| For Immediate Release June 26, 2024 Contact: Taylor Haulsee “President Trump is going to lay out a very clear vision for the country, a very positive one, and I think that’s going to be a stark contrast with the Biden record.” WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson joined CNBC’s Squawk Box this morning to discuss the GOP’s 2025 agenda, what he expects to see on the Presidential debate stage, and the failures of the Biden Administration. Click here watch the full interview On improving the economy: I think the principles are going to guide us and what that means is generally to spur economic growth, you’ve got to allow job creators and innovators and risk takers the people, you know, small businesses and the large companies as well to be able to grow and expand and how you do that is you get the regulatory burden off their backs. I mean, Joe Biden’s administration has weaponized the agencies,truly. I mean, almost every industry I mentioned, I’m traveling around the country. I’m talking to not just the fortune 500 executives, but small business owners at all levels of the economy. And I’ve sat down across the table with people who are fourth generation family businesses that are that are almost closing them now. And they say it with tears in their eyes, they cannot survive the regulatory onslaught. So if you get government out of the way and you allow this to flourish, but there may be a little bit of pain in the front end, but I think you can spur on economic growth, and that’s what’s going to get us out of it. But I’m telling you look in the House, in the Senate, the Republicans will be serious about not just cutting taxes, but cutting spending. That’s the that’s the really important thing here. Spending has exploded in recent years and certainly under President Biden. On President Biden’s record of failure: I mean, we’ve been everywhere blue states, swing districts, red states all across the country, doesn’t matter where we are. This same sentiment is expressed. People are fed up. They’re fed up with a cost of living they cannot stay ahead, they can’t keep afloat because no matter how hard they work, the inflation rate and everything else is just crushing hardworking families. Then you got the rising crime rates. You got the weakness on the world stage, all these things that make us unsettled and of course, the open border and everybody feels that acutely and they’re ready for a change. On Thursday’s debate: I spent time with President Trump last week and I can tell you what: he’s excited about this debate. He’s ready to get on that stage and I think the reason he accepted the terms so quickly is because he had just said a couple of days before, anytime, anywhere, Joe, you know. So to his credit, look, you can tie him up, you can put one arm behind his back. I mean, it’s not going to make a difference. President Trump, I think is going to lay out a very clear vision for the country, a very positive one and I think that’s going to be a stark, stark contrast with the Biden record. You know, the interesting thing about both of these men is they both have been president so everybody can put the rhetoric aside the talking points aside, they can evaluate how their life is under Joe Biden and how it was under Donald Trump and I think everybody in every demographic and every state in the country, if they look at it objectively, I think they’re they’re going to say they were doing much, much better under President Trump. ### |
