This Week On Capitol Hill | May 10, 2025

3 weeks ago BUDGET RECONCILIATION UPDATE: U.S. House Speaker MIKE JOHNSON (R-LA) joins us from Houston, Texas this week with the latest on GOP efforts to craft the “Big Beautiful Bill” codifying President DONALD J. TRUMP’s legislative priorities; he also notes how in only 100 days, President Trump has “slowed the growth of our national debt by 92%.” The Speaker adds that 8 of the 11 House committees have tackled issues with the bill despite Democrats “refusing to move one inch toward cooperation.” U.S. Senator LINDSEY GRAHAM (R-S.C.) warns of the need to stop—not just slow—Iran’s progress toward gaining a nuclear weapon…something that would pose a grave threat to Israel and the world. TONY PERKINS’ commentary focuses on the U.S. Debt Clock “which is spinning faster than the Rev. Al Sharpton when a TV camera clicks on.” All that plus much more on our latest edition of Salem’s THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL, releasing at 10AM Eastern Saturday on the Salem News Channel
