mr. speaker, mr. speaker, the honorable member might not have been in his place, and i welcome him now, during the last parliament, but it was his left government that left a 22 billion pound deficit, that left the biggest housing crisis, that crash the economy, and his government is so interest rates and inflation go to 11%, where people are worse off -- pensioners are worse off than they are now. >> i watched in horror and condemned the acts of october 7 by the terrorist group hamas. a year later, i watched in horror as 40,000 people are killed in gaza, burned alive, aid workers killed, and now families are starving. our right honorable friend the prime minister said that the world will not standby and see the lack of humanitarian assistance. if the israeli government will not listen to our prime minister's words, what practical, measurable actions will we take as the u.k. government? ms. rayner: i think my honorable friend for raising this important issue. the humanitarian situation in northern gaza

mr. speaker. interactive play schemes and holiday activities where children and young people with special educational only 10 disabilities for 26 years, it is been a lifeline for families continually failed by conservative governments, but interactive is set to close due to a funding shortfall. does the prime minister agree with me that action to tackle the crisis in send provision is urgently needed and that charities like interactive deserve our support more than ever? >> yes, i do, and i know this will be a concerning time for families to rely on the brilliant work of whitby interactive. children of special education needs and disagrees have been filled for too long, and this comes up repeatedly in this house with a parent struggling to get their children to support that they need and that they deserve. we must raise the standards for every child so they can succeed in education. we will fix the foundations and ensure every child can achieve their potential. >> leader of the opposition, rishi s

adam jogee. >> thank you, mr speaker. >> thank you, mr speaker. >> mr speaker, cancer is hard on theit's hard on their families. as my family knows all too well this year. can i ask the prime minister to commit to doing all he can to improve research, early diagnosis and patient care for those with cancer? and will he join me in thanking the nhs staff who have looked after my dad in recent weeks and thousands of cancer patients like him in newcastle—under—lyme and up and down our united kingdom ? kingdom? >> prime minister. i was sorry to hear about my hon. friend's father, and i think we would all pass him our best wishes. cancer is another example of the dreadful state the last government left the nhs . in the government left the nhs. in the darzi report, published just a few weeks ago, showed that some cancer standards have not been met since 2015 and no progress was made in diagnosing cancer at stage one and stage two between 2013 and 2021. so i'm really pleased that we have just announced £6.4 million research network developing new a! software to identify cancer early. we will

mr. speaker. i wish everyone celebrating in the uk and around the world a joyful, a time to come together to celebrate and focus on a brighter future. last time the leader of the opposition and his family -- outside ten downing st. there was a significant moment in our national story. the first british asian prime minister is a reminder that this is a country where people of every background can fulfill their dreams, and it makes us all proud to be british. mr. speaker, as you just referenced after our last exchange of the dispatch box elder take this opportunity to thank the leader of the opposition for his service. of course we had political disagreements. ideological differences. we've argued at some length, but i want to thank him for his hard work, for his commitment and for his decency in everything that he has done. i come to come wish him and to some the very best for whatever the future may hold for them. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and

mr. speaker can republicans get a fair shake from the mainstream media? >> they can't and the latest example of that was three against one in the debate as usual jd vance one that in a hands-down and even the far left had to acknowledge it. you know what tony, what was important there is jd kept his calm, kept his composure and provided answers . he talked about policies and that's what distinguishes this ticket from the democratic ticket. this is a stark contrast and jd put forward the plan and solutions we have for all the great challenges and i think it resonated with the american people and i think the far left is nervous right now. they know they've got a problem on this . >> i think there's another aspect of tuesday night's debate you would appreciate because i know i did and you and i share this, it was a civil debate and it was refreshing actually to see two people have policy differences and i think we should be passionate about those policy decisions that do so in a civil way. >> it's an important thing to show the country. we live in divine tim

mr. speaker, i'm not asking about the budget. i'm asking specifically about the promise he made to the british people. let me ask him again just to clarify his own promise. does his commitment to not raise national insurance applies to both employee and employer national insurance contributions? >> you can see our promises and our manifesto. i stick to my promises in the manifesto. i noticed question three. we have had in recent months 8 billion pounds from amazon for jobs across the country, 10 million pounds from blackstone for jobs across the northeast, 500 million for u.k. buses in northern ireland. what are they doing while we invest in our country? they are arguing whether to scrap maternity pay. >> mr. speaker, i'm welcome -- when it comes to his answer on taxes, businesses across the country would have found his answer asked about as reassuring as sue greene did when he promised to protect her job. so let me -- it is no wonder that confidence is plummeting. turning to another commitment both for the election his chancello

mr speaker, is how shocking. that not the 11 that the last one held just weeks before the general election was called. exactly. so in july, this government inherited unfinished business where the threat was real and inaction was not a strategy. inaction posed several acute risks to the united kingdom. first, it threatened the uk, us base from countering malign iranian activity in the middle east to ensuring a free and open indo—pacific. it is critical for our national security. without surety of tenure, no base can operate effectively nor truly deter our enemies. critical investment decisions are already being delayed. second, it impacted on our relationship with the united states, who neither wanted nor welcomed the legal uncertainty and strongly encouraged us to strike a deal. mr speaker, i am a transatlanticist. we had to protect this important relationship and third, it undermined our international standing. we're showing that what we mean is what we say on international law. the law and our desire for partne

mr. speaker, mr. leader, governor, good afternoon and thank all of you for joining the family of arkansans here in this historic former house chamber, now statuary hall. it is an honor to be surrounded by so many arkansans on this historic moment for our state. because we are making history today. daisy bates was a remarkable figure who overcame horrible tragedies during her childhood. making her a more resilient woman. as she faced the daily humiliation, the blunt trauma of jim crow. she know instinctively even at a young age that it wasn't right for those to be treated differently based on the color of their skin. but rather, it is what is up here, and in here. that matters. in short, like dr. king called for, by the content of one's character. author of daisy bates civil rights crusader encapsulates daisy's fight for civil rights so well. daisy bates had worked tirelessly and with great passion for years so that black children in her town would be given the same educational opportunities as the whi

gentlemen, please welcome speaker of the house mike johnson, house democratic leader hakeem jeffries. governor sarah huckabee sanders, members of the arkansas delegation. and mr. charles king. good afternoon, everyone. as speaker of the house, it is my great pleasure to welcome you all to statuary hall as we honor one of america's true heroes. i'd like to extend a special welcome to those who are gathered at second baptist church. little who are joining us online. that's that's a great thing as well. our capital is filled with monuments. our history and and those inside could teach us about where were where we are and where we are going as a people. we've had roger williams at washington in mount vernon, lincoln and gettysburg. and starting today, we have daisy bates in little rock. now, it's always a long to get a statue here in the capitol, but thanks to so many of you all, mrs. daisy bates and you know, she like to be called mrs. bates. we'll hear about that takes her rightful place in the hallowed grounds of american. thank you all sincerely for joining us for this very special occasion occasion. ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the presentation. th

mr. speaker, i want to make sure i'm not missing this because this is to me -- this is startling that we have a federal government that is taking allocated resources for an agency that's in place that would affect american citizens and now they are saying they don't have money to help americans because they have literally resettled millions of illegal immigrants into the country, is that understanding of what they've been doing? >> well, that's a brief summary of it. but the point is that this administration has the wrong priorities, they have prioritized everybody around the world by opening a border wide and subjecting to catastrophe upon catastrophe. we have been fighting every single day since joe biden took office in 2020, this has been a disaster for the country, we will be living with the on sequence for this more many, many years. the failures and the activity is highlighted in a moment like this when the american people need to full attention of the biden administration but they don't have it because they are focused is in the wrong places, i think people understand this and i t

mr. speaker, thank you so much. sign for the g.o.p., speaker johnson was talking about swing districts, districts tougher for republicans in the past. the seventh district flipped from lean down to a toss-up. no wonder as to why. if you watch the last debate it is hard to tell if jane fanon thought he was auditioning for,i don't know, a future ambassador to ukraine are running for a congressional seat. >> all they talked about his donald trump revenge for donald trump. he doesn't talk about the issues actually impacting us in that district pay he's trying to rectify the field policies of joe biden administration that got us into the mess. >> the most acute threat is russia. the maga extremist they would have asked turn inward like 1930s and that is not possible anymore. you know who fill that vacuum? russia and china. just be when we are still think that same tired record. anderson republican nominee, derek, good to see you. i see things inching up for you lately and some of the polls but he really does represent ki

mr. speaker? get ready to target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on american soil. and there are lots of them. we don't have the same country anymore. you know that. and, you know, when you look at the polls and they say about the economy and they have all these different things, the worst nightmare that we're facing is what they've done to us on our borders. we had the safest border in the world. in fact, there's a chart which i hope they have because i didn't tell them i wanted it. but there's a chart that i love very much because i wouldn't be here without it. that's it, i love it. i'm in love with it. i love that chart. even if it had bad numbers, i would have loved that chart. but it doesn't. it has great numbers, and if you look at the arrow on the bottom, you'll see that was the day i left office. that was the lowest illegal immigration that we've ever had in recorded history. the recorded history of our country and then look at it, it was like an elon musk rocket shi

mr. speaker.e all heard this before during the midterms, we thought we would see a red wave, last election we thought we were going to see another win that it was so obvious the policies on the right were better than on the left and yet it did not materialize. >> no, it didn't. there's a lot of reasons for that. we could spend a whole segment unpacking what happened the last couple cycles. what i'll tell is this time really is different. people understand there's a clear choice this time that they've had a trump administration, they remember what they was like, and now they lived under a harris and biden administration and the comparison is very stark and so i think this election is going to be about record over rhetoric. i think people are looking at the reality of things. kamala harris is running a campaign totally on fantasy over fact. but the american people are smart. and they're not buying it. and her angry rhetoric and the way they closed this campaign says everything. she's an empty south.

mr. speaker, i think that's a record it's a lot of fakers back there to bring back millions of jobs. we will give our companies the lowest taxes, the lowest energy caused, the lowest regulatory burdens and free access to the bank and biggest market on the planet. remember this, if we keep going like this, we won't have the biggest and the best we won't have a market, we won't have a country but only for those who make their product here in the usa and hire american workers for the job and if these companies don't make their products here then they will pay a very stiff tariff when they send their products into the united states for the privilege of competing with our workers and our now protected companies were going to protect our companies. they're not leaving anymore they're not leaving anymore trump reciprocal trade act meaning if china or any other country georgia's us 100 or 200% tax or tariff. >> we will then charge them a 100 or 200% tax zero dara called an eye for an eye and i will never apologize for defending america i will protect our workers. >> i will protect your jobs.

mr. speaker, thank you for joining us this morning. in the wake of the asas natsassn attempts on donald trump, all sides wanted to tone down the rhetoric. is it right for the president and his family to suggest the democrats are behind the attempt to awe sas nate him? >> i just saw the clip so i didn't watch all the remarks from pennsylvania. i will tell you i talked to president trump right after it. he was pleased. they had a massive crowd and a lot of enthusiasm and energy. i didn't hear all the comments. i don't know the context. the clip that i just heard that you just played there, george, i don't think they're saying that the democratic party tried an assassination attempt. i think what they're alluding to is what they've all been saying. they have got to turn the rhetoric down. for years now, the leading democrats in this country, the highest elected officials and the current nominee for president have gone out and said that donald trump is a threat to democracy, that the republic will end if he's re-elected. it's absolute nons

mr. speaker? get ready.et and dismantle every migrant criminal network operated on american soil, and there are lots of them. we don't have the same country anymore, you know that. and when you look at the polls and they say about the economy and they have all these different things, the worst nightmare that we are facing is what they have done to us on our borders. we had the safest border in the world. in fact, there is a chart, which i hope they have, because i didn't tell them i wanted it, but there is a chart that i love very much because i wouldn't be here without it. >> [ cheers and applause ] >> that's it. i love it. i am in love with it. i love that chart. even if had bad numbers, i would have loved that chart, but it has great numbers but if you look at the arrow at the bottom, you will see, that was the day i left office, that was the lowest illegal immigration that we have ever had in recorded history, the recorded history of our country. and then look at it, it was like an elon musk rocketship.

mr. speaker.hy this is so important. 20,000 votes determined who who with wisconsin. and if president trump doesn't win north carolina w, he can't win the presidency. so why aren't we ensuring that these votes did is the ballots still there? do they make sure they're able to mail themmail tm in in? this really comes down to three major states, pennsylvania,, north carolina. and you look at the tragedy geor carolina tn northna and and georgia, we need to make t sure that they have the abilithe vote, that those votes are counted and those votes are protected. >> now>> laura: yeah, the democd be doing that if these were if these were democrat districts, they would be sureh,. by the way, kamala harris was speaking today. f us and at one moment this happens to the best of us. sh. lost her telephone i want to play this for you an watch closely to her reaction. >> today, we have 32 days untilh the election. tartin so 32 days.2 days 32 days. - okay. >> we got some business to do. we got some business to d

mr. speaker. i think that that is a record. that is a lot of fakers.anet. if we can keep going like this we will not have the biggest and the best, we will not have a market. we will not have a country. but only for those that make their product here in the usa and hire american workers for the job. [cheering and applause] and if these companies do not make their products here, then they will pay a very stiff terrace when they send their products into the united states for the privilege of competing with our workers and now protected companies. they are not leaving anymore. they are not leaving anymore. we will also pass the trump reciprocal trade act meaning if china or any other country charges us 100 or 200% tax or terrace, we will then charge them a 100 or 200% terrace. i will never apologize for defending america. i will protect our workers. i will protect our jobs, i will protect our borders, i will protect our great families and i will protect the birthright of our children that live in the richest and most powerful nation on the face of the ear

mr. speaker, thank you. speaker johnson: thank you. thank you all so much and thank you for the invitation. it is a surreal opportunity for me, not one that i ever anticipate happening. it is such an honor to me that you all have taken the time to be here. it is a consequential moment in our history, and history of some of our allies today. it is great pleasure to be with you all at the world's great financial center. that is all true, everything that was just said, alongside business owners and job creators. we would be remiss if we did not make two notes as i begin some prepared remarks. first, well just witnessed another brazen attack by iran against israel. and apparent coordinated terrorist attack, we are praying for the safety as the -- of the israeli families course and the house gop leadership is arching the biden-harris administration to deliver a strong message to the iranian regime that this unjustified violence and terror has to end. we also recognize that it is hypocritical for the administration to express support or isra

mr. speaker, thank you very much. and what does the reflective vest really mean? wore it last night. its significance explained, next. ♪ there's news, and there's good news. like thousands of patients receiving free life changing surgeries, from volunteer doctors and nurses on hospital ships. all made possible by donations. we love good news. ♪ >> laura: how does kamala harris answer this? >> what we have built is the biggest, broadest, most incredible coll coalition and greatest movement in the history of our country. [cheers] it's made up of hard-working men and women who make this country run, who really built this country. and everyone who simply wants to do one thing: make america great again. [cheers] >> laura: now, anyone who has followed trump over the years, knows that he has always had this affinity for the working man and woman. now, he respects the strong work ethic. his kids have talked about that. and, without it, his hotels, golf courses, office buildings, residential buildings, they never would have gotten built. they wouldn't be operating today. s

mr. speaker, she has raised a billion dollars. burned through most of that and they are going back, you know, to wall street and silicon valley for more money. they need more money they said to win in these swing states. what is going on here. >> they are yelling at the donors and voters why won't they support them? and the other thing you have to notice, too. if you ever want to know which side is losing, look for the articles there where there is infighting. you notice the democrats now getting the article there is all this infighting? >> laura: pennsylvania campaign chief is a disaster? >> they are preparing who to blame for this loss. who to blame in the party themselves. their policies for one. her as kamala harris. one thing historically has always told us, she peeks on the day she announces and then she goes down from there. which we have watched happen. secondly interest is a contrast here try to do the same thing against donald trump. they can't. >> laura: they know him now. >> they know him and know his policies. can you

mr. speaker, how are you feeling? the majority is at stake.s would be very important if you want to get anything done. what are you predicting? >> pete, we're very bullish. i've been traveling nonstop. as you know, i've done over 204 concern 240 cities, and i go to the blue states, swing crickets and places republicans are not traditionally going to do well, we are going to do well. there's a record number of hispanic and latino voters, black and african-american voters, union workers, there's an energy out there that is difficult to really articulate, but it is palpable. president trump is going to win. we're going to win the senate, and we're going to win the house as well, grow our majority. help us, grow the majority.com k and go there and find out about candidates like kevin here in ohio's 13, an extraordinary candidate. he's going to flip this blue seat to red, pete. that's the story across the country. pete: if a race like that in ohio for instances -- flips, it's going to be the a very good night. kevin, what's your web site real quick

mr. speaker, this is not a new thing for democrats. a graphic that shows all the way back to barry goldwater. even before that, will pointed out in the truman race republicans have been called hitler or fascists or tyrants. from nixon to reagan, to -- i mean, gerald ford and mitt romney are about as moderate as you can get, and they're called hitler. with donald trump, let's be real, those were maybe one-offs. this is their slogan. this is the blood red dripped, you know, independence hall with the marines behind him saying it's a threat to 'em the crass. there have been two assassination attempts, and they're not going to stop. >> they're not. and that's the dangerous part about this. of when this election is over, you want people to unite. all the language they're using right now is they want the keep fighting. and when you have two assassination attempts, we do not want the next president of the united states to be fearing of their life every single day. what does that do to the nation? think about this president who went back to bu

mr. speaker, do you think you should be doing something to get these men and women back to work?s is national security, isn't it? >> well, it is. and the taft-hartley act is part of the law that the president has the ability to invoke that. congress doesn't have much say in these things but we will continue to hammer the point they have to get back to work. >> this is a perilous time for the country. we are still reeling on the heels of hurricane helene and damage done. iran firing on. this is emblematic of the biden-harris and what they have done to the country. >> ainsley: approaching the anniversary of october 7th and what happened to israel. they are fighting revenge. took out of leader of hezbollah and hamas. took out five other leaders of hamas. they used the pagessers, they blew up pagers and a lot of the terrorists killed as well. they are fighting back. but yesterday there were 200 missiles that were launched into israel. there was that attack. >> steve: of iran. it's so crazy. >> incredible. >> ainsley: what's your reaction to this and what can we do? >> let me point ba
