officials just couldn't bear the thought of providing relief for working-class middle-class americans. republican state officials sued my administration, attempting to block relief including millions of their own constituents. republicans in congress voted to overturn the plan. at the same time, think about this. they all support at the paycheck protection program. remember ppp? it was designed to help business owners who lost money because of the pandemic. it was a worthy program. some of the same elected republicans, members of congress who strongly opposed giving relief to students got hundreds of thousands of dollars themselves. members of congress. because of the businesses they were able to keep open. several members of congress got over a million dollars. all those loans are forgiven. how much did that program cost? $760 billion. my programs too expensive. $360 billion more than i proposed in my student debt relief program. i was trying to provide students with $10,000 to $20,000 of relief by comparison. the average amount forgiven was $70,000. a kid making $60,000 trying to pay back his b

their economic well-being, their future andd te ability to achieve the american dream as compared with the extreme guy republicans. simply trying to jam their right-wing ideology and their conspiracy theories and their fealty to the twice impeached former president down the throats of the american people. house democrats will continue to put people over politics, to fight for lower costs and better paying jobs, safer communities, reproductive freedom, defend democracy, confront the gun violence epidemic and build an economy that grows the middle class. we are focused on an economy that works for every day americans. that builds upon b the progress- progress the president biden has led thing grows the middle class. republicans are focused on their extremism and their conspiracy theories and bending the knee to donald trump. house republicans have no agenda, no vision, no plan to deal with the economy, job creation, health care, gun safety or anything that matters to the american people. and that is what this week once again shows. instead of peddling conspiracy theories for the judiciary committee the oversight ch

not a democratic issue or a republican issue. it's an american issue. so i think that exploration will continue. but we're not holding our breath in terms of whether the extreme maga republican notice house are going to do anything to hold -- republicans in the louis going to do anything to hold the right wing majority of the united states accountable in any way, shape or form. so ultimately this issue may have to get litigated before the american people. reporter: thank you. reporter: speaker mccarthy says he wants to have a debate about restructuring the finn is. that one that house -- the f.b.i. is that one that house democrats would be open to? and do you support the white house's decision to ban -- [indiscernible] -- mr. jeffries: i'm unfamiliar with the second issue. we can look into it. in terms of the question about the f.b.i., extreme maga republicans want to defund the f.b.i. they don't want to restructure the f.b.i. the majority of the house republican conference wants to he it fund the f.b.i. -- wants to defund the f.b.i., they're constantly

the extremists in the house republican conference have once again taken control of the house floor. and stopped us from doing the business of the american people. this is extraordinary. and we stand ready to find common ground with the other side of the aisle. if they can break from their extremists. the problem that seems to exist is that house republican conference is captive to the most extreme wing of their party. at the same time we're thankful for the leadership of president biden. president biden was able to arrive at a resolution that avoided a dangerous default and stopped the extreme maga republicans from crashing the economy and triggering a job-killing recession which would have inflicted tremendous pain on millions of everyday americans. house democrats remain tha*pgful for the leadership of president biden, which spared the country from another hostage-taking situation that the extremists have now made clear they would have been ready to bring about the first opportunity they had to do just that. but the debt ceiling has now been suspended into the early part of 2025. thanks to the leadership of president biden. we're also

please tell me how much in principle you do you agree with the opinion of some american republicans whothat if we now give weapons to ukraine, we will not be able to give them to taiwan if china tries to resolve the taiwan issue by military means, but they are already doing it , they are already providing high-tech military and the achievements of ivan and taiwan , also with the help of taiwan with the help of the usa , we have already switched to military tracks, we can say that there is already a strong financial support for the defense sector and ivany, and in fact, now we are already preparing and the usa is already helping us and this a strong message for the people of taiwan for what is supported by us and the americans. if putin is allowed to keep crimea, it will be a signal to other aggressors, in particular, it is about the situation around taiwan, former nato secretary general anders ras stated this. what do you think of these two parallels? conducted or not well, i think that it is possible to draw such a parallel. i would like to use this opportunity to say that there is not

american republican senator jim rizh stated in an interview with the voice of america that according to him, it is necessary to provide our state with everything that fires almost any american weapon , except for nuclear, be it f16 fighter jets or attack missiles, jim rizh also added that american lawmakers continue to put pressure on the administration of president joe biden regarding these issues, calendar changes, president volodymyr zelenskyy proposed to move the celebration of christmas on january 7 to december 25, the day of ukrainian statehood from july 28 to july 15, when the memory of the outstanding prince of kyiv volodymyr the great is commemorated, and the day of defenders of their defenders of ukraine is moved from october 14 to october 1. this holiday is connected with the ukrainian military traditions of commemorating the day of the intercession of the most holy theotokos. changes in the calendar of holidays are related to the transition of the orthodox church of ukraine to the new julian calendar, which will take place from september 1 this year, on june 28, ukraine ce

officials just couldn't bear the thought of providing relief for working class, middle class americans. republican state officials through my administration attempted to block relief including millions of their own constituents. republicans in congress voted to overturn the plan. i can every one. i don't think i had any republican votes for this plan. at the same time think about this they all supported the paycheck protection program. remember ppp, which was designed to help business owners who lost money because of the pandemic? it was a worthy program, but let's be clear some of the same elected republicans, members of congress who strongly opposed giving relief to students got hundreds of thousands of dollars themselves in relief -- members of congress because of the businesses they were able to keep open. several members of congress got over a million dollars. all those loans are forgiven. you know how much that program cost? $760 billion. my program is too expensive? $360 billion more that i promised in my student debt relief program. i was trying to provide students 10 to $20,000 of relief.

he knows he can't run it, so he is mad at republicans like desantis for pointing that out elk bra door says fentanyl is an american don't had make fentanyl in mexico. mexico makes fentanyl like italy makes pasta. obrador is telling hispanics here not to vote for desantis. >> all the desantis' playing politics. he wanted to be the republican candidate. i hope hispanics in florida wake up and don't give him a single vote. >> jesse: what do you call it when a foreign power interferes with our election? we used to call that election interference. democrats used to be totally against it. they said putin cost crooked the election. well now the mexican president is on tape politicking against the republican presidential candidate urging americans not to vote for him and the media is silent. what's the relationship between joe biden and the mexican president. well, joe biden made cartels more than they ever have in history. the mexican president controlled by the cartels interferes in election on behalf biden. and hunter got rich in mexico when biden was v.p. i think "primetime" deserves a pulitzer prize. clay travis is t

republican officials just couldn't bare the thought of providing relief for middle class americans. republicans and state officials suit my administration attempts to block relief including millions of their own constituents. republicans in congress voted to overturn the plan. everyone, didn't have any republican votes for this plan. the same time, think about this. we all supported the paycheck protection program. remember that? ppp. you know, which was designed to help business owners that lost money because of pandemic. it was a worthy program. let's be clear. some of the same elected republicans, members of congress that strongly opposed giving relief to students got hundreds of thousands of dollars themselves in relief. members of congress. because of the businesses that they kept open. several members of congress got over a million dollars, all those loans were forgiven. you know how much that program cost? $760 billion. my program is too expensive? $360 billion more than i proposed in my students debt relief program. i was trying to provide students with 10 to 20,000 of relief by compari

republicans wanted a gutting of investments we made in the ira, the inflation reduction act that are driving a new generation of american manufacturing, billions and billions of investments and thousands upon thousands of jobs . we fought and fought. that ain't happening. the hard right maga republicans wanted to cut critical investments by 30%, all of these vital programs by 30%. as we say in brooklyn, nfw, that ain't happening. republicans wanted to put default back on the table in a few months. that ain't happening. republicans want to draw back medicaid expansion. that ain't happening. republicans even play down default and wanted to risk going over that cliff, and to date we democrats are proud to declare that ain't happening. so tonight, i am proud to say thanks to democrats all of these things ain't happening. and now we pass this bill. all along i have said the most important thing is that all parties involved must take default of the table, no default, end of story, full stop . it was clear to me that if republicans would continue their refusal to raise the debt ceiling interest a straightforward way, then they

right now, it's 58, 60, 62% of americans -- republicans open to somebody else. of this three or four people deep into the primary, trump doesn't have to get 50 or 55% to be the nominee, he just has to be in the mid 30s. so, we will see. i think that's the beauty of this process, is it has the capacity to surprise, it often does, and you know, we'll see who's got exactly what the voters are looking for at this particular moment, particular that group of voters out there who are saying i'm open to an alternative to trump. >> i'm open to an alternative to trump. are there enough? mike pence, charlie, is supposed to announce his candidacy. and if you think back to what happened on january 6th, those hard-core trump voters have no love for mike pence. where is his lane? >> i think he's in a tough lane, running as perhaps the most socially conservative of all the candidates, particularly on the abortion issue, where republicans are clearly very vulnerable. i think that mike pence's lane is not a very good one. it might have been a better lane several years ago, being

including children in poverty, the elderly in nursing homes, and americans living with disabilities. the original house republican proposal would've cut health care for up to 21 million americans on medicaid. i said, no, and medicare was protected. and so were millions of people most in need. look, i would love to believe that the one truly sacred obligation that the government has is to care for those we sent into harm's way when they come home and when they don't come home. that's on my last budget provided be hospitals with additional funding for more doctors and nurses and equipment. to accommodate the needsof veterans and more appointments. the house republican plan would've meant 30 million fewer dollars for our veterans. this is the most significant line tickets for veterans exposed to toxic burn pets and their families. it expands access to those families for health care and disability benefits. we are investing in our people and our future. we have created over 13 million new jobs. nearly 800,000 many fracturing jobs. where is it written that america can't lead the world again and manufacturing? unemploy

biden: my fellow americans, when i ran for president, i was told the days of bipartisanship were over. that democrats and republicans no longer worked together. but i refused to believe that. because america can never give into that way of thinking. american democracy can function through compromise and consensus. and that is what i work to do as your president. you know, to use bipartisan ship where it is useful and needed. including historic law rebuilding america so we can rank number one in the world in infrastructure instead of where we are ranked now, number 13 in the world. rebuilding our manufacturing base, so that when we the world once again and [indiscernible] so many sophisticated ones. now i bipartisan budget agreement. this is vital. because it is essential to the progress we have made over the last few years. keeping full faith and credit of the united states of america. passing a budget that continues to grow our economy and reflects our values as a nation. that is why i am speaking to you tonight. to report on the crisis averted and what we are doing to protect america's future. passing this budget

every american republican or democrat or otherwise has a right to make their own judgment about the trumpndictment. but the media, to discredit -- the media wants to discredit the very idea trump could be the victim of a political prosecution. that belief is no longer allowed. but it's not like they've never seen this before. nobody knows this more than former illinois governor rob blagojevich. he says the case against trump is very familiar and it's all politics and that he knows what political persecution looks like because he experienced it firsthand. >> there was an old saying in the old west. there was a cowboy who was charged with stealing a horse in town and some of the other cowboys, especially the guy whose horse was stolen, were very unhappy with that guy. one of the cowboys said, let's hang him. the other cowboy said hold on before we hang him let's first give him a fair trial then we'll hang him. under these rules, i'm not even getting a fair trial. they'll just hanging me. and when they hang me under these rules that prevent due process, they're hanging the 12 million people

it took a hundred years from reconstruction to his election to get an african-american republican fromted in the senate. that's not by accident. that's by design. and for him to not acknowledge that design as part of his story, is really unfortunate. and what's even more unfortunate is when you look at that quote from, that tweet from governor haley, ambassador haley, the word, the pronoun "them" distancing herself from minorities, despite being a racial minority herself reveals a lot more about her understanding of how she factors into race in this country more so than obama's impact on minorities or how minorities view themselves in general. >> their comments are very revealing, because the assertion that systemic discrimination does not exist against minorities and against women is a defining, maybe the defining unifying belief of the republican coalition in the trump era. political scientists who have studied this say that both in 2016 and 2020, the best predictor of who voted for trump was the denial that racism and sexism exists. three quarters of republicans say in polls that di

it's wrong, shameful, and every american, republican, democrat, independent alike, should be standingcy tonight. >> brian: real quick, do you have a game plan to get more information and more details in these tapes specifically? is there a plan in place? >> yes. there's a place by oversight to get as much information, bank records, going back to suspicious activity reports, finding the recordings, everything we can to show the american people the truth. >> brian: congresswoman nancy mace, thank you. >> thank you. >> brian: nearly all of the charges against donald trump involve the espionage act and obstruction. jonathan turley is a george washington law professor and legal scholar, and says trump's legal team will attempt to challenge the use of the espionage act. what about the chances of success? jonathan, great to see you. your thoughts about their attack plan. >> well, there's a number of threshold attacks they're likely to make. one will be attacking the espionage act. that's sort of a hardened silo to attack. it's been challenged before. the courts are likely -- particularly the

speaker, i join in expressing my frustration with the crisis that my republican colleagues have manufactured. the american people deserve better than a republican majority that chooses to govern crisis by crisis. let's lift this debt ceiling and get on with the people's business in the people's house. thank you and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts reserves. mr. neal: we continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from missouri is recognized. mr. smith: i yield one and a half minutes to the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. smucker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one and a half minutes mr. smucker: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the chairman for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of the fiscal responsibility act. how could i not support a bill that claws back billions in unspent covid funds. a bill that cuts trillions in biden's out of control spending. a bill that caps spending levels for years to come. and a bill that enacts work requirements to bring more americans

unannounced visit, the possibility of transferring atakams missiles to ukraine is quite high , american senator republican jim ryzh stated this in an interview with the voice of america , according to him, it is necessary to provide our state with everything that fires almost any american weapon in addition to nuclear, either f16 fighter jets or atakams missiles, jimrish also added that american lawmakers continue to pressure the administration of president joe biden on these issues, switzerland will not sell tanks leopard for ukraine this is reported by the reuters agency in the government there, they noted that this contradicts the law and would cause an adjustment of the policy of neutrality, i will remind you that in june the upper board of the swiss parliament decided that the redirection of imported weapons of ukraine, where the war is ongoing, does not contradict the neutrality of switzerland, so it can be allowed under certain conditions, a historic decision croatia recognized the holodomor of 1932-1933 as genocide of the ukrainian people , the country's parliament supported the relevant declarati

republicans who supported it ran away in droves from the harsh because they just voted for. it was a disaster for them and is disaster for the american people. we know that nightmare piece of legislation was a blessing in disguise. the republican default with america landed with a thud and the partisan extremism which seems to dominate so much of the republican party, would never be the way out of the crisis. they said from day one, they demanded a bipartisan solution. we needed to come together for a solution and i am happy to stand here passing this critical legislation to support our families, preserve vital programs and avoid catastrophic default. i look forward to the president, who i salute for his steadfastness, signing it without delay. questions? >> is there anything you would have done differently? sen schumer: i talked to the present every day. i talked to the groups working on it 5-6 times a day. the proof is in the pudding, it's there. this bill was a total rejection of what the republicans wanted and look at the boat? it proves that our strategy was the right strategy. >> are you committing the senate would vote on a de

republican elected officials stepped in and said no. they were literally snatching thousands of dollars in student debt relief from thousands of americanspublican officials just couldn't bear the thought of providing relief for middle class americans. they sued my administration and tended to block relief, including millions of their own constituents. think about this. they all supported the paycheque protection programme. this was designed to help business owners who lost money because of the pandemic. it was aware the programme, but let's be clear, some of the same elected republicans, members of congress, who strongly oppose giving relief to students, got hundreds of thousands of dollars themselves in relief. members of congress, because of the businesses they were able to keep open. several members of congress got over $1 million. all those loans were forgiven. how much did that programme cost? $760 billion. my programme is too expensive. $360 billion more than i proposed with my student debt relief programme. i was trying to provide students with ten to £20,000 worth of —— dollars of relief. the average amount forgiven the $70,000.

now republicans try to dress up their extreme agenda as being about state's rights but the american people know the truth, they saw when nearly every republican in the senate sponsored and voted in favor of a nationwide abortion ban because that's what this is all about. republicans deep down want to ban abortions for everyone, everywhere. so that's why this week our senators behind me will be asked consent on common sense legislation to protect women's most fundamental rights. jot impact this has had on women like amanda forced to wait till near death and suffering from infection before she could terminate her unviable pregnancy in texas. going to another state to get critical reproductive care they need. in the year since row vs. wade was overturned becoming increasingly clear and they need this legislation and far right politician won't stop to roll back right of women in the country but we'll never stop standing up to them and fighting to protect women's fundamental freedoms. thank you. >> good morning. we have an issue where young people having fewer rights than their mothers and gran

republicans plan to try to cut social security and medicare. this includes potentially raising the social security retirement age to 70 and targeting younger americans who have yet to obtain federal benefits. we have a number of members on the republican side who talk about privatize -- privatization all the time. that's their favorite word when it comes to social security and medicare. we want to make surety american people understand who is on their side and who is trying to undercut things that are very meaningful to them. i also want to point out that my republican colleagues have been in disarray since they took majority -- took the majority and have failed to pass meaningful legislation into law on behalf of the american people. they control this chamber. they control the schedule. they control the committees. they control what they bring to the floor. at this point in the 117th congress, that is the previous congress, we democrats had passed 17 bills into law. and at this point in the 116th congress, under divided government, we passed 21 bills into law. . you want to know how many this majority has passed into law? six. i mean, they are fail

and if these other candidates don't want to do it, the american people and republican primary voters have to start to understand this, when did we get -- for the weakness of our candidates, it's the democrats, fault it's doj fault, it's this person's fault, it's the medias fault. how about it's his three time loser. 2018, we lost the house, 2020 we lost the white house, we lost the united states senate a couple weeks later, 2021. in 2022 we lost two more governorships, another senate seats, and barely took the house of representatives when joe biden had the most incompetent first two years i've ever seen in my life. >> loser, loser, loser. now we're getting going, it'll be different this time. why why will it be different this time those arguments need to be made, and i'm not afraid to make them. for two reasons, one i'm not afraid of him, and to, it's the truth. do you think he will show up? to those early bids? . >> >> is his ego will not be able to stop him. if he skips the first one, that will be fine. let him skip the first. one that will give me absolute freeway in. we will do

terrorist act does not happen, volodymyr, you mentioned the resolution prepared by two american senators, republicanarem and democrat richard blumenthal, but they want to equate the use of any nuclear weapon or the destruction of a nuclear facility on the territory of ukraine as an attack on nato and the use of of the 1st article of the north atlantic treaty eh well this will mean that in this way the united states of america eh american senators through the united states of america respectively eh propose eh to enter nato into the war if will the zaporizhia npp suddenly happen if we simplify the formula that they wrote out in this resolution, i understand correctly, well, there is one point that i paid attention to and it says that these are all the restorations that are proposed by two senators, they will only then be applied in relation to russia, when the radioactive cloud ends up on the territory of a nato country, well, that is, it will go, let's say, in the direction of romania near bulgaria, it will go in the direction of poland well, well, if they blow up a nuclear plant and the wind will g

americans. some republicans have reacted and they are pretty pleased.aid it was the end of what he described as a socialism plan. others are distressed and outraged. i have been speaking to students outside the supreme court. >> this position will impact a lot of people in this country. it will disproportionately impact people who already are historically are journalized. the people who take out student loans are not the children of millionaires and billionaires. >> i come from a low income background. my family does not have generational wealth. i had no other option to take out student loans to pay my rent and put food on the table. >> we heard the passion from those students. this forgiveness plan, this was a signature plan for president biden. he said he will continue to fight for some sort of debt relief. does he have a plan b? reporter: he has been trying to outline a plan b. i think it is worth remembering that it was in his 2020 election campaign where he talked about tackling the student debt burden. that was a way of energizing young voters, v

we heard from house republican leaders and even the leader of the republican party talk openly about taking our economy and the american people hostage. that is damming. house republicans at bidding to using the credit of the united states of america as a political weapon. needless to say, that is not how this should work. negotiating is not saying give me everything i want or else. negotiating is coming to the table saying, here are my concerns, here are my principles, here is what i'm hearing from families in my state. work to find common ground. that is what people elected us to do. that is what they sent us here to do. frankly, i think that is what many of us here want to do. i have heard from so many of my colleagues about desire to return to regular order. i have been working with the senator to do that on the appropriations committee. let's get one thing straight -- hostage is not regular order. it is just not. that is not the way we should arrive. it is time we put an end to this dangerous -- at the next possible opportunity by scrapping the debt ceiling and taking the threat of default off the table once and f

tell something, literally, very briefly, i will show you, and ah, slava, a good man, a good american , a republican er, the representative of nebraska in the er, in the congress, met there , as if in support, with a delegation in support of the ukrainians, and they even made such a group from germany here in nebraska with places of ukrainians in support of ukraine ah, you see, ignorance of the cyrillic alphabet of the ukrainian language led to the fact that apparently no one paid attention to what was written on this flag and under this snake here's a little bit for igniting the vocabulary. we can't teach this over the air, but it's all about how you know someone wears some chinese characters on a t-shirt and addressed something to a russian warship, that is, the particle went out. that's how we tried to make you smile a little at the very end of our morning air it's a pity, of course berlusconi died , we sympathize with the italians for whom he was important. and the politician is still interesting, although you know the personality is odious, so on to prosecutions due to corruption. friendship wi
