00:00Members voted or wish to change a vote.

00:17On this vote, the yeas are 218, the nays are 214.

00:35The motion is adopted.

00:48Still got a little more time.

00:53Donald Trump's deadline may be independent state.

00:57That ain't my deadline.

01:06You know why, Mr. Speaker?

01:09We don't work for Donald Trump.

01:11We work for the American people.

01:14That's why we're right here now on the floor of the House of Representatives, standing

01:19up for the American people.

01:24We work for everyday Americans, for hardworking American taxpayers, fighting hard to make

01:29sure that we can live in a country where every American can afford to live the good life.

01:39Press on for democracy.

01:40We're going to press on until victory is won.

01:46I yield back.

01:53Aki, aki, aki, aki, aki!

02:05Aki, aki, aki, aki, aki, aki, aki, aki, aki.

02:18It makes no difference whether our colleagues across the chamber speak for 25 minutes or

02:2225 hours.

02:24They can't change the truth.

02:26And today was about performance for some of them.

02:31But today for us is about results.

02:33It results that improve the lives of Americans, regardless of their race, religion, color,

02:39or creed.

02:39It does not matter.

02:44I tell you what, Ronald Reagan used to remind us you can always trust the American people,

02:53and we do trust the American people, and they can discern the difference.

02:57What they saw on display here today is that Democrats deliver performances and Republicans

03:03deliver results.

03:08Today, my friends, we are ready now.

03:17We are going to deliver what we were sent here to do, and every American will benefit from

03:22it.

03:23In 1793, just steps from where we stand today, President George Washington laid the first

03:28cornerstone of the United States Capitol.

03:31Over 50 years later, on July 4th again, members of this body gathered once again to lay a second

03:37cornerstone.

03:39Once more on July 4th, at the height of the Cold War, Congress laid a third cornerstone.

03:44And this week, with this vote today, on our nation's birthday being tomorrow, we lay a fourth.

03:52With this bill, we can vote as stewards of that great legacy that we have inherited in

03:56this extraordinary nation that we are blessed to live in.

04:00We can lay another sturdy foundation for the future of this country, a future where working

04:04Americans can feel relief.

04:06Where government can finally start living within its means again.

04:10And where the United States is safer, stronger, and more prosperous than ever before.

04:18That's right.

04:19Now, I'm going to say this as they mock America and mock everything and mock the bill.

04:28We'll see how the people feel about that.

04:35So, listen, seriously, as friends and colleagues, really, across the aisle, what we celebrate

04:41tomorrow is the nation's birthday.

04:42Let's put the politics aside for a minute, and let's reflect on our blessings.

04:45No kidding, really.

04:47Tomorrow is the 249th birthday of our nation, and that's right.

04:52USA!

05:13USA!

05:14USA!

05:15USA!

05:16USA!

05:17I mean this sincerely.

05:18I thank my colleagues for standing.

05:20We all should be united in that.

05:21We are.

05:22We are.

05:23We have squabbles.

05:24We have partisan debates and all of this, but at the end of the day, we're all Americans,

05:28man.

05:29And we got to believe that.

05:30We got to know it.

05:31We got to recognize that we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world.

05:35It's not even close.

05:40My friends and colleagues, we are so blessed.

05:47We should not take it for granted.

05:49We live in the most free, the most successful, the most powerful, the most benevolent nation

05:54that has ever been on the face of the earth.

05:57And there's a reason for that.

05:59The reason that we are the greatest nation is because we were built on the ultimate foundation.

06:04And the bold declaration that my friend Hakeem Jeffries articulated earlier.

06:09It's true.

06:10We unite under that.

06:11The bold declaration that we do hold these truths to be self-evident.

06:15What is a self-evident truth?

06:17It's something that's obvious.

06:18We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.

06:21It does not say born equal.

06:23It says created equal.

06:25And that it is our creator.

06:27Yes.

06:28It is our creator that gives us our rights.

06:33See, the powerful thing about that is we're the first nation in the history of the world

06:37that acknowledged that our rights do not derive from government.

06:41They come from God himself.

06:56You see that, those words up there, that motto.

06:59It says, in God we trust, right above the speaker's rostrum.

07:02You know, a previous congress put that there in the early 60s in the height of the Cold War.

07:06There's a little visitor's guide that people get when you do tours late at night.

07:11You've probably seen your constituents and visitors and friends get the guide.

07:13If you turn, I think it's about to page 21.

07:15It explains why that's there.

07:17And it says, Congress voted to put that there as a rebuke to the Soviets' worldview at the

07:24height of the Cold War.

07:25Why?

07:26Because communism, socialism, find their root in Marxism.

07:31And Marxism begins with the belief that there is no God.

07:35It's wrong.

07:36And this Congress made us stand those many years ago and we should do it again.

07:40We're different.

07:41We're distinct.

07:42We're exceptional.

07:43Because we acknowledge that right there.

07:44Our motto.

07:45It doesn't say, in government we trust.

07:59It says, in God we trust.

08:02And we better remember that.

08:04He has blessed us with his grand experiment in self-governance now for almost two and a half centuries.

08:09And by God's grace, we are working hard and we are delivering on our promise to make America great again.

08:17This is without a doubt the most important vote of this Congress.

08:31And I think this may be the most important vote that any of us take in our entire lifetimes.

08:35And everybody better remember it however you vote today.

08:38My friends, the President of the United States is waiting with his pen.

08:43The American people are waiting for this relief.

08:46We've heard enough talk.

08:47It's time for action.

08:49Let's finish the job for him.

08:51Vote yes on the bill.

08:53With that, I yield back.
