Four years ago, America led in 5G. Now, China leads. They're on pace to have four times more

5G spectrum than the U.S. and already boast 15 times more 5G factories, giving them a huge edge in

next generation manufacturing. The first Trump administration jump started our 5G lead. It's time to do it again by

All Hill Republicans are looking to pass a package and put it on Trump's desk

by July 4th. This is a tight timeline and the GOP leadership here in the House are coming right up

against it. Yeah, eight days doesn't seem like a lot, does it? No, it does not. Happy Monday, everybody. Every single week, I laugh every Sunday,

because we always say it's a big week for reconciliation, because it always is. And it will be

until this thing is past, which, again, we don't know when that will be. So a lot happened

between Friday night when we saw you last and this morning,

Monday morning, at just before 5 a.m. So the Ways and Means Committee has its initial mark out.
