Washington, D.C. – On Sunday, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) joined NBC’s “Meet the Press” to discuss moving forward with President Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill,’ and the destruction of Iran’s nuclear program. Highlights below.

Sen. Mullin’s full interview can be found here.

On final passage of the One Big, Beautiful, Bill:

 “Right now, there’s a stall tactic, obviously by the Democrats, that’s making them read page by page, which I think is great. I hope the American people pay attention to it. I hope the Democrats pay attention to it, because it’s going to be very hard for them to argue about what this actually does. It cuts spending. It’s the largest deficit cut by any Congress ever in history. It makes tax cuts permanent… I hope the Democrats pay attention and realize we’re delivering for the American people… We’re going to pass this bill, and we’re very confident we have the votes to do that.”

On delivering for the American people:

“What we’re doing is delivering for the American people, and they know that. So, if you look at any polling in the red states, especially where President Trump won, which he won the red states overwhelmingly, President Trump is popular, and the bill is extremely popular.” 

“When we vote on this… every Republican and every Democrat is going to have two choices for the American people. We either one, move forward as a yes vote and move forward into President Trump’s era and his policies, bringing back the economy, securing our border, making it safer home and abroad, and making sure we have energy independence, and bringing down deficits, and making sure tax cuts are permanent or B we go back to the Biden era policies, which was wrecking our economy. We had an unsecure border. We weren’t appreciated or even respected around the world, and our economy was in the tank.”

“So, you have a yes vote or no vote, stay where we’re at or move forward. And I think the American people made it very clear in November, they want to move forward.” 

On the destruction of Iranian nuclear sites:

“Every president since Clinton has talked about it, Trump’s the first one to actually do it.”

“Now, why would we leave the airspace when we controlled it completely, we could have stayed there for a month if we wanted to, if we didn’t believe and have actual knowledge to know that we destroyed their infrastructure… Fordow was in the Iranian regime’s mind that it was indestructible… and Fordow destroyed. There’s no way that they can bring their program back without rebuilding it, and that will take years for them to rebuild it.”
