Transcript

00:00Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I rise in opposition to this America Last Amendment and reject the

00:06premise of the arguments that are being made. There are 600,000 Americans who live in Israel

00:11and one rocket has been fired against every 23 of them. 26,000 rockets since October 7th.

00:1943 Americans killed on October 7th, 12, taken hostage. But more importantly, the research

00:26that this fund is the premise behind the Golden Dome. When we support research and development

00:32for the Iron Dome, we are creating the capability for the United States to defend itself as well.

00:38And I have news. We have a nuclear weapon, too. That doesn't get you off the hook with those who

00:44are out to get you. When we oppose this amendment, when we vote it down, we are not only standing with

00:51Israel, we are standing with the best interests of the United States. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

00:56Chairman Yields? Yield back the balance of my time. Chairman Yields back the balance of his time.

01:01Okay. The question is on the amendment offered by the President.
