Welcome at his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as well. And it's so nice to have you with us. If you're listening on the radio around the country, Senator, we've got a lot to talk about on today's show. And you had a really fun week and something that you'd been working on for a long time has become a reality. It's going to fundamentally change the future for so many young people in this country as well.
What are Trump accounts and how do they benefit kids?
Well, that's right. So this week I joined President Trump for a big event at the Treasury Department rolling out the Trump accounts. And as you know, the Trump accounts are a major provision that we passed last year as part of the Working Families Tax Cut. I authored the Trump accounts. I wrote the legislation for what became the Trump accounts. And it is the Trump accounts and the school choice provision are, I believe, the two most significant provisions in the entire bill. There are lots of other things that matter in the bill. Obviously, the tax cuts are hugely important, securing the border, rebuilding the military, all of that is enormously important. But I think the two provisions that will still be making a massive difference in this country 10, 20, 30 years from now are the Trump accounts and school choice.
On school choice, we're going to see tens of billions of dollars of scholarships for kids all over this country to be able to go to the school of their choice, for kids trapped in failing schools to be able to get out of those schools and get an excellent education. That is transformative. And for the Trump accounts, starting on July 4th of this year, every kid in America is going to have a private investment account open for them.
How do Trump accounts aim to change the future for young Americans?
Newborn kids are going to have it seeded with $1,000, and then parents and family and employers can contribute $5,000 a year in a tax advantage account, and all of that money will be invested in the stock market, the S&P 500. And so President Trump did a big event celebrating these accounts. It was really powerful, and there's just enormous enthusiasm for the impact these Trump accounts are going to have.
Yeah, it really is. The president also loves giving you a hard time. It's really fun to watch you guys spend a lot of time together. And you've actually especially this last year, you guys have done a lot of things together with legislation. You've been and there's there's weeks where I laugh that you would be at the White House three or four days in a row. with a different piece of legislation each day that you were a part of. This was a core part of that. You guys worked hard and he made sure he mentioned you. And I want people to take a look at this. It was really fun to watch the president talk about you as he was having this signing day.
And a senator who's a friend of mine, you wouldn't believe that, because we went through a rough campaign together. It was nasty. We got along so well, and everybody, we actually did joint rallies, can you believe it? He wanted to get somebody action, so he's smart. He said, would you do a rally with me? But we did joint rallies, and the press used to say, will you ever... you know, start fighting? I said, don't worry, it'll come. He said the same thing. Don't worry, it'll come. He's a very tough guy, very brilliant guy. In fact, when I said, you know, because I had never gone into a debate before officially, my whole life was a debate, but I'd never debated before officially. And I said, let me find out about my competition.
Who are these people? Because many of them, you know, they were senators and mostly senators and governors. And I said, well, why don't we start with this guy named Ted Cruz? Let me, you know, give me. Well, he was the best student at Harvard, number one in his class. He was the best student at Princeton or something. And he was the national debate champion for three years. And I said, well, I don't like that. I didn't know that. I don't like that. And he was a very good debater, I will tell you that, a smart guy.
