It's not. | |
| It's not the same meaning as I said to president Trump that the? | ||
| U.s. | ||
| Really originated the G20. | ||
| and it's important that the United States continues to play a key role in the G20, and we are privileged to be the president of the G20, but we are even overjoyed that we are going to hand over to the United States, who are the originators, and for that reason, I expect the United States to continue playing the leadership role in the G20 together with other countries. | ||
| and i've said when I initially spoke to president Trump on the phone, I want him to come to South Africa for a state visit and I also want him to come and participate in the G20 and I want to gladly hand over to president Trump to take the leadership of the G20 forward in november. | ||

|
To me this is an abomination. | |
| How long is this country gonna depend on the poor and the middle class to carry it? | ||
| I'd say anybody that makes under a hundred thousand dollars quit paying taxes. | ||
| Let somebody else figure it out, because obviously the country don't need your money. | ||
| Y'all have a good day. | ||
| Goodbye, all right, Tony. | ||
| In Clifton, New Jersey. | ||
| Republican good morning to you, Tony. | ||
| What do you think about what your party did here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning, you know i'm delighted. | |
| I have been um in favor of the president Trump's performance uh, financially for our country in his first term and his, his sense that he brings of, you know, restoring things, making people do better. | ||
| We all thrived in his first term. | ||
| So i'm delighted and I see the the memories of the Kennedy tax cuts That came about after his passing, and the country did so beautifully. | ||
| So, looking at the financials of it, I'm very excited, and I'm delighted that Speaker Mike has been our Speaker of the House, and his performance has been astounding. | ||
| I pray for the country, and I pray for unity. | ||
| Tony, were you do you have this confidence in Speaker Johnson because this passed today, this morning? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've always had it. | |
| As I've gotten to know him, he has really been a speaker who I've always looked for. | ||
| He's the people speaker. | ||
| He's gone all over the country. | ||
| He's really someone that you could reach out to. | ||
| I call his office many times with my thoughts, my feelings, and someone always picks up the phone and takes my message. | ||
| That doesn't happen throughout Congress, especially on the Democratic side. | ||
| I really get a person when I call. | ||
| Sometimes I do. | ||
| But Speaker Mike Johnson is a beautiful man, and he has a heart for the country. | ||
| So I'm delighted. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Tony, we are waiting on Speaker Mike Johnson. | ||
| He is going to come to a podium here on Capitol Hill. | ||
| There it is on your screen, and you can see his fellow Republicans all lined up there. | ||
| There he is. | ||
| Let's listen in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks everybody for being here. | |
| This is a big day. | ||
| We said on the House floor, it's finally morning in America again. | ||
| The media and the Democrats have consistently dismissed any possibility that House Republicans could get this done. | ||
| They did not believe that we could succeed in our mission to enact President Trump's America First Agenda. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But this is a big one. | |
| And once again, they have been proven wrong. | ||
| Today, the House has passed generational, truly nation-shaping legislation to reduce spending and permanently lower taxes for families and job creators, secure the border, unleash American energy dominance, restore peace through strength, and make government work more efficiently and effectively for all Americans. | ||
| House Democrats voted against all of that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So everything that I just said, they voted the opposite. | |
| Clearly proves they actually, they must want the largest tax increase in U.S. history on the American citizens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They must want open borders. | |
| They've proven that over and over. | ||
| They must want Medicaid for illegal immigrants. | ||
| We look forward to the Senate's timely consideration of this once-in-a-generation legislation. | ||
| We stand ready to continue our work together to deliver on the one big beautiful bill, as President Trump named it himself. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to send that to his desk. | |
| We're going to get there by Independence Day on July 4th, and we are going to celebrate a new golden age in America. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you for being here. | |
| I will yield next to our leader, Steve Scalise. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Speaker. | ||
| And as the Speaker said, it truly is morning in America again. | ||
| You know, when you think about all of the work that's gone in to putting this bill together, it's one big, beautiful bill for a lot of reasons. | ||
| There are a lot of really important wins for the American people in this bill. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we had 11 committees come together and meet in hearings. | |
| Some went on over 24 hours. | ||
| Rules Committee went over 20 hours. | ||
| You had, you know, of course, the Budget Committee. | ||
| Chairman Arrington is the lead author of the bill. | ||
| All of the people that had to come together in our conference, and I think a lot of you know we don't all think alike, Democrats made it very clear they didn't want to have any part in helping get America back on track again, but we were never deterred. | ||
| When this bill could have failed 10 times over, we said we were going to get this done, and failure is not an option, and we meant it. | ||
| We knew we were fighting for the families who've been struggling for way too long under the failed policies of Joe Biden and all the Democrats who did have control of Washington for too long. | ||
| We watched higher interest rates and higher inflation and lower wages and a demise of the American dream that we knew should not be permanent but was only going to turn around if we passed a bill to get America back on track. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We knew we had to prevent a massive tax increase, so we put it in the bill. | |
| We knew we needed to secure America's border as President Trump ran on all across this country and won the election on, and we put it in this bill. | ||
| We ran on and said we would produce more American energy, and we put it in this bill. | ||
| All the things that we knew we needed to do to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in government, focus on those families who are struggling. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All of that is in this one big, beautiful bill. | |
| And yes, now the House has come together and passed this bill against all odds, but we're still working on the rest of the process. | ||
| Still goes to the Senate. | ||
| Senate has a lot of work to do too. | ||
| That's why we've been talking to the Senate for a long time, but it's their turn to take this bill and move forward. | ||
| But I'll tell you, none of this would be possible without the leadership of President Trump, who every step of the way not only laid out the vision, ran a campaign on this vision, but every step of the way too said, whatever you need, let me know. | ||
| And he was there to help us. | ||
| Our great Speaker, Mike Johnson, who was never deterred, probably hasn't slept in a few days, but never wavered in his commitment to get this done. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this whole team has come together. | |
| And our WIP has never relented and never stopped pushing to get this done. | ||
| With that, I bring up our great majority whip, Tom Emmer. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| On November 5th, the American people rejected the failed policies of the Biden-Harris administration and overwhelmingly endorsed President Trump's America First Agenda. | ||
| Using his executive authority, President Trump hit the ground running on day one to deliver on the promises he made to the American people. | ||
| Today, House Republicans followed suit. | ||
| Our one big, beautiful bill fulfills the mandate for change we were given last November. | ||
| It allows President Trump to continue his successful border security and deportation operations by investing in more border patrol agents and ICE officers, funding the continuation of the border wall, and equipping our men and women on the front lines with the tools they need to keep us safe. | ||
| Not only will the one big beautiful bill help to make America safe again, it will also help to make America wealthy again. | ||
| America's economic revival has already begun under President Trump's leadership, but House Republicans back it up in this bill by making the 2017 Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating tax on tips and overtime, and throwing out regulations that burden American businesses and suffocate American innovation. | ||
| From promoting the safety and security of our great nation and giving much-needed tax relief to American families to unleashing American energy and bringing accountability to important government programs, there are wins in this bill for every corner of America. | ||
| Take this as a lesson. | ||
| Don't bet against the House Republicans. | ||
| We've shown time and time again that we deliver for the American people, especially when it matters most. | ||
| By taking hold of this historic opportunity, I truly believe we've unlocked the opportunities for generations to come. | ||
| And with that, I turn it over to our conference chair, Lisa McClare. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Well, good morning, everybody. | ||
| All right. | ||
| You've heard from the top three Republican leaders in the House of Representatives. | ||
| They're all giving credit to President Trump for getting this domestic agenda bill over the finish line in the U.S. House of Representatives. | ||
| Again, it passed 215 to 214 with one present. | ||
| Two Republicans voted against this legislation. | ||
| David Warrenson and Thomas Massey voted no. | ||
| Andy Harris, who's the chair of the Conservative House Freedom Caucus, he voted present. | ||
| Jake Sherman of Punch Bowl News also saying it was President Trump who was key to getting this bill passed in the House of Representatives this morning. | ||
| He says the entire process was stuck until President Trump got involved yesterday. | ||
| As you know, the president made a trip to Capitol Hill this week to meet with House Republicans behind closed doors and the White House yesterday putting out a statement that if anybody voted against this, any Republican who voted against it, it would be the ultimate betrayal. | ||
| We're getting your reaction to action here this morning in the House of Representatives. | ||
| They've pulled an all-nighter to get this across the finish line. | ||
| The legislation now goes to the Senate where there will be debate and a vote. | ||
| And if they can approve it there without any changes, unlikely, they will get it to the president's desk. | ||
| You heard the speaker say the deadline to get this to the president's desk is 4th of July. | ||
| Rod in Eaton, Ohio, Independent, good morning to you, Rod. | ||
| Thanks for joining us here in the Washington Journal. | ||
| Your reaction to the vote in the House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good morning, Brittany. | |
| My first reaction is I'm happy that my congressional rep, Warren Davidson, voted against it. | ||
| And secondly, the Republicans are doing the same thing the Democrats did, hang together through thick or thin, L or high water, no matter what. | ||
| Got to support the man in charge. | ||
| It's all just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. | ||
| I bet there's only a handful of the reps that even know what's contained in that thousand-plus page tome. | ||
| And there could be anything buried in there that amounted to one page, half a page, ten pages that no one even knows. | ||
| So they're just, yeah. | ||
| All right, Rod. |
