"This is political theater. I'm gonna call out both sides right here. It's all posturing. It's fake fighting." "We all know where it ends up. This is Groundhog Day." "We always get a c r in September, and then we get an omnibus." "We might get the omnibus before Christmas, but if we're not good, it comes after Christmas." "We should have done 12 separate bills." "But, again, whether Democrats are in control or Republicans are in control, we never do the 12 separate bills." "It's because Democrats wanna grow the welfare state, and republicans wanna grow the military industrial complex." "I guarantee it."

We're committed to running the federal government like a business. Our focus is on efficient spending—money in, money out—prioritizing what truly advances America's interests. Anything else is just fear-mongering from the left, a tactic used because they lack a real message. Their claims are unfounded.

I oppose the continuing resolution (CR) authored by Byron Donald. It continues the Ukraine policy negotiated by Speaker Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, which conservatives were against. The CR allows Jack Smith to continue election interference and silences the former president and leading contender for the Republican nomination. It abandons the principle of reviewing single subject spending bills, which is necessary to save the country and hold agencies accountable for their budgets. We cannot sustain two trillion-dollar deficits on top of a $33 trillion debt. A mere 8% cut over 30 days without programmatic reform is an insult to the principles we fought for in January.

Republicans just passed a bill that eliminates taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. Yet, Democrats voted against it. The same Democrats who opposed giving you back $5,000 of your own money are now blocking this tax relief. And despite this, you're mad at me? You're still going to vote for them after they do things like this. You're really mad at me?

The speaker points out that the claim made by the White House about the impact of a bill on border patrol and veterans benefits is false, as the bill had no appropriations and the members of Congress who put it together vowed it wouldn't affect funding. The speaker questions whether voters can distinguish between truth and spin and finds it insulting to keep repeating false statements. The speaker then highlights that the bill touted by House Republicans would have eliminated 2,000 border patrol agents, causing obstruction in dealing with border issues. The speaker appreciates the bipartisan conversation with Senate Republicans and Democrats on the border, as House Republicans have hindered progress.

Republicans are playing political games with censure resolutions because they're failing. Trump promised lower grocery prices, but they're rising. The stock market is falling, and inflation is up. Trump and House Republicans are crashing the economy. They haven't proposed any measures to improve the economic circumstances of Americans. This resolution is a distraction from their failures. House Democrats will focus on issues that matter to Americans. Every House Democrat voted against the reckless Republican budget. We stand with Medicaid and the American people, while Republicans side with their billionaire puppet masters like Elon Musk.

The speaker criticizes both parties for engaging in "political theater" with the annual budget process, resulting in continuing resolutions (CR) and omnibus bills. They claim that Democrats want to expand the welfare state, while Republicans want to expand the military-industrial complex, leading to increased spending regardless of which party is in power. The speaker highlights alleged lies and overreach by various government agencies, which they claim are consistently funded despite Republican opposition. They point out that a proposed 1% cut to spending, tied to a previous debt limit increase, is avoided by the speaker's choice of a 6-month CR. The speaker also dismisses the "SAVE Act" attached to the CR as a "bright shiny object" designed to excite Republicans, predicting it will be removed and never become law. They urge Republicans to fight for the Act, forcing Democrats to publicly support allowing "illegals to vote," but ultimately believes the CR will pass without it.

We're committed to streamlining the federal government, just like running a business. We're carefully reviewing every expense to ensure we're only spending on what truly benefits America. That's our focus. Any claims to the contrary are simply scare tactics from the left, who lack a coherent message and are, frankly, out of touch with reality.

Here's the truth about what's happening in Congress: it's political theater, a repetitive cycle leading to a continuing resolution (CR) and then an omnibus bill, regardless of which party is in control. We never address the real issues, like reining in spending or cutting wasteful programs. Democrats want to expand the welfare state, and Republicans want to grow the military-industrial complex, and bureaucrats are being allowed to run wild. This CR is a six-month extension, strategically avoiding automatic cuts. The "SAVE Act" attached to it is just a shiny object, a false promise meant to appease Republicans before it disappears. We need to stop funding things we claim to oppose and address our spending addiction. I refuse to participate in this charade any longer.

I made it clear to the President that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. Poor people depend on it for their healthcare. His budget calls for deep cuts to Medicaid, and he needs to protect it. We need to raise the cap on Social Security and protect Medicare. These are vital safety net programs. I'm willing to accept any punishment for speaking out, because it's worth it to stand against the President's desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. This is about people losing their healthcare in the richest country in the world. Healthcare has become wealth care, and we can't let that happen. I'm also working on articles of impeachment. This President is unfit for office with 34 felony convictions and two impeachments. He has no mandate to cut Medicaid.

Congressman Massey claims the House's current CR fight is fake, alleging Speaker Johnson made a deal with Senate Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries for its passage after Republicans leave town. Massey questions why they'd leave if its Senate passage was uncertain, and says Democrats have a retreat scheduled. He says Johnson is circumventing a prior agreement for a 1% spending cut on CRs past April 30, calling it disingenuous. Massey says he's only voted for CRs with substantial cuts, like an 8% cut he supported under McCarthy that didn't pass. He advocates for twelve separate bills instead of CRs. Massey argues this CR extends Biden's spending levels and criticizes the repeated delays in addressing spending. He urges honoring the 1% cut and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. He concludes he will vote no.

"We have to realize the democrats, their whole argument is we are going to shut down the government unless you give a trillion dollars for medical benefits for illegal aliens." "And they're saying that unless you give that money to those legal aliens, unless you give those benefits to those illegal aliens, we are going to shut down the people's government." "It's such a stark contrast between two parties priorities." "We want to put the government to work for the American people first." "We're not gonna be taken hostage by the Democrats' desperate desire to give your tax money to illegal aliens." "We're just not gonna do it."

Speaker 0 asks Joe if he has ever been on the Senate floor and talked about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and veterans' programs. Joe denies ever saying that. Speaker 0 insists that Joe has made those statements multiple times, but Joe continues to deny it. Joe claims that he meant everything was on the table for discussion, but he did not support those specific cuts. Speaker 0 challenges Joe to watch videos on YouTube where he made those statements.

The speaker believes American people are tired of lies in Washington D.C. and fake fights. They cite a vote on July 10th that now requires voting for a continuing resolution that continues the Biden administration's budget, including the Green New Deal. The speaker believes this is absurd and will frustrate the Republican base, who are tired of being lied to, especially with the November 5th election approaching. Creating a fake fight could cause Republicans to lose the House. The speaker suggests being honest about aligning with Democrats, rather than pretending to fight for spending reduction. They are unlikely to participate in a fake fight but are open to a real one. The speaker believes the Speaker needs to be honest with President Trump about plans for September 30th, which they don't believe has been the case.

The speaker asserts that people will suffer due to an unspecified action. They state that fraud is a crime and claim there have been no referrals to the Justice Department in any instance. When questioned on this, the speaker initially denies being asked a question, then confirms that there have been referrals for fraud. The speaker then claims that billions of dollars were given to people for no reason and pivots to what they consider one of the biggest achievements of the first term.

Good morning, everyone. I want to address Bernie Sanders' recent criticism regarding Social Security. He tweeted that one of us has fought to cut Social Security, referencing a 1995 statement of mine about freezing federal spending, including Social Security. However, that context is often overlooked. I was focused on preventing a government shutdown, not cutting benefits. It's surprising to revisit statements from decades ago, especially when they are taken out of context. Throughout my career, I've consistently supported Social Security. I worked with other Democrats to ensure its solvency during the Reagan years. Our obligation is to protect the youngest and oldest among us, and I have never wavered in that commitment.

Speaker 0 questions Joe about cutting Social Security, Medicare, and veterans programs. Joe denies supporting these cuts, claiming everything was on the table but they were not implemented. Speaker 0 challenges Joe to be honest, citing past statements. Joe insists he did not support the cuts. Speaker 0 urges people to check YouTube for evidence of Joe's previous statements. Joe defends his position, stating he did not cut Social Security or veterans programs. Speaker 0 expresses surprise at Joe's denial.

Day two of the "Democrat shutdown." 44 Senate Democrats voted to reject the "completely nonpartisan, completely clean, very simple 24 page continuing resolution" the House passed two weeks ago, instead of keeping the government open for seven weeks. Republicans say they moved in good faith: 12 appropriations bills passed by committees, the Senate and House have acted, and a conference committee finalized. With a September 30 deadline, the clean CR would allow more time for negotiations. Democrats filed a counter proposal described as a "wild list of partisan priorities," including "a half a billion dollars to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting" and removing the "rural hospital fund," while "repealing the health provisions of the one big beautiful bill," "ending Obamacare funding for noncitizens," and "Medicaid funding for those improperly granted asylum and parole." They claim at least "$200,000,000,000" would go to illegal aliens. They urge Americans to call their senators to open the government now, blaming Schumer for the shutdown.

Republicans should not cut Medicare or Social Security to pay for Biden's spending. Biden has wasted trillions on the Green New Deal and opened our borders to migrants from prisons and mental institutions. Our border is now the worst in the world. Instead of burdening American families and seniors, we should cut spending on corrupt foreign countries, mass releases of illegal aliens, left-wing gender programs in the military, climate extremism, and waste fraud and abuse. We must save Social Security and not let the Democrats destroy it.

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.

I oppose the continuing resolution (CR) authored by Byron Donald. It continues the Ukraine policy negotiated by Speaker Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, which conservatives were against. The CR allows Jack Smith to continue election interference and silences the former president and leading contender for the Republican nomination. It abandons the principle of reviewing single subject spending bills and fails to address the unsustainable $33 trillion debt and $2 trillion annual deficits. A mere 8% cut over 30 days without programmatic reform is insulting to the principles we fought for in January.

Do Democrats wanna prioritize the health care of illegal aliens over a government shutdown? Because if the government does shut down, Americans will be able furlough. We're not prioritizing. What we're doing is saying simply we wanna keep the government open, and we wanna work with the Republicans and have a bipartisan agreement to keep this government open, and health care is at the top of our agenda. But are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens? Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We want to save lives. We wanna make sure that health care is available to those who would die but having the help of their government. So you're good with the government shutdown even if it means giving health care to people who aren't American citizens? We want to save health care for all people.

There are no Doge cuts, and this is not USAID. The speaker is talking about waste and fraud, specifically in Medicaid, and claims no one has been turned over to the DOJ for fraud. Elon Musk gave false hope to a political class that doesn't want to cut anything. The big bill has problems, but it passed because Musk promised a trillion dollars. The rescission next week is $9 billion, with $2 billion from PBS and NPR. There's supposedly $7 billion in fraud on a $7 trillion budget. Musk committed $1 trillion to the President, leading to questions about whether it's all "BS."

We're talking about $2.3 billion saved, but where's the proof? You won't be satisfied until you see the 10,000 pages of evidence. Specifics are needed. If we have to go to Congress, we will show where the money is going. Some details have emerged, like the $59 million spent on luxury hotels, but that was FEMA money abused for migrants. I'm not saying it's okay, don't put words in my mouth. The portrayal isn't factually accurate. I saw what FEMA does, I believe it. These are congressionally appropriate funds.

Just left the house floor where we passed the National Defense Authorization Act. I voted against it due to $500 million in foreign aid, which many opposed. There are provisions for travel related to abortions and poorly written transgender language that could worsen issues. The Pentagon still hasn't passed an audit after multiple attempts, and we need to do better. This isn't what you voted for, and there are lobbyists involved that affect these decisions. We’ll keep fighting, but it's crucial for you to hold us accountable. Thank you for your support.
