once again we see that the republicans could care less about meeting the needs of the american people. house republicans have now been in the majority for a little under a year. they have nothing to show the american people. that they have accomplished on behalf of the american people. zero. don't take my word for it, just ask chip roy who made it explicitly clear that the house republican majority has done nothing to meet the needs of the american people. instead they continue to focus on undermining the health safety and economic well-being of the american people. what's the latest example? this week they've been directed to prepare to repeal the affordable care act. in other words they want to take away house republicans directed to prepare to take away health care from more than 100 million americans who are suffering with pre-existing conditions. house republicans are going to spend today and tomorrow continuing their phony investigation of president biden's family and will try to impeach secretary mayorkas at the direction of one of the ringleaders of the extreme maga republican

but consistently throughout this congress, extreme maga republicans have refused to work with us to solve problems on behalf of hardworking american taxpayers. instead, the do-nothing republican congress has visited upon the american people chaos, dysfunction and extremism over and over and over again. 11 years ago, 20 innocent, precious first-grade students and six educators were murdered in cold blood. the country said, we must never allow it to happen again. but this year alone, there have been 635 mass shootings in the united states of america. and more than 40,000 americans have lost their lives due to gun violence. in 2023 alone. that is unacceptable. that is unconscionable. that should be unamerican. today, the maga extremists and the do-nothing republican congress are leaving town without meaningly addressing the gun violence epidemic in america. for any other issue of significance. no progress on the economy. no progress on health care. no progress on affordability, no progress on public safety. no progress on education. no progress on any issue that addresses the health, the safety or the economic well-being of the ameri

american people. instead extreme maga republicans are actively targeting social security, actively targeting medicare, actively targeting reproductive freedom and a woman. actively the affordable care act and our democracies and hide that right-wing agenda from the american people and we continue to see censure resolution and next week we will waste time targeting president biden and his family. >> the ndaa -- [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: we haven't had the opportunity to have that conversation as a caucus with the text now being in the public domain, but it's been a bipartisan process that we have been engaged in, led by the top democrat on the armed services committee, adam smith. and i believe we have arrived at a place that is worthy of strong consideration for very strong support amongst the house democratic caucus. thank you. reporter: your meeting -- [indiscernible] mr. jeffries: i look forward with my meeting with mayor adams about how to improve the quality of life of the people of new york city, how we can address some of the challenges that we confront in new york city, particularly the af

will find bipartisan common ground with our republican colleagues on any issue whenever and wherever possible in order to make live better for everyday americans. while at the same time push back against republican extremism whenever necessary. we haven't just talked about bipartisan cooperation, we've leaned into it on issue after issue after issue, including making sure that america did not default on our nation's debt for the first time in american history, that we've twice avoided government shutdowns, and that we've worked hard to meet the needs of the american people including securing $16 billion in disaster assistance for american families who have been devastated by extreme weather events. house democrats continue to make clear we'll always put people before politics and solve problems for hard-working american taxpayers. but the republican extremism is out of control. extreme maga republicans have shown zero interests in solving problems on behalf of everyday americans. zero interests in dealing with the economy, zero interests in confronting inflation which is on the way down but still requires us to look into things like price goug

and i think that's another consideration that the american republican conservatives are looking at. that everything they've been told by lloyd austin and john kirby and brock. and i should say, brock obama's puppet joe biden, who, i don't suspect will live very long either. they have all been lying to the american people in line to the american congress, and the republicans have overthrown a speaker, kevin mccarthy. to initiate a change specifically in the cranium matters. so i think in january of 2024, you are going to see a see change. you will see the zalinski political regime crumble, an avalanche of revelations come out of the ceasing and assisting of any and all american dollars that are going towards ukraine. you will see i, uh, europe a rise up in a totally different dispositions. and i think you will see also russia extend the political graciousness and the sophisticated understanding of diplomacy that will re unite russia with many parts of europe while the united states and with a binding ministration, have forgotten every word or, or dictate about diplomacy. so i, i thin

. >> reporter: a young, gay, brazilian american republican seen by some as what could be the future ofarty. but it turned out his resume was littered with false claims. from the schools he says he attended, the prestigious horace mann high school, new york university. he said he was a top volleyball player at baruch college. the kicker, he never even went. to his work history, citigroup, goldman sachs, which he even testified to under oath. none of it true. he also falsely linked himself to various tragedies and identities. >> i've seen how socialism destroys people's lives because my grandparents survived the holocaust. i'm a jew, trust me. >> reporter: he later attempted to clarify his connection to judaism. >> my heritage is jewish, i've always identified as jewish, i was raised a practicing catholic, i've joked with friends, even in the campaign, "i'm jew-ish." >> reporter: he said his mom died from complications caused by 9/11 when she wasn't even in the u.s. at the time of the attacks. >> how do you hope your constituents can trust you even though you've misrepresented your biogr

they have all been lying to the american people in line to the american congress, and the republicans have overthrown the speaker, kevin mccarthy. to initiate a change specifically in the cranium matter. so i think in january of 2024, you are going to see a see change. you will see the zalinski political regime crumble, or you will see him buried in a non mark graves as the war criminal. that is, as a landscape, tries to drum up more aid from washington, an upcoming fresh round of talks over ukraine's e u membership shows the growing gap in views with kev willing to do anything it takes to get into the block. while multiple, you leaders see things a little different the various commission, the recommendations were implemented into ukrainian legislation. so we, we can jump, we condense, e for that is that is requested to, in addition to a check other than the european commission propose starting negotiations on ukraine's membership. but this does not coincide with the interests of many member states, certainly not with hunger res interest. and we dare to say, so, no matter what pressur

orban is the idol of many american republicans.entation towards family, towards traditional values, towards conservatism , which is perceived by many american republicans as a model, the so-called hungarian model even appeared about him, i remember trump said something there, although he got it mixed up, he said that he is not in charge . this does not mean that brussels can squeeze him, it’s the other way around, that he can throw it in brussels’ face and only talk louder, i say, there is a second group of interests, these are those european countries that cannot afford to openly say that we are against ukraine’s entry into the european union, because how they attach importance to ukraine, they seem to latently support orban and then blame it on him, oh, well, hungary doesn’t want it, oh, what a pity, they say, that’s why orban is a key character and for the european union, hysteria will already begin, and he, he may become the person who will somehow eventually find this formula for the reconciliation of russia and ukraine, the f

this statement was made by american republican senator james vance on cnn.the politician, the armed forces of ukraine are not able to push back the russian army to the borders of the ninety-first year, at least because of the acute shortage of soldiers at the front. therefore, the american authorities must. each of us knows that the debate in congress can last forever, but ukraine will have to give up part of its territory to russia, and the united states must recognize this fact, we simply must complete these military actions as early as possible, this is the right decision, i absolutely do not understand the ambitions of our politicians, when we are losing billions of dollars because of this project, let's recognize ukraine as a country. completely destructive, if ukraine continues this war, it will simply lose even more soldiers, which it already lacks. dozens of people became victims of an israeli air raid on a refugee camp in the gaza strip, al-jazeera tv channel reported. by according to journalists, there were 69 people in the house where the shell hi

whether it will be allocated in separate tranches, again, what kind of sacrifices for this the american republicansis doing something , like this is our team, which, you know, there is a field, there are players on this field, and there are ours. they hate russia, of course, but they hate biden more , republicans yes, but again republicans are afraid to take risks and say that biden is now, that is, if we completely abandon support for ukraine, and biden needs to be allowed to drown, because now for biden the ukrainian issue is a weight on her leg she will pull him down, instead of a locomotive she has become a weight, so now this will happen, but i don’t think that now the conditions are ripe under which this will change radically, look, you know? they will force biden to break the rules of the game, they they will constantly set conditions for the provision of assistance, which biden will not be able to do, and then he will have to ignore the decision. congress, here is your son here , here are your relatives there, it’s gone, it’s gone, it’s gone, that is, they will force biden to look for money

american republican senators have blocked a move to pass an aid bill for ukraine after failing to secures british immigration minister in protest over the new rwanda bill to curb illegal migration, saying the plan does not go far enough. and it's a second day of questioning for former prime minister borisjohnson at the uk covid inquiry, after admitting the government made mistakes. hello, i'm sally bundock. we begin with the latest developments from israel and gaza. the un secretary general, antonio guterres, has warned countries on the security council that public order in gaza is likely to completely break down because of israeli bombardment and the lack of essential supplies. israel's foreign minister, has sharply criticised

american republican congress for christmas last year, this year they got a lot for call, and your earlier how little has been done. but, a lot of those republican members campaigns are not getting anything done. the campaign unlimited government, and many cases no governments are shutting down government. so, the problem that we have is the the parties and republicans particularly are really appealing to the lowest common denominator, the extremes have taken over in the party, and there is no exhibit a is mike johnson as the new speaker, -- that's not a broad constituency of america. the people he talks to and the people he campaigns with will literally say, mike, just shut it down. without any real regard for the consequences. so, the republicans have got the car here and i think it worries me because they do not trying to appeal to a majority of constituents, not even a majority of their own party. >> it's fastening to think about, you know where mine -- just to weigh in on this, is we talk about the party or the democratic party or the republican party, we often assume there is a unity

bowman. >> it's painfully obvious to myself and colleagues and the american people that the republican party is unserious and unable to legislate. their censure resolution is not governing the american people. i have fought for my district and my constituents by bringing over 125 million to the district. helping save members of our community over $7 million and 6500 quint work issues. i have introduced 50 bills, resolutions and amendments and two bills on stem education passed in the historic chips and science act. even today as republicans force a censure on me, i introduced a college right to ensure college athletes get paid for their time and hard work. no matter the hard work, my constituents know i will always continue to fight for them. fighting for my district includes working to prevent a government shutdown and overtwo months ago, i was rushing to the capitol i was working to prevent. when i tried to go through a door, it didn't open and due to confusion, i pulled the fire alarm. i immediately took responsibility and accountability for my actions and pled guilty. immediately.

those are the people, the real power centers of the american republican party. and that pushes out, by the way, that's a give and take relationship with people like viktor orban, who echoed those things. i think the number one thing people should know about this, whether you agree with them about rolling back american trans rights or gay rights or if you for some reason decide that your speech rights are fine to give up, democracy right now over there under viktor orban's leadership is not doable. he said he's going to be their leader for the next ten years plus. that's what he wants to be. he made constitutional amendments to make it harder for opposition parties. he essentially squelched the free press, which tucker carlson viewed as more free press. so that's the model. the model that you keep hearing in those spaces is we're not a democracy. we're a constitutional republic. what does that mean? they're going to try once they get into power to never, ever relinquish it. >> right, and the point being, i mean, i don't mean this to be funny. it's sort of an ince

thinks the information is true, but he handed it over to the fbi, yeah, that means all the american republican even himself trump wrote about this, everyone is still writing there, sifu, that he is kind of a fool, that’s it , but at the same time, all the democratic media did not write about this story, and also vice versa, when we had a prank with a republican, there regarding the supply of weapons, in my opinion , the democratic and republican writers wrote about this . this is not even just a prank, yes, this is practically some kind of small social experiment, the experiment has gone a little far, too far, we have touched on this topic already hooked, but i ask you directly, yes, taking into account the fact that many journalists, and just on social networks, some bloggers write that this is how the guys are, of course , they are collaborating with the fsb, so the direct question is what ranks you have, well, for now, none, but they are looking only one part of creativity. there are pranks with stars, with billie eilish, for example , with whoopi goldberg, with david duchovny from the x-fi

but apparently the number of bed is just not important. us the message from american republican senator lindsey graham, is he compared the civilian death? poland gaza, to death in the 2nd? well well the reason she said that obviously and what the secretary austin side, which i'll get to that in a minute, is because they believe that too many palestinian civilians had been killed. do you agree with that? what tell us how to do it differently? yeah, avoided, you know, what is too many people dying and world war 2 after pearl harbor did, did the american public worry about how many people were dying to destroy tokyo and berlin? i know this is not the same, but it's similar. lindsey graham thinks he's in competition with benjamin netanyahu over who can be the greatest war longer of the 21st century. lindsey graham doesn't understand that when tokyo and berlin were destroyed, the us and the world. so nothing but the entire world's cameras are focused on cancer and the whole world is seeing is those genocide in real time, directly, the shocking images cannot be forgotten. so in other words, w

neither will the american people, republicans in congress, are still locking us funding for ukraine's against russian. the new tips mckinnon. thanks so much for joining us. a deal has been reached at the global climate conference club 28th in due by officer will night talks a new text was released in the early morning and approved it just a few hours later. now the agreement calls for transitioning away from all fossil fuels and including from coal, oil and gas. several observe is cool. that loading historic is what the comp 28 presidents health enough met al job i had to say about that is a plan that is led by the science. that is a balance that that goes emissions bridges the gap on i deputation. but he imagines global finance and delivers on loss on damage. we have the basis to make a transform ation of the change happen. let us finish what we have started. hitting no objection. it is so decided that the deputies attend the sound bug is in divine. he gave us an assessment of the reactions to the deal. well, it is for such an historic deal or has at least a story, elements for 30 ye

israel relationship under democratic and republican presidents. american not like to fight publicly with israeli prime minister's. it's politically costly and most often it doesn't work. when it does work the pressure is literally focused on trying to achieve something that would benefit both united and israel. i think the message is getting through to the israelis at the lee need soon by january to change the character of their military operations in gaza. but again, the administration is also reaffirmed the reality that israel will be operating at some level in gaza for some months to come. >> and that has all sorts of problems associated with the. we'll continue to talk about those. aaron, thank you so much for joining us. aaron david miller. when we come back, with friends like these, who needs a salary increase? new reports after justice clarence thomas claimed that his low salary could force him to resign, some rich new friends showed up. that's next with jamele lewis. this is remington. he's a member of the family, for sure. we always fed him kibble

polling shows that most americans trust republicans on everything from immigration to national defensey and now for the first time in modern polling history, more americans trust conservatives, the republicans, with education over democrats. so, again, we have the high ground on ideas. it's up to us to get out there and actually win these elections. i think that president trump will win next fall, and i think the republicans will take back the and expand our majority in the house. i think we have a lot of good things trending our way. maria: all right. well, that's well said. i want to get into some of the issues. i know you've got plenty of deadlines coming up on the budget. how is the appropriations process going? if a january 19th deadline when the government runs out of money again. are you going to get it done? >> maria, we really need to have a negotiation with the9 senate and start to conference these bills. remember, the house has passed 7 of the 12 appropriation if bills already, we should be conferencing those heading into january 19th, i believe, is the first deadline. and t

let's bring in the advisor for the american republicans and the former democratic state senator. thank you both for being here. merry christmas to both you and yours. let's begin with the most obvious question here. what could possibly turn this around for president biden? when you're looking at theseb numbers, i mean, this is the fifth time he's been below 40% this year, guys. let's start off with david? >> david: yeah. i think these are not the poll numbers you want to see, but if you look closely at the polls, it says he's made a jump and jumped up two points since the came out. it's not great numbers, but president biden inherited a very difficult situation, whether domestic or foreign, with hamas, russia or florida. he's past legislation that made a difference. we hit record highs on the stock market last week, and we have record lows of unemployment. i think as the latest polls come out, we will see it soft squn biden start to do better. i think his messaging hasn't been working on the economy but his policy has. >> i mean, chris, he may have inherited a tough situation, an

that was my conversation and that was interesting about the pulse of the american republican base.e: if there was no shaping in the battlefield, it's a very, very different race and terms of policy and point of view and instincts it's a different point of view. pete: trump was a giant disrupter and interview going on and he said i'd support trump no matter what. i'll do a write in if it's biden versus trump. you're asking more more biden with that particular vote if that's the stabs you take and upswing for nikki haley. going from 7 to 12, that's substantial in percentage terms but not when you're running against a guy with 60. rachel: that's the donor class and he embodies the donor class and they've moved all their money and you might see that money helping nikki in the iowa caucus and money makes a difference and they're going to put a lot of money and don't have what it takes to overtake donald trump. it's so counterintuitive and never think somebody facing jail time every time they do another thing to him, he goes up in the polls. pete: 2024, expect the unexpected for sure. re

introduction about the talking about the american hostages, i think that's him, again, playing to the american republicansl with him. and that's exactly the sort of language that trump would seize upon. it's exactly the language that these republicans who are resisting biden�*s urge to give more money, that it will appeal to them. so, putin is, as you say, playing the audience, he's playing our audience. and we should be just conscious of that and know that he's just trying to weaken our resolve, and it's our resolve that's going to decide this battle or not. major generaljonathan shaw. the european council has decided to open accession negotiations with ukraine and moldova and to grant candidate status to georgia. it comes as european union leaders have been meeting in brussels. it's a summit dominated by divisions between hungary and the rest of the bloc over ukraine. high on the agenda is a huge package of financial and military support which hungary has threatened to veto. our europe reporter sofia bettiza is following the story from brussels. quite a big development in the last few minutes after hour

republicans attack federal employees only to advance extreme policies that are out of step with the american people, from restricting reproductive care and their vindictive behavior is nothing new. in 2017, house republicans tried to eliminate one-third of the congressional budget office's staff. a nonpartisan impartial agency. why? because they didn't like the scores their bills were receiving. they didn't say they were wrong, but they said they didn't like them and had a way to go beyond them to fund projects they wanted to fund or policies they wanted to pursue. the people responsible for government oversight should not have to face repriceals for thorough and objective work. that's no way to run a country. no business on earth would conduct itself in this way. no employer that threatens to cut its employee's pay on a dollar can expect to retain top talent. they would simply walk out the door. the holman rule is not only vindictive, it endanger our democracy and our separation of powers. it's part of the politics of vindictiveness, the so-called revenge tour president trump promises to un

american people. but what we have seen from the very beginning of this do-nothing republican congress is chaos and dysfunction and extremism being inflicted on the american people. when it comes to this fraudulent impeachment inquiry, more than 100,000 pages of documents have been produced and reviewed. not a sin tila of evidence exists that president biden has broken the law. it's interesting to me, i wonder how my colleagues in new york and california, who were sent here to make life better for the american people explain this vote, which is not designed to improve the lives of the folks that we are privileged to serve, but it's a political hit job, a political stunt, political gamesmanship. people are tired of the brinksmanship and tired of this effort to score political points on a partisan basis as opposed to actually making a difference. house democrats will continue to put people over politics. we will continue to fight for lower costs, to grow the middle class, for safer communities, fight for reproductive freedom, defend democracy and build an economy from the middle out and bottom out as opposed to

decision was overturned abortion hasn't just been the top choice for democrats, it's for all americans. republicansout it's a morality question. this isn't negotiable whether it's 15 or 20 weeks. life begins at conception. a lot of staith who have inproduce i have and overexpensive restrictions are standing by their beliefs. there will be referendums on them and democrats will win them as they do in deep red states put kelly ann says we wake up january 6 get an abortion in my ev, so january 6 happened once for me. i haven't gotten an abortion or have an electric vehicle but you hear about women like kate cox in texas gets a diagnosis, her doctors say she needs abortion, lower court grants it is supreme court texas over rules it. people who want children should be able to have them. she has to leave the state to have that care. she has the means to do it which a lot of women don't and that will be on the ballot but you said there are no good polls. i'm not saying biden isn't in trouble. royaltiers had a poll of the 7 biggest swing states. biden is up 4. harvard kennedy poll of some people same margi

republicans have done nothing. they have the prong wrong priorities. the american people think they are failing miserably. and republicans need a diversion. so they are weaponizing and abusing impeachment. one of the most somber and serious things that congress can do to attack president joe biden. i get it. they are upheld donald trump lost. some of them still don't believe he lost. many of them are upset that his violent insurrection did not succeed on january 6. and today they want to finish the job. this is a continuation of the crusade to overturn the election. they have spent a year dredging up every conspiracy you can imagine against joe biden. . their own witnesses and internal documents say president joe biden is a man of integrity that follows the law. every single one of their crazy claims has been exhaustably debunked yet here we are the only thing they've uncovered is that joe biden is a good dad, that he loves his family. his son hunter lost his mom and sister in a terrible car accident, lost his brother to cancer. he experienced a lot of trauma, and sadly he got caught up with drugs, and rep

the calculation was that the american republican senator, james david vance, recognized two obvious thingsantasy 18 months ago. today it's fantastic. the only question is how much further destruction there will be. ukraine even used such arguments. if europe wants to carry out the energy transition, then it needs its own housing. the largest residential areas are located in the regions of donetsk and lugansk. well, the struggle for resources is as old as time, otherwise it’s all about values. let's show our citizens that europe can deal with migration effectively and humanely. let us again show the strength of our own sanctions policy. at the same time , the former leader, germany, is dragging the eurozone into recession. the last trumpet, now it's history. the legendary enterprise manasman, now valurek in düsseldorf, produces steel pipes here, or rather has been producing them since the end of the 19th century, employees staged a heartbreaking farewell ceremony. the decision to close the factory was made against the backdrop of discussions on 8 december. on december 1, the history of the

out-of-control biden administration that is bankrupting the american family, destroying the american dream. republicans in this body, this chamber have been advancing bill after bill that would help the american people, secure the border, have a strong national defense, help them afford education, stop the ridiculousness of these mandates driving up the cost of vehicles and send it over to the senate and it dice. the only question -- it dies. the only question is whether the democrats will stand up in this administration to change the policies of and ad administration undermining the american people and the american dream. that's the truth. that's the actual truth. i yield back. mrs. houchin: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: t he gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: i would remind the gentleman who just yelled at us his party is in charge and he talks about jamming things down the throats of the democrats and senate and white house as if somehow that's a way to get anything done for the american people? he talks about standing up. what did they do when

tonight, a rare moment in american history. republican george santos expel prd congress.htning rod for controversy even before being sworn into office. just the sixth congressman ever voted out of the house of representatives. the first in more than two decades. hounded by federal charges, ethics violations and lies about

purely theoretically, why should the republicans help biden, the republicans don’t want to be guilty, because a certain percentage of americansa field, on this field , but again, the republicans are afraid to take risks and say that biden is now, that is, if you completely refuse to support ukraine, and biden needs to be allowed to drown, because now for biden the ukrainian issue is a weight on his leg , it will pull him down, instead of a locomotive it has become a weight, so now this will happen, but i don’t think that now the conditions have already matured under which this will change radically. leopards have no reputation, iris has no reputation. patriot, well, it’s funny to say, now they have worked out in kiev that there is a patriot and that there is not a patriot. do you know what else is against this background? what is the most serious question that arises in the background? the americans will think very hard whether their soldiers will be able to show anything at all on any format of the battlefield, well, our jigs, i think , can do anything, and this is so. today is the anniversary of the creation of the ldpr, vl

neither will the american people that republicans off still blocking us funding. so you cranes vote against the new campus mckinnon. great to have you with us. after all, night talks of the you and global climate conference in dubai. countries have agreed to a deal which calls for transitioning away from all fossil fuels. some $200.00 countries agreed to a conference declaration of to much debate surrounding it's wood and also accusations of interference from fossil fuel industries. observers are describing the final deal as a major step forward in the flies, the gains climate change. i started the reached the you environment conference delegates agreed that fossil fuels have got to go to keep up efforts to get to know more than one and a half degrees of global warming by the middle of this century. fossil fuels are by far the biggest driver of human and used climate change. we have given at doodlebugs action plan to keep 1.5 within reach. this is a plan that is led by the science is a balance of the coast emissions. many will lead us present at the summit, see it

today i call on republicans to join democrats and pass the bipartisan background check act. background checks are popular. they're supported by over 90% of the american people, including a majority of republicans and even a majority of n.r.a. members. mr. speaker, background checks are effective. every day background checks stop more than 160 felons and more than 50 domestic abusers from getting a gun from a federally licensed dealer. i urge my colleagues to oppose the previous question so we can pass the bipartisan background check act, save lives, and help ensure that more american families never have to suffer the loss of a loved one. mr. speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. mrs. fischbach: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. mr. fischbach: i'm prepared to close. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is is recognized. ms. scanlon: with the rule we look at today, the republican party is in the chokehold of extreme members. they are finishing 2023 the way they started, ineffective and unconcerned for the american people. they've ignored the real problems facing our nation today, issues like the gun violence cris

rather than to the work of the american people, the work that the americans wanted to see this republicanority to, whether it's improving public safety, protecting and restoring basic freedoms, cutting the cost of living, economic concerns are top of mind for americans, as you know, especially with inflation what it is today. they are focused on gamesmanship and shenanigans to inflame tensions which is the only way they get reelected, scaring people rather than doing the work. >> some people say, mondaire, that politics is local politics. it's what's in our backyard. what is your district, the 17 congressional district, telling constituents that they want you to do because it is important to them? >> they want serious people in office. they want their member of congress to be a serious person who passed this legislation that has a real life impact for them. they are paying way too much for health care. they are concerned that the fundamental right to an abortion will no longer exist even in our home state of new york if there is a national abortion ban which is enacted. under speaker mike

american people do. we trust, house republicans trust the american people to draw their own conclusions. they should not be dictated by some narrative and accept that as facts. so they can review the tapes themselves. we are going through a methodical process of releasing them as quickly as we can. we have to blur some of the faces of persons who participated in the events of that day because we don't want them to be retaliated against. and to be charged by the d.o.j. and to have other concerns and problems. that's a slow process to get it done. we are working steadily on it. we hired additional personnel to do that. all of those tapes ultimately at the end will be out so everybody can see them and draw their own conclusion. back row. reporter: aid to ukraine and southern border security. what's the bare minimum there? would be acceptable to make that. speaker johnson: we are in negotiations on that right now. i'll just tell you that any national security package has to begin with the security of our own border. that's what the american people deserve. i have been all over it across this

region, each weighing about a hundredweight, and in the middle a skinny american, the head of the us treasury, elen, accused the republicans that all americans will bear responsibility for the defeat of ukraine and will pay in blood. this scare was voiced by salevan himself after a meeting with well-fed ukrainians. agree, it is gratifying when the enemy records reality and says frankly that it is the united states that is waging war against russia. i call on congress to act, to do the right thing, to support the people of ukraine, to stand up against putin's tyranny, stand for freedom, literally, stand for freedom, let's do it already, thanks to us, putin did not completely seize ukraine and did not go further, you heard me already talk about this, in truth, how many of our european friends will continue to finance ukraine in what volumes? is this extremely serious? if putin takes over ukraine, he will not stop there. it's important to take a long-term view here. he won't stop. he made this clear. putin attacks a nato ally. and if he continues like this and attacks on a nato ally, and we have pledged, as a nato member, to
