Speaker Mike Johnson was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.Speaker Johnson also talked about President Trump’s America First agenda, which included making housing more affordable and passing the SAVE America Act to secure federal elections.“Coming to you live from the US Capitol, celebrating America’s upcoming 250th birthday on July 4th,” Bartiromo said.“Congress itself was established on March 4th, 1789, with the ratification of the US Constitution,” Bartiromo said.“Today, almost 250 years later to the date, the United States is the beacon of the free world, the superpower economically and militarily, defending freedom across the globe,” Bartiromo continued.“Mr. Speaker, great to have you this morning, welcome,” Bartiromo said.“This truly is a very happy birthday celebration, as you noted at the outset. This is going to be an exciting week across our country, celebrating the greatest nation in the history of the world. It’s not even close,” Johnson said.“As you noted, the most free, and most successful, most powerful, most benevolent nation that has ever been, and it is our responsibility to steward that grand experiment in self-governance,” Johnson said.“Let’s talk about where we’ve come from, and what the Founders envisioned In God We Trust, freedom, and liberty. How do you assess the last 250 years? Tell us where we are coming from first,” Bartiromo asked.“The experiment in self-governance has been a tremendous success, and the reason is because we are built upon these very firm foundations. This didn’t happen by happenstance. It’s because the Founders studied and prayed and put together a matchless Constitution, a system of government that followed frankly, the admonitions of scripture,” Johnson continued.“I want to talk a little about where we are going. You are managing lots of different personalities in the Congress. You have a small margin to actually get the President’s agenda passed. You had a rare bipartisan win with the housing bill but of course now we are seeing that held up because of the President’s threats to not sign it because he wants the SAVE America bill attached. What are you going to do about it?” Bartiromo asked.“Well, I met with the President for a few hours on Thursday in the Oval Office and we talked about it in great detail. The housing bill really is a Republican priority because it will lower housing costs,” Johnson said.“The President and I talked about that at length. Of course, he wants to do all those things,” Johnson said.Speaker Johnson also discussed the SAVE America Act and explained that the intention is to put it on a reconciliation bill to help it pass easier.“We passed it three times in the House already. We’re going to pass it again, and this time we are gonna try to put it on a reconciliation bill, and the reason that is so important Maria as you know, is that it prevents the necessity of 60 votes in the Senate. The Democrats want no part of this,” Johnson continued.Watch:Today, exclusively on @SundayFutures with @MariaBartiromo, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) @SpeakerJohnson spoke about America celebrating its 250th anniversary. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/3LKb1xAXec— SundayMorningFutures (@SundayFutures) June 28, 2026The post Speaker Mike Johnson on Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of The United States of America – (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
