Topics
Mike Johnson: 作为众议院议长，我成功地推动了一项重要的税收和边境法案。这项法案不仅能为美国人民节省大量资金，还能削减政府开支，提高政府效率。我们致力于兑现特朗普总统的竞选承诺，并确保美国在能源和军事工业领域保持领先地位。这项法案将刺激经济增长，减少税收和监管，并鼓励美国制造业的发展。我相信，通过这些措施，我们将为企业家和就业创造者创造更多机会，提高工资水平，并最终让每个美国人的生活更加富裕。尽管面临参议院的挑战，我仍然乐观地认为，我们可以通过共同努力，最终通过这项法案，为美国经济注入新的活力。 Margaret Brennan: 作为主持人，我关注到这项法案在参议院面临的阻力，以及经济学家对关税可能抵消增长的担忧。同时，我也对法案中削减医疗补助和食品券等社会福利的条款表示关注，特别是考虑到这些削减可能对我的家乡路易斯安那州产生的影响。我希望确保这项法案在促进经济增长的同时，也能兼顾社会公平，并为所有美国人提供支持。

Shownotes Transcript

This week on Face the Nation, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start to summer, we kick it off with a hat tip to the nation's military as President Trump gives this year’s commencement speech at West Point. But as these new members of the world's most powerful military go forward, are we doing enough to support them? We talked with some veterans serving in Congress about the value of public service and honor those who've protected us. On Capitol Hill, the president's One Big Beautiful Bill squeaks through the House. What kind of impact will some of those tax and spend provisions have on Americans?  And can they survive the Senate? We ask House Speaker Mike Johnson and talk with the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Jim Himes. Some humanitarian aid is returning to Gaza after a monthslong Israeli blockade, but will it be in time -- and enough -- to help those in desperate need of food? We talk to Cindy McCain, head of the U.N.'s World Food Programme.
