00:00Thank you, Madam Speaker. Last week, House committees moved the last sections of President

00:08Trump's one big, beautiful bill out of the respective committees. In the Energy and Commerce

00:14Committee, I was proud to support our legislation to unleash American energy, foster innovation in

00:22our telecommunications industry, and strengthen Medicaid programs by ensuring that it works best

00:29for the intended groups—children, pregnant women, seniors, and those with disabilities.

00:36This legislation also fulfills President Trump's campaign promises of ending tax on tips,

00:43tax on overtime, and tax on Social Security, and permanently extends President Trump's 2017 tax

00:51cuts, which ushered in unprecedented growth. This one big, beautiful bill also further

00:59backs President Trump's incredible progress securing our southern border by funding 700 miles of new

01:06border wall construction, nearly 1,000 miles of new river barriers, and additional frontline personnel

01:14at our southern border. President Trump's historic victory in November came with a mandate from the

01:21American people. Now it is our time in Congress to fulfill these promises, and I look forward to doing

01:28just that on the House floor this week by passing one big, beautiful bill. Thank you.

01:43Madam Speaker, just one month into President Trump's term in office, he signed a historic executive order to

01:50designate the Sinaloa Cartel as a foreign terrorist organization. This action allows for further

01:57collaboration among law enforcement agencies and additional resources from the federal government

02:03to track down and punish these criminals. President Trump also started a narco-terrorism unit

02:10within the Department of Justice, whose sole focus is tracking down and capturing the cartel leaders

02:17who have ravaged our nation with their poisons. Just last week, the Trump administration formally

02:23indicted the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel on charges of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking,

02:30and money laundering. While this might be the first action taken by the unit, it sends a clear-cut

02:36message to the cartel leaders who have waged war on the citizens of this great country by trafficking

02:43deadly poisons that have taken the lives of millions of Americans. This ends now, and I fully support

02:51President Trump's actions to hold these terrorists to account. Thank you.
