Trump admin updates: Trump says tariff letters to be sent to 'various countries' on Monday

"It makes no difference whether our colleagues only across the chamber speak for 25 minutes or 25 hours," House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Thursday. "They can't change the truth. And today, today was about performance for some of them but today for us is about results. It's results that improve the lives of Americans, regardless of their race, religion, color or creed. It does not matter.

"

"I tell you what Ronald Reagan used to remind us: you can always trust the American people, and we do trust the American people, and they can discern the difference," he continued. "What they saw on display here today is that Democrats deliver performances and Republicans deliver results."

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday pushed back on the comments made by House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries as he touted the bill that will fund much of President Trump's agenda.

"In just a few moments, we will remind the world why the American experiment still endures today and why its best days are still ahead of us," he said. "Mr. Speaker with one big, beautiful bill, we are going to make this country stronger, safer and more prosperous than ever before, and every American is going to benefit from that."

The headline today will be the one, big beautiful bill passes the Congress. OK?" Johnson said.

Johnson claimed working Americans have "stopped trusting" Democrats and are instead looking to the Republican Party to provide relief.

"This big, beautiful bill fulfills all the promises in the America First agenda," he said. "It is the people's bill, it is made for and shaped by the most diverse coalition of American voters in American history."

Rep. Jason Smith, a Missouri Republican, stood to speak after House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

"What we just heard can be defined in one word: a bunch of hogwash," Smith said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is now speaking, saying he will be briefer than his Democratic colleague.

"Ronald Reagan said one time that no speech should be longer than 20 minutes. And unlike the Democrat leader, I'm going to honor my colleagues time and be a little more brief than that," Johnson said.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries ended his record-breaking speech by quoting John Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr.

"Dr King said that if you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl, but at all times, press on and keep pressing," he said. "And so as I take my seat, I just want to say to the American people that no matter what the outcome is, on this singular day, we're gonna press on."

"We're going to press on for our children, press on for our seniors, press on for our veterans. Press on for our unions. Press on for our farmers. Press on for our dreamers. Press on for working class Americans. Press on for the middle class. Press on for all who aspire to be part of the middle class. Press on for the poor. Press on for the sick. Press on for the afflicted. Press on for the least. Press on for the lost. Press on for the left behind. Press on for the rule of law. Press on for the American way of life. Press on for democracy. We're going to press on until victory is won," he concluded.

House Democrats, in every example, repeated back to Jeffries: "Press on."

After he finished, Democrats gave Jeffries a loud standing ovation and chanted his name.
