Congressman Brandon Gill, R-Texas., said that he believes President Donald Trump's 'big beautiful bill' will be passed before July 4 after the Senate makes changes to it. 

"By and large, I think they're going to get this bill done," Gill said on the Friday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "I think they'll make some small, minor changes to it. They'll get it back to the House, and we will get it passed before July 4."

Republicans in the House recently passed Trump's "big beautiful bill" and it is now in the Senate where changes will likely be made. 

Over the weekend, Republicans on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee proposed an alternative to a controversial part of the bill that would curb state regulatory authorities over artificial intelligence.

In the House version of the bill, there was a 10-year ban on individual states passing laws to regulate AI models and systems. The Senate updated the GOP's version of the bill to declare that states can't regulate AI if they want federal broadband funding.

"There are some things, and the President has said this, that the Senate can do to make this bill even better than it is," Gill said. "I would like to see them perhaps adjust the SALT cap a little bit. I think that we set that a little bit too high. I think there are some things on the Green New Deal that they could work on as well."

SALT, which is the acronym for "State and Local Taxes," is a tax break that allows taxpayers to deduct part or all of what they paid in state and local taxes from their federal tax liability.

Gill explained that the bill has to pass as it has many aspects of Trump's agenda in it.

Border security, tax cuts, bloated agencies in the details

"We're going to get this thing done," he said. "This has all the priorities that Republicans have been talking about for a long time, particularly border security and tax cuts."

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., said earlier this month that the bill will only pass the Senate if there are major spending cuts and reform.

Tuberville said there are thousands of agencies in the government that need to be removed.

"There's 2,600 agencies up here in the federal government," he said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "It has grown over the years. And, of course, we're worried about a lot of them, but there are a lot of these places that we could just sit down and go line by line, as a lot of senators up here said, and so we could cut more of this. But for some reason, there's been no dialogue with that."

However, it is unclear if the bill will be passed by the July 4 deadline set by Trump as some senators are strongly against it, worried it will add to the deficit. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., told NPR that the bill was "immoral" and "grotesque."

The Department of the Treasury says that the country's deficit is $1.05 trillion for the fiscal year 2025.

"We're mortgaging our children's future," Johnson said on a Just the News special with the Association for Mature Americans (AMAC). "It's wrong. It's immoral. It's gotta stop. There you go. That was my campaign theme in 2010 that got me elected. It's been my primary focus again."
