White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has addressed claims regarding the contents of a significant legislative bill during an interview with Charlie Kirk. He refuted accusations that the bill includes unnecessary spending, commonly referred to as "pork."
“There’s no pork in the bill. The bill has been public for weeks. Every single provision is just one campaign pledge, one promise, one campaign vow after another," Miller stated. He emphasized that the only new spending proposed is aimed at securing U.S. borders and maintaining sovereignty, funded by increased visa fees on foreigners.
Miller highlighted several key elements included in the bill, suggesting it encompasses comprehensive measures across various policy areas. These include full funding for border security and deportation efforts, defunding transgender surgeries nationwide, implementing an endowment tax on higher education institutions, and eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security.
He also noted the bill's focus on energy deregulation and involving the Department of Defense in southern border defense efforts. According to Miller, this collection of policies represents a historic achievement for the conservative movement.
“A rational person should be able to say, ‘Wow, it is amazing this bill accomplishes the full tax agenda, the full border agenda, the full immigration agenda...,'" he said. Miller argued that while some may desire further fiscal cuts, labeling any part of this legislation as "pork" would be inaccurate given its transparency and adherence to campaign promises.
