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 not as eloquent as my colleagues, but politicians voting for this bill own the consequences. American people expect us to fight, not just slow down the country's destruction. We need to pick principled fights, like stopping the border invasion. To the American people: pay attention and stop sending politicians who talk one way and vote another. I'm a strong no on this bill.

Republicans must make a decision on the strongest border bill ever, as doing nothing is not an option. The former president opposes the bill because he wants to use the border problem as a political issue against me. It is widely acknowledged that the American people want a solution that ends the ineffective political rhetoric.

6 Democrats voted against a bill because Donald Trump preferred to campaign on the problem rather than solve it. The speaker believes the American people want solutions and a president focused on fixing issues, not playing political games. The bill in question would have allowed 1,800,000 illegal immigrants into the country annually, which many conservatives opposed.

The speaker states that the promise was to put America first, and believes there are still voices in the administration, such as J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and RFK Junior, who could prevail. However, they were not persuasive in this case, but somebody was. The speaker claims that APAC, the Israeli lobby in congress, is very persuasive. The speaker observes that their colleagues' social media feeds all look the same, tweeting the same message about supporting Israel.

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.

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.

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 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 1 initially said "no more Trump" due to his January 6th conduct, but now says "yes" to Trump. Speaker 1 states that Biden-Harris policies are an existential threat to the country and its allies. Speaker 1 believes there are now many attacks on democracy that eclipse January 6th.

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.

Speaker 1 says Putin must be confronted with strength: "the velvet glove, but I think the hammer needs to come, and it needs to come immediately." He urges welcoming Zelensky to the Oval Office and, "pick up the phone, and ask, majority leader, John Thune to to immediately pass, the secondary sanctions bill that is supported by virtually everyone in the United States Senate." He calls for "the combination of engagement, but also making it clear to Putin that we are prepared to take actions, that would literally break his economy" while redoubling our commitment to Ukraine and European allies. He notes Putin's history: "Putin has made it clear that he wants to reassert the old Soviet sphere of influence, what we used to call the evil empire Mhmm. In Eastern Europe." He concludes: "Putin's not going to stop until he stopped, until he understands that there's gonna be enormous cost to Russia, and there's an unflagging commitment to defending Ukraine's sovereignty by The United States and our allies."

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.

President Biden expressed his willingness to address the border issue if Congress is committed to finding a solution. He emphasized the urgency by stating that he would close the border immediately and resolve the problem promptly if the proposed bill were already in effect. The speaker also mentioned concerns about starting another conflict and undermining the agreement.

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.

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.

parliamentarian ruled that sections of it were outside of the process that they're using to get this through. Do you think that senators should respect the decisions of the parliamentarian? And what have you personally done in the last forty eight hours to try and get Republican senators who are against the bill to a yes? 'If it's not approved, your taxes will go up by 68%. Think of that. 68, a record, the highest in the history.' 'The Democrats won't approve it only because, politically, it's so good for the Republicans.' 'They're not approving border security.' 'We've done a great job at the border, but we have to add some wall.' 'We have no money for that.' 'But if the Democrats it'll be interesting to see if we get any Democrat votes. We should.' 'If I were a Democrat, I would vote for this bill all day long because it's tax cuts and so many other things that are common sense.'
