Transcript
00:00With that, I yield to my good friend from Ohio, our GOP chair of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Jim Jordan.
00:06For how much time?
00:07For two minutes.
00:07Gentlemen's recognized for two minutes.
00:10Mr. Speaker, you know it's a good bill because the left hates it.
00:13The left that defunded the police, the left that let 10 million people illegally enter our country in a four-year time span,
00:20the left that wants men to compete against women in sports,
00:23the left that lied to us about Benghazi, lied to us about the Hunter Biden laptop,
00:28lied to us about President Biden's health, the left that lied to us about COVID.
00:34You remember that.
00:35They got to go to the fancy restaurants, but all the people we represent,
00:39they couldn't go to church, couldn't go to work, couldn't go to school.
00:42The left doesn't like this bill.
00:44That tells you it's a good bill.
00:47This bill's about fundamental conservative principles, regular things that the American people appreciate.
00:52This bill cuts taxes.
00:54This bill requires work for able-bodied adults in our welfare system.
00:57This bill gives school choice to parents.
01:00This bill secures the border.
01:02We're the party that believes in letting moms and dads keep more of their money to spend on their goals and their dreams.
01:08We're the party that says if you get taxpayer funds and you're able-bodied, you should work.
01:15That's fair to the taxpayers.
01:16That's good for our economy.
01:17Most importantly, it's good for the recipient.
01:19We're the party that says parents, regular moms and dads, should get to pick where their kid goes to school
01:26so they can get the kind of education that will allow them to achieve the American dream.
01:30That's in this bill.
01:31And this bill secures the border.
01:33The primary issue of last fall's election, the issue that decided the election,
01:38the issue that put President Trump in the White House and Republicans in control of the Congress,
01:42this bill helps secure the border that President Trump's already got under control.
01:47That's why we should support this legislation.
01:49It cuts taxes, requires work for able-bodied adults, empowers parents to pick the school
01:54where their kid's going to get the best education,
01:56and secures the border like the American people want us to do.
02:00This bill is doing exactly what we told the voters we were going to do,
02:03and that's why we should support it.
02:04I yield back to the Budget Chairman and thank him for his good work on this legislation.
