joining me now is florida congresswoman, debbie wasserman schultz.sure to see you. it's been 33 days since russian forces have mutual fund into ukraine. the u.s. has given ukraine billions of dollars in military and humanitarian assistance. what more do you think the u.s. should be doing to help the ukrainians? >> well, jose, first of all, i just want to acknowledge the horror that putin is raining down on the ukrainian people to have made the case or suggested that the reason that he needed to invade ukraine was to denazify it, with its jewish president, and now hitting a holocaust memorial or a sacred site for the second time, just shows you that the lies and true motivation behind why he is doing that is certainly nothing more than power and control. and a desire to recreate the eastern block. i'm so proud of president biden and the leadership role he took in bringing the nato alliance, as tightly united as we've ever seen. and the trip this past week to further indicates that we're going to send a billion dollars of resources to the ukrainian peo

i want to go to congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz who had been listening in along with us.p early with us. >> good to see you. >> you are in a state that understanding what it is like for people to flee their country, you understand what it is like for people who feel like they have to re-establish life somewhere else, not all of them are necessarily fleeing war but fleeing what they feel is a dangerous situation. let me ask you first, in terms of the tragedy, the humanitarian tragedy we're seeing unfold, congresswoman, and yes we have support teams there, yes we have provided many millions of dollars in aid, yes, you just heard the secretary of state talking about the u.s. welcome center and the services that they provide, and temporary protective status has been given to ukrainians here in the united states, but is that enough? i spoke to a young woman yesterday, who happened to be visiting her family in ukraine, she and her mother fled with their lives, her father and brother are still there, and she wants to be able to bring her mother home with her to chicago. are we d

florida congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz will join us to discuss what more the u.s.port its allies.

i want to quote from debbie wasserman schultz.cally, neither this hostage reniece, nor russia's invasion of ukraine warrant allowing the murder russ maduro to profit under the autocratic rule. is the administration still pursuing some democratic answer that will take oil off the market? >> the release of two american citizens are now home reunited with their families. there are more american citizens still in venezuela, wl tell you is this, chu sanctions relief we will provide in the last administration and what's true in this administration have to be tied to concrete steps on what maduro will take. >> do you seize defensive weapons? >> they seized the fighter jets and weapons, but the key here is president biden looked at the assessment of our intelligence community, took the advice of his military commanders, talked with his allies and determined that it did not justify flying fighter planes from a u.s. base in germany to a contested air space in eastern europe. but he also directed us to double down on our efforts to get the u

construction, veterans' affairs, and related agencies the gentlelady from florida, representative debbie wasserman schultz. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from florida is recognized. ms. wasserman schultz: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for bringing this resolution to the floor. i rise today in support of this bipartisan resolution condemning the horrific domestic terrorist attack in colleyville, texas. saturday, january 21, 2022, was supposed to be a day of rest and prayer for jews across the world. instead it was a day of hate, fear, and violence. four people walked into congregation beth israel as worshipsers, but walked out as survivors. their jewish identity alone put them in danger. they were ordinary citizens distinguished only by their faith. in 2022 this may seem unfathomable. tragically it is not. it is clear that the terrorist responsible subscribe to anti-semitic conspiracy theories and troaps. due to the valiant efforts and skills of first responders and bravery of the hottages, these worshipers made it out facially. the trauma leaves scars far deep

i would like to yield three minutes to the congresswoman, debbie wasserman schultz. ms. wasserman schultz: i thank the gentlelady for yielding. madam speaker, i'm proud to stand today with my friends and colleagues as we mark the 105th anniversary since the united states -- since citizenship was granted to the people of puerto rico in many ways today is a joyous day and recognition of the decades of ac vism undertaken by our puerto rican sisters and brothers. yet amidst the celebration, it's an acknowledgment that for too long we have treated puerto rico and her residents as second class citizens. with laws and policies that put them at a real disadvantage. the residents of puerto rico, more than three million strong, pay federal taxes, have u.s. passports and u.s. currency and they have long served bravely in our military. just ask any commander who fought valiantly in the korean war. yet the people of puerto rico continue to be denied equal rights, including voting representation in the united states congress. and this inequality has real consequences. as we saw so vivi

debbie wasserman shultz, the former chair of the democrat party. in late january, more than a month before the invasion wasser isman schultz purchased up to $45,000 worthhat terson uti energy stock. what do they do? the company drills for oil and gas. drill, debbie, drill. and it's shot through the roof since then. jumping nearly 60% in value since she bought it. she sits on the energy and national security subcommittees, too. is buying up energy stock. while national security situation here is looming. she didn't buy any windmill stock. that's so weird. funny, because biden was predicting energy prices were going down at the time. maybe she knew something we didn't. and unfortunately she is not alone. then we have lois frankel, another democrat sitting on the energy subcommittee, she snatched up two energy stocks in early january. tes and diamondback energy which have both jumped nearly 10% since. it's so funny because frankel is a member of the progressive caucus which backs the green new deal and she is buying informs fill fuel companies in the run-up to a war. this is what we are dealing with. but it's not just in the house the senate is getting in
