House Speaker Mike Johnson is praising President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” as “the most conservative legislation we’ve ever worked on.”
In an interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Johnson discussed the House Republicans’ intentions to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill and present Trump’s complete agenda to the American populace.
“85 to 90% of this bill is the product generated by the House. The Senate made some adjustments to it, making it more conservative in certain areas while moderating it slightly in others. However, as the President articulated so well today, this is no longer merely a House bill or a Senate bill; it is the bill of the hardworking American people,” Johnson stated.
“And we are committed to delivering it, as you mentioned, Sean, by July 4th. This is of utmost importance. Remember, we received a clear mandate from the people in November to accomplish this. President Trump campaigned on a distinct set of priorities and promises, and we did as well. This is the means to deliver it. We are nearing that finish line,” Johnson added.
“We are at the one-yard line in this game that has been played for over a year. We have worked on this for approximately 14 months to reach this stage. We are going to push it right up the middle and score for the American people. I assure you, everyone will benefit from this bill, Sean. As you pointed out, all those features make it the most conservative piece of legislation we’ve ever worked on. It is also important to mention that while we are implementing historic tax cuts, we are simultaneously achieving historic savings. We are set to save $1.6 trillion for the American people,” he continued.
“We will reduce the size and scope of government, enhance its efficiency, and ensure it serves the people better. They demand and deserve that, and the Republicans are making it happen,” Johnson asserted.
He stated, “However, when discussing Medicaid, it is essential to ensure that the program is maintained for its intended beneficiaries. This includes, for instance, the elderly, the disabled, and young pregnant mothers who are facing hardships. Therefore, we achieve this by reinstating work requirements. If you are a young able-bodied man, your role should be to contribute to the effort, rather than simply benefiting from it.”
