Speaker Mike Johnson lays out top priories for Republican’s day 1 of a Donald Trump presidency. Speaker Johnson lays out that first, President Trump will be issuing “an executive order to secure that border. [Congress will] come behind that with legislative action to secure it, seal it up, and then we'll work on having to deal with the fallout of everybody who was allowed in, and that's a whole agenda thing. But immediately after the border secured, we go to the economy, because the cost of living is unsustainable, unaffordable, and we know how to fix it. We've done this before. Remember, we had a Trump administration, and we brought about the greatest economy in the history of the world. We learned a lot of lessons then, he learned a lot of lessons then. So we're going to do that and then some. So you're going to have an extension of the Trump era tax cuts. But the big thing, I think, and the thing I'm most excited about, is taking a blowtorch to the regulatory state, because the agencies are completely out of control. They're weaponized. The bureaucracy the federal government is too big. It does too many things, it does almost nothing well. And we have the government's boot on the neck of job creators and entrepreneurs and risk takers, and we've got to remove that. And so we can, we know how to do it, and I think that will unleash the free market again and usher in a new pro growth economy.”
