House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared Tuesday on a Fox News program hosted by Will Cain and criticized left-wing shifts among some Democrats. He said Republican control for the past 18 months delivered the biggest tax reduction in American history, covering gratuities, extra-hour pay and retirement benefits, while private-sector and small-firm policies plus breaks for business founders produced employment gains.

Johnson said offering no-cost items is simple yet current campaigning requires teaching younger people that a government able to supply every need can also seize those things. He added that socialist and communist trials always fail, strip liberty and conclude with pain and fatalities.
