We're going to cut off the funding streams to Iran. We can't continue to have a hundred hostages, including Israelis and Americans, held captive by Hamas and Hezbollah, who are essentially mercenaries of Iran. America needs to recognize the importance of our alliance with Israel, ensure the safe return of all Israeli hostages, and reaffirm our unwavering support for Israel as our top ally.

Iran is a destabilizing force in the Middle East, as demonstrated by the attack on Israel. The speaker was in the situation room with President Biden, monitoring the attack and ensuring the protection of US personnel. The speaker supports President Biden's order for the US military to shoot down Iranian missiles targeting Israel. Initial indications are that Israel, with US assistance, defeated the attack. Joint defenses were effective, saving many innocent lives. The speaker will ensure Israel can defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist militias, and their commitment to Israel's security is unwavering. Iran is a threat to American personnel, interests, and innocent civilians. The US will take action to defend against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists and will work with allies to disrupt Iran's aggressive behavior and hold them accountable.

The speaker expresses gratitude and acknowledges individuals, including Alex Steve and Senator Tony Schrader. He recalls being selected as the vice-presidential running mate the morning of the GOP convention. He believes divine intervention prevented a tragedy. He praises the president's instincts about people, citing the handling of the Israel-Iran situation and a successful attack that destroyed the Iranian nuclear facility. He highlights generational tax reform that also replenishes southern border funding to stop illegal immigration. The speaker emphasizes the administration's success in national security, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear weapons. He notes the president's stance against foreign countries taking advantage of the U.S., advocating for tariffs. He reports a significant decrease in illegal border crossings. He mentions wage growth being the highest in sixty years for working and middle-class people and inflation numbers coming in below expectation. He shares an anecdote about a woman struggling with grocery prices and concerns about the education system. He states they are creating a country where the American dream is alive.

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.

The "Defund the Taliban" bill passed unanimously in the House. The speaker thanks supporters for their help during the year-long journey. The bill will now go to the Senate, where Senators Hagerty, Blackburn, Sheehy, and Tuberville are expected to support it. The speaker encourages people to address their concerns to the Senate to get the bill passed. The bill aims to stop the estimated $40,000,000 a week, or over $5,000,000,000 total, of U.S. tax dollars that have allegedly gone to the Taliban.

The America First agenda is going up in smoke as Congress prepares to vote for a continuing resolution, funding the government through September. This resolution continues funding USAID and Israel, with no money for border security. It's business as usual, with endless continuing resolutions that never improve things for Americans. While most Republicans fall in line, Congressman Thomas Massey is refusing to vote for this "scam," opposing sending money overseas to those who hate us. Trump is now trying to find a primary opponent to challenge Massey, criticizing him for being against the continuing resolution. However, Massey has been a budget hawk for years and notably takes no money from AIPAC. He's standing up against the Israel-first agenda that Trump and many others in Washington support.

In Jerusalem, the speaker expresses gratitude to APAC: “Thank you APAC. Thank you for standing with Israel. Thank you for standing with the American Israeli alliance. And thank you for standing up for the truth.” He acknowledges the difficult environment, noting a “tsunami of lies, vilifications vituperations” reminiscent of the worst anti-Semitic attacks in history, and says Jewish communities, including the American Jewish community and others, have suffered slurs and murderous attacks—“so did we in Israel.” Regarding October 7, he states that the attack was “meant to destroy us, to wipe Israel off the map.” He identifies the Iran Axis as the aggressor, saying Iran’s proxies sought to annihilate the Jewish people and that Iran sought to annihilate the Jewish state. Over the past two years since October 7, he asserts that they have rolled back that threat, fighting a seven-front war against the axis of evil. With the courage of Israeli soldiers and with American help, he says they battered Hamas, hammered Hezbollah, helped bring down the murderous Assad regime, struck the Houthis, attacked pro-Iranian militias, and also attacked Iran itself. He credits American assistance for rolling back Iran’s nuclear bomb program and its ballistic missile threat, noting that the axis has been greatly weakened but is still there, “slicking its wounds.” He praises President Donald J. Trump for efforts to ensure that those threats against both countries do not reappear, stating, “We have never had a greater friend in the White House than President Donald J. Trump.” He emphasizes his value of support from Americans “from both sides of the aisle,” while acknowledging it has been difficult for some, and respecting their courage and honesty in standing up against colleagues who sometimes bow their head to anti-Semitism. In closing, he salutes those who stand against anti-Semitism and stands with APAC in acknowledging the ongoing alliance and shared truths between the United States and Israel.

I recorded a video after leaving the house floor, but it didn't go well. I voted against the bill because we had agreed on separate bills, yet everything was combined. It included $5.7 billion for submarines, $100 million for the Coast Guard, and funding for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which seems unnecessary since the barge that hit it was insured. The $100 million for disaster relief raises questions about its allocation. We don't trust this administration with funds, especially after recent aid to Ecuador and Ukraine without our input. It's just a continuation of poor spending policies. Interestingly, many Democrats who opposed it ended up voting for it, which feels misleading. Despite this, the government remains open. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends. Thank you for your support.

- The speakers criticize a new funding bill as a bloated, bipartisan package totaling over $1.7 trillion, arguing it represents a “middle finger” to American taxpayers and funds more than merely keeping the lights on. They claim both parties supported it, eliminating any real fiscal fight. - They highlight a provision referred to as health care extenders on page 772, noting that temporary pandemic expansions in health and welfare programs are now baked in as permanent costs for taxpayers. This is presented as evidence that eligibility expansions for Medicare are being locked in. - They point to Israel-related spending buried within the bill, noting provisions allocating hundreds of millions of dollars for Israeli missile defense programs, including the Iron Dome, on page 101 of the 1,059-page bill. They argue that funding the U.S. government is linked to funding a foreign defense system, and that this represents corporate welfare for well-connected interests in Washington. - The discussion asserts that Ukraine-related funding is not explicitly in the bill as written, but that money may still be funneled through contractors or other channels. They question whether there will be a final victory lap on supposedly winding down Ukraine aid, suggesting money remains flowing covertly. - They discuss the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and USAID, noting that money for NED remained in the bill despite amendments to cut funding. They describe NED as a non-partisan tool that has supported regime-change activities, including actions in Iran and Venezuela, and criticize both parties for preserving this funding. - They critique the consolidation of aid into the State Department, specifically via USAID under Marco Rubio, arguing that oversight has weakened and that funding is redirected for various foreign policy aims (e.g., Venezuela, Cuba, Iran). They discuss the influence of Rubio on where funds go and describe the arrangement as increasing executive-led control with limited transparency. - They argue that the bill reflects a broader pattern of government spending: a so-called “uni-party” consensus that avoids reducing government size, with both parties acting in lockstep on foreign and domestic priorities. - The conversation touches on public opinion, citing a Gallup poll that suggests younger generations despise both major parties, and they link this to perceived bipartisan over-spending and interventionism. - Throughout, the viewers criticize what they see as a routine of declaring emergencies and then normalizing permanent programs, suggesting that emergency measures become permanent and that the political system uses crisis rhetoric to justify ongoing expenditure. - The discussion ends with remarks on political leadership, labeling Speaker Johnson as a weak figure and coining a proposed “fuck it party” as a first-principles anti-war alternative, with participants noting they would join or support it. Daniel McAdams provided expert commentary throughout.

Following President Trump's warning and a 60-day deadline to Iran, Israel retaliated with an airstrike, reportedly neutralizing top Iranian military commanders. This action follows concerns about the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood and the funding of Iranian proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah, who are allegedly inciting violence in the US. The speaker has been advocating for the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, an initiative that was unsuccessful during Trump's first term despite promises. Steve Bannon reportedly struggled to achieve this designation. Recently, the speaker has been meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and there have been developments, including Congresswoman Nancy Mace filing a bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Democrat Congressman Jared Moskowitz has also called for investigating and designating the group. While there is bipartisan support, some Democrats, including Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, are not supporting the designation.

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 speaker states unwavering support for Israel and its right to protect its sovereignty, referencing a visit to Israel during the war, including a kibbutz and the site of a music festival. The speaker claims devastation and true genocide began at the kibbutz on October 7th. The speaker accuses the Obama and Biden administrations of pandering to Iran by approving significant financial packages, which allegedly enabled Iran to build an arsenal and create seven proxies threatening the Middle East. The speaker suggests that Iran's actions threaten Israel, a small country of 9,000,000 people. The speaker concludes there will never be a two-state solution because one side will try to decimate the other.

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.

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 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.

We're going to cut off the funding streams to Iran. This action aims to resolve the hostage situation involving Israelis, Americans, and others held by Hamas and Hezbollah, who are essentially mercenaries of Iran. It's time for America to recognize the importance of Israel, secure the release of the Israeli hostages, and reaffirm our commitment to standing by Israel, our most important ally.

“Off the machinery that feeds money into Iran.” The speaker advocates stopping the flow of money to Iran. “We will no longer have a 100 hostages still in captivity, Israeli and American and otherwise, by Hamas and Iran's Hezbollah mercenary forces.” “We need America to wake up and prioritize Israel and bring home Israelis and make sure we stand by our number one ally in” The speaker urges the United States to prioritize Israel and secure the return of Israelis, reaffirming support for its top ally. The statements call for halting funding to Iran, freeing hostages, and ensuring unwavering US backing for Israel.

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.

Speaker 1 emphasizes the importance of a bipartisan bill that has been negotiated for four months. They highlight the significance of aiding Ukraine to prevent Putin from taking over, supporting Israel against Hamas, providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza, and addressing the chaos at the border. Speaker 1 praises Mitch McConnell for his efforts but criticizes Republicans, including Speaker Johnson, for being afraid of Donald Trump. They argue that many Republican senators know the bill is necessary but are hesitant due to political reasons. Speaker 1 urges senators to prioritize the well-being of America over political noise and emphasizes that history is watching their actions.

The Republicans are currently voting on amendments for funding bills, and it's crucial that they come to an agreement to avoid a government shutdown. This disagreement is essentially between the hard right and the even harder right within the GOP. Unfortunately, under Kevin McCarthy's leadership, it seems difficult to govern. However, it's important that they find a way to keep the government running because ordinary Americans will suffer if they don't. There's a bipartisan continuing resolution supported by both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, and I hope the House will have the opportunity to vote on it and work together in a bipartisan manner.

The speaker mentions that the issue at hand was bound to affect local neighborhoods. They express gratitude towards the Secretary of Homeland Security for having someone embedded. The speaker emphasizes the importance of controlling the border, declaring a state of emergency, and providing adequate funding to address the national crisis.

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.

I hope someone can get enough votes to become Speaker of the House. The recent funding bill doesn't address border security, funds abortion and DEI, and promotes trans ideology to young kids. We need real leadership to restore safety and security for all Americans. I'm ready to fight for victory in the upcoming election to bring greatness back to our country, which is currently lacking under the Democrats and Biden administration.

Speaker 0: I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. Iran's nuclear ambitions, they are officially dead. President Trump took the most unsecured border we've ever seen and secured it in seven weeks. Speaker 1: President Trump's big beautiful bill has passed in the house. It is going to be a colossal help to the American people. Speaker 0: I believe I was saved by God to make America great again.

The speaker states the goal is to cut off the flow of money to Iran. They claim this action will lead to the release of hostages, including Israeli and American citizens, held by Hamas and Hezbollah. The speaker urges America to prioritize its relationship with Israel and work towards bringing the hostages home. They emphasize the importance of standing by Israel as America's top ally.
