The Senate leaders are heading to Kyiv with $61 billion, possibly in cash, while our border is being invaded by 800,000 illegal immigrants in the last month. They had no time or money to address the border issue, but managed to prepare the money, load the planes, and get ready for their trip to Kyiv.

Ukraine lacks ammunition, not courage. Abandoning them is un-American. House Republicans must choose: support America as a leader of the free world or side with Putin. Translation: Ukraine is not running out of courage and bravery. Ukraine is running out of ammunition. Abandoning Ukraine is to really abandon ourselves. It's simply un American. House Republicans have a choice. Stand with us to ensure America remains a leader of the free world or stand with Vladimir Putin.

The speaker proposes an amendment to stop funding Ukraine, claiming that the US has taken over the country and is fighting a proxy war without public approval. They argue that the US is providing extensive financial assistance, military equipment, and weapons to Ukraine, totaling $113 billion in 2022 alone. The speaker criticizes the state and foreign operations bill for granting Ukraine a blank check, allowing the State Department to bypass oversight. They express concern that this funding will perpetuate endless war and bring the conflict to American soil. The speaker cites polling data showing that a majority of Americans oppose further funding for Ukraine and believe the US has already done enough. They argue that taxpayer dollars should be used to secure the US southern border and combat issues like human trafficking. The speaker urges the adoption of their amendment.

We fund one third of Ukraine's government, which includes salaries for teachers, janitors, and everyone else, not just the military. Meanwhile, people in our country are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. We need to focus on our own problems instead of paying for their government. Our priority should be to stop the killing and provide American leadership, rather than giving more money without any conditions.

I just signed a $200,000,000 drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

America's strength lies in diplomacy, which we are pursuing with the current president. Russia occupied parts of Ukraine back in 2014, and despite numerous conversations and ceasefire agreements, they continued attacks. My administration is trying to prevent the destruction of your country. Everyone faces challenges during war, but you need to appreciate the support you're receiving. We've provided substantial financial and military aid. If you had to fight this war on your own, it would have been over in two weeks. Be thankful. It's important for the American people to see what's happening. Without our support, you don't have a chance. We gave you javelins, not just sheets. I have empowered you, but without us, you're vulnerable. Make a deal, or we're out. You're not acting thankful at all.

I believe Ukraine needs support in the form of weapons and fighter pilots to win the war. We should provide F-16s and training for pilots. I want Ukraine to join NATO by 2024. We should issue an invitation and provide more weapons in December to help them fight in 2025. American-made weapons are being used effectively by the Ukrainians, benefiting both countries.

The negotiation for Ukraine funding did not include a path to citizenship, which has been a failed strategy for the Democrats for 30 years. The focus should be on helping undocumented Americans in the country, but the old tactics from 2013 are no longer relevant.

When it comes to supporting Ukraine, we need to provide them with the weapons and training they need to win. Retired F-16 pilots are welcome to join the fight. I want Ukraine to be invited to join NATO in 2024. American weapons are being used effectively, and we hope to provide more support in the future.

We must not abandon Ukraine or allow NATO to weaken. It goes against our national interests and the promises we've made. We need Congress to pass funding for NATO as soon as possible.

We are actively discussing how to support Ukraine, having recently engaged with Ukrainian leadership, including President Zelensky. We have provided over $10 billion in aid, including military equipment like drones, armored vehicles, guns, and ammunition. We will continue to support Ukraine by purchasing necessary equipment on the international market. Our commitment to Ukraine is unwavering as we stand by our allies in the face of Russian aggression.

Speaker 0 expressed gratitude for the attendees and mentioned a meeting with President Zelensky, emphasizing support against Putin's invasion. They requested a clear strategy and detailed answers from the White House regarding Ukraine. Criticizing the Biden administration, they highlighted the need for oversight and a coherent plan before allocating additional funds. The speaker then shifted focus to national security, specifically the border crisis. They highlighted the high number of illegal crossings, the presence of terrorists, and the alarming amount of fentanyl entering the country. The speaker stressed the urgency of addressing these issues and reiterated the need for clarity and oversight in spending taxpayer dollars.

In 2017, the speaker pledged to fight alongside others and push the case against Russia in Washington, expressing confidence in their victory and promising to provide necessary support. Later, the speaker declared they would not vote for any aid until the U.S. border is secured and asylum/parole are reformed, claiming Democrats are unwilling to act while all Republicans are in favor. The speaker stated they will not help Ukraine until the U.S. helps itself.

The speaker questions the unconditional financial support given to Ukraine and emphasizes the need for a plan and payment for any future aid. They also mention diverting funds from Israel's arms budget. The speaker then asks if the government will be shut down and suggests that the Republican party should focus on shutting down the border as a message.

We could have used the $165 billion given to Ukraine to build 6 border walls, fix Flint's water system 215 times, give every homeless vet $2 million, and help families impacted by wildfires. HUD says $20 billion could end homelessness in America, but we sent much more. Priorities need to change.

I just signed a $200 million drawdown from the Department of Defense for Ukraine. It will be coming quickly. Thank you.

The president's bill includes support for Israel, Ukraine, the southern border, and Taiwan. It seems like a favorable bill for both Republicans and Democrats. Regarding Ukraine, the question is whether the United States should fund it at the levels proposed by President Biden. However, it's worth noting that the money allocated for the border aims to process more illegal immigrants rather than address the root of the problem, potentially worsening the situation.

Okay, so sending in offensive equipment like planes and tanks would be World War III. That being said, the US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. We have artillery, but honestly, it's not enough. We're basically out of money, so I'm sending Congress a supplemental budget request, so the Ukrainian people will be able to receive pensions and social support. This is the largest assistance package from the US to Ukraine yet: $3 billion in direct aid. The US will also send over a billion dollars in new aid, plus another $150 million in military assistance. The US locked down an additional $2 billion in military aid, and the total now stands close to $130 billion.

I am working very hard to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense with no security. Do you want to keep it going for another five years? 2,000 people are being killed every single week, or more. They're Russian young people. They're Ukrainian young people. They're not Americans, but I want it to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine by far. They've spent more buying Russian oil and gas than they have defending Ukraine.

The negotiation for Ukraine funding did not include a path to citizenship, which has been a failed strategy for the Democrats for 30 years. This strategy has not delivered for the undocumented Americans in the country.

The speaker criticizes the act of withholding Ukraine funding to push a partisan agenda on the border, stating that it is not the right approach. They emphasize the need for genuine solutions.

I would like to remind Congress that Ukraine is not part of the United States, and it is not our responsibility to defend their borders. The Department of Defense has consistently failed its audits and cannot account for over 61% of its assets. Instead of focusing on Ukraine, we should prioritize defending our own borders, as 300 Americans die every day from Fentanyl poisoning originating from China and Mexican cartels. It is crucial for Congress to understand that the American people work hard to protect our own nation, not other countries. Therefore, we should redirect our efforts towards securing our border.

The United States has been sending hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine's defense, with no end in sight, and with no security. Do you want to keep this going for another five years? Two thousand people, or more, are being killed every single week.

I believe we should support Ukraine by providing weapons and training for their pilots. We need to issue an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO in 2024. A military-centric supplemental in December will provide more American-made weapons to aid Ukraine in their fight for freedom. This support will help Ukraine in 2025.

A year ago, Putin invaded Ukraine, aiming to weaken the U.S. and challenge Western dominance. Instead, the brave Ukrainians, with our help, have decimated nearly half of Russia's military. Supporting Ukraine is in our best interest and a worthy investment. We've provided effective weapons while maintaining strict oversight. This support sends a strong message to China and ensures our own military readiness with American-made equipment. The Ukrainian heroes have defended their homeland, serving the free world. Now, we must honor our commitment and provide them with the arms they need to win.
