EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: “When we start the new Congress in January, when Republicans are in control and DOGE is on working on all six cylinders, we're going to be able to scale back the size and scope of government. But before we get to that point, remember, right now we only control one half of one third of the federal government. Remember, Democrats are still in charge of the Senate and the White House.” KILMEADE: “Right.” JOHNSON: “So what we've done is the conservative play call here, my friends that you just interviewed there or that those clips were played were part of this decision, we decided even though we don't normally like short term stopgap funding measures, it made sense here. Instead of doing, you know, Chuck Schumer-Biden spending for 2025 we pushed this decision into March. It'll be March 14th. So the feature there is that we'll have Republican controlled Congress --” KILMEADE: “Right.” JOHNSON: “-- and Trump back in the White House and we get to decide spending for 2025.”
