During this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) insisted the so-called “big, beautiful” budget bill was still on track despite a setback in the House Budget Committee on Friday.
Johnson reiterated his push to get the bill through while explaining its positive aspects.
Partial transcript as follows:
BREAM: OK. So, House Budget Committee, the vote failed on Friday. They’re back at it at 10:00 p.m. tonight.
You heard what Maddie said. Part of the president’s posting on Friday: We don’t need grandstanders in the Republican Party. Stop talking and get it done.
But you got to be talking with them to turn some of those noes to yeses. How are those conversations going?
JOHNSON: They’re going well, Shannon. We’re on track, working around the clock to deliver this nation-shaping legislation for the American people as soon as possible.
Look, all 11 of our committees have wrapped up their work and they spent less and saved more than even we projected initially. This really is once- in-a-generation opportunity that we have here.

Less talking, more doing.
The bill will get bigger and less beautiful.
Most likey true. Here congressman. Here’s 5 billion dollars for your community/district...I mean your vote
Johnson is a rat.
“11 committees”!!
Holey Moley, Batman. Talk about herding cats!
This bill sux.
“The bill will get bigger and less beautiful.”
Yep.
Yeah right, once you guys get through scrubbing everything good out of it.
I trust this guy less and less. I hope I’m wrong.
It’s likely they’ll raise the SALT deduction to $40,000.
Very true.
Bigger is not better when it comes to spending bills.
Smaller is smarter.
There is fewer places to hide graft and pork.
Omnibus Spending Bills gave us trillion dollar deficits.
When a bill gets too big the politicians have less accountability because they can say "I didn't want that particular thing in the bill but I had to vote for the bill to get our state this particular thing"
Pork and burying accountability — those are the real reasons we need severe term limits!
Just another anti-government thread...and the anti-Johnson thread combined.
I read that the bill includes fully funding USAID. Anyone know if this is true?
Yes, there are 11 committees working on different aspects of the bill. That’s how it works.
Has nothing to do with trust...He’s doing his job...there are a handful of Republicans that think they’re hot.
BS...Find a Dem to go after...
Because there are a handful of Republicans who think they’re right....no matter what the President says. It’s Trump’s agenda...not theirs.
