[cheers & applause] these outcom

basically meet the promises that kevin mccarthy made, to the 20 most irrational people in the united states congress. >> do they get, congressman, that this is not politically good, right? if you are one of these 20 members of congress, where you are part of the republican caucus that decides not to raise the debt ceiling, and i triggers inflation, further inflation, which triggers a recession, it's not good for them in 2024. >> i did not think it's good for them, but i don't think they completely understand this. they seem to have graduated from the george santos school of economics. this is going to hurt them, it's going to hurt the country more. and that's the real cynical aspect of this, for these republicans, they will keep their seats in congress. they are learning from seeds that couldn't lose to a democrat, very likely, under any scenario. they will keep their see, look at their job, they'll keep their paycheck. but they are willing to put the u.s. economy, and frankly the global economy under threat in order to essentially, make joe biden look bad. this really does seem, and this is overly

the united states congress will stand strong and supporting the security of israel. the memorandum we have is up e k -- unequivocal. you talk about what is taking place in syria, what's taking poli place in lebanon and iran. that will not break. that will not tatter. that will stand strong. at the same time, i have concerns about people in the netanyahu government who are to the extreme also and i think that that is something that we have to speak up about and i have surely a lot of disagreements with what they said. so just as there is differences of opinion on different leaders, we're strongly, the united states congress is strongly for the security of israel and want to develop an economic strategy to give the people of palestine some hope and i think here is where the members of the abraham accords become really important because then we can talk about a collective coming together so that the young men and women that you showed of your report can have ac sense of hope in pa spin and i visited there. i've talked to them as well as talking to young people in israel

that we, in the united states congress, and the millions of americans that we represent stand with them their time and struggle for freedom. we want the iranian people to know that we see you. we know the risks you are taking. and the danger that you face. stay strong. stay strong. as freedom will always win over tierney. mr. speaker, we want the iranian people to hear our voices, we want the world to hear our voices that the united states of america in a bipartisan way -- and people all across this country stand with those brave people. that reminds me of struggles of others when they had to fight for their freedom in the streets. freedom will come in the morning. because the voices of the people cannot be deterred. with that, i reserve the balance of my time. >> thank you mr. speaker. support of the house concurrent resolution 7. today, the united states house of representatives stands up for human rights for the same freedoms that we as americans hold so near and dear in our own country and against the brutal regime in iran. the iranian government has a long track record of vial huma

speaker, it is my hope and i'm sure that there will be a resounding voice by this united states congress by passing this bill to say to the iranian people who put everything on the line we hear you, we see you, we stand with you until you get your freedom. with that, mr. speaker, i yield the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. ms. tenney: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself the balance of the time. i want to thank speaker mccarthy, majority leader scalise, whip emmer, and the new chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, mr. mccaul, for prioritizing this important resolution to the floor. the fact that this resolution is brought to the floor so quickly this week because the house majority demonstrates the importance of this issue, although i do want to thank mr. meeks for his continued support and help in ushering through unanimous support for this resolution in the last congress. we are finally here getting it through. i am grateful to you for your leadership and always being so supportive. again

>> let me simply say, it's clear to me that george santos is not fit to serve in the united states congress. that's not my perspective. that's not a democratic perspective. his next-door neighbors in new york have said george santos is not fit to serve in congress. now, it's interesting because many of us are wondering how did republicans let this happen? how did you get behind someone like a george santos, who is so clearly a fraudster? santos didn't even have a republican primary. think about that. he didn't even have a republican primary. they cleared the field for him, now they are running away from him here why did you cleard for george santos? why did you vacuum not just in 2022 but they backed him in 2020 as well against tom swazi. >> we talk about the responsibility of the government to clean up the house. you and have democratic leader. you could offer privileged resolution which would not even have to -- to refer him, expel him, reprimand, expelling any of those things. why would not democrats if you feel so strongly about mr. santa's not try to take action for the integrity of th

he said, i drive a bus my whole life and now my son has a shot at becoming a member of the united states congress. where else in the world can we have our story? where else in the world could any of us have our story? regardless of our background, regardless of where we come from, what side of the aisle we sit on. we have the privilege and opportunity to sit here today as part of a historic moment, fighting for what we believe. the answer of where else is nowhere else. only here. i trust kevin to fight for that american dream. because he's a product of it. we're all a product of it. he gets it. and understands that a government accountable to the people is the best tool to ensure that our future generations continue to have a real shot at the american dream. so let's be proud of our stories. let's be grateful to god for all it -- for it all. and let's get to work to ensure that everyone halls the same opportunity -- has the same opportunity to write their own story. being a representative isn't a job title. it's a job description. the eyes of the world are on us as we are airing our grievances. t

also on the program a 3rd day of paralysis in the united states congress republican kevin mccarthy loses an 11th vote in his bid to become speaker of the house of representatives, despite making concessions to fall right and will make as in his own policy. and we'll look at growing fears in the netherlands, but drugs gangs could be influencing the rule of law there. ah, and how many cubes? mckennan, welcome to the program. russia says the unilateral order by president vladimir putin for a 36 hour cease fire came into effect at this hour, but it has been dismissed by ukraine as a trick. the russian announcement coincides with the orthodox christmas holiday, and ukrainian president vladimir lensky has accused to sin of using christmas as an attempt to stop the advance of ukrainian forces in the dumbass region and to consolidate russian positions. in another development, germany and the usa, they are now prepared to send armored vehicles to ukraine. the 2 countries elite is announced that ukraine would receive german, made marta and u. s. built bradley fighting vehicles. the decision follow

also on the program a 3rd day of paralysis in the united states. congress, republican kevin, the coffee loses on 11th june. he's been to become speaker of the house of representatives, despite making concessions to far right lawmakers from his own profit and look at the growing fears in the netherlands at drugs, gangs could be influencing the rule of law. ah, i'm sure, gail, welcome to the program. a unilateral order by russian president vladimir putin for 36 hours sci fi is due to come into effect in this hour, but it has been dismissed by ukraine as a trick. the truth is to coincide with the orthodox at christmas holiday in another development in this war, a germany in the u. s. i back, they are not prepared to send armored vehicles to you crate. do countries leaders announced that ukraine would receive german made mazda and u. s. built bradley fighting vehicles? this is the am x t, n r c. it's a french light battle tank that's highly mo bile and fitted with a powerful gun. now to ukraine's delight frances donating some of these ahmed combat vehicles. to cave france, if a will, did yo

despite the deep states attempts to stop me, i stand before you as a duly elected member of the united states congress, and tell you that a deep state exists and is perhaps the strongest overs -- covert weapon the left has against the american people. there is no doubt the federal government deep state coordinates with liberal activists and uses politicians and media to carry their water. they run secret messaging campaigns with one goal in mind, to increase its power, to censor and persuade the american people. dark money groups funded by liberal billionaires and foreign investors fund on monday to shell organizations and repeatedly attempts to destroy the american west. they want to wipe out the american cowboy completely. remove public access to our lands, and turned mont -- turned montana into a national park. want to control our land and our lifestyle. mr. speaker, i would like to submit a five part series of investigative articles at the center entitled keep it in the ground and the congressional record. -- amy the congressional record. we need to investigate and uncover invest -- corruption whe

proved during those three torturous days is that every faction within the gop before the united states congress is going to be heard. including the most radical, the most current -- conservative including the moderates and the one in the middle. so everyone on the gop is going to be heard and we had many conversations after those three torturous days that proved we are going to be able to work in a bipartisan fashion and i'm going to make sure i'm going to be one of those voices. >> we do not envy kevin mccarthy putting that group together. i think that's going to be challenging. but turning to you congresswoman cheryl, you saw what was unfolding for those three days i started to ask senator kunz -- does he have the possibility to see things get done both in the house and the senate and the two years to come? do you think that process will have a lot of impact on the environment to get things done in the house? >> i think what we saw as there are two ways this could go. one is somewhat dire for the country, and one is somewhat hopeful. by that i mean what we have seen over the last several cong

in the united states congress. my net worth was net zero a couple times. >> jesse: so how did joe biden go from zero to a multi millionaire? well the bidens want us to think it was just the luck of the draw for middle class joe. they went from living off a government salary to making $11 million in joe's first year out of office. pure luck. so where did the money come from? well, we're told joe and jill got lucky with an $8 million book deal. joe was supposed to write two books. jill just one. jill's book only sold 45,000 copies. joe's did all right. and he hasn't written a second one yet. i mean, the ghost writer hasn't written the second one. plus, they tell us joe made 4 million in speaking fees, 4 million. the guy can't even speak. i mean, i can see you paying obama a lot of money but biden? who is paying money to listen to biden? we don't know. but that's the point. they were funneling all their money into s corporations. what's an s corp.? it's like your own corporation. like a side business. you pay less tax

two of my best duddies in the united states congress, no hyperboles, two of the best united states senators i have ever served with an i served there for 36 years. ben and chris. quasi mfume -- qweise mfume, that's the guy i call. you helped us get so much of this doab including the prompt we're here to celebrate. thanks to the members of the maryland delegation and congressman john sarbanes, he and his dad and i talked a lot about amtrak. spent a lot of time working on it. dutch, you're still here, aren't you? dutch, good to see you. as well as steny hoyer. steny, hell of a guy. for real. [applause] i kidded steny for years, he represents the western shore of delaware. we call the delmarva peninsula. steny, you're the best, one of the greatest champions this state has ever had. and an incredible majority leader and continues to serve maryland very well. you know, i mean it sincerely, i don't think there's a better delegation in the entire united states of america than the delegation here in maryland including your state legislate yours as well. [applause] somebody who i was senior to but n

united states. hundreds of thousands of whom they're not even tracking. they are failing to live up to the laws already enacted by the united states congress. >> harris: that's the point. the original crime of going between those ports of entry and illegally accessing our country, that's the original crime. they don't want to adjudicate that. they don't want to see it. they don't want to see who is doing it. homeland security secretary mayokas said this about your cooperation, governor. watch >> governor abbott is not collaborating with the federal government on an issue that requires collaboration. we cannot have unilateral governor action that is not coordinated with the federal government to address an issue that is of national importance. >> harris: what is your response to that? >> i spoke to him about that yesterday. so after i spoke to the president, i spoke to secretary mayokas and i said listen, you all have the authority to stop this illegal immigration and stop people from crossing the border between ports of entry. i expect you to fulfill that. he said that he would look into it. but also know this. the only reason why we have these people coming

this is about the united states government honoring the obligations that prior congresses have already made. it is a sacred -- obligation, full faith and credit in the united states. congress let the deal with the credit -- debt limit, without conditions, without putting our economy risk -- at risk. >> house republican leaders say they will insist on spending cuts in turn for agreeing to boost the spending meant. democrats in the senate and president biden are rejecting the hostagetaking maneuver and want the same deal as president trump. -- $1.6 million, the small sum is because of limits under new york state law, and more fallout could be ahead. the real potential could be the long-term blowback to the business going beyond reputational damage to freezing out of government contracts. the faa is out with polin neri findings on the computer failure that halted departures. a data file was damaged as a result to fail to follow government features -- procedures. global news, 24 hours a day, on air and on quicktake by bloomberg, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more th

but those of us who have served in the united states congress, this is here we go again.s is legislation that is attempting to be wrapped in mercy that is without mercy. first of all, it is without fact. it is extremely important to know that if you are here in the united states congress, you know the history. because we have already passed a bipartisan born alive infant protection act which reiterates the fact that it is illegal to interfere with a newborn. they are protected. from both intentional harm by health care performers and harm from medical negligence. plain and simple, period at the end of the sentence. so why are we here today? we're here today for news clips. we're here today for quotes ancon democrat nation of that other side of the aisle that wants to be reckless with the life of a child. i can assure you that those of us who have guinn birth, those of us who are lost in the birth process, are extreme lovers of those wonderful opportunities of life. i refuse and reject condemnation of my personal self because i believe these decisions are with a god, the w

veterans always top of mind for the united states congress, they did take action in the last congress. host: because of the deal made with the house freedom caucus, how much does that increase? guest: that is separate from the rules package. there were some side agreements that were made with kevin mccarthy, specifically three members of the house freedom caucus, the far right members of the gop conference, they are a nebulous group did we do not know exactly how many. some people say we are in the freedom caucus, others do not say publicly. they did secure three spots on the very influential rules committee. just to explain what that is, the rules committee decides how exactly bills come to the floor in what form, when they come to the floor. very important in terms of packaging legislation together. they can package bills altogether as a big omnibus package and moved to the floor, they can break it all apart and try to pass things separately. that is a very important committee. it is tightly controlled by the speaker of the house. they have secured three spots on that important comm

member of the united states congress. we need to fight for that american dream for everyone that wants a shot at it. part of that is, of course, the rule of law and keeping opportunity alive for everyone. maria: yeah. that is a great story, and it sure is the american dream. so having said that, do you want to see alejandro mayorkas impeached forker the application of duty? all of those people waiting to do it the way you did it, legally. >> well, as i said in the previous segment, hal -- alejandro mayorkas has ultimate -- utterly failed and has not been held accountable, and that is a big, big problem. now that the house is on the republican side, we are going to hold him accountable, ask the right questions, and he has to go. he has failed and he needs to go. maria: congressman, it's good to have you. we hope you'll come back soon to "sunday morning futures." >> absolutely. thank you. maria: that'll do it for us. the news continues this week on "morning s with maria," join us live from davos, switzerland, this week, i'l

as a businessman, public service in the florida legislature, and now has a member of the united states congress. now, here we are, and for the first time in history there have been two black americans placed into the nomination for speaker of the house. however, madam speaker, order. madam speaker -- or madam clerk, order. we do not seek to judge people by the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character. byron donalds -- byron donalds is a good man, raised by a single mom, who moved past adversity, became a christian man at the age of 21, and has devoted his life to advancing the cause for his family and for this country. and he has done it admirably. but there's an important reason for nominating byron. and that is, this country needs a change. this country needs leadership that does not reflect this city, this town that is badly broken. the house of representatives is the people's house. it represents the entirety of our country and we each represent some 750,000 people. and we come here and here we sit in a room filled with those representatives. and my friend, mr. gallagh

if the voters give you the privilege of coming to the united states congress and serving, do what you told them you were going to do, do what you said you were going to do, fight for the things they elected you to fight for. you did that. that is why you got elected the first time you ran, you were doing that very thing. if you go back and look at the promises we made in 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, all those years republicans had a majority, we promised we would do certain things and seemed there was always a million excuses for why we couldn't do what we said we were going to. that is why we formed the freedom caucus and what i talk about in the introduction, the freedom caucus and you are part of that initial group of guys who came together and said we got to fight for the forgotten people of this country, the moms and dads who think this town has left them behind, we are supposed to fight for them and we decided when john boehner wouldn't carry through on promises we made to the people who elected us and gave us the majority that it was time for a change so the introduction starts off with

united, then the president came in shame and reported it. and the united states secretary of defense lied to the united states senate congressto the people about why they started the war. they knew the truth. this is american democracy. securing the united states she surrounds with a united step. it threatens all of her southeast asia 50 years have passed. the americans suffered a disgraceful defeat there. what's this? someone did something for the world for the world. as soon as they left, it happens everywhere, where where they leave. it actually reigns there. these are the vital security interests of the united states vietnam ukraine afghanistan well epiphany of course, came to the broader masses and to the ranks. that is to say, politicians. i am reminded of the book of senators. so he then tried to formulate the reason for the failures of the military e, and this factor, as with the young forces. it seems to me that the americans still have this lesson. naturally, those who are under the american heel in kiev cannot learn this lesson, which is clearly now losing any strategic initiative alexandrovich behind the events a

external political interests of the united states who want to somehow apply that germany in solving european issues, so they, uh, turn to the united states congress will say the parliament of france or another state in order to enlist the support of such a powerful authoritative power and show that they e. the policy of the united states is just that our germany is in order to weaken the position of germany europe i think about this is, how would uh such uh, the overseas uh request is more there. do you think that in germany there is generally an opportunity to pay such an amount or it can be withheld from somewhere if a decision is made in favor of poland. i am not an economist, and so to speak, i do not operate with any specific figures. eh, in principle, any germany. e, the amount can withstand the germans are a very disciplined people, so to speak, e hardworking. uh, economic active and therefore, well germany over the past decades. how many different ways to say fulfilled the requirements, which i think is unlikely they will make any concessions, because there is actually a very serious tangle of contradictions between poland and germany and

your leadership makes it greater , we in the united states congress want to be your partner. u all so very much god bless all of you, and got place the united states of america. [applause] ♪ >> thank you so much, congresswoman. we earned our seat at the table and we need to on that. i appreciate her taking the time to be with us. in recent years our numbers have shown progress. we have, we are more optimistic about gender equity and politics is moving in a positive direction. we saw both parties with numerous first among women elected to federal, state, and local positions and while there have been important advances their access to participation and leadership positions is challenged by a range of barriers. it is vital for us to ensure that there are policies within our own government structures as well as business and greater communities for us to be able to move women forward. the women's leadership alliance is committed to increasing leadership, numbers of women who serve as mayors and active participation of all current email mayors is crucial to that success. this aftern

if they giveed you the privilege coming to the united states congress serving, do what you told them you would do, fight for the things they elected you to fight for. you didou that, it's why you got elected the first time every other time because you were doingth that very thing. if you look at the promises we made ten and 11 and 13 and 14 in all those years when republicans had a majority we promised we would do certain things and it seems like there was always a million excuses and that's why we formed the freedom caucus and what i talk about in the introduction and freedom caucus when your part initialhe group coming together thing got to fight for the forgotten people of his country. for moms and dads who think this has left them behind and forgotten them as opposed to fight for them. time and time again he wouldn't carry through on the promises we make to theon people who elected us and gave us a majority that it was time for a change so it starts with the day mark meadows which hadn't been done and 90 some years. one thing, in the history of this great country, the greatest na
