we judged the fair rate, and we took in billions. Well, we have that, but the expensing, to me, was the thing that made it so successful. And the other thing is, all of those tax cuts that we got that was the largest tax cut in history, on top of adding to those cuts, we extended that the original tax cuts, if we didn't extend, you would have had. Had about a 58% tax increase from that point, and we were able to get that extended. So I want to thank the Speaker of the House, and I want to thank John Thune, and a lot of people thought that that bill, because we put everything into that one. We took four years worth of things, and we put them into the great big, beautiful bill, and we got to pass. He was, like about a quarter of a vote. We were it was on fumes. We thought for a couple of moments we were not going to be able to get it. Then we would have had to have it in nine or 12 or 14 different bills, and I don't think we would have gotten many of them approved. We would have gotten some easily at birth, but some we would have gotten a vote somewhere. By putting it all together, we got everything, and it was a great job. And I think someday it's going to be appreciated. But among other things, it's the biggest tax cut in history for people and for businesses. So just enjoy it and think of it every once in a while when you're hiring new people and making a lot of money, you just think about us. But I'm cutting a record number of job killing regulations. That's the other thing, and I've already slashed more than $1 trillion worth of regulations this year. My last term, I gave the largest regulation cut in history, and now we're doing it again. In fact, for every new regulation, they're mandated to cut 10, and so far it's for every new regulation they've cut 30. So they have the they have the idea. And very importantly, we stopped Joe Biden's radical crusade to kill oil and natural gas somehow, I don't think Saudi Arabia would like you too much if we decide to kill oil and natural gas and nothing like it. It works. Windmills don't work. Other things, I don't want to get into it too much, but they don't work. What does work is natural gas, oil, nuclear and other things, but the windmills are a disaster. I am the biggest negative person on Windows. They ruin your locations. They ruin when I look at some of these countrysides that are littered with Windows, and every time it goes around, you lose money. The country loses money. It's a disaster. And I just hope that some of these countries that are losing their ass, we have countries that are going bankrupt because they're putting windmills all over the place. You're supposed to make money with energy, not lose money with energy. And we talk about oil, and we talk even clean, beautiful coal. I said, you're not allowed to mention the word call unless you proceeded by saying clean, beautiful. So I had my people in the office. They're talking about coal, right? And they go, sir, a clean, beautiful call is doing very well, sir. And then two minutes like a clean, beautiful call, then he mentions, sir, Cole, no, it's clean and beautiful because it needs a public relations help. Coalition needs a little help, public relations wise. So we refer to it as clean, beautiful coal. And it does have its place that I can tell you. But we're streamlining permitting for all new energy projects, all the mining projects, and what used to take 28 days is now down to very little. But we had times when not 28 days. We had times when things would take 14, 1516, and even 20 years to get approved. We have a maximum day, 28 days. That's the maximum it'll take. It'll never take more. You can come in with a trillion dollar factory. You can come in with what it takes a maximum. You don't have to go years and years and years be abused by bureaucracy. If you build a plant now, you're going to have your plant done within 28 days. And a lot of you are all fine, because I said we're checking the head. You're all agreeing. We're getting you approved by very smart people quickly. You know, when you used to walk in with plans done by the best engineers in the world, 1000s of pages and drop among some guy, he's been there for 28 years, approving environmental impact statements, and he's looking at pages that he's never seen, and he's supposed to approve it. He has no idea what the hell is in those pages. So we know what we're doing. We're going to get maximum this 28 days. That's why we have so much under construction. And people can't believe it. They can't believe it. And again, remember what I said? Most importantly, you're building your own electric plant, you're really becoming a utility in addition to doing what you're doing, but you're building all of the excess, all of that energy, all of that electricity is being built, and your excess electricity you can sell back to the federal grid. So we even make it there aren't there any deals. Mm. Inside. This week, the world's two leading energy superpowers, America and Saudi Arabia, are partnering on energy like we've never partnered before. American Saudi companies representing liquefied natural gas infrastructure constructions and making both of our energy sections. I mean, our sectors are becoming so strong. Just a quick start in Louisiana, when I first, first time I got there, there were two massive LNG plants. One was under review for 14 years and was being rejected. The other one was for 18 years. The people in Louisiana, Doug, you know exactly what I'm talking about. And one was $20 billion one was 24 billion, like the biggest things, like three Empire State Buildings lying on its side. It was massive. And I said, What about one of those plants? Well, sir, they review, how long has it been 14 years and 17 years, and they had given up. Massive investments were being made by other countries and the richest people. They couldn't get them approved. I got myself involved, right? The first one, I got approved in one day.
