you know this is a good bill. this is a good bill. we are above the president's numbers both in milcon and in veterans and it's just a matter of how you look at things as to whether the social things that we talk about have concern or don't have concern among our various people. we're speaking about the things that concern us that are causing people not to want to join the military because of the added on governmental interference in their lives by these various things that have been set out in regulations, and we're trying to correct that. but whatever happens, every bill we have, somebody doesn't like something about it, but the reality is we have worked hard. i want to thank my staff, thank all the staffs for working together on this to come up with a good bill. it deserves a vote a positive vote on the bill. and i hope all of my colleagues will >> next, the launch of the boeing starliner mission from cape canaveral florida, then highlights from president biden's state visit to france, ander, dr. anthony fauci former nih director,

his previously misnamed bills, if you read the bill, that's not what it does at all.n firearm accessories, not just bump is from the text of the bill. the bill bans any manual power driven or electronij device primarily designed or redesigned so that when the device is attached to a■ç semiautomatic firearm, the device materially increases the rate of fire o in short this doesn't ban bump stocks. this bill would ban literally any item that makes a firearm to shoot. we're talking about competition or adjustable triggers. we're also talking about items that reduce the hand and the trr like certain firearms or groups. again it's not just about bump at's why disabled veterans hate this bill. i've heard about veterans in neas this bill. sometimes veterans who are disabled or elder the stock or firearm to make it easier and safer to shoot. the constitution protects their right the second amendment. this bill would take that constitutional r■" away from the sameu6 men and women who fought for our constitution. this bill doesn't even define att' regulate. the bill uses the phr

importantly these bills to what appropriations bills are intended to do.und the core missions of the federal agency and not some fanciful wish list. to this end the state and foreign operations-related program allocates over $12 billion below the president's budget request while the defations act receives a modest 1%cation increase in accordance with the fiscal responsibility act signed into law last year. for much of the same reason noted above ixpect members across the aisle may find fault with these bills. certainly we welco their remarks and welcome the debate. however, i would like to points on the matter. over 10,000ions were considered in the appropriations process this year.y were incorporated into the base bill. these districts and equally our nation as we look to ensure the security and prosperity over the coming years. the world h dangerous. we are living knife's edge. one simple miscalculation us into some unimaginable scenario. when president biden took office, it wasn't necessarily this way. bu the biden administration, he's failed to reverse

unfortunately, i read the bill.a drafted, poorly thought out messaging bill that hasn't gone process, that hasn't gone through regular order, thaha through, no amendments are allowed on the floor, and the author defends it on the theory that, well, if the bill is poorly drafted, the senate will save us and correct it. we cannot vote yes on a bill today that is this infirm and count on the senate to clean it up.gain the republican party has decided to hurt israel for its own benefit israel has one -- benefit. israel has one friend in the world, the united states. israel has survived because it has had the support of both political parties. 76 years of israel's existence, democrats half the power in this city. republicans about half the time have been in control. if israel's to survive another 76 years, it will ed the support of both parties. yet the purpose of this bill, which masquerades as pro-israel, like so many bills' brought up s messaging bills, is to drive a party and israel. for the benefit not of israel but

to the bill. much like last year, the fiscal year 2025 state and foreign operations bill resurrects the doomed isolationism of the early 20th century. just a few months after democrats and republicans voted for final bipartisan 2024 funding bills, the majority proposes that we decimate the state and foreign operations bill with a 12% cut. let us take stock for a moment. around the globe, america's adversaries threaten the peace and prosperity of the free world with wars in the middle east and europe and humanitarian crises on nearly every continent, the world is yearning for american leadership. not since the cold war have our diplomatic influence and soft power been more critical to keeping americans safe. yet house republicans have proposed a bill that would diminish america's world leadership and obstruct our ability to support our allies, to deter our adversaries, to surpass our competitors, to maximize our influence, and to continue leading the free world. whether we are talking about our dip

>> exactly, bill. utah governor says his state situation is completely unacceptable and denver mayor mike johnson's office is telling us they have been incredibly transparent about immigrants sent here by texas governor greg abbott. his office says it served 42,000 and most arrivals never intended to stay in denver. in a statement that's why part of our operations include purchasing tickets for newcomers to get to their desired location where they may have support networks or job opportunities. governor cox says utah doesn't have support networks or job opportunities for the 2,000 migrants denver sent to his state and he accused denver of sending them without proper notification posting on x every state received illegal immigrants and utah's resources are depleted. one homeless shelter in utah told us it is at capacity. >> not only are we dealing with other people and their issues but dealing with the local families that are having a really tough time right now. >> the mayors of new york, chicago and d

this bill also holds the v.a. may pose a danger to themselves or others. it would hamper efforts to prevent veterans from dying by suicide. and this bill zeros out funding for clite and resilience projects, something that will jeopardize security bt means our military installation also not be prepared for the realities of the climate crisis. at the end of the day, this funding bill is full of poison pills that endanger our national security and threaten the quality of life for veterans, those who serve, and their families. again, this should have been ea. should have been a bipartisan bill whereery littler dissention, and they turned it into this horrific culture war bill filled with very divisive and have no business being in the■Ñ m appros bill. second, on the agenda,s h.r. 8282, a bill that imposes sanctions on the good people who he international criminal court families. i know members have a variety of thoughts on frankly i think this is a bad, bad bill. the idea that the i.c.c. is some evil institution is to

>> bill: bill melugin will never forget that moment. you have 8 million crossed the border illegally since biden took office. the new order who allow 1.8 million, however, 1.8 million into the country every year. >> dana: bill melugin is live in california with more. >> good morning to you. it was business as usual out here last night. president biden's executive order took effect at midnight. we did not see any migrant rush trying to get in before that executive order took effect. this is what we saw at sunset. 20 or 30 minutes before midnight eastern. we saw this little group of mostly chinese and vietnamese illegal immigrants who came across. once midnight hit they were being processed and not like an alarm went off and all the border patrol agents blocked everybody. we show you what we saw earlier in the afternoon. look at this. a bigger group middle eastern men who crossed illegally here. several of them those special interest aliens we're talking about. coming from countries that dhs has concerns about for potential national secur

that's where things stand right now, bill. >> bill: thank you. we'll be watching it and maybe get more progress this afternoon. analysis now, gillian. >> gillian: let's bring in shannon bream, "fox news sunday" anchor. shannon, last hour we had andrew cherkasky on saying the sum total of yesterday's witness testimony from hallie biden was sort of put the nail in the coffin for hunter for lack of a better word. what was your takeaway? >> it all comes down to the jury. last week we were waiting to hear from the jury in president trump's new york city trial, same thing here. this is delaware, though, for the hunter biden family, this is much more friendly territory and all you need is one person on the jury to decide the prosecution has not made the case or not connected the dots enough for me and enough to shut the whole thing down. they are the only audience that matters. interesting to see how they are digesting all of this different testimony. it was moving to hear from hallie biden yesterday and just about the terrible place that hunter was in

a say in the bill.ikewise i want to express my appreciation for each of the members that voted to advance this legislation out of committee. chairwoman stabenow also recently released her farm bill framework, putting the senator majority's priorities on paper and advancing the discussion forward. cumiatively these efforts exhibit the first real progress towards passage of a new farm bill since the process began two years ago. this week republicans on the agriculture committee are building on that momentum by releasing our farm bill framework. we believe our framework reflects the chamber's shared commitments across all 12 title, while putting more farm in the farm bill. something we've been calling for since the onset. let's talk about what that means. it means we directly -- we direct additional resources to the tools farmers rely on and they're calling for us to invest in while ensuring we do no harm to our nutrition programs0% of the bill's baseline spending. for example, we doubled the funding for t

cipro abortion bill designed to deter the women's health bill is designed to keep the issue reproductive rights top of mind so you forget about the crisis at the border and you forget about the threats to our national security around the world. given the senate's long to-do list i think there's a better way to spend a chambers time. at two and a half day workweek truncated work. the time we placed it here on nominees and political showboats this is no way to run the senate and it's certainly not the way republicans will do things if we were to gain control of the chamber next year. mr. president i yield the floor. >> the right to contraception ff providing access to contraception. it's important the american people understand what the democrats are peddling.re senator markey's bill creates a precedent to mandate access to abortion drugs for women and girls of all ages. it also allows taxpayer dollars to be funneled through organizations like planned parenthood. the bill removes conscious freedom protections which allow our doctors and nurses to maintain their religious and moral beliefs

bill. >> bill: more to come. matt finn. thank you, southern california.he border yet again. >> dana: commuters taken hostage as a gunman hijacks an atlanta bus. this is all too real. >> it could have been much worse. started with a 911 call from a passenger on the bus saying they were being held hostage by a gunman. when police arrived and confronted the alleged gunman he hijacked the bus with 17 people on board leading to a terrifying chase from downtown atlanta through three georgia counties yesterday. police say the suspect held the bus driver at gun point the entire time. the hijacker warning the bus driver over and over again not to stop the bus as they sped down the i-85 highway. the bus crashed into multiple vehicles including a police car. officers attempted to stop the bus using stop sticks to deflate the tires but with no luck. police were able, though, to get vital information during the chase thanks to a passenger who called 911 and kept the line open. one man received a frantic call from his wife on board that bus. he used her phone location

bill melugin is back in southern california to watch it all as you have all week, bill.ing, hello. >> good morning to you. it is business as usual out here. mass illegal crossings, mass catch and release and badly outnumbered border patrol agents. look at the video. we shot it late yesterday after in california. this is what border patrol that's to deal with here. one single agent on hand trying to chorale the group of 150 people from around the world who just crossed illegally. this group waited for over five hours for border patrol to pick them up. impatient. people from egypt. turkey, china, vietnam. there is no translator out there for these agents but they have to deal with this day in and day out. they don't have the manpower to process all these people and patrol the border at the same time. we spoke with several of these migrants. take a listen. >> from egypt. all from egypt? >> egypt. >> good america. >> why did you come to america? >> on business and the group. >> you want to work, job? >> yeah, yes. >> group of friends. you guys want a job. >> america good. am

parliament approves my bill, the parliament approves the government's bill , if it has a weakness, it will fix its weakness, and what will it do to strengthen its strengths? well, this actually means two sir, the principle is on the bill. we will plan when we see that the government is not doing anything. the plan means that you have to perform ablution at a time when you have not performed ablution. it should not have any plan at all. if we give place to a plan because we see that there is a defect somewhere and this defect has not been solved by the bill, the bill has not been brought. representatives in their remarks they said. in their speeches, they said in their speeches. because the speaker of the parliament has reported, the chairman's committee has said, but there is no news, this may be a sign of a kind of maturity in other governance, which we were not like this before , now we are reaching this point where we have to put the principle on the layer. we have approved the 7th plan. it is almost finished. what is our agreement now ? sir, this program that you wrote, i have 23

bill. h.r. 8774 provides $833 billion for the department of defense and the intelligence community. consistent with a fiscal responsibility act, this is 1%, or $8.5 billion, above fiscal year 2024 enacted levels. while $833 billion is a discretionary cap, the subcommittee has little discretion over 62% of this bill. the funding goes toward must pay bills, including troop and civilian pay. military benefits, medical care and family services. sustainment of current weapons systems, fuel, utilities, i.t., basic supplies, and training and education. this is to say nothing of necessary investments in major weapons systems to keep our military dominant in an intensifying threat environment. these factors are why i believe the current defense top line is too low for today's needs. present and emerging threats mandate a robust u.s. military, which is as former secretary of defense james mattis said, requires at least a 3% to 5% real growth above inflation. due to the decision to consolidate our def

here is the problem, bill.elligence chief said this is very serious, we haven't seen it in decades. we're saying we haven't seen anything like this since world war ii. where is the administration having a frank conversation with the american people about the seriousness of this threat and how it would impact american security? it is not happening. that is pretty outrageous and shameful. >> sandra: as we continue to see the escalating clashes happening in the middle east. a full report between israel and hezbollah. do you believe they are inching closer to all-out war? >> yeah, they are. israelis have made up their minds that they need to take a look at the hezbollah situation. we have a map here hopefully we can bring it up that deals with it. the reality is that 80,000 people who lived in northern israel have evacuated from northern israel. and in a sense hezbollah has redefined the boundary of northern israel. the israelis believe they have got to go in there and deal with hezbollah. they have to push them ba

this bill is about abortion.n june of 2022 the united states supreme court decided the dobbs case. it returned the issue of abortion to the american people through their states. while the supreme court was deliberating that case my colleague and my friend senator went over to the supreme court. and on the steps of the supreme court building -- i was there, i remember it like it was yesterday -- this is what senator schumer said. i quote, i want to tell you gorsuch, i want to tell you cavanaugh -- not justice gorsuch, not justice cavanaugh. i want to tell you gorsuch, i want to tell you cavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. you won't know what hit you, senator schumer said forward with these awful quote. what we're seeing today with this legislation, in my opinion, but most senators agree with me is part of the promised whirlwind, and i do not believe that we should try to undermine the integrity of the institution of the supreme court of the united states boughts we're un happy -

[inaudible] >> president biden: the only reason the border is not secure is donald trump and his maga republican friends. >> bill: happening right now, senate republicans going off on the border executive order. >> the simple answer he is not serious about securing the border. we had some discussion about whether or not new laws were required to be passed to have negotiations on a potential border bill that was not successful. the simple fact of the matter is that the same laws were in effect back when president trump was in office are still in effect. but the difference is the unwillingness of this white house and this administration simply to enforce the law. and you know the numbers. the numbers of people com

our bill is simple.rotect an individual's right to access contraception and the provider's right to provide it. you wouldn't force anyone toke o want to but it would ensure that those who do way. it would ensure people get access to health care they need and birth control pills, emergency contraception like pla b and especially for women of color, women with disabilities and those in amenities to access this kind of care. they faced increased failure to access contraception. this bill shouldn't be controversial republicans have become so upset with controlling women's bodies that they refuse to protect even t mt basic freedoms. to my republican colleagues i ask, what's this obsession with power and control over women's bodies? democrats know women politicians should be the ones making decisions about our bodies and our health care. and we are doing everything we can to protect and strengthen the reproductive rights of all americans including the right to contraception. going to vote ons bill today and i

we shouldn't even need this bill. but we do need this bill.os created through basic assisted reproductive technologies like ivf can be considered children, and that even if embryos aren't viable and ivf -- viable, an ivf provider could be held liable for manslaughter or murder if anything happens to those embryos. we need this bill because the cost for a single round of ivf is enough to bankrupt a family let alone two or three or four rounds, and many parents are forced to bear all of those costs out of pocket. a constituent in oregon said, most fertility treatments considered elective by insurance companies, but i never elected to have a deformed fallopian talk. another parent in oregon who was a public servant for 22 years added up the out-off pocket costs -- out-off-pocket costs. $9,000 to see a reproductive encriminal followingist, $7,000 for medications, $3,000 for creole preservation and storage, five to seven for genetic testg, five,000 for embryo transfer. then she said we hope and pray is works. if not, we do a second round, all cash.

he said he would not sign the bill.gnificant change of tone from the one he adopted after protesters stormed parliament. then, he filed a full security response against what he called treasonous events. the police presence killed more than 20 people and injured more. there was condemnation from organizations in kenya and there was concern expressed by president ruto's international partners that are restraint. now that he has climbed down it may diffuse dangerous tensions in the country, but some prominent activists have already dismissed this. they said it's too little too late. it won't bring back the dead. they say it's a pr stunt and have pledged to return to the street. >> president william ruto says he will engage with young people on the issue. one activist focused on supporting kenyan youth is, obama the half sister of former u.s. president barack obama. she joined the president -- the protest and spoke about what so many canyons are thinking about. president ruto announced he wants on the finance bill. can that

>> hi, bill.cally an hour away from grand rapids here where this plant is going to keep the lights on for about 800,000 people alone. and then with the addition of two small modular reactors another half million homes are going to have more power as well. this is important because with the addition of article fireball intelligence data centers there is going to be even more of a need to bolster the u.s. power grid, which is already reaching its peak capacity. goldman sachs says that we'll need 160% more power. nuclear reactor began operating in georgia in the spring. the first new one in the country since 2016. they plan to add two of these small modular reactors and all together that's only a $2 billion project. $30 billion less than a new plant that opened in georgia. they are being used in russia and china but don't exist yet in north america. remissioning plants is really the cheapest way to bring nuclear energy back into the u.s., once the leader in the field and now trailing behind. >> what

our bill is simple.ect an individuals right to -- an individual's right to access contraception and a provider's right to provide it. it wouldn't force anyone to take or provide contraception if they don't want to. but it would ensure that those who do can, without the government getting in their way. it would ensure people can access the health care they need, from iud's and birth control pills to emergency contra contraception, like plan b and more, especially for women of color, women with disabilities, lgbtq phose from rural communities who have difficulty accessing this kind of care. they already face increased barriers to accessing contra contraception. this bill slunlt be controversial -- shouldn't be controversial, but republicans have become so obsessed with controlling women's bodies that they refuse to protect even the most basic freedoms. to my republican colleagues, ask, what's with this obsession with power and control over women's bodies? democrats know women, not politicians, should be th
