Senator Ted Cruz

And then a second bill that extends the tax cuts and makes them bigger and bolder. I don't know who's right. I don't know if the Senate's right or the House is right. But at some level, Ben, I don't care. We just have to get the job done. So tonight I had dinner with Steve Scalise. Steve is a good friend. He is the House majority leader.

Really, really well. So Steve, Steve has been is a good friend. He's from Louisiana. He's a conservative. He's a friend. He and I have been friends a long time. He's doing great. And listen, Steve, we all remember where Steve was shot with with the crazed, angry leftist who went to the practice of the congressional baseball game and wanted to kill Republicans. And shot and badly wounded Steve.

Shot him in the pelvis and he was in a coma for several days. He almost died. He's recovered from that. And then I got to say, Steve has had some tough health scares because he had just a couple of years ago cancer. And he was down in Houston at MD Anderson being treated. And MD Anderson is an amazing hospital. My mom, who's 90 now, she was treated there for cancer.

It is... Look, cancer is a terrifying diagnosis. I hope never in my life to be a patient at MD Anderson. I don't want to be a patient there because you're only a patient there if you have cancer. I'd really like not to have cancer. But I'll tell you this, if I ever get cancer, you better believe I want to be a patient at MD Anderson. I mean, they do an amazing job. And I got to say, Steve...

His health is doing great. I told him tonight he's in remission. He's finished with his cancer treatment. He is strong. His color is back. He is full of life and vim and vigor. I told him, I said, look, even five, six months ago when he was coming out of the cancer treatment, you could see, look, when you go through that, you go through chemo, it weakens you. You can just see it's hard.

Your body is, I mean, it exacts the cost. It's brutal. It's brutal. But you know what? Steve is strong and effective and good. I was really encouraged. It's the best I've seen Steve in years. And he's come through this. And he was jubilant. So he was on the House floor. He's the House majority leader. He was trying to get the votes to pass this on the House. And he wasn't sure.

So the first time they brought it on the House, it failed. And then he kept pressing and then he got it done. And he got it done. Look, a critical piece of getting it done was President Trump. And I sort of joked when Steve showed up at dinner, I said, you know, it does help when the chief whip in the House is named Donald J. Trump. Yeah, no doubt about it.
