In case you haven’t heard, a lot is happening in Washington D.C…

House Speaker Mike Johnson stopped by Hannity Wednesday night to discuss President Trump’s first Cabinet meeting, Elon Musk’s DOGE efforts, and the battle for the budget bill currently being waged in Congress.

Johnson admits there is a lot going on at the moment.

“This is an exciting time for the country,” Johnson said. “It’s a lot to keep up with. President Trump is moving so quickly, delivering on his promises, and here in the legislative branch, we’re doing the same thing.”

Johnson also shared details on a late-night meeting with Elon Musk.

“I met with Elon late last night, talking about the latest savings he’s finding — uncovering incredible amounts of fraud and abuse across the federal government, doing the job that Congress has been unable to do for decades because bureaucrats have been hiding the data,” Johnson said. “He’s cracked the code — he’s on the inside of the belly of the beast of the bureaucracy now, with the algorithms crawling through the data — and the data doesn’t lie,” Johnson added.

Johnson also confirmed a meeting with President Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

“There is no daylight between The White House, the Senate, and the House,” Johnson said.

The Speaker also discussed the battle for the budget bill and more.
