that they are, they are upset about this, and i think now it's compounded by very quickly the biden administrationath of this. and the response is instead of criticizing iran and joe biden hasn't spoken to that, they're leaking the fact that they're upset that the israelis may overreact to this exist -- existential threat, that they don't have a strategy and they might use this to further escalate. and i tell you, that's infuriating to the israelis as they face, again, an unprecedented, historic attack of this nature. and they're not real happy about being criticized and getting advice from, you know, the masters of disaster, biden, blinken, sullivan and if austin, you know? the architects of so many foreign policy failures who are now lecturing the israelis about what to do in this threat. maria: are you expecting a response from israel? to iran? >> absolutely. and i think that there should be, there must be. look, joe biden doesn't have any red lines. they get crossed. don't doesn't mean anything. but the israelis do have red lines, and a key nettic attack -- kinetic attack into israel by iran m

impeachment without so much as a trial, my senate democratic colleagues will be endorsing the biden administration's lawless approach to the southern border. they will be setting a precedent that the next administration can ignore the laws of congress and the will of the american people, too. impeachment matters, madam president. it's an important check we have on the executive branch. if we have an obligation to take it seriously. we have an obligation to give any charges brought the full trial they deserve. i'm going to have a resolution if i'm allowed to present it, madam president, that will give the procedures we need to conduct this trial fairly and efficiently and i will be bringing that at the appropriate time. it will be efficient. it will be fair, it will be honest, it won't uproot the longstanding precedent we have given to articles of impeachment in the past. if the majority leader -- if the majority leader and my democratic colleagues table or dismiss these charges and destroy senate precedence, precedence that we've established to conduct full and fair impeachment trials, they will reg

and president biden's administration refused to denounce that. when you can't stand up to chants of death for america in america, and then you walk away from your alley, israel -- ally, israel, this president has lost its way because he's worried about bowing to the radical left. who has walked away from israel. house republicans will continue to stand by our ally, especially in this time of war. as prime minister netanyahu and his whole coalition government stand united to eradicate this terrorist organization known as hamas. sponsored by iran. nobody should be walking away with -- from them. we should all be standing together. republican and democrat. to show our strength and solidarity with our great ally israel, we'll give everybody that opportunity on the house floor. with that, bring up our speaker, mike johnson. speaker johnson: thank you, mr. leader. appreciate you for being here. good morning. hope you had a good easter. we are back in business. a lot going on this week as you heard. i know you are in tune to that. as you know -- has bee

after two years the biden administration says there's a full range of existing lawful immigration pathways. >> florida is fighting this program in court right now and a group of house republicans have signed a letter demanding president biden terminate it, bret? >> bret: matt finn in el paso, matt, thanks. fox news has confirmed a report that a texas national guard soldier has been arrested after allegedly trying to smuggle an illegal immigrant across the border. police officials say the soldier used a government vehicle during sunday's attempt, we have just obtained dash cam video as you see here showing the guardsmen being pulled from the vehicle and arrested. who is allowed to enforce immigration law was up for discussion at a federal court in louisiana today. the biden administration insists it is a federal responsibility. the state of texas has a law that contradicts. this they are fighting it in court. correspondent david spunt is in new orleans tonight outside the courthouse. good evening, david. >> bret, good evening to you. two of the three judges on the federal appeals court pane

>> i think at some level, the biden administration the biden administration had to say, "we don't want you to do this publicly." but there was never really a whole lot of doubt that the israelis were not going to take that kind of an attack and do nothing. so, i think this was a great reading of the needle that allows biden to save face and benjamin netanyahu to let the israeli people know they will not be attacked without some retribution. and now iran is in a position where they can pretend this didn't actually happen. they actually claimed they shutdown something, which might have been one of those israeli spy birds they were talking about before. i don't think they actually got any of the aircraft. >> carley: jim, what do you think about iran's capability overall? you never want to underestimate your enemy but at the same time saturday, half of the ballistic missiles crashed or failed to miss the target. what are your thoughts on that? >> it is embarrassing. they pretend to and they postured and puffed up like there is some major military force. i think when you finally decide to m

the biden administration has surged emergency resources to try quickly reopen.he port president is continuing to lead a whole of government approach to the collapse. that includes a 60 million dollar down payment to start bridge reconstruction is going to be additional funding needed to get this done. timeline is going to be complicated. it is a complicated a scenario that's because additional funding will need bipartisan buy-in from congress and the constitution. we have responsibility for infrastructure sunday, nebraska republican congressman don bacon said he just wants to make sure the pay out is fair it does have a role with a stretch. i don't think it should be the sole, you a player, but south carolina democratic congressman jim clyburn argues this is the federal government's job. every state in the nation, all 50 of us we'll take out. turns needing this kind of assistance. maryland's democratic governor wes moore is urging congress to move quickly. this is national economic catastrophe. the economic impacts are already being felt locally. today, the acti

but the biden administration is not normal. indeed, this administration deliberately is undertaking policies to punish americans, undermine our core strengths, while continuing to empower our adversaries. now, okay, i know some of you watching, wow, that's a pretty big charge, dan. what are you talking about? well, let's get into that. what am i talking about? i have this chart right up here. the president is making a choice tomorrow. is he helping out with our dictatorship adversaries or help out working men and women in alaska and our country's national security? mr. president, let's take the example of iran. due to the successful comprehensive approach to sanctioning iran's energy sector, by the trump administration, by the end of the administration, three years ago, iranian exports were down to about 200,000 barrels a day, leaving iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, the country that swears to wipe israel off the m map, by the end of the trump administration's massive sanctions policy against iran, they had

if the biden administration had been forced six months trying to avoid avoid a regional escalation.l say that is effectively what they have got at this stage. >> is there an >> opportunity out of this great chalian? hinge nick, if you're still with us, many will say there is >> what's the thinking >> amongst those that you have been speaking to about what happens next? >> it's still what is held out there for israel is an off-ramp in gaza, a deal where israel can have peace but this is something that's over the horizon for um, for the netanyahu government, it's not something that they perhaps believe in and certainly don't want to reach for it i think in terms of you know, trying to de-escalate the broader tensions here. we circle back to the position that we've been until yesterday over gaza, which is the assessment, is that by and large the majority of people in israel don't want prime minister netanyahu running the country, but do want tend to take a tougher approach in terms of security, in terms of making sure hamas cannot attack them again and potentially they may. we haven't

whatever they want she was amazed at hypocrisy on supply, this is a pattern of defiance, by the biden administration just goes to show how little they care about the rule of law how little they are care about norms biden always like to claim he defends. >> you mentioned steve bannon serving jail time peter navarro in jail look at people they put in jail for january 6 have not done anything were in washington didn't even realizes what was going on sitting in prison, and then you know you've got murderers, like murderer of laken riley was in jail out again all people committing serious crimes processed out on the street again and again and again how shameful. >> it is a part of those policies i mentioned earlier are that cater to criminals, punishing law-abiding citizens i think that more attention needs to be drawn to the january 6 cases because again there seems to be, an over disproportionate application to as i mentioned have not even been charged with serious offenses. maria: i would like to see how many fbi agents were in plainclothes that day i really would there is some horrible stories about

certainly that is one of the reasons the biden administration would not support an effort to on pausentioned young voters. president biden is headed to wisconsin today. expected announcement on student loan debt relief. guest: i believe i saw headline that will apply to about 23 million people. certainly this is an issue that leader schumer and elizabeth warren and others have all been really fired up about. they would like to see the biden administration do everything in their power to cancel as much debt as possible in your continuing to see the administration rollout these efforts and clearly it makes a big difference for a lot of people. host: (202) 748-8000 for democrats, (202) 748-8001 for republicans bang, and (202) 748-8002 for independents. we are talking with anthony and drag a looking at the week ahead -- we are talking with anthony adragna. we watch the sunday shows every week to find out the latest of what is going on and what sets the message this week in washington. it seems like there continues to be a lot of discussion about military aid for israel and funding for isr

in three years the biden administration has accomplished what took 12 years for the obama and trump administration. law enforcement focus response on migrant crossing has caused security missions including drug interdiction to take a hit, staffing shortage have led the agency to temporarily close international bridges imports which it had a severe and negative impact on texase border communities.ex and cities across the country including those located thousands of miles from the border are being crushed the weight of caring for migrants. well, that's hardly a positive reflection on secretary mayorkas whose tenure as dhs secretary. throughout the secretaries of tenure, rather than acknowledge the reality and double down endeavors to deal with it, he essentially tried to gloss over or ignore it. the american people t have watcd as he is repeatedly downplayed the severity of the border crisis using watered-down language like it's a challenge, or situation. they are disputed his claims that the board is secure as they saw footage of migrants walking virtually unimpeded across the border and filling sh

the biden administration has very specifically taken iran off the table as a target.s is it they are not a target, there is no deterrence. we see the biden administration trying to come up with anyway to prevent israel from giving a response. whether it is to say the u.s. will not be a part of any strike against iran, that it's a strike against that continuation. whether it is a we don't want to see armed ships to israel, the list goes on and on of ways they are showing that they are not ironclad. about as ironclad as a handshake with a used car salesman. >> publicly telling iran don't, and yet they did. how about that? >> that goes to what i just spoke about. he gave a statement of don't which the world already knew, any intelligence agency can specifically go back in reference general mackenzie sank the biden administration took iran off the table. they are not a target. there is no deterrent. iran is not deterred. if they feel like the united states of america is not planning on putting any type of direction. >> calling for strongly standing with israel. does that

the initial start when the zianis entity was declaring that they would invade rafah, um, the biden administration... had its empty words, but they immediately approved like arms transfers, and mind you, marwa, the whole rhetoric is false, because even back in november, biden then said that uh, conditioned aid to israel was was a worthy thought uh, as per this report by political, but he never actually followed up on it, of course, so an article entitled no conditions on future israel aid, despite biden's worthwhile thought quip, written by alexander ward and jonathan lamier who said that days later after biden's statement, senior us off. officials hit the sunday shows to rule out the proposal, hinting but not outright saying that there wouldn't be a shift in the administration's israel policy, so political reported that one of biden administration official suggested that biden's side made in response to a reporter's question was less about siting with progressive sentiment and more of a window into his private frustrations with israely prime minister benjamin netanyahu, so this reflects of course

they've got the biden administration, they've got the europeans and the united nations all appearing to be on hamas's side against israel. they want to continue this war. but there is pressure coming from some of the arabs and some others for them to do a deal to release at least some of the hostages. the israelis have mostly pulled out of rafah for the moment. we have to underscore that for the moment. so i still think it's a 60/40 proposition. >> dana: i think it might be more prisoners than that that the palestinians want. >> bill: of their demands, 100 are in jail for convictions for killing israelis. upwards of 700 or 800. >> dana: always lopsided. they know the israeli pepeople will do what is needed to be done. the war could end tomorrow if they release the hostages. hamas said they can't release 40 hostages because a significant number aren't alive but won't release the names. the cruelty is unbelievable. a reporter wrote this. if the jewish state can be bullied into letting hamas survive how can any free nation defend itself? under global public opinion the biden administrat

michael waltz was on america reports earlier today and he addressed that point, he said the biden administrationver the unfortunate tragic incident because what you mentioned happening in afghanistan. >> under president biden, we had a civilian aid worker strike during the disgraceful withdrawal from afghanistan. let's save a bit of the public righteous indignation when it comes to our ally clearly making a mistake. >> john: in the drone strike which the pentagon initially said was a righteous strike, that aid worker was killed along with nine members of his family. seven of them children. so is there a lesson about glass houses and stones? >> there's always a lesson like that and look what happened in afghanistan was really the bloom coming off the rose for the biden administration and it showed his court promise of we've got this and we are going to be completely competent wasn't completely true but also who and what matters in this situation. whatever happened we're going to investigate this, is a tragedy but the reality is it also happened to the wrong aid workers. what i mean by that is jos

last year alone, the biden administration paroles 1.2 million people. we are doing whole classes of people, a clear abuse of power. this administration is also abusing the asylum system. secretary mayorkas has overseen the department of homeland security with both this new policy and parole and what's going on in asylum. think about this. say your someone who comes across that border and you are granted parole to get into this country like the venezuelan accused of killing laken riley, you get into this country, what is the first you are doing? you are contacting folks back home to tell them what happened to you? this creates more incentive for people to come here illegally. it's part of why we have this problem. we need to explore topics like this, or perhaps the democrats know how bad this is and don't want to defend the catastrophe that's going on at the southern border, they don't want to have to defend the administration's policy. what secretary mayorkas has been doing with regard to parole. maybe they think it's bad too and don't want to have to de

true. thanks mara. so well let us begin by saying that none of that is true. so you see the biden administration is preparing to send more bombs and other weapons designist israel that would add to its military arsenal even as biden keeps publicly pushing for sease fire in gaza. so this mara is according to the walls journal which reported uh last week citing current and former us officials, so the proposed arms delivery includes mk82 bombs and kmu 572 joint direct action munitions that add precision guidance to bombs and fmu 139 bomb fuses at value estimated to be in the tens of millions of dollars, oh tens of millions of dollars and still no condition on that, no condition and no strings uh so it's true that the congressional committee leaders would have to approve this transfer first, but as we remember in december 2023, the biden administration skipped congressional review of uh israely weapon sales to israel, not once but twice, so what's going to stop them from doing it a third time? absolutely nothing, so not congress essentially uh, it's enough that the biden administration continues to

i hope that the biden administration has talked . days? i administration has talked cool heads into prevailing within israel. some reporting suggest that israelis want to immediately launch a counter—attack which likely would have been devastating. we do not know what the targets were. some suggested could be iranian nuclear sites on a rainy and soil. the administration, the biden administration, the biden administration was able to walk that back with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that the israelis will respond and they will respond with force. it could be a combination combination of physical and kinetic attacks combined with cyber attacks as well. ~ ., ., ,, combined with cyber attacks as well. ~ ., ., , ., ~' combined with cyber attacks as well. ~ ., ., ~ ., well. what do you think that then means _ well. what do you think that then means for _ well. what do you think that then means for us - well. what do you think that then means for us support i well. what do you think that - then means for us support when we know the

laken riley is dead because of the policies of the biden administration. specifically the parole policies that release people into our country to kill americans. that is what has been happening. yet we are going to do nothing about t we have legislation right now that would fix the problem in significant part. h.r. 2. we passed it a year ago. it is a great bill. i support the bill. i support what's in it. it changes the policies. frankly, policies that president obama and jeh johnson asked us to change. it change the policies of abuse, parole and asylum by this administration. we should get it signed into law. the only way to force democrats to do it is to use leverage. and we are not going to. despite the fact that the speaker of the house repeatedly has said in january, at the border, a trip i didn't take because i knew full well what would happen, it would be a show trip. that's exactly the truth. if president biden wants a supplemental spending bill focused on national security, it better begin with defending america's national security. we wanted to g

so this is one of the reasons it seems to me the biden administration was pressing that getting these eliminating these last few battalions in gaza enormous cost it's not worth it because there will always be insurgents out there well, i would agree to you acute could eliminate hamas as a military threat. you can't get rid of the idea of hamas anywhere, anywhere. you can get rid of the idea of isis or al-qaeda or even the muslim brotherhood. yes, it's going to be a long-term insert a counterinsurgency fight such, as the american wage in iraq. and eventually one through its surge in iraq and so yes, israel will have to continue to fight various cells of hamas that will spring up and not just in gaza, but in the west bank as well it's an ongoing fight, but eliminating these battalions will remove hamas's ability to reorganize and restage these types of attacks. absolutely crucial if the biden administration says as a consequence of israel doing this, suddenly they've been saying in the past, it was really policy on raffa doesn't change. then american policy toward israel will have to ch

decades so right now about 10% of chips are made in the united states and the goal of the biden administration that number up administration is to get that number up to 20% by the end of this decade and that is why we are these huge investments which are part of the chips acts which was a big legislative package that was gone through in august of 2022, 50 $3 billion at stake there and they frame it up in two ways, the biden administration. the talking about mother said, administration. the talking about mothersaid, reclaiming us independent and us dominance in this industry but they are also casting it as a national security imperative, saying that the us cannot be reliant on foreign competitors for some of this emerging technology that goes towards powering everything from our smartphones and our cars to our militaryjets and some of the most advanced competing we see these days with artificial intelligence. the advanced competing we see these days with artificial intelligence.— with artificial intelligence. the us havinu with artificial intelligence. the us havin: to with artificial intellige

for example, the biden ministration wants to talk about day after scenario for gaza. might administration wants to talk about the possibility of involving the palestinian authority, which will be revamped a revitalized, with a role in governance postwar gaza, that biden pathway to a palestinian state. i think it's worthwhile for israel to engage in all of these about this. the day after post-world planning it seemed to me we're just saying that israel will have to be essentially in a permanent occupation of golf as i because there will be an insurgency and it will have to fight it. how could, how is that compatible with handing over power? the be is not going to take over. >> and and enforce israel's security concerns by shooting palestinians. >> is it i don't think it necessarily involves a long-term occupation, but does does involve a long-term israeli evolvement insecurity and israel's involved in security dirty control, even in areas under the palestinian authority in the west bank. >> so there are models for this. >> michael are always good to have you on great to, be with you too. t

denied that opportunity to take care of our residents in community with this decision by the biden administration. it is insulting and unfortunately representative of the federal government's treatment of our indigenous voices for decades. so, mr. president, and i'm talking now about president biden, don't keep calling yourself the most important administration with regard to indigenous people. you are screwing the people of the north slope of alaska. let me continue. this is another leader, tribal secretary doreen leavitt, who i also know, from a great family. quote, as the north slope's federally recognized tribe, we have experienced a severe lack of progress, meaningful engagement, including a lack of notice for tribal consultation, something we are still waiting for to this day from the biden administration. as a federally recognized tribe, we are required to follow federal laws and policies when engaging in government relationships, but the biden administration has failed to follow its own policies, executive orders and department consultation guidelines. unquote. that's the tribal secretary

will the biden administration support israel? will it stand on the sidelines? god forbid, would it support iran? what would iran do? iran has a lot of missiles and drones left that it could launch another attract. unless you follow the money, unless you deny iran the financial ability to wage an expensexpensive aware, iran is g to keep waging the wars. iran has had the same goal since the iranian revolution in 1978. get the united states divided from israel, drive a wedge between the u.s. and israel and once israel is isolated go in and finish the job. they thing have a wedge between the united states and israel. so president biden thinking well, if we step back from israel a little bit, it's going to be great for us politically in dearborn, michigan, we're going to win michigan, win re-election but they're making a bigger war more likely because if israel looks alone and then iran goes in for the kill, the made it clear for 45 years, that's what they want to. rachel: before we go, you talk about follow the money. it's also follow the politics. you alluded to d

they are saying that commitment is still ironclad >> this is a really important time for the biden administration and many around the world will be picking a part. it's it's conduct and certainly it's response many will remember joe biden very forcefully addressing iran in the past, what, 72 hours with a don't line. if you're thinking about attacking israel, don't he said they did jennifer many will say that response was well telegraphed, gave israel and its allies time to get themselves in position to defend israel from what was a synchronized launch of drones and ballistic missiles and effort. if you will, to test israel. and its allies defense systems what are you hearing from state about the support? by israel's allies the support for the us and israel by israel and the us allies internationally and particularly in this region well, we've seen, i'm trying to walk this very fine line as you know, a lot of the air partners and the region had been very against what israel is doing in gaza from the >> very get-go, they have come out against some of these operations that have been undertaken in ga

i will give the biden administration credit. we sat at this table where we talked about the fact that the biden administration from the president down counseling the prime minister to not do this or that and to do this or do that and have the prime minister laugh in the face of the president? over the last month now, it seems as though the come to jesus phone call the president and prime minister had -- since then, it appears the prime minister has been listening and heeding the warning over all sorts of things they talked about doing including an invasion of rafa. i think the fruit is bearing out on the president's very painstaking and patient quiet diplomacy and public diplomacy. william: do you agree that is what is happening? that we are seeing a shift? david: israel will do what is in its interests. it would be a disaster for israel and the region long-term if hamas was allowed to survive. i'm still reasonably confident that they will go into rafa. the question is how they will do it. but it is not in israel's view to have

so, after october 7, president biden and administration came out very strong supporting israel. t, from a week out from then, and ever since we have seen biden and his administration, backtrack everything they have said. i am telling you, we need to support israel. if they do not get rid of hamas, we will see this again and again. so, let's talk about the innocent civilians that were lost on that day, including americans. at the hands of hamas. president biden you need to stick up for israel. >> yeah, stick up for your defense secretary and for israel, austin is telling the truth. according to to tom cotton, he said he asked the heads of spy agencies they would not make a statement about genocide, austin is first to make a statement. you may have been in those intel briefings but i'm saying that is terrific. now, why don't we just let israel be israel and idf be idf and finish the job in south gaza and rafah, let them do it. >> right. and so, we would never be okay with another country coming into the united states and saying, hey, i know it is only a week since 9/11, or hey, 6 m

the biden administration is shutting down baseload at record amounts. 20000 gigawatts of power under reat biden regulation. it's not 2035, 2025 -- 26 will have skyrocketing electricity prices around the corner because of what biden is doing driving demand up and supply down with red tape. >> if trump becomes resident again, what governor burnham become secretary of energy? >> i think the key thing is to focus on president trump win winning. it's flattering to be considered the key thing is everybody has got to pull together because none of these changes can happen in a second biden term, back to obama's second term, that's when they dialed up regulations so what we see today is horrible, job killing stuff but second biden administration would be devastating for our economy in the world because when you kill u.s. energy, you have dictators. >> i've got to go but if asked by president trump if he comes next president, would you accept the job as energy secretary? >> i think president trump will have plenty of good choices and a great team at the time of his choosing. >> great to see you

meanwhile, the biden administration has allowed the uranian regime to build up a ghost fleet of tankers which are third country flag tankers. that fleet grew from about 70 vessels at the beginning of the administration to almost 400 tankers today. the uranian regime used that ghost fleet to ship over 1 billion barrels of oil and to make unaccountable tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars. when joe biden came into power iran was selling roughly 300,000 barrels of oil per day. today due to the biden administration appeasement of iran, iran is selling roughly 2 million barrels of oil per day. those billions of dollars went directly to fund terrorism. they went to the houthis, to hamas, they pay for the houthis terrorism and their weapons. they paid for the october 7 atrocities in israel. the biden administration refused to meaningfully enforce our sanctions, and we are and the consequences with war in the middle east. in your judgment, how has the biden administration's appeasement of iran and refusal to enforce sanctions against iran how is that worked up for the safety and security

in three years and biden administration hascc accomplishd what took 12 years for the obama and trump nistration. law enforcement focused response on migrant crossing is because security measures including drug interdiction. to take a hit. staffing shortages have led the agency to temporarily close international bridges and ports. which have had a severe negative impact on texas border communities. cities across the country including those located thousands of miles from the border are crushed with the weight of caring for migrants. that is hardly a positive reflection on secretary mayorkas' tenure as dhs secretary. throughout the secretary's secrs tenure rather than acknowledge the reality double down and efforts to deal with it he ties to gloss it over downplayed the severity of the border crisis using watered-down language like it is a challenge disputed his claims the border is secure i saw footage of a migrants walking virtually unimpeded to capacity and beyond. try to blame congress for the crisis of not less laws and if x prompted the dramatic spike in illegal immigration. the t

of a run -- of iran, but they did it in a restrained way and i have to give credit to the biden administrationere a lot of people in the netanyahu administration that wanted massive retaliation. iran's response was muted. it leads me to believe that there is a week of de-escalation. william: how do you see friends's and in the use of american soft and hard power here? >> i would amplify would david said. i will give the biden administration credit. how many times have we said at this table were we talked about the fact that the biden administration from the president on down counseling the prime minister to not do this, not do that, do this or do that, and have the prime minister left in the president's face? over the last month and out it seems as though the come to jesus phone called the president and the prime minister had, ever since then it appears the prime minister has been listening and heeding the council and the warning coming from the administration about all sorts of things it was going to do whether it is the invasion of rafah or pleading for them not to respond in a massive way a

million were desperately needed and we got it immediately thanks to the commitment of the biden administration. i want to thank administrator guzman. i talked to her the day or two after the episode. i had a roundtable discussion to talk to small businesses to find out what they need, they have idle loans and they set up recovery centers so the businesses can get the help they need on site. i was there and met with a lot of small business owners, they have lots of questions. they impressed upon me the urgency of their needs and than we need to coordinate our response. i want to give a shutout also to the department of labor that have provided us with replaced worker grants so we can deal with those directly impacted. mayor scott of baltimore has been one of our great leaders, johnny o'shefskey and others have all been involved with this along with senator van hollen and i want to thank our colleagues, senator schumer who said he was there to help, i want to thank senator mcconnell for his comments. he said in situations like this, whether it's a hurricane in florida or accident like this, the

this is taking on the biden administration this is holding them accountability and 88 billion dollarsease iranian oil sales. what -- is happening within our conference is undermining our ability to govern and hold this administration accountable. speaker johnson like speaker mccarthy before him is doing the right thing by putting critical legislation on the floor in favor of the american people and in favor of america's role in the world. we are the leader of the free world. we cannot sees to be that shining city on a hill and when you see what is happening with russia, china, and iran -- and their unholy alliance that seeks to undermine destabilize free world i'm frankly flabbergasted by colleagues who have bought into the nonsense coming out of russia -- and elsewhere as opposed to stanging by president reagan's mantra of peace through strength. speaker johnson deserves the support not only of the republican conference but of the institution. he's doing what is right. at the right moment for the right reasons -- knowing full well it may cost him his job. but frankly, i think the ins

today's hearing comes at a crucial moment in this committee's investigation into the biden administration catastrophic withdrawal from afghanistan. four months after president biden announced the withdrawal, his senior military advisers and his own intelligence committee repeatedly issued dire warnings about the damage this would create. at the same time, i, along with other republican and democrat members of congress urged president biden to uphold the conditions of the doha agreement. and most importantly we urged him to prepare for the eventual fallout of our withdrawal. he ignored us and all including his own state department personnel who issued a dissent cable in july warning of the dire situation on the ground. instead, as the taliban takeover became imminent, the white house and state department leadership stuck their heads in the sand. it was so bad the state department waited until the day after the taliban captured kabul, to request an emergency evacuation, also known as a neo- . as a result of the failure of plan, the u.s. military was forced to conduct the emergency evacuatio

i know that the biden administration has reached out to you and your family. fbi is analyzing that video leased yesterday. what stood out to you? i think this is the first proof of life so far. >> we've always believed that he was alive. we have to believe he's alive, and his wife, my aunt, who was held for 52 days, released in the deal that took place in november, she was with him. when she came out she told us he was alive, but this is the first time that we're seeing him, hearing him. it's surreal. >> you have 205 there, that's the number of days he has been held. in the video your uncle under duress mentions the protests that have been taking place in israel, pressuring the government for a deal. do you think that a deal can be reached at this point, and is it up to the united states to close it? >> i do think a deal can be reached. i mean, we know that. a deal was reached in november. dozens of women and children were released, including my aunt, so we know that it's possible. i think that's really important to remember. the united states plays a critical

last year alone, this biden administration paroled into the country 1.2 million people. we're doing whole classes of people. it a clear abuse of power. this administration is also abusing the asylum system. and secretary mayorkas has overseen the department of homeland security with both this new dollcy in -- policy in parole and what's going on in asylum. think about this, say you're somebody who comes across that border and you are granted parole to get into this country, like jose aybara, the venezuelan accused of killing laken riley, and you get into this country -- what's the first thing you're doing? contacting folks back home to tell them what happened to you. this creates more incentive for people to come here illegally. it's part of why we have this problem. we need to explore topics like this. or perhaps the democrats know how bad this is and don't want to defend the catastrophe going on at the southern border. they don't want to have to defend this administration's policy, what secretary mayorkas has been doing with regard to parole. maybe they think it's bad t

have become a major source of growing tension between washington and beijing ever since the biden administrationuctor chips over national security concerns. chinese officials have warned of an escalating trade war even as a biden promises more tariffs on china. biden's trip also comes as a anti-israel protests continue on college campuses, but biden has no plans to visit columbia university or nyu today even as he plans to wrap up his visit to new york in nearby westchester with a star-studded and very expensive fund raising dinner tonight. mean if while, there is a protest planned here in syracuse, new york, by the democratic socialists of america. they say on instagram that, quote, genocide joe is not welcome in syracuse. they're demanding a permanent ceasefire in gaza. they also want an end to funding for israel just one day after president biden signed that foreign aid bill sending aid e to israel, ukraine and taiwan. so we're watching for all of that, a maria. back to you. maria: thanks very much, lydia hu, this morning in syracuse, new york. mean while, investment management firm says fear

well thank you so for having me and i want to add that i had the pleasure of working in the biden administration, the trump administration an obama or clinton, bush and reagan. so from from reagan to trump, it is a really interesting pathway to be looking at or reviewing it were, you know, the challenge and it was wonderful policy and a wonderful achievement to get the abraham accords don't think you will find anyone who won't give props to that i was one of the high achievements of the trump administration. i think we all see at this point that there was a fundamental flaw in the thinking about hind it and that you could move forward with all of these countries and ignored the palestinians and that is what is tripped us all at this point to to state it very lightly. the key as well as a block to expanding the abraham accords and really having them cemented and enriched goes to palestinians treatment the gaza strip and the day after this is over. so do you think before october 7th, the only countries according to the israeli government, that they did not have some sort of diplomatic or other rel

of course after october 7th, president biden and the administration came out very strong, supporting d ever since we've seen biden and his administration basically backtrack everything they have said. i am telling you, we need to support israel. if they do not get rid of hamas, we will see this again and again. so let's, let's talk about the innocent civilians that were lost on that day, including americans at the hands of hamas. president biden, you need to stick up for israel. >> yeah you need to stick up for your defense secretary. you need to stick up for israel. austin is telling the truth. according to tom cotton, your colleague, our friend, cotton said he asked the heads of the spy agencies and they wouldn't, they wouldn't make a statement about genocide. so austin is the first guy to make a statement. you may have been in those intel briefings as well, ma'am, but i'm just saying that is terrific stuff. now, why don't we just let israel be israel and the idf be the idf and go on ahead and finish the job in south gaza and rafah? let's just let them do it. >> right, exactly. we w

very heavily for its support of israel and you get the impression that the biden administrations doing something politically suicidal in supporting israel in this way and some interpreted the primary results in michigan as confirming of serious risk for the administration. sort of presumably wiser experts in political opinion and pulling experts think that actually although the protests have been quite vociferous, that most americans, and even a majority of democrats, favor american support for israel's response to the crisis thus far. that is not reported on very heavily so we tend to lose sight of it but the administration is not losing sight of it. nevertheless, they have to balance their game and you can see the way in which they have in part by abstaining from a particular u.n. security resolution. return of hostages to a cease-fire and the sanctioning of four settler activists on the west bank for their egregious acts. so the administration is finding new things and in the president's remarks the other day i think were primarily intended to affect a domestic audience. when

westerman: the biden administration's actions to restrict access to vital and scarce minerals does not make sense for our national security, for the people of northern minnesota or president biden's goals to build out energy production and achieve zero emissions. i urge support of h.r. 3195 and the rights to access abundant resources, i yield back. mr. stauber: mr. speaker, i have no further requests for time and continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlelady from california. ms. porter: i would like to respond. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. porter: the boundary waters are not a bathtub, the water flows from one pla to the other. in this case the watershed flows north, meaning it would flow past the mine and into the protected wilderness. my colleague said thereould be no mining in the boundary waters, but there would be waste, there would be pollution in those waters because of the watershed. this is exactly why we should rely on the scientific process and the conclusion of the forest service th

the biden administration is flying people in from venezuela from haiti last year 320,000 people the bideninistration flew from their countries to america to over 40 different airports in america they won't say which ones you want to know who the tragic story about a haitian the biden administration flew in from haiti flew him into boston massachusetts then he was arrested for brutally raping a 15-year-old girl who is severely disabled that's what the biden administration doing literally bringing criminals to our communities it's texas and florida and every other state in the union. >> sean: i've said it before it's a tipping point and inflection point. i've never been more concerned about the country borders, the economy, law & order, america's place in the world, war in europe and the middle east things eating out more every day and new axis of evil these are consequential times it will be a consequential election we will live with the government we vote for. and what makes that perfectly clear the democratic party abandoning israel chuck schumer demanding the elected leader of israel st
