mr. boyle. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. boyle: madam speaker, the word historic is probably overused at times. really, it is a day like today when the word historic is warranted. for decades, politicians of both parties talked about giving medicare the ability to negotiate prescription drugs to bring down the costs for seniors. today, in this bill, we are doing it. for decades, politicians talked about capping the amount of money seniors pay every year on prescription drugs. some in my district in philadelphia pay $5,000 a year, $10,000 a year. this bill caps it at no more than $2,000 a year. again for decades, politicians talked about the need to address climate change, to make a large investment so we can finally tackle this challenge for america and for the world. here in this bill, we are doing it. the largest single investment to address climate change in our nation's history. you know, i know that on social media and on tv, it tends to be the form of politics that gets most of the attention. that helps breed a cynicism

mr. bilirakis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized mr. bilirakis: thank you, madam speaker. i want to thank my good friend from the great state of kentucky as well. i rise in strong opposition to the inflation recession i.r.s. army act. as the american people struggle to put food on their tables and gas in their cars, democrats bring us here today to raise american's taxes and destabilize our prescription drug market. my colleagues across the aisle want everyone to believe that this bill will drive down the cost of drugs. but they fail to mention that this policy will severely stifle innovation, unfortunately. as a proud advocate for individuals suffering with cancer, rare diseases, and neurodegenerative deszs such as ample l.s., alzheimer's and parkinson's, i'm committed to seeing cures come to market. but policies like this one will heartlessly jeopardize the likelihood of these breakthroughs. i would like to see my democratic colleagues work with us on the productive solutions found in the lower costs more cures act which would drive do

mr. speaker, i have the time - [ overlapping arguing >> mr. speaker, the house is not in order mr. or the house to be in order, should people be in their seats, or should people be talking? >> proceed >> mr. speaker, the house is not in order people are standing and talking. >> seth: buddy, if people are standing and talking, you can't bitch about it you got to grow a spine and plow right through. i mean, i would never get through the monologue if i stopped every time somebody got up and walked out. "i will not sit here and listen to spirit airlines be insulted." [ laughter ] also, now you have a problem with standing and talking? two of your members literally stood up and yelled at the president during the state of the union like drunk mets fans who just found out that degrom's out for a month. sorry, "late night" crew, it's opening day and the mets jokes are back [ laughter ] with a torn labrum, no less. as you may have noticed, mccarthy has a lot in common with trump in at least one particular sense trump is both dangerous and pathetic at the same time, which is true of so much o

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mccarthy: thank you, madam speaker. today feels like a little deja vu. feels like we're sitting back, was it february of last year? america is on a brink, the world is warning the majority party if they follow through with more of their spending, they could create inflation in america. wasn't just on our side of the aisle that warned you. no. former secretary of treasury, he warned if you went through with that $2 trillion that inflation would rise and america would be harmed. but nobody listened on the other side. they were proud, they were going to cheer, they're going to get elected, they're going to win based upon. this they went ahead, they passed that bill with one party control. in the house and in the senate and the president signed it. if we listen to steve ratner, democrat adviser to obama, he calls it the original sin of inflation. if you listen to the american public, madam speaker, i hope every single member asks their constituents, could they give one month's salary up, could they afford to give a month's

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman has three minutes remaining. mr. pallone: and the other side? has no time? the speaker pro tempore: their time has expired. mr. pallone: i yield myself one minute. i just want to speak briefly before i introduce our two leaders who have done so much on the democratic side to make this bill a possibility today. the republican leader said that we should listen to our constituents. well, we have. yesterday i was at a senior center in wood ridge and a woman came up to me and said, you know, congressman pallone, i spend $1,5 hahn month on prescription drugs -- $1,500 a month on prescription drugs. i was able to say to her, i'll be in washington tomorrow, i'm going to vote on a bill that's going to cap your expenditures at $2,000 a year. then i had another woman in a telehealth meeting earlier in the week who told me she was so hot because in new jersey we've had the worst drought and the highest temperatures that we know in years. and she said, i have to go to a cooling center because of the heat. because of my health. and

mr. speaker.'ve been around washington for a long enough time, some but he a misdemeanor, they have a lawyer, the lawyer is contacted, have your client report at this time at this place. you don't make a scene at an airport to humiliate the individual for a misdemeanor. i would argue the same for a process i'm in a case of paul manafort or roger stone. certainly a message was sent here. but here's with the double standard comes in. this is why hunter biden is important. this is why hillary clinton's 33,000 email deletions are important. this is why the dirty dossier is important. this is why lying on fisa applications are important. if i ever lied to a judge i think i would be taken out in handcuffs and shackles too. this is why what sandy berger did is important. now america has the right to ask okay, why did you do this, because i can't conceive of what would warrant the attorney general of the united states and the fbi director to allow and approve this action. can you think of what they might

mr. kirby: it is common for the speaker to travel on a u.s. military aircraft. reporter: have people in the administration been in touch with the president? mr. kirby: i am not aware of any specific communications after that call. reporter: what planning has been done in advance to make sure there will be no fallout? mr. kirby: i think you can understand part of our responsibility is to travel safely and securely and i can assure you she well. reporter: in terms of the speaker's agenda and her motivation for going, which is different from the presidents, which he had said publicly the military does not think it is a good idea. what is your sense about her advocacy for democracy in taipei if she were to go there and the impact of that? mr. kirby: the speaker can speak for herself. whatever she wants to say on this trip is her prerogative. that is why it was so important for me to make clear what this administration's policy is with respect to the one china policy. as well as not wanting to see tensions resolved with anything but peaceful means. i cannot speak for

mr. speaker, senate candidate turned into democratic senate candidate, as mentioned, charlie crist won his primary in november. should he be worried here? >> i have known him since he was a republican state senator in 1984 at the reagan convention in dallas. i think that he would be a great model and he was a democrat, republican, huge staying power and he needs to beat somebody by a big margin and he will come out, coming out of the general election, the biggest margin in modern times and charlie crist, he says he doesn't exist. he has no political stance, he has no platform that matters, he has no values that matter, but he is a very energetic guy. and so he has been part of it for a while. >> kicking out marco rubio in the senate as well, right now the media is certainly rooting for this candidate. >> he may have the best chance. >> marco rubio is in real trouble. i don't think anybody expected him to be in trouble. >> we have seen the enthusiasm and what looks familiar to me. she was first lady when her husband was mayor of a florida town, well known in the state and pretty well liked.

mr. speaker. n grich, hortshe supports court p, ending cash bail, ending fossil fuels, support crt and schoold l called the trump tax cuteds bill that wanted to kill kids. no limits on abortion at all whatsoever. there's a georgia candidate. >> can he win in georgia? well, look, i think the biden warner ticket is going to go down in flames. my guess is he'll be lucky to get forty six percent of the vote by the time thi aborts is over. a, h he's far too radical for georgia. he should have been defeatedow two years ago. and as people got to know his record and get to realize how much he's a racist, americ how much he's hostile to america, how much he's tied in i to joe biden, i think all of these things come to bear h and you're going to have a very tough next couple of months.hs. food prices are going to go back up. electric electricity prices, you know, 20 million american families are behind in paying their electric bills becauseng e electricitlecty prices are goin, up. you have a murder rate in
