The speaker discusses the ongoing crisis at the southern border and criticizes the Biden administration for its handling of the situation. They highlight the overwhelming number of illegal immigrants entering the country and the negative impact it has on American communities. The speaker also emphasizes the dangers posed by drug trafficking and the potential for terrorists to enter undetected. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens. The speaker mentions several bills being considered to address the issue and criticizes the reported deal in the Senate, arguing that it does not include the necessary policy changes to solve the crisis. They conclude by questioning President Biden's commitment to border security and the rule of law.

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.

I'm glad to be working with you all to make this deal happen. The Ukrainian people on both sides are trying to stop a world war. We need to provide you with weaponry because Russia is not a threat and has always hated us. I'm trying to make a deal here, so whose side are you on? We're about action, not empty words. Diplomacy is what makes America strong. We had a ceasefire, but it was broken. I believe you should be grateful and not act disrespectfully. You were campaigning on the other side, but now you're on the right side, so you should be thankful. We're getting you $350 million, and without us, this would be over quickly. We had a ceasefire, but you're not listening. We've been helping you destroy tanks, while others have only given you sheets. Wars don't happen under my watch. Now, let's get some lunch, and then we'll sign the papers. Do you have your pen?

Since Biden took office, the U.S. has spent $100 billion in an undeclared war against Russia, primarily funding Ukraine with $75 billion. Despite claims of Ukrainian victories, many believe Ukraine cannot win against Russia's superior resources. Most Americans oppose further funding, yet Congress continues to push for more aid. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson plans to prioritize a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, despite a lack of support from Republican voters. Critics argue that this funding diverts attention from pressing domestic issues, like illegal immigration and national debt. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasizes the disconnect between lawmakers and their constituents, urging Americans to hold their government accountable and prioritize domestic needs over foreign wars.

Speaker 1 updates that the aid for Ukraine is being voted on in the House of Representatives and will likely pass. The next step is the Senate vote, expected early next week. They express support and admiration for Ukraine's bravery. The administration is preparing weapons and equipment to send quickly. Speaker 0 thanks Speaker 1 for the support and inspiration. They end with well wishes. "Slava, Ukraine."

The speaker expresses concern about the potential consequences of allowing Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine, suggesting it could embolden China to make a move on Taiwan. They emphasize the need for transparency and accountability in how money is spent and advocate for auditing the funds already sent to Ukraine. The speaker asserts the importance of standing with Israel as a key ally in the Middle East. They hope that military intervention can be avoided but highlight the legislative branch's authority in approving such actions. The speaker also discusses the threats faced by Israel and expresses confidence in Prime Minister Netanyahu's determination to protect the country. They highlight the connection between Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Russia, and China, referring to it as a new axis of evil. The speaker concludes by affirming the House's support for Israel.

President Biden and the speaker are working to finalize a hostage and ceasefire deal regarding the war in Gaza. The speaker stated they will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself and ensure Israel has the ability to do so. The speaker believes the people of Israel must never again face the horror of October 7th caused by Hamas.

Speaker 0 expresses the urgency of securing the border and standing up for the American people. He shares a story of a constituent who feels abandoned by the government. He emphasizes the need for border security before discussing other issues like Ukraine. Speaker 0 highlights the importance of passing HR 2 with necessary fixes and ensuring the safety of unaccompanied children. He criticizes the lack of spending restraint and calls for actual cuts in spending. Speaker 0 urges Republicans to prioritize the American people over political agendas and suggests staying in Washington to address these issues.

The speaker aims to clarify the situation regarding the Senate bill and HR 2. Upon the Senate bill's release, House members, including the speaker, deemed it unacceptable due to its failure to secure the southern border. House Republicans had previously passed HR 2, border security measures, over a year prior. Chuck Schumer has not brought it up for debate or a vote in the Senate. The White House has not contacted Speaker Johnson to negotiate or compromise on HR 2. The speaker states that House Republicans opposed the Senate bill before Donald Trump voiced his opinion, considering it a "trash bill."

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.

There is a crisis happening in the world and we need to be strong. The Middle East and Eastern Europe are facing turmoil and violence. The Indo Pacific is also becoming more tense. We need strong leadership in this situation. Our ally, Israel, is under attack and we need to support them. We will bring a bill to the floor to show our support. We want to demonstrate to the world that the actions of Hamas are barbaric and wrong. We stand for what is good in this conflict.

The American people should be proud of their support for Ukraine. We will continue supplying Ukraine with critical weapons and equipment, including $200 million that I just approved. However, without additional funding, our ability to help Ukraine respond to urgent demands is coming to an end. We need Ukraine to fix its broken immigration system, and Congress needs to do the same at home. Holding Ukraine funding hostage to push a partisan agenda on the border is not the solution. We need real solutions.

We will soon vote on providing military weapons to Ukraine, which is the most crucial vote we will ever take as US senators.

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.

The world is facing an extraordinary crisis, with turmoil and violence in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific. Strong leadership is needed now. Our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, is under attack. The first bill I will bring to the floor will support our friend Israel. We're overdue in getting this done. We must show Israel, and the entire world, that the barbarism of Hamas is wretched and wrong. We will stand for the good in this conflict.

This wouldn't have passed without Donald Trump. Thanks to the house speaker and Hakeem Jeffries for bipartisan efforts in giving weapons to Ukraine. Trump's contribution gives us leverage for the future.

Speaker 0 criticizes the hypocrisy of the speech, accusing President Joe Biden of warmongering by allocating $100 billion in funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine. Speaker 1 interrupts, urging Speaker 0 to sit down and accusing them of disrupting the conversation. Speaker 0 argues that the American people's voices should be heard, claiming that the president and Speaker 1 do not represent them. Speaker 1 dismisses Speaker 0's opinion and asks them to stop speaking. The argument continues with Speaker 0 mentioning historical events involving John Foster Dulles and the Pinochet regime. Speaker 1 tries to move on and discusses Uganda's anti-LGBT laws. Speaker 0 emphasizes that the issue is not about Israel or Palestine but about war. The conversation ends with Speaker 1 telling Speaker 0 to leave.

Speaker 1 describes four months of arduous negotiations to produce a bipartisan bill, noting there were many times negotiations derailed and that he stayed on the phone at midnight to keep them moving. He argues the bill is crucial and a turning point for America, outlining the stakes across several flashpoints. First, he asserts that if the U.S. does not aid Ukraine, Putin will walk over Ukraine, the war could be lost, and the U.S. could find itself fighting in Eastern Europe as a NATO ally in a few years, a scenario Americans would not like. Second, he says if the U.S. does not help Israel defend itself against Hamas, the perpetual war will continue. Third, he claims humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians in Gaza is essential to prevent hundreds of thousands from starving. Fourth, he mentions the border crisis, referencing statements from Speaker Johnson that it is chaos, and asserts legislative action is needed. Speaker 1 credits Mitch McConnell for his contributions, but contrasts him with others, including Speaker Johnson, who he says are "scared to death of Donald Trump." He contends Trump has called for chaos and suggested that if he becomes president, Ukraine could be gone, the border could worsen, and war in the Middle East could escalate. He argues Trump’s stance is political rather than policy-driven and asserts that the majority of Republican senators recognize the bill as the right thing to do. He emphasizes the bill as a compromise—describing it as something he does not like in full, nor does McConnell, but necessary to accomplish important outcomes in the Senate. He recalls bipartisan legislation from two years prior as proof such collaboration is possible. The core question he poses is whether senators will drown out the political noise from Trump and his allies and do the right thing for America. Speaker 1 frames the bill as a turning point in American policy and history, asking whether history will look back and see that they rose to the occasion. He asserts that the majority of Republican senators understand the bill’s necessity, despite political headwinds, and he casts passage as essential to addressing Ukraine, Israel, Gaza humanitarian needs, and border stability. Speaker 1 ends by reiterating that history is watching their decisions at this moment.

The speaker criticizes a bill that prioritizes Ukraine over America, arguing that it neglects pressing issues such as border security and rising costs for American families. They express frustration with the lack of debate and amendment opportunities in the Senate, emphasizing the need for individual members to have more influence. The speaker also highlights the Biden administration's actions that have contributed to the current border crisis, including reversing Trump-era policies and not enforcing immigration laws. They criticize the administration's energy policy and its impact on US relations with Russia. The speaker concludes by expressing concerns about the allocation of foreign aid and the neglect of American priorities.

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.

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.

Earlier today, military officers were warned about the potential consequences of unresolved issues on Capitol Hill. It was emphasized that if Republicans in the Senate do not show seriousness in finalizing a national security agreement, Vladimir Putin could take advantage and advance through Ukraine and Europe. Both parties acknowledge the importance of aiding Ukraine and resisting Putin for national security. However, Republicans are holding up progress due to unrealistic demands on border security. Democrats are willing to find a compromise, but if Republicans continue to insist on Donald Trump's border policies, they will be responsible for the failure of agreements on aid to Ukraine, Israel, and humanitarian aid to Gaza. It is crucial for Republicans to show willingness to moderate and reach a reasonable bipartisan compromise.

Speaker 0 criticizes the hypocrisy of the speech and accuses President Joe Biden of warmongering by allocating $100 billion in funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine. Speaker 1 tries to dismiss Speaker 0's comments and suggests having a conversation later. Speaker 0 insists that the American people's voices need to be heard and accuses the president of not representing them. Speaker 1 argues that Speaker 0's opinion is not the voice of the American people. The argument escalates, with Speaker 0 claiming it is free speech and Speaker 1 disagreeing. The discussion becomes heated, with Speaker 0 mentioning historical events and Speaker 1 dismissing them. The conversation ends abruptly, with Speaker 0 inviting Speaker 1 to continue outside.

We are facing an extraordinary crisis, and the world needs us to be strong. Turmoil and violence are happening in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, and tensions are rising in the Indo-Pacific. Our nation needs strong leadership, and we must stand firm. Our greatest ally in the Middle East is under attack. The first bill I will bring to the floor will support our friend Israel. It's time to get this done and show Israel and the world that the barbarism of Hamas is wretched and wrong. We will stand for the good in this conflict.

Vote to elect a speaker of the house. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise are principled conservatives. With ongoing conflicts in Eastern Europe, a major attack on Israel, economic challenges, and a border crisis, the American people want the Republican conference to unite, elect a speaker, and get back to work. However, Speaker 1 questions Jim Jordan's suitability due to a text he sent on January 5th, suggesting a violation of the constitution to block the election certification. Speaker 0 defends Jordan's integrity, unaware of his opinion on January 6th. Despite differing views on constitutional duties, Speaker 0 believes Jordan would lead with integrity and emphasizes the need for Republican unity in electing a speaker.
