This morning, Trump Administration officials took to the airwaves to describe how the One Big Beautiful Bill will be an economic boon for working Americans, the soaring nature of the Trump economy, and more.

Here’s what you missed:

Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought on State of the Union

• On lowering the deficit: “This bill doesn’t increase the deficit or hurt the debt. In fact, it LOWERS it by $1.4 trillion.”
• On protecting Medicaid: “This bill will preserve and protect the programs, the social safety net, but it will make it much more common sense.”
• On cancer research funding: “We actually want it to go to cancer research. We want it to go to the research that people think that they have been funding through their tax dollars … We don’t want it to go to waste, fraud, and abuse.”

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent on Face the Nation

• On prices: “We wanted to make sure that there aren’t price increases, Margaret — and thus far, there have been no price increases. Everything has been alarmist. The inflation numbers are actually dropping. We saw the first drop in inflation in four years.”
• On inflation: “When we were here in March, you said there was going to be big inflation. There hasn’t been any inflation. Actually, the inflation numbers are the best in four years. So why don’t we stop trying to say this COULD happen — wait and see what DOES happen.”
• On the deficit: “The deficit this year is going to be lower than the deficit last year — and in two years, it will be lower again. We are going to bring the deficit down slowly. We didn’t get here in one year.”

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick on Fox News Sunday

• On tariffs: “The $1.2 trillion trade deficit, and all the underlying implications of that, is a national emergency. It’s gutting our manufacturing base … Rest assured, tariffs are not going away … Congress has given this authority to President Trump and he’s going to use it.”

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on This Week

• On the deficit: “If the bill doesn’t pass, then we’re looking at the biggest tax hike in American history … The idea that it’s worse for the deficit to do something that pays for itself if we get 3% growth is just not defensible.”

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem on Sunday Morning Futures

• On deportations: “President Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on and what the American people elected him to do — and that’s enforce the law. And so we are going to do mass deportations … We are going out there and ensuring that people that repeatedly break our laws are being held accountable.”
• On international students at Harvard: “These ties to China are deeply alarming … If you come to this country to learn and you’re a foreign student and you recognize the opportunity, that’s fantastic — but don’t come here to spy on us and take that information back home to an enemy that is working to destroy us every day. And China has infiltrated this country. It’s my job to protect the homeland and I’ve been given that direction by President Trump. They will not participate in this foreign student program until they clean up their ways.”
