(DCNF)—U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared on Fox Business Thursday to discuss a strategy that he said is aimed at reducing the regulatory burden that has plagued the economy in recent years.
In a commitment to bolster economic growth and alleviate financial pressures on American families, Bessent said on “Kudlow” that his forthcoming tax bill intends to stimulate the economy and create a culture of efficiency and accountability within the government.
“Changing the growth trajectory of a nation changes the debt dynamics and, as I always say, I am America’s leading bond salesman, and I have a great story to tell,” Bessent told Larry Kudlow.
The focus is crystal clear, Bessent said, to make the tax cuts permanent, reduce energy costs, and, critically, scale back the regulatory overreach that has been a significant burden.
“We’re going to get this tax bill done, and that will increase growth that we are committed to, common sense in government, more efficiency, rooting out waste, fraud and inefficiency. So we’re going to bring costs down, revenues up, and that’s a fantastic growth scenario. So we’ll make the tax cuts permanent,” Bessent said.
Bessent discussed the policies of the Biden administration, which, he said, piled on regulations that constrained business and economic activity.
“We’ll bring energy costs down and, Larry, as you know better than anyone, one of the biggest costs on the American people the past few years have just been these out of control regulations that the previous administration put in,” Bessent added. “So in President Trump’s first term, the goal was to eliminate three regulations for everyone that was added. I believe it worked out to seven were cut for everyone that was added.”
Bessent said he would work alongside Congress to make the 2017 tax cuts, which were initiated during President Donald Trump’s first term, permanent. He said that extending these cuts is the most pressing economic issue of the day. In support of this, the House passed a budget resolution that would prolong the Trump-era tax reductions through a significant reconciliation bill.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
