possible that some other terms of the inspection are due to the fact that, well, the republicans of the house of representativesmajority, they exclude this from the administration, that is, they demand a report , that is exactly not how - there were no abuses from america, you have money with american aid, with american weapons, that is that the administration wants to show that everything is in order, everything is under control and everything is checked , we must not forget that the congress must approve new budget allocations with the help of ukraine, although almost 45 billion dollars were removed from the scientific budget by september 30 but they may finish earlier and it may be necessary that even earlier the congress should approve an addendum to the budget in order to allocate more money for aid to ukraine and the republican house of representatives is in the majority, so if they turn it off, the administration must go to a meeting to show that well, everything is in order. all the more so that there are representatives among the republicans, there is a mo-ultra-right group, one in 11 of these ultra-ri

coming up, it's going to be set up for his fight against the republicans in the house of representatives, which really would be he hopes part of his theme going forward in 2024. so he's going to talk about it. he's going to talk about it really to sort of set up the conflict to come, which is this is what i want. this is not what i'm going to get in. you're going to see that a second say that he's going to talk about trying to get that trying to work with them. and then all right. years, you know, the state of the union is a basically a de facto campaign speech. although biden has not officially announced yet. >> do you consider mister biden in a strong position to seek reelection in 2024? jonathan, i think he's in about the strongest position as any democrat out there. >> now, unless he decides to have gavin newsom come behind today and just decide to make a quick announcement michael's not going to comment, but you talked about that before. i think that biden is is in the best position from a democratic standpoint. now, you still heard a number of people in his party suggest that, yeah

and then he claimed that he worked for the house of representatives. when the republicansntatives engaged him as an outside lawyer. that would be like a lawyer saying, i was a member of the mafia because they hired me as a defense council in one of their murder trials. the two former fbi agents both agreed that the fbi field offices in cities around the country are these centers are of procedural integrity compared to the horrible culture in the washington office of the fbi. never mind the new york city field office has recently witnessed the arrest and indictment of a former high ranking fbi official in that office who was accused of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash while still on the job from foreign sources and then went on to work for the russian all our guard who we was supposed to have been investigating while working in the fbi field office in new york city. neither of those former fbi agents mentioned anything about the integrity of the boston field office of the fbi, where one former fbi agent was convicted in 2002 for being on the payroll of organi

suspicious people. 218 members of the us house of representatives voted for the expulsion of omar, a muslim member of this house , and 211 members voted against it . the republican of the house of representatives had promised before and tried to expel me from the foreign relations committee. he is one of the two muslim representatives of the american congress . he has repeatedly criticized the annual financial aid of the united states to this regime in opposition to the actions of the zionist regime against the palestinians . the eighty-sixth anniversary of failure the nazi german forces in stalingrad said that after the second world war, german tanks would still threaten russia, referring to germany 's plan to hand over its work to ukraine . the russian president stressed that any country that threatens moscow the head of foreign policy and the head of the european commission arrived in kiev together with a delegation of leaders of this union . expressing his satisfaction with this trip, which is the fourth trip to tehran, olaf anderlein said that the european union will increase its pressure on russia , the spokesperson of the chinese foreign ministry. said un

an addendum to the budget in order to allocate more money for aid to ukraine and the republican house of representatives in the majority, so if they turn it off , the administration must show everything is in order well, all the more so that among the republicans there is an ultra-right group, one out of every 12 of these ultra-rights, in general . against this resolution, that is, it means that he will not even put it to a vote , well, in order to get help through the congress. i think that, in particular, because of this , this control of his can be strengthened well, i think that this is correct, because it is necessary that the money be spent correctly, but it is necessary that ukraine be able to receive the new aid package without any obstacles, so that it will be necessary that additional funds be allocated this fiscal year, and that for the next fiscal year , which schedule will start on october 1, so that the funds will also be allocated for the games , the university professor is in direct contact with us and joins our ether of politics and inter-parliamentary cooperation, mrs. iryna, congratul

each of those republican members of the house of representatives were elected in the same election that they voted to overthrow only for the presidential portion of the ballots cast in their states. everything else on those same ballots, including the vote totals for each of them, in their own elections, they accepted as perfectly accurate. a majority of the republican members of the house of representatives obliterated any personal attachment to democracy in voting to overthrow the presidential election, and they cast those votes after the capitol was attacked on january 6th. they cast those votes against democracy after they were in hiding while the supporters of the man they wanted to be president president where we're attacking the capitol for him. eight republican senators also voted to overturn the presidential election. that number could go up in the house and in the senate in the next election in 2024. and so, in the next election, on election night, american democracy will, once again, be standing on the edge of disaster. many democrats will be running against many republicans

possible that some other terms of the check are due to the fact that, well, the republicans of the house of representativesit is in most cases, they exclude this from the administration, that is, they demand a report on what exactly there were no abuses with america, that money, with american aid, with american weapons, that is, that the administration wants to show everything is in order, everything is under control, everything is being checked, we must not forget that the congress must approve new budget allocations with the help of ukraine, although almost 45 billion dollars have been removed from the scientific budget by september 30, but they can finish earlier and it may be necessary that even earlier the congress must be approving an addendum to the budget in order to allocate more money for aid to ukraine, and the republicans in the house of representatives are in the majority, so if you turn it off, the administration must meet to show that everything is in order well, all the more so that submitting representatives is among the republic there is an ultra-right group, one out of every 12 of these

the newly republican house of representatives will help create jobs. in conclusion, god bless our troops who successfully protected america for 20 years as the global war on terrorism continues moving from the afghanistan safe haven to america. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from missouri seek recognition? >> i ask to address the house for one minute, sir. the speaker pro tempore: does the gentleman seek unanimous consent? >> i do. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize adult and teen challenge of a.t.c., a faith-based organization serving on the frontlines to combat our nation's spiking drug and alcohol addiction crisis. i'm really proud that a.t.c., headquartered in the great state of missouri, is helping those afflicted by substance use disorders. daily mor than a dozen people reach out to a.t.c. looking help for themselves or their loved ones and they are always answering the call. they have crisis centered solutions. it's time we rec

kevin mccarthy's republican -controlled house of representatives has now accomplished exactly two things, and only two things. neither of those two things benefit any constituents in california, or anybody else in the country. kevin mccarthy's republican house of have passed no legislation that will ever become law. they have passed bills, but none of them will ever come to a vote in the united states senate. kevin mccarthy's house of representatives has been passing bills it will never be heard from again. including a bill to defund the police. that's one of the very first legislative actions taken by kevin mccarthy's republican house representatives under his leadership. it was to defund the police. the police, kevin mccarthy got all republicans to vote to defund, it's the tax police. internal revenue service. they are the profit center of the american government. every worker in the irs is paid a salary like all other government workers. unlike other government workers, people working in the irs spend all day bringing money into the treasury of the united states of america. massive am

the zionist regime were expelled from the foreign relations committee of the us house of representatives. the republican speaker of the house of representatives had previously promised to try to expel omar from the foreign relations committee and the death of one of the two representatives of muslims to the united states . one of the comments said that israel recognizes the jewish state, but other religions consider it to be an unofficial land . it's funny that we still consider them a democracy in the middle east. the issue of continuing to send weapons to ukraine has caused differences between european countries. some members of the european parliament say that continuing to send weapons to ukraine will prolong the war. america, as a member of nato, which has sent the largest number of military forces to different parts of the world , is working hard with its allies these days to send more weapons to ukraine. at the same time, the issue of sending advanced tanks to ukraine has caused differences of opinion among european countries. some representatives of the european parliament believe that sending w

that represent the ukrainian flag, and behind president biden we can actually see those american legislators whose elected to accompany him are the leaders of the democrats and republicans in the house of representatives in the senate, we see mitchum conal, we see chuck schumer, we see akeem jeffries, the newly elected leader of the democrats in houses of representatives and they go with the president and lead him to the podium. now we can see. we also welcome the american president with the members of the supreme court and he is approaching the podium from where he will deliver his speech. friends , let me remind you that president biden's speech is broadcast with a translation. in ukrainian, so you will hear the most important things from the president firsthand, and with a ukrainian translation , it is expected that the speech will last approximately 40 minutes. his administration for the past year, for the past two years, and also what he plans to do. in the next two years, we can see now that president biden and mark biden and mark miley are being welcomed, this is a top american general - again, these are the people who conduct a constant dialogue with representatives of ukrai

dismissal of ilhan omar from the foreign relations committee of the congress, the republican of the house of representatives considered the criticism of the unquestionable support of the united states to the zionist regime as unforgivable. he likes and everything is because of benjamin and describes the september 11 incident as unimportant and does not allow such a person to comment on this important issue. racism, islamophobia were other reasons for the removal of iran omar from the foreign relations committee in this meeting. he is a colored person in america and he believes that there is a current in america that is constantly trying to silence the powerful voices of the opposition in the field of foreign policy. i am a muslim and an immigrant from africa. that should be turned off i want to be the voice of all the victims of war and injustice in the world. ilhan omar's fellow party member of the democratic republic of khoury gave a speech in this meeting in defense of it , but no one was willing to support the anti-israel positions and even many of them criticized these positions of ilhan omar more. ali

right now with ukraine, with classified documents, with the debt ceiling now facing a republican house of representatives. what is the message in the state of the union? >> i think that's a great question. i'm curious. on one hand we know he's going to make a case that things are going well. the biden economic plan is working. he already said that on friday. we'll get a repeat of that. that's my curiosity about the state of the union, willie, is how much of it is going to feel like a setup of a potential re-election campaign and how much of it is going to be an agenda that he would like to accomplish in divided government. and two issues i'm watching for to see how serious the biden white house is about trying to govern with republicans. police reform and immigration reform. arguably those two only can happen with bipartisan buy-in. in theory divided government is the only chance to tackle both of those issues. how much does he linger on that? how much does he put his shoulder into that? does he actually want to set the table and create the framework for it, or does it feel more like a re-election and po

seems important to me that several times literally, kevin mccarthy, the leader of the republicans in the house of representatives, together with the democrats, stood up and applauded the words of president biden and was 11 times just when ukraine was mentioned . also one of my thoughts when i heard about the speech today where at some point president biden took the opportunity to poke a little bit at our republican friends and see how they reacted specifically so that the whole world i saw how kevin reacted because he could not have a word and only his face had to be whole . but at the moment when he mentioned ukraine, it was nothing controversial. but these are his words and i will show that all united we asked how the ball left, he is very supportive of everything, these are two party support for the senate, and we are also looking for the ukrainian compressed coconut in the house of representatives to gather newly elected members this year. and so that they sat for the first time and everyone saw their two-way support ukraine exists in the house of representatives, this is also a very important project for gl

i have looked into this carefully, the house of representatives republicans, need to preserve their authorityer th constitution, it is called self preservation. the republican house has to preserve separation of powers and preserve our governmental system. there is supposed to be a balance of negotiation, you work things out one branch with the other, but if one branch is swrupt corrupt, you have to actor the house will seek to be power they seek to be. what can they do? we have a history. we look at our history, it didn't begin yesterday. history began when the nation was founded. congress has an an i. >> inhe inherent power. the departments and officers are not in constitution. they have power to legislate, pass budgets, and congress has a lot of power, if it cannot enforce that power, it has no power then. even the supreme court has recognized this. so if congress is being reasonable, they are asking for information to go over classified information taken say by biden and others. they could look at tax returns. the s -corporation of a sitting president, and former speaker of the house and

in mississippi, a supermajority of white republicans in the state house of representatives has approved a bill to establish a separate court system and an expanded police force within the city of ckson, which is 80% african american. if the legislation becomes law, it will place mississippi's public safety commissioner, who is currely white, in charge of an expanded capitol police force in jackson. local judges wou be hand-picd by mississippi's supreme court chief justice, who is white. and prosecutors and public defenders would be selected by the state attorney general, who also is white. voters in every other county court systemn mississippi elect judges and prosecutors. after viewing tuesday's debate in the mississippi house gallery, jackson mayor chokwe antar lumumba reportedly said, "it reminds me of apartheid." meanwhile, black lawmakers in missouri are accusing republicans of racism after house speaker dean plocher, who is white, silenced african-american state representative kevin windham during a floor debate on thursday. windham was debating a bill that would allow the governo

we aim to have the 10th package of sanctions in place in the us. republicans in the house of representatives have voted to remove emerson congresswoman from the chambers. foreign relations committee, democrats say ill, hun arma, was targeted because of her identity. victoria gate and b has the details and emotional debate. congresswoman ellen omar, a refugee from somalia, one of the 1st muslim women in the us house of representatives voted off the foreign affairs committee. there is this idea that you are a suspect if you are an immigrant, or if you are from certain parts of the world or a certain skin tone or a muslim, it is no accident. that members of the republican party accused the 1st black president, brock obama, of being a secret muslim republicans pointed to these tweets from years ago, where she seemed to equate atrocities carried out by the u. s. military to those committed by groups. washington deems terrorists, she later said she did not mean to compare them, but republicans now in the majority, moved in a party line vote to kick her off the committee. democrats accused house sp

president biden will have a meeting with the leader of the republicans in the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy, this will be the first meeting, it will mostly be about intra-american topics, but definitely they will talk about a number of very important topics on the agenda, and it is certainly worth expecting that they will also mention ukraine, but again , the congress is very important in this and cooperation between the two branches of government in this context is important, yes yuliya thank you for your information with us on let me remind you that yuliya yarmolenko was the contact, but the american congressmen from both parties even earlier called on the biden administration not to delay the delivery of any weapons to ukraine , including f16 fighter jets, about the reactions to capitol hill and other important events concerning ukraine, let's talk with our correspondent kateryna lisunova, who is now joining the broadcast katya. i congratulate you, katya. you had the opportunity to talk to american legislators, how did they react to the refusal of the bid to provide fight

you have a republican house of representatives. with that reality, is the president also examining any possible executive action he might be able to take in reaction to what he has seen happen in memphis? >> look, lawrence, we've been working on the george floyd act since the time we came to the white house. and got it through the house, could not get it through the senate last time. so, when that was unable to be passed in the senate, the president took the strongest executive action every taken on police reform, which changed the way the federal government police things. we banned chokeholds. we put restrictions on police, federal police use of force. all of these things. if there's more we can do by executive order, we are certainly open to that. we are looking for that. but as the vice president said today, i thought, so powerfully in her remarks at this funeral, congress needs to do its job here as well. there are some things that can only be changed by the federal law. and i don't know how many more of these horrible instance

republican subcommittee to obstruct justice, is again going to convene focus on peddling conspiracy theories and catering to the far-right-wing fringe of america. this is not a republican majority in the house of representatives that is engaged in doing anything to make life better for every day americans. they would rather go and investigate president biden's family and laptops than address the issues of concern that affect the middle class and those who aspire to be the middle class and every day americans and it's shameful and i don't expect it to change. reporter: speaker pelosi recently said she didn't want to be a mother in law to the caucus. how has it been to the caucus in this new role? mr. jeffries: wonderful for me to consistently talk to speaker pelosi, lean on her for her advice, her thoughts, her guidance, her suggestions, her experience as the greatest speaker of all time in the united states of america, factual and historic record makes that indisputable. it's wonderful to have speaker pelosi around and available for myself and pete and katherine and others to rely upon her for her advice and guidance. reporter: there is a resolution being introduced by freshman to -- [indiscernible] do you su

here's what he says - a republican member of the house of representatives from florida how much more is there any limit for ukraine what a billion dollar is knocking on the door, what a red line we set we won't cross later tomorrow president biden will tell us how much more we have to do for ukraine but why ukraine is a country that just had dozens of its top officials arrested for blatant corruption maybe the answer is as simple as hunter biden's life motto, a crook must cheat, but the amount of funds we are now pouring into ukraine is coming to fruition. we are a bold dream company of burisma, and wealth thanks to the influence of the biden family that comparisons seem like trifles, there must be a war somewhere, regardless of whether the weapons go into the hands of the is taliban battalion, azov or the black market, they got rich on the supply of weapons. the action we are taking will not actually end the war in ukraine. we are probably prolonging the killing of tens of thousands of ukrainians and russians will die this year because congress feels good about sending the mortal in

had harrizi you see now on your also newly elected recently elected speaker of the house of representatives republican kevin mccarthy last time we remember when joe biden gave his first state of the union speech and in 2022, behind him was the harris camera and then something like speaker nancy polo from the democratic party. got republicans see now gather many yulia pay attention have ukrainian symbols comic code have johnny yes have ukrainian symbols also uh tie blue-yellow and a lot actually yes it seems to me that almost every one of the representatives that we now see entering the hall had other people's badges or scarves or ties. now i think we can add our kateryna lisunova to the broadcast, who covers the topic directly today in the congress , but that ostap said about kamala harris and actually we know what is really sitting behind the president is sitting the representative or the leader of the house of representatives the leader of the majority to influence the representatives now it's like you said kevin mccarthy but also it's harrison's camera no only the vice-president and she also perfor

republican colleagues at a party conference meeting. the house gop's steering committee had assigned santos to a small business and the science of space and technology committees. republican representativew york and the house democrats, pete aguilar and ted lieu, spoke about the decision shortly after it was announced. >> like all of my colleagues, particularly in new york state i supported george santos as the nominee and the people of his district voted to elect him. >> i am just struck by the chaos, confusion, dysfunction of the republican conference. they defended putting him on committees and now they are announcing he's not going to serve on a committee. i don't understand what the play of the day is. we've said from the very beginning that george santos is not fit to serve on any committees. republicans defended him, initially, as they have announced his committee appointments. som, -- so i am pleased to know that the agreement has now. this is the decision of the week, or if this is the final decision i am not sure. george santos has issues and concerns and this is likely the outcome of his meeting with the speaker. but, it is unfortunate when republicans are put in a position t

but again, this is of president that's going to be dealing with a republican controlled house of representatives, all of this cost money. so expect that that's going to be some of the pushback that he's going to be encountering. still he'll be laying out this agenda. of course, we're going to be carrying this all live here and al jazeera. that's all gonna be starting off in a little more than 3 hours time. gimme how good. thank you very much indeed. senate democratic leader chuck she murray. describe the situation with china as tense after the united states shot down what it called a chinese surveillance balloon. over the weekend. the u. s. navy is where east images of the balloon being recovered from the sea of south carolina. schumer's republicans and democrats needed to come together to quote, condemned china for what it did, and have a unified front in dealing with the chinese communist party. the situation called secretary of state antony lincoln to postpone his trip to beijing. still to come this half hour for the 3rd time, hundreds of thousands will not work in france imperious over plans

omar esmaili, a representative of the us house of representatives, which led to his dismissal from the congress foreign relations committee , began with this sentence, mccarthy, the republican speaker of the house of representatives, in on the sidelines of the voting session for the expulsion of ilhan omar from the foreign relations committee of the congress , he considered the criticism of america's unquestionable support of the zionist regime to be unforgivable . those who say that america only loves israel and everything is because of benjamin should defend them. ignore the september 11 incident describes and we will not allow such a person in this committee. racism and islamophobia were other reasons that were mentioned in this meeting as the motivations for removing iran omar from the foreign relations committee . this is targeting women of color in america and is completely racist. is that a current in america is constantly trying to silence the powerful voices of the opposition in the field of foreign policy. i am a muslim and an immigrant from africa. they say that i am not qualified to speak about the foreign policy of the united states. war and let there be injust

presidency but sat right behind him, just over his shoulder, will be the new republican speaker of the house of representativeshere will be here in washington and just how very difficult it will be for president biden to get any of his legislation passed. so he will talk about what he has done, in terms of passing a big infrastructure spending bill, lowering the war on drugs but everyone will be watching his performance because as you say, we expect he will announce he will be a candidate in 2024 soon. so how he speaks will be as important as what he says. everybody will be looking to see, can this 80—year—old man be as energetic and vigorous as he would need to be to persuade voters he's not too old to do the job until he's not too old to do the job until he is 86 if he gets a second term. many thanks, sarah. sarah smith looking ahead to the state of union address in a hours' time. in north wales, a father has been found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter of his daughter, who was found dead in a state of �*squalor�*. kaylea titford, who was 16, suffered from spina bifida and was morbidly obese. she'd bee

but other republicans have a razor, a c majority in the house of representatives as you know. and the far right congressmen and congress, women in congress are all about blocking everything that comes from the democratic site. and this is also the reason why president biden and started his peach with a little joke, addressing the current president of the house of representatives, republican, kevin mccarthy. and by saying i don't want to ruin your reputation, mr. mccarthy. but i look forward to working with you. now, catalina, the economy played a central role in his address. i'm gonna speak to you again in just one second. let's listen to the president speak about that topic. we're going to buy american bio tonight. i'm announcing news news regarding all construction materials using fertilizer infrastructure projects to be made in america. news news one, my watch american road, american. how are you going to be made with american products as well? folks? market nomic plan is about investing in places and people that have been forgotten . so career very obese message there from

it's his first address to a joint session of congress since the republicans won control of the house of representativesity to enact his political programme over the next two years. let's go over to capitol hill in washington now and speak to our correspondent there, nada tawfik. a lot to talk about esp on foreign policy side but are we expecting him to focus more on domestic agenda? i think for him the focus is going to be to really tout his accomplishments to the american people while striking a tone that says that the job is not done. that there is still a lot of work to do. the reason for that is because even though he hasn't officially announced that he is running again, many expect them to do so in the coming months. this is a large american audience to be peaking too directly in a soft launch, if you will for a reelection campaign. he's going to want to focus on the fact that the economy is doing quite well, with record low unemployment, he has created a record job growth over the last two years. we expect them to say in the state of the union address that the economy is as strong as it was prett

the republican controlled house of representatives refuses to raise a debt limit unless president joe biden agrees to steep spending cuts. democrats wanted to be raised without any condition. the treasury department has started taking so called extraordinary measures, including suspending investments for retirees to avoid missing financial obligations to bondholders. but that would give congress and biden until early june to resolve the issue. while the united states is among a few countries to set a legal limit on bar, right. so what exactly is the debt ceiling? it's the maximum amount. the government's compared to pay bills already approved by lawmakers. it doesn't include new spending commitments. the measure was 1st introduced back in 1917 to make it easier for the government to finance its participation in the 1st world war. it has been periodically res because the u. s. runs large annual deficits in the revenue it collects isn't sufficient. the nations debt is currently at more than 120 percent of g d p. but that's still lower than more than a dozen countries, including japan, g

to double digit rating because of last—minute negotiations to lift the debt limit, under president obama, and the republicans had controlled the house of representativesng that's happening in congress right now in the republican party is mccarthy and his leadership team are trying to educate his members about the severity of defaulting, what it means, and a history of these negotiations and conversations so perhaps he does bring them into the middle a little bit so they understand what the consequences are. we will see if it works. latte are. we will see if it works. we shau are. we will see if it works. we shall indeed, _ are. we will see if it works. we shall indeed, thank you for your thoughts on that. some breaking news — after the first minister announced her sharp resignation yesterday, the party has released further details about the process and timeline to replace her, revealing it they will announce the new snp leader on monday, 27 march. earlier in the process, candidates have until 24 february to be nominated, then ministers will select the new first ministers will select the new first minister in a ballot which opens on 13 march. the searc

behavior and act like adults. 90 days ago, the american people chose to give republicans power in the house of representatives, because we are committed to finding solutions that curb inflation. at its source, wasteful washington spending. we are already changing the behavior of this government, the runaway spending of the last few years -- it over -- it's over. now, we must return washington to a basic truth. debt matters. the debt limit is one of the most important opportunities congress has to change course. how will we respond, to determine what happens to our children and to their children in coming years and decades? the choice is clear. we can have reckless spending or we can have responsibility. we cannot have both. we can leave our children a future with higher inflation, higher interest rates, and crushing debt. or we can leave them free to pursue happiness, as god intended. what americans want and what republicans are fighting for is a responsible debt limit increase that puts us on a path towards a healthier economy. we will curb wasteful washington spending to reduce inflation and return our gove

isolationists, i would say this is this there are somewhere between 20 and 30% of the house of representatives republicansomewhere between 10 and 15% of the entire house of representatives, there are fewer of them in the senate, there may be a very small handful of them, 7-8 of their 50 49 senators, but the second group, which is it is quite significant. i would say ultra hawks who criticize trump and say we cannot afford to spend 100-150 billion dollars annually to help ukraine. let's give them a large number of weapons . why are we late with this? this and then we can get rid of this and focus again on the needs of the american people and take away from russia all their assets that are sitting in western banks, and let these assets and european europe help ukraine in its development, we will provide what is needed in order to win and lead to victory. this is a friend the current there represents, let's say conditionally, senator cruise. and i 'm a third of what i would say here, somewhere again, such a third are people who traditionally understand geopolitics and want two-party stability, and mr. andria

other republicans, as you know, have a razor, a say majority in the house of representatives. and the far right congress, men and congress, women and congress are all about blocking everything that the democrats proposed. this is also one of the reasons why president abiding jokes at the beginning of this peach. by addressing the current president of the house of representatives, republican kevin mccarthy ad by saying, i don't want to ruin your reputation, but i look forward to working with you. so clearly a message that he knows that mccarthy has a repeated reputation to, to save. and it's not working with democrats, but he said, i am looking forward to working with you. katarina, the economy played a central role in his address. i'm going to come back and speak to you in a 2nd, but let's listen to the president speak about that topic. we're going to buy america by tonight and as a new standards require all construction materials used in fertilizer infrastructure projects to be made in america. with my watch, american road, american, how are you going to be made with american
