The speaker believes there is no shortage of great ideas, but Congress lacks the courage to act. The speaker's agenda includes attempting to get Congress to act. If Congress does not act within the first 100 days of the speaker's administration, the speaker will take executive action because action is needed.

It's been only 44 days, but tonight, I'll address a point on Capitol Hill. Six weeks ago, I stood here and proclaimed the dawn of a golden age. Since then, we've taken swift action to usher in the greatest era in our country's history. Tonight, I report that America's momentum, spirit, and pride are back. America is back. Americans have given us a mandate for bold change. My administration is fighting for the future America deserves. We are draining the swamp; the days of unelected bureaucrats are over. In six weeks, I've signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken over 400 executive actions to restore common sense, safety, optimism, and wealth. Despite efforts to censor, silence, break, and destroy us, Americans are a proud, free, sovereign, and independent nation. Get ready for an incredible future because the golden age of America has only just begun.

We're winning the support of the American people, despite what the Washington establishment thinks. My Democratic colleagues prioritize bureaucracy and excessive spending over taxpayers. They favor illegal immigration over the rule of law, teachers' unions over students, criminals over victims, transgender athletes over women's sports, and Hamas over Israel. They may feel victorious within their own circles, but they're out of touch with the public. I believe the tide is turning, and the American people are on our side. We're fighting for what's right, and justice will prevail.

The people clearly voted for major government reform. This was a central campaign promise, discussed at every rally. I made it clear this is what they would receive. My presidency will deliver on that promise. Too often, people don't see their votes reflected in government action. But in this case, the people will get what they voted for – that's the essence of democracy.

My critics, including many Democrats, accuse me of orchestrating a hostile, non-transparent government takeover. However, the public clearly voted for major government reform, which is exactly what they'll get. We're committed to transparency; our actions are posted on X and our website. We're implementing simple, basic checks and balances to ensure taxpayer money is used responsibly and correctly categorized. This isn't about individual judgment calls; it's about systemic improvements. Concerns about conflicts of interest, particularly regarding my past federal contracts, are addressed through our commitment to transparency and the implemented checks and balances. All our actions are public.

A litigation working group of around 75 House members meets weekly with Attorneys General to discuss legal strategy. This happens consistently behind the scenes. There is nonstop discussion and introduction of bills and legislation. They are also consistently active on social media, navigating throttling and complex analytics.

The same Democrats who said we couldn't fix the border are now seeing border crossings down 95% in just one month. We've uncovered $100 billion in waste, Sean. Think of what we could do for suffering Americans, our schools, healthcare, and infrastructure with that money! Imagine four years of these kinds of savings once we get into the rest of the agencies. Nobody thought giving millions to Guatemalan programs was a good use of funds. The possibilities are endless, and the American people are finally seeing what's possible. We are going to unleash all of that. I couldn't be prouder of what we are doing.

We're excited about President Trump's accomplishments in just 14 days, achieving more for the American people than Joe Biden did in four years. With 300 executive actions, he's addressing our campaign promises by removing dangerous illegal aliens, securing the border, and combating terrorism. He's revitalizing American energy and eliminating DEI and gender ideology issues. It's a series of wins, and we support his use of executive authority. We plan to reinforce his agenda through legislation.

I believe we will be in a stronger position as a result. Some critics said this process was chaotic and should have been done behind closed doors, but I disagree. The American people have been mistreated behind closed doors, so I wanted to voice my complaint on the house floor. Some people said I wasted my first week, but there are days in congress where we only vote on renaming post offices or discussing voting rules. We also have a six-week summer vacation where nothing gets done. Taking four days to establish policies, procedures, and personnel for the Republican team seems like the best use of time.

We demanded specific bills, set deadlines for their consideration, and insisted on sticking to a budget resolution. Our goal was to avoid voting on massive omnibus bills. It's absurd to think that legislating involves rushing through bills that are thousands of pages long, costing trillions of dollars, with only 48 hours to review. This approach undermines the value of each member and insults our constituents. We needed a better way to govern.

The White House has to be responsive to Congress. Congress is representative of the people.

In comparing this Congress to the previous one, it is interesting to note that despite the Democrats having control over the house, senate, and presidency in the last Congress, this Congress has actually produced more bills that have become law. This increase in productivity can be attributed to some significant changes. The House has been reopened, requiring members to be present and bills to go through committees. Additionally, there is now a 72-hour period for both members and the American public to review bills. This return to a more transparent and inclusive process is seen as a positive development and a fulfillment of our commitment to the American people.

Speaker 1 discusses the importance of the Speaker of the House using the next two years to deliver the agenda for the American people and to codify President Trump's executive orders. There is growing frustration with the efficacy of getting things done on the House floor, and this is described as part of a fragile majority, with a one- to two-seat margin depending on who steps down or cannot attend votes. Speaker Johnson is encouraged to respond more to members' concerns, and there is a call to work overtime to deliver on making America affordable, making America safe, and codify President Trump's agenda. Speaker 1 notes there have been historic accomplishments, including "the one big beautiful bill, which is the largest tax cut in history specifically for New Yorkers as well as many other provisions." The frustration is described as common in coverage, and the fragility of the majority is cited as a challenge to bring bills to the floor, though they have worked through issues and will continue to do so.

I have detractors, even some Democrats? Well, I don't believe it. The criticism that I'm orchestrating a hostile takeover of government in a non-transparent way is unfounded. We have a strong mandate from the public. The people voted, giving President Trump the majority, winning the House and Senate. The people voted for major government reform. There should be no doubt; it was a key part of the campaign. That's what people are going to get. They're going to get what they voted for. In this presidency, that's exactly what will happen, and that's what democracy is all about.

One hundred days ago, President Trump promised to deliver the America First agenda. Since then, there has been swift and decisive action from the president. The first hundred days have included a secure border, safer communities, strength on the world stage, historic investments in American manufacturing, a return to common sense, and a more efficient, effective government. The American people have given the president, the House, and the Senate a sweeping mandate for bold change. America is back.

Appropriations is where the money moves in Congress. Democrats are making lives smoother through government funding. Republicans' Project 2025 is suspect, aiming to eliminate the Department of Education. This would negatively impact the environment, education, and rights. Democrats are keeping people informed.

Two months ago, the American people elected Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. We appreciate the support. It's important to love America in both victory and defeat; that’s the patriotic way. House Democrats are committed to preserving this spirit because we genuinely love our country.

We're winning the support of the American people, despite opposition from some in Washington. My Democratic colleagues prioritize bureaucracy and excessive spending over the taxpayer, illegal immigration over the rule of law, teachers unions over students, criminals over victims, transgender athletes over women's sports, and Hamas over Israel. They may feel victorious within their own circles, but they're wrong. The tide is turning; the American people are behind us, and justice will prevail. We're fighting for the right things.

The White House has to be responsive to Congress. The speaker discusses working with Democratic allies to apply pressure to the administration. The speaker also mentions appointees to top-level jobs.

We demanded specific bills, set deadlines for their consideration, and insisted on adhering to spending limits outlined in a budget resolution. Our main objective was to avoid voting on massive omnibus bills. It's absurd to think that legislating involves rushing through bills that are thousands of pages long, cost trillions of dollars, and only allow 48 hours for review. This approach undermines the value of each member and insults our constituents. We needed a better way to govern.

What matters is not which party is in power, but if the government is controlled by the people. A small group in Washington has benefited while the people have suffered. The establishment protected itself, not the citizens. This changes now.

What matters is not which party controls our government, but whether it is controlled by the people. For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has benefited from government while the people have suffered. The establishment has protected itself, neglecting the citizens. But that changes now.

We passed a continuing resolution that extends into January and February, which is significant because it disrupted the annual rush to pass a massive omnibus bill right before Christmas. Traditionally, the Senate would push a lengthy bill on the House without proper review or debate. This change is a step towards better legislative practices.

The economy was in a tailspin when this administration took over due to the mishandling of COVID by the previous administration. President Biden passed the American Rescue Plan, which helped small businesses and schools reopen. We understand that it will take time for Americans to feel the effects, but we have seen the economy improving. We had to fix the problems left by the last administration.
