00:00Well, good morning everybody. House Republicans just finished hearing from our president and he
00:14delivered a clear message and that message was get the job done. Everyone in that room agreed
00:23we will deliver this victory for the president and more importantly for the American people.
00:29The stakes are too high and we will not miss our chance. Now, switching gears to news that broke
00:37over the weekend, the American people are smart, but we already knew that. When the Biden her tapes
00:43were released on Friday, it proved that Democrats hid and lied about Biden's condition. The American
00:51people knew they were being lied to and this week, I hope no one takes the Democrats bait.
00:58Or the Democrats word for for anything, especially when they keep lying and fear mongering about the one
01:06big beautiful bill. We will not let them get away with their lives. And I hope you all ask them about
01:13the tapes this week too. Really interesting. Contrast that with House Republicans who will remain on
01:22offense this week as we advance our one great big beautiful bill. We will pass this transformational
01:29legislation for the families who just lost loved ones to the border crisis. Families like Lincoln Riley and
01:37Rachel Morin who were both killed by violent illegal immigrants like Zach Cullen who lost his life to
01:45fentanyl and agent Raul Gonzalez who lost his life pursuing elite and illegal immigrant near the border. This
01:54historic opportunity to secure our border and make our communities safer. This bill provides technology
02:01to improve border in for enforcement. This bill provides resources to support border patrol agents that
02:09they so desperately need. This bill provides funding to deport more violent illegal immigrants and materials to
02:19finish the wall. We have an opportunity right now before us to make generational investments in the safety of
02:27our communities. Let's close the floodgates and remove those that never should have been here in the first
02:35place. But let's not forget some of what other wins are in our bill and what's at stake. Like the people and the mom
02:45and pops, the businesses that are facing historic tax increase if we don't get this bill done. They will not survive if we
02:55don't pass this bill and those on Medicaid who need it strengthened, sustained and secured. It's time we put them
03:05first, not illegal immigrants. That's what we promise the people and that's what we intend to deliver to put the
03:14American people first. And the one big beautiful bill delivers on those priorities. And I know every single house
03:21Republican will be proud of its passage because when it's all said and done history will remember that Republicans put
03:31Americans first and the Democrats didn't. And now I would like to turn it over to our chairman Mark Green.
03:41I would like to turn it over to the department of the department. So let's try to put this figure out.
03:51And then update the organization in the department. So let's try and do this for a number of people to
03:54start doing this. And if you're going to WVP, please should go to the department. So let's go to the college
03:59of the department. So let's try and stop the department because this is a combination of the department. And I just
