00:03Thank you very much, Chairwoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina.

00:07And indeed, Republicans were elected last November with promises made, promises kept.

00:12And despite the extraordinarily ignorant lies on the other side,

00:17the American people know that the bill that we'll be voting on today reduces taxes, creating jobs.

00:22It's the elimination of taxes on tips and overtime.

00:25It provides for securing the border.

00:28It provides for energy independence.

00:30It provides for the ability of having peace through strength.

00:35All of this is in the bill.

00:36And then compassion.

00:38It's not compassion if you support programs that are ultimately going to fail.

00:42But Republicans want people who need assistance to receive the assistance.

00:46We already know Margaret Thatcher has identified what they're proposing.

00:49And that is socialism will work until you run out spending other people's money.

00:53They are putting the poor people of America at risk.

00:56We're the ones of compassion.

00:58Additionally, with the promises made, promises kept by Donald Trump.

01:02I've lived it.

01:03I led the delegation to move the delegation, the embassy, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

01:09He did that.

01:10People said you shouldn't do it, the State Department, because it leads to dislocation.

01:13No.

01:14It led to the embassy being in Jerusalem.

01:17And it led to the Abraham Accords.

01:19We know last week the president was advised, do not bomb Iran.

01:24It will lead to World War III.

01:26No.

01:26It has led to a ceasefire and the ability of having an Abraham Accords extended to other

01:32countries, including Syria.

01:33And I'm really grateful that Lindsey Graham was such an advisor.

01:36The president acted despite the naysayers that we have all around us.

01:40I just appreciate Donald Trump promises made, promises kept.

01:45I yield back.

01:46Tell me he yields back.
