Speaker 1: back. Thank

Speaker 4: y'all

Speaker 5: so very much. Thank you, God bless

Speaker 6: you, you did a great job. I've

Speaker 7: got a hot

light on

Speaker 7: okay, that

Speaker 8: was good

First of

Speaker 10 (higher-pitched voice): all, thank you so much for coming out tonight, taking time out of your busy schedule to come and spend some very important

time

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): with me. We have a lot to talk about tonight. The state of our country is in dangerous

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): times. And the reason why we are where we are is because the federal government has forgotten the American people and no longer serves you

and it

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): should never be this way and Diane I really want to thank you for bringing up when I first ran for Congress that was something I was

going to

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): bring up look you all know me you you know who I am

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): you elected me I work for

Woman 14: you I do not work for Washington DC I do not work for the special interest I do not serve the lobbyists

I

Woman 14: I do not serve any other group. I work for Georgia's 14th district

And I thank

Speaker 15: you. I humbly thank you. So I want

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): to get one

Very

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): important order of business because I do work for you and so does my staff. I have an incredible district staff. We do all the constituent services

Woman 16: and my staff is amazing. I'm so thankful for them. If anyone is here tonight

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): and you need help with anything from veterans issues, social security issues, tax issues, passports, and on and on and on, you can go and see my staff

Woman 16: Tracy, raise your hand. This is Tracy. She's a superstar. And Tracy is here to help you with that. And Kayla is here as well. So please, if you have it, yes, give them a round of applause. They deserve it

It's about

Woman 17: customer service, everyone

Speaker 10 (higher-pitched voice): That's the most important thing that

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): I do. And then I've got also people are here from my D.C. office. They flew

Woman 18: down for this town hall because this is so important to us

So

Woman 18: moving on, the whole reason I ran for Congress, and you guys know this, is because we know exactly who the Democrats are. They tell us their

Woman 16: agenda. They tell us their policies. And then they do something that I'm quite impressed

Woman 18: with, they follow through. But I ran for Congress in 2020 because I was fed up with Republicans not following

Woman 16: through. Republicans

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): have a very, very bad habit of making promises on the campaign trail, making promises to you on television, talking tough against the Democrats agenda

Woman 18: and then doing nothing to stop it

That's why

Woman 18: I ran for Congress. That's how I campaigned with every single one of you. That's why you

Woman 19: elected me and sent me to Congress. Because we know that if you do not solve problems, we know that if you do not fix things that are broken, they

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): continue to the point of collapse. And that is where we are heading today in our country. So I want to go ahead and start with playing you all a video. And then I'm going to get into this really important issue. You guys can go ahead. Where's

Speaker 20: Kayla. Okay, go ahead. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise in extreme opposition to

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): the second part of the omnibus bill. No Republican in the House of Representatives

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): in good conscience, can vote for this bill. It is a complete departure of all of our principles, especially if you call yourself pro-life. This bill funds full-term abortion. This is not a Republican bill. This is a Chuck Schumer, Democrat-controlled bill coming from the House majority that is supposed to be controlled by Republicans, but yet our majority has been completely

Speaker 23: handed over to Democrats. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the chair, please

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): Madam Speaker

It

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): is the will of our voters and it is the will of Republicans across the country that this bill should not be brought to the floor, that this bill will absolutely destroy our majority and will tell every single one of our voters that this majority is a failure. This is the bill that the White House cannot wait to sign into law. This is the bill that rips our border wide open and tells every single person

Speaker 24 (higher-pitched voice): in over 160 countries around the world they can invade our country, they can run over our Border Patrol, they can run over our Texas National Guard, they can come in, rape our women, murder our people, and squat and take over our homes. This is an

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): atrocious attack on the American

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): people. The Speaker of the House should not bring it to the floor, and this bill should not pass

And then our Speaker of the House, our

Speaker 25: Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): Brought that very bill to the floor, passed it with the Democrats

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): and did not have the majority of Republicans. So I filed a motion

Speaker 27: to vacate

That is a

Speaker 27: very serious issue

Now let's talk about what

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): this means. What really happened

You

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): all are some of the brightest people in

Speaker 29: the country. I know you follow very closely what is happening in Washington. Currently, right now, the

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): Democrats control the White House, Joe Biden being president. The Democrats control the Senate. And Republicans control the House of Representatives with

a

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): razor thin majority. That's a majority I fought for. That's a majority that I campaigned all over the country to help Republicans get elected. This is a majority that I donated money to, hundreds of thousands of dollars to help Republicans win the House. This is a majority that's extremely important

Woman 16: because the Republican majority in the House of Representatives should serve

As

Woman 16: the wall that protects America from Joe

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): Biden and the Democrats destructive agenda on this country and on the American people

This

Speaker 31: has been a tough year for

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): Republicans in Congress. We have had bitter battles with one another. But I want you to

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): know, anyone that serves in leadership in America should be prepared to battle for what is right. We should be prepared to fight it out with one another. We should be prepared to find common ground

We

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): should be prepared to hold on and do what is right. To do what our voters sent us to do. But that has not happened this Congress

As a

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): matter of fact

Woman 18: our Republican House majority has failed completely

And I have

Woman 18: had enough of it

So I am

Woman 18: here in person in a town hall in my district to talk directly to you about this serious problem that we have

And the

Woman 18: reason why I'm doing that is because, like I said, I work for you

I work

Woman 18: for you. You hired me. I work for you in Washington, D.C., And as you just saw on that clip right there, I do not hold back

I

Speaker 33 (higher-pitched voice): don't hold back

Woman 34: Now, since we have elected Mike Johnson

Woman 18: as Speaker of the House, and I want to tell you about his promises to us. He sent us a letter, okay? I'm going to tell you what his promises

were. He

Woman 34: sent us a

Woman 16: letter and he gave us seven tenants

He said a speaker

Woman 16: of the house he would restore trust by ensuring total transparency open processes and regular order

He has

Woman 16: broken that

Woman 34: tenant Destroyed

it Let

Woman 34: me tell you what he

has done. I Not

Woman 18: only did he pass three CRs, a CR is a continuing resolution, it continued Nancy Pelosi's budget from last Congress. Pass

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): those clean. Three times. Three times. Did that with Democrats

He also broke

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): our

Woman 18: rules. Here he promised open processes and regular order and total transparency. We have not had that from the Speaker of the House. Because he has gone and worked with Chuck Schumer in the Senate, Mitch McConnell. Do you guys like Mitch McConnell

Is Mitch

Woman 18: McConnell the

Woman 16: leader in Washington that our Republican speaker should be listening to? No, absolutely not. He's also worked with Hakeem Jeffries and the White

Woman 18: House, not with his members. He has broken our rules

That

Woman 19: bill that I was arguing on, that we were debating on on the House floor, he broke every rule

He suspended the

Woman 19: rules, which

Woman 18: means it didn't go through rules committee. It was supposed to go through rules committee. Then he broke the 72-hour rule. He gave us one day to read a bill that was over 1,000 pages. No one can read a bill that's 1,000 pages in a day

And

Woman 18: then he brought it to the floor and passed that bill with all the Democrats voting for it and the majority of the majority against it. That

is not what a

Woman 18: Republican Speaker of the House does. That was the second part of an omnibus. That was another thing that we promised you all we wouldn't do. We said we will not pass omnibuses. We will pass separate appropriation bills. That failed right before Easter. He passed half of the omnibus one week, then brought that second part of the omnibus to the floor, passed it with the Democrats without our input, and the most egregious thing he did was he tied our hands behind our backs and would not

Woman 34: let us make amendments. Amendments are an extremely important process. Amendments are our way of trying to do everything we can to change a bill, maybe to add something to it or take something out. Let me assure you, there were many amendments I

Woman 19: would have loved to put to the floor for a vote on that bill. Here's one, that omnibus funded full-term abortion. Full-term

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): abortion. I'm talking about babies up until nine months. funded full-term abortion clinics

Woman 16: I would have loved to introduce an amendment to strip abortion funding out of that bill

That came

Woman 16: from our pro-life Republican speaker

This bill funded the

Woman 16: trans agenda on children. Yes. Chest binders and other clothing, education, LGBTQ groups

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): that target children with the trans agenda

One of the

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): most evil things happening in

Woman 18: America today. That bill that our Republican speaker Mike Johnson tied our hands behind our back, brought to the floor and got it passed with Democrats

Did

Woman 18: absolutely nothing to stop the border invasion, nothing

Let me

Woman 18: tell you, you heard all the time from Republicans, we will use the power of the purse. That was the power of the purse. The appropriations and how we spend your hard-earned tax dollars is the power. And in that

Woman 16: bill right there, That's how we spent your money. There were no policy writers

in that

Woman 16: bill. There was no language in that bill to stop Joe Biden's deadly border invasion

We

Woman 18: could have put HR2, our border security bill, inside of that and totally changed the Democrats' border policies. We could have put the Lake and Riley Act that would deport criminal aliens. We could have put that in that bill

Mike

Woman 18: Johnson did none of it. He fully funded the border invasion

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): and then went out to fundraise against Joe Biden's border invasion

Speaker 36: Maybe a Democrat

Speaker 35 (higher-pitched voice): speaker actually. Let me tell you what else that bill did. It fully funded the FBI and the Department

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): of Justice

Right

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): now, the Department of Justice, with Jack Smith, has 91 federal indictments against President Trump. The Biden administration's Department of Justice

Woman 16: wants to put President Trump in jail for the rest of his life. That is a death sentence. Joe Biden's Department of Justice wants a death sentence for President Trump

Speaker 37 (higher-pitched voice): This bill fully funded Jack Smith's investigation and prosecutions. That bill also

Woman 16: fully funded the prosecutions against January 6th defendants who are being arrested on average one every day today. Every single day, there are still January 6th defendants that are being arrested. Every single day. That bill fully funded

it. That bill

Woman 16: also fully funded the prosecution of pro-life protesters that were arrested for praying and

Woman 18: singing and offering women an alternative to abortion. They

are

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): being prosecuted and are facing 11 years in jail

That

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): bill fully funded the Department of Justice to continue prosecute pro-life protesters. No, not Antifa or BLM

Woman 18: pro-life protesters. That bill fully funded the FBI that raided

Mar-a-Lago

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): That went through the President's home, President Trump's home went through all of their belongings. Wrongfully, unconstitutionally raided President Trump's

home

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): Fully funded the FBI even more. So Mike

Woman 18: Johnson gave the FBI the full funding to build a brand new building rewarded

them These are

Woman 18: the these are just a fraction of the things that were in that funding am I angry? Yes My

Speaker 38: question to you is are you angry? Yes

Speaker 39: you're damn

Speaker 38: right. You're angry

Speaker 40: Yeah, you want

Speaker 38: a

Speaker 41: refund

My

Speaker 41: goodness, you pay for this

Speaker 43: So

Woman 19: here's our issue. This is our Republican Speaker of the House. Let me tell you, here's what they're pushing back on me. Oh, Marjorie, you know

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): silly Marjorie. This is how things are done in divided government. No, they are not

That

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): is not true, and they don't have to be done this way in divided government. And let me tell you why. Do you guys remember back in the

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): mid to late 1990s when Bill Clinton, Democrat, was president? The

Senate was

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): controlled by Democrats, but the House was controlled by Republicans. Remember Speaker Newt Gingrich

Woman 16: right

Under those

Woman 16: Republicans in the House, they were able to balance the budget, right

and

Woman 16: they had many other conservative victories, that was under a Democrat-controlled White House, that was under a Democrat-controlled Senate, and that was under a Republican Speaker of the House. Do not tell me that this is the way we have to govern in a divided government because that is a lie. When Republicans in the House are in the white flag before they have even taken a step on the battlefield, yes

They

Woman 16: are giving everything over to the Democrats

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): and we will win nothing and that is the leadership We have in Washington DC and I will not tolerate it. I won't tolerate it

Let me tell you this is going to

Speaker 44: get worse

Woman 45: Okay. That was just the appropriation bill where we completely lost our

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): opportunity to do anything to secure the southern border and to stop the Department of Justice, stop the FBI, hold them accountable. We failed on every level because our Speaker of the House tied our hands

Woman 16: behind our back and worked with Democrats. But it's about to get worse. How do you ask me

We go

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): back to Washington tomorrow. I have a flight tomorrow morning. But you all were the most important people that I could talk to before I go do my job this week. Here's why

They want to

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): reauthorize

Woman 16: FISA. Do

you all

Woman 16: know what FISA is? Yes. Do you remember how FISA has been abused by the FBI? They spied on President Trump and his team and his staff during the Russia hoax

Speaker 10 (higher-pitched voice): They have spied on hundreds of thousands of Americans by unconstitutionally warrantless spying. Well, Mike Johnson is bringing us back because

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): he wants to reauthorize FISA because it runs out on April 19th. This is not an annual reauthorization in the government. This is for five years

Five

Woman 18: years. I want you to imagine after we have watched our government

spy

Woman 18: on the american people totally

Speaker 37 (higher-pitched voice): violate your rights your freedom of speech censors you on social media make sure that you were kicked off of social media how many people have been kicked off of facebook

Speaker 47: yeah instagram twitter yeah okay there's some good people in here thanks for coming

Speaker 48: yeah i guess

Speaker 47: what i was permanently

Woman 45: banned on band on twitter for a whole year too

as a

Woman 45: sitting member of congress

Our

Woman 45: government

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): wants to silence your speech. Our government wants to know what you're doing in your private life. Our government wants to take this a lot further if Democrats keep control, oh, a lot further. They wanna know how you spend your money, where you spend it, who you spend

it

Speaker 49: with. And if they get their way, they'd love to have a digital dollar where they can turn it off when they want to. So reauthorizing

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): something like FISA is a serious issue

It

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): is something to battle on

Speaker 50: Our government should never be able to spy on Americans without going to court and getting a warrant

What

Speaker 51: is the

excuse they're gonna give

Speaker 52 (higher-pitched voice): us? Marjorie, we have to reauthorize FISA because we could

have

Woman 19: a terrorist attack on our country. You wanna know what I wanna say back to

them

Woman 19: You should have shut the border down

Speaker 53: right

If you're

Woman 54: worried about terrorism, then we should mass

Woman 18: deport people. Not allow them in the country, take care of them with Americans' hard-earned tax dollars, give them a place to live, give them a school for their children, give them health care, and also let them

vote. it's

Woman 18: pretty

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): easy Americans should never be spied on without a warrant that is wrong but that's what we're going to be going up to vote on this week and Mike Johnson has got it all worked out so the deep state gets their way you

will see

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): us do amendments you will see us argue about it up in Washington on the house floor but the deal's already been done the deep state's going to get what

they want

Woman 19: that should never

happen

Woman 18: Speaking of borders, speaking of borders, let's talk about the country that most of us cannot find on a map, but that the Democrats and many of the rhinos

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): think is the 51st state of the United States of America, and that's the country of Ukraine

Now, do we

Speaker 55: have a heart for any

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): country that is under attack? Of course we do

We want

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): the best for the Ukrainian people. We want peace in their country. That is what we want. 70% of Americans want peace in

Woman 18: Ukraine. That's what Ukraine deserves. Ukraine does not deserve the United States federal government funding a war with billions and billions of dollars in our military equipment, which is the best in the world

in

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): order to slaughter an entire generation of young Ukrainian men. Because that is what is happening in Ukraine

Woman 16: that's the truth. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian men have already been killed. And they're drafting them every single day

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): throwing them up to the front lines to fight Russia in America's proxy war against Russia. That is

Speaker 52 (higher-pitched voice): exactly what this

is. that

Speaker 52 (higher-pitched voice): is what they're forcing you to pay for and I know you no one in America very

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): few people I would say agree with this most Americans do not want to pay for that buzzsaw of death

those are

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): murder fields and we're paying

for it Going

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): back to Washington this week and next week, they

want

Speaker 57 (higher-pitched voice): 60 billion of your money to go to Ukraine. $60 billion in one of the most corrupt countries on Earth, 60 billion. They've already sent them 113 billion. If you want to know something that will really make you angry, Ukraine gets $1 billion every single month. Every single month, it's like

Speaker 20: auto-draft out of your checking account

It

Speaker 20: goes to Ukraine to pay for their government, to pay their government salaries, to pay their

Speaker 10 (higher-pitched voice): pensions. Every month, $1 billion. Can you imagine what we could do in Georgia's 14th district with $1 billion every month

No, they send it to Ukraine. And they want to keep

Speaker 20: sending it to Ukraine, so much so that I think, and I've heard this whispered

in

Speaker 20: different meanings, they would love to send our uncles, our cousins, and our sons to that battlefield in Ukraine. And I will tell

Speaker 35 (higher-pitched voice): you, over my dead body will they do that. We should not be fighting

that war. The war we should be fighting is

Woman 17: at our own southern border. That is the war, if we're gonna fight a war, we should be fighting

Woman 16: the

cartels. That

Woman 16: is who is invading our country. That is who is attacking our people. Over 10 million people have crossed our border. Drugs, human

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): trafficking, sex trafficking. It's happening every single day. But they want to -- they think -- Mike Johnson says his top priority is to fund Ukraine. Top priority. No

The

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): American people's agenda is peace for Ukraine. Fight for our border. That's what our agenda is. And I would argue that families like Lake and Riley's family and other

Speaker 59 (higher-pitched voice): families who have lost loved ones to illegal alien murder and crime and fentanyl overdoses, they agree

Speaker 60: with that. Our border is the border that

matters

Woman 16: Speaking of borders

I'm

Woman 16: going to say this, I'm not going to, I don't want to toot my horn too much. But

I am the

Woman 16: only member of Congress that has brought

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): any accountability against the Biden administration in Washington, D.C. because I impeached Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Thank you

Speaker 61 (higher-pitched voice): and I'm very proud of that. So this week it's my articles of impeachment with

Woman 16: my name on them, impeaching Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas that we will be taking from the House and walking

Speaker 37 (higher-pitched voice): over to the Senate. We will be delivering those this week. Now you know Chuck Schumer, you know what he's going to do. He's going to vote to table

him. They

Speaker 37 (higher-pitched voice): do not want to admit

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): that they have a problem

But I

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): would like to go ahead and show you guys another video, which was my floor speech about these

Speaker 62: articles. I thank the chairman. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of HREZ 863

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): impeaching Secretary Alejandro

Mayorkas

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): Alejandro Mayorkas is guilty of aiding and abetting the complete invasion of our country by criminals, gang members, terrorists, murderers, rapists, and over 10 million people from over 160 countries into American communities all across the United States

His

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): willful refusal to secure the border has bankrupted communities, closed down U.S. schools that our children attend, drowned hospitals, and incapacitated law enforcement while empowering criminal cartels and illegal aliens. My Democrat colleagues argue that one cannot be impeached over policy differences. Well, I argue that breaking our laws is more than just policy differences. 300 dead Americans every day from fentanyl poisoning is more than just a policy difference, it's murder. Today in my own office, narcotics law enforcement officers from Georgia told me that 7 out of 10 Oxycontins or Percocets sold on the street are laced with fentanyl and that comes directly across the border from Mexico. Secretary Mayorkas has violated numerous provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, including unlawfully directing DHS to mass parole illegal aliens into the U.S. when federal law specifically prohibits this, and unlawfully implementing catch-and-release policies when federal law specifically mandates the detention and removal of inadmissible aliens

In

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): fact, detention facilities under Mayorkas have been mostly vacant because of such unlawful policies. The largest detention facility in California, which can house almost 2,000 illegals, is currently housing only six illegal aliens. He has violated his oath of office and breached the public trust by willfully refusing to ensure the laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the president are faithfully executed as required by Article 2 of the Constitution. He has allowed over 10 million illegal border crossers to invade our country, approximately 2 million of whom are known gotaways. These are people who have completely evaded U.S. authorities and are roaming the interior of the American communities, assaulting, raping, and murdering Americans, and God help us if we have a terrorist attack on our land. His subversion of the law has resulted in the highest number of illegal alien encounters in a single day

In

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): the highest number of illegal alien encounters in a single month, and the highest number of illegal alien encounters in a single year

Woman 63: surpassing every national record on each account. Gentlewoman's time has expired

Speaker 64: I yield the lady an additional 15

Woman 63: seconds. His willful refusal to enforce the law has resulted in the most egregious national security crisis in the history of our country. Democrats are in a quandary. Either they must own the policies of murder and crime of American citizens, or they can admit Secretary Mayorkas has broken federal laws and vote to impeach Secretary Mayorkas

Speaker 65: Secretary Mayorkas

Thank

Speaker 66: you

Speaker 67 (higher-pitched voice): You're welcome. and let me tell you something i should have never had to tell the

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): republican speaker of the house that i will force congress to vote on those articles of impeachment every single week until we impeach secretary mayorkas but

Speaker 69: that is what i had to do to get that done that's

Speaker 70 (higher-pitched voice): what i had

to do But I

Speaker 70 (higher-pitched voice): serve on the Homeland Security Committee. There are great members on there. I'm so thankful to our

Speaker 20: chairman, Mark Green, that helped us get it done once we were able to move forward on that process. But it shouldn't have been that hard, you guys. I'm telling you

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): it should not. The evidence is clear. And

that's why I

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): go back to this second part of this Omnibus. How dare our own speaker that we elected pass that spending bill. not do anything for that border nothing it's

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): it's horrid it's horrid let's talk a second about how much how

much money it's staggering we're

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): nearly thirty five trillion dollars in debt these are statistics I want you all to know we're nearly thirty five trillion

dollars in

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): debt every single night

As

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): we all sleep, and

Speaker 29: maybe after hearing this tonight, I'm sorry, you may not sleep that well

Every single night as

Speaker 29: we sleep, we

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): gain another $40 billion just on the interest alone. $40 billion last night while we slept, another $40 billion and more will be added tonight. CBO

is

Woman 19: estimating that in 10 years, we're going to be $55 trillion in debt. 10 years from now, this is a runaway train

So when we

Woman 19: talk about

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): appropriation bills and how the American people's money is spent

it should be

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): the most

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): important thing we do in Washington. It's our constitutional duty. In the House of Representatives, Congress is responsible for the budget

That's by

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): law in our Constitution

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): Therefore

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): spending your

money

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): should be our highest responsibility. Your money shouldn't go to a foreign

Woman 18: country that's not even a member of NATO called Ukraine. Your money should not fund a trans agenda. Your money should never fund abortion. Your money should not fund crazy science experiments that produce things like vaccines

or

Woman 18: animal experiments, your money should not fund most of the things that it funds. As a matter of fact, I really like the president of Argentina, Mealy, that is striking and cutting

Woman 19: all the parts of his government, cutting them to pieces and sending tens of thousands of their government employees out to the private

Speaker 74 (higher-pitched voice): sector to get new jobs. And that's exactly what we should do in America

Woman 14: it's outrageous it's outrageous but this is washington dc so

Woman 16: i just wanted to talk about that for a few minutes now i also serve on the oversight committee everyone and we have been leading the investigation into the impeachment inquiry of joe biden

you

Speaker 37 (higher-pitched voice): all know how i

feel If I

Speaker 37 (higher-pitched voice): had it my way, we would have impeached him a long time ago

Actually, if I had it

Speaker 70 (higher-pitched voice): my way, we would have been successful in our objection on January 6th and he wouldn't even be

Speaker 75: president. I'm getting better though

We'll

Speaker 76: get there

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): So, there's a certain someone that here, I want to show you his reaction when he came

Speaker 20: in and I just got, my Chairman Comer recognized me to speak to him and this was his reaction

Ms

Speaker 77: Green from Georgia for

five

Speaker 78 (higher-pitched voice): minutes. Thank you Mr. Chairman. Where's he going? Excuse me Hunter, apparently you're afraid of my words

Speaker 79: Whoa

Speaker 80: Oh. I'd like to reclaim my time, Mr. Chairman

Speaker 81: Wow

that's

Speaker 82: too bad. I think it's

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): clear and obvious for everyone watching this hearing today that Hunter Biden is terrified of strong conservative Republicans. In spite

Speaker 35 (higher-pitched voice): of all the talk that he had made, in spite of all the interviews he did, in spite of his little press conference that he had outside of the Capitol steps. And him

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): saying that he wanted a public hearing, after that took place, he would not come back for a public hearing

So that should tell

Speaker 35 (higher-pitched voice): you everything you need to know. He did come in for a private behind closed doors hearing where he had

Speaker 60: all of his attorneys and as much

But

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): someone very brave, someone I think is an American patriot, did come in and testify, and that is Tony Bobulinski

Speaker 84: So, I

wanted to play

Woman 17: you guys a clip from that questioning right

here. Thank

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Joe Biden continues to lie to the American people about his role in his family's businesses. In 2020, he stood up on stage of a presidential debate and told the American people that his family didn't take any money from China. That was a lie. Not only was it a lie, he knew it was a lie. He knew it because he met with his son

Speaker 78 (higher-pitched voice): Hunter Biden's Chinese business associates. I want to talk about CEFC, which is the China Energy Fund Committee. Mr. Bobulinski, who is Chairman Yee

Chairman

Speaker 85: Yee was the chairman of CEFC. Yes

Thank

Speaker 78 (higher-pitched voice): you. Jim Biden told the FBI and IRS that Chairman Yee was the protege of Xi Jinping, the leader of China and the Chinese Communist Party. Mr. Bobulinski, Rob Walker told this committee that Joe Biden met Chairman Yee. Are you aware of that? Yes or no

Speaker 86: I am now, I wasn't at the time

And Joe

Speaker 78 (higher-pitched voice): Biden also met with you, is that right

Speaker 87: Yes

he did

Speaker 87: Twice

Who

Speaker 87: is Director Zang? Director Zang was the number two at CFC

The executive

Speaker 78 (higher-pitched voice): director of CFC, the number two

Yeah, he was

Speaker 88: the number two executive, but really the point person that I worked with

Speaker 86: and the Biden family worked with. And he's the individual that Hunter Biden was shaking down at the end of July 2017, demanding that they fund the $10 million. they ultimately sent five, but $10 million to Hunter Biden's account, OWASCO. Thank

Speaker 78 (higher-pitched voice): you, Mr. Bobulinski. I want to show you a text message that Hunter Biden sent to you and his other business associates. I'm holding it right here. I'll read it to you. Hey, Tony, I have

Speaker 89: an idea. In light of the fact we are at

Speaker 90: James Lawyers and my chairman gave an emphatic note. I think we should all meet in Romania. He's

Speaker 91: speaking about my chair. Thank you, Mr

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): Chairman. Joe Biden continues to lie to the American people about his

role

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): in his family's businesses. In 2020, he stood up on stage of a presidential debate and told the American people that his family didn't take any money from

Speaker 92: Mr. Chairman, and I had direct communications with Director Zhang over WeChat, met him in Romania, met him in Moscow, met him around the world in New York trying to develop his business, and he was never referred to as the chairman, first of all. Second of all, That makes absolutely no sense in the context of this message because we are discussing Oneida Holdings, LLC. Thank you. So he was not

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): the chairman, just to clarify. Yes, sir. Okay. So I want to show you another text

When he

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): said his chairman, he was talking about his dad. This is from Rob Walker. It didn't seem to make much sense to Rob Walker either. So he said that when Hunter, he said this to you, when Hunter was talking about his chairman, and he was

talking

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): about his dad when Rob Walker came in to give his transcribed interview to the committee he basically said well Hunter was high or confused or mad and Rob Walker said that he was just trying to calm things down between you and Hunter but that doesn't really answer the question about who Hunter Biden is talking about Hunter Biden lied to this committee so here clearly he says Rob Walker's saying

Speaker 94: he's talking about

his dad So I want

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): to be very clear. We've established that Zang is not the chairman, obviously. Is that correct? Yes or no? Correct. Let me show you another message. This message doesn't call Zang Chairman Zang, does it? It just says the Chinese want to do business with the Bidens. As a matter of fact, it says both coming to be my partner, to be partners with the Bidens, with an S. He, Zeng, has implied that the number one has made it clear and available to him. Who is

Speaker 95: the number one

The

Speaker 96: number one is Xi Jinping. Xi Jinping

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): the president of China? Yes or no? The leader of the Communist Party, the CCP? Yes. Is the number one? Yes

Speaker 97: that's the number one that Hunter was referencing in that message

Okay. Now

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): let's be very clear, this was in 2017, but I would like to make it known for this committee that Joe Biden told the press in 2016, as a matter of fact, I quote, yeah, I am, I am going to run in 2020. He told the press in 2016 that he was running for president of the United States in 2020

So

Speaker 93 (higher-pitched voice): here is the Bidens doing business in China in 2017 when everybody knew he

Speaker 98: was planning to be president of the United States. Do you see that to be a serious problem, Mr. Boboli? I do

Speaker 92: and I wish this committee would thoroughly investigate it and focus on all the evidence that the SDNY has on CFC. They had FISA warrants, so they were reporting conversations, and I wish they disclosed all that data and fact to this committee. - Thank you, Mr. Bobulensky. - Oh, yeah

Just imagine if they

Speaker 100: had that on President Trump and one of his sons, Eric Trump or Don Jr. Imagine that scenario. Just to clear that up, that was

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): the most important five minutes I've heard in any committee hearing. That was when Tony Bobulensky testified

that

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): Hunter Biden's chairman was not anyone else, any of those other names. It was his father. His chairman is his father. That means that's my business partner. That's my boss. That's who I answer to. That's who Hunter Biden answers

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): to, his father. Then the number one person that they were doing business with in China is the president of

Speaker 57 (higher-pitched voice): China, Xi Jinping. Xi

Jinping. The

Speaker 57 (higher-pitched voice): leader of the Communist Party, the current

leader of

Speaker 57 (higher-pitched voice): the Communist Party, the current

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): president of China, it was the number one. Those text messages were personal text messages between Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, and Rob Walker. They were business partners at that time. Do

you understand what

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): danger that puts all of us in? Yes

Our

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): president of the United States is completely compromised

can

Speaker 52 (higher-pitched voice): be blackmailed, is bought and paid for. And our government is doing nothing

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): about it

As a matter of

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): fact, he is the perfect

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): president of the United States for them, for the deep state, because he will do whatever they

need and

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): whatever they want in order to continue this going

Okay. We

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): have a wide open border, ladies and gentlemen. We have terrorists in our country

Speaker 20: right now, today. Very likely by the thousands and thousands, maybe tens of thousands and more. We don't know. Our government does nothing about it. Our president has worked for and works with, and we don't know what they're doing now, with the president of China and many other

countries. We are in

Woman 18: debt, we are enslaved in our debt and the debt is growing and growing and growing and out of

Speaker 102 (higher-pitched voice): control. I have children and I hope to God, if God is willing, I have grandchildren. I will not tolerate a Speaker of the House that I voted for to

sell us out

Speaker 102 (higher-pitched voice): I will

not tolerate it. I

Woman 45: need to explain more to you. Not only did I fight for the Republican majority last Congress, I am fighting for the Republican majority

Woman 18: right now. And I'm going to fight even harder for the Republican majority next Congress, because I'm hoping and praying and fighting with all I have for my favorite president

Woman 34: to be back in the

White House. And that

Speaker 103: means that we have to have

Woman 54: a Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a Republican-controlled Senate that can pass his agenda, but

Woman 16: it cannot be led by anyone in leadership

Speaker 74 (higher-pitched voice): that has done the bidding of the Democrats and the Biden administration. That cannot

happen. I am not

Speaker 61 (higher-pitched voice): alone in this. There are other members of Congress that feel exactly the way I do

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): There are other Republicans. And we have to go to Washington. We have to work together. We have to talk together and we have to figure out how to solve this problem. But I wanted to tell you all first, it is a serious issue. It is a serious issue because like I said, it's not over. Ukraine is coming

Speaker 61 (higher-pitched voice): Ukraine funding $60 billion they want. Pfizer reauthorization is this week. And guess what? Government has to be funded again by September

Woman 16: 30th. So that same garbage bill, big fat two-part omnibus that just got passed. Yeah, we do that all over again in September on September 30th. That's right

So

Speaker 32 (higher-pitched voice): all of this stuff that the Biden administration got that Chuck Schumer couldn't wait to get those bills across his

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): desk. He could not wait to line up his senators and Mitch McConnell, line up his little soldiers

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): to vote and pass it and send it over to Joe Biden, whether he knew it or not

But he

Speaker 104: did know he wanted to sign it

Speaker 105: because they told him so

this is the

Speaker 106: state of our country you can't even make it up it's

Woman 45: outrageous it is outrageous and it should not be happening here's something else that should not be happening I serve

Woman 16: on the coven committee and I get really frustrated with that

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): committee because I don't think it's doing anything that people really care about and so I want to show you

a clip from that I

Speaker 107: think creates vaccine hesitancy like ignoring people when they're reporting problems with vaccines that they're being mandated

Speaker 89: and forced to take vaccines that they have to take in order to keep their job vaccines that they have to take in order to be able to go to restaurants go into stores go into public places. Vaccines the doctors are telling them to take, but yet when they're screaming from the rooftops, something's wrong with the vaccines, I'm telling you, that creates vaccine hesitancy. The other problem is, is when you get censored on the internet, or you get permanently banned on social media, when you are a victim of a vaccine injury, or a doctor trying to report what you were seeing in your patients from vaccines. This chart right here, this

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): represents vaccine reports from all vaccines since 1990, 34 years. This represents reports on the

Speaker 89: COVID-19 vaccines since December of 2020, less than four years. Something's wrong with the vaccines. It's just because people are walking around and they've been

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): vaccinated and they're not reporting a problem doesn't mean other people aren't having problems. and this has been virtually ignored so much so not only has it been ignored it's also been censored and banned and labeled misinformation. This

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): was a coordinated effort with the White House, the Surgeon General, the CDC, the Department of Homeland Security, CISA, Stanford, and the Virility Project. As a matter of fact real people with real problems got censored such as Maggie

and

Speaker 22 (higher-pitched voice): de Grey. Maggie was a young child who developed severe symptoms and is still in, has a feeding tube today. She's a very sick child. That happened from the COVID vaccine

but

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): her mother was taken off of the internet when she tried to report the problem. Can you imagine trying to report a problem with your child who's having a real vaccine injury, but yet social media takes you off

and And the

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): White House says it's okay and Department of Homeland Security says it okay. And they label it misinformation. We can

talk about

Speaker 21 (higher-pitched voice): funding these government programs and throwing more money at these government programs. But that isn't going to change the fact that vaccines should have never been forced on all these people to begin with. And if we want to talk about diseases like measles... being transmitted among Americans, then perhaps we should talk about border security and stopping people who are unvaccinated from coming across our border. Should have never happened, but

Speaker 20: it's still happening

The vaccine

Speaker 20: COVID-19 vaccine, and there's a lot of people walking around that have never had any vaccine injuries, have no problems with them, and that's great. We're happy for that, but there is a percentage of people in our population that do have problems with these vaccines

And

Speaker 20: they should have never been forced to take

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): them in order to go to work, in order to go maybe in a Democrat city to go shopping, to go in a restaurant. Never should

Woman 19: have been forced on them

But it was. And

Woman 19: that is the party that did that to us. We'll do those things and more again

Yeah, in our

Woman 19: military. Absolutely

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): Our military was forced to take it. Myocarditis has been... extremely high in military members, heart problems, strokes, blood clots. They don't want to even talk about the blood clots. There's so many things they do not. My own COVID committee does not want to talk about those things

So at times

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): I hold my own hearings. I've held my own hearing on, on COVID and

on

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): vaccines. I've also held my own hearing on abortion and, and the, This horrific industry of selling, this is tragic, organs harvested from babies that were aborted. We had a hearing on that just recently. There's so many things that Washington, D.C. wants to cover up and not talk about that they have to be talked about

Now, here's

Speaker 71 (higher-pitched voice): our situation

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): in Washington. It is important for leaders like me, just like if you own a business or you're a manager at your job, if you're a parent or a grandparent, You have a responsibility

Woman 19: placed on your shoulders to solve the problems, to fix things, to not allow it to continue. That is our job. And this is why I keep bringing this back. The Republican Party has to make a decision

And we know

Woman 19: why this is an issue

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): Because America elected Donald Trump in 2016. And we elected him because we were fed up with Republicans

Fed up with them. Now, no

Woman 16: matter how you feel about President Trump, whether you like him or don't like him, his four-year presidency speaks for itself. It is night

Speaker 74 (higher-pitched voice): and day difference

It is night and day

Speaker 108: difference between... President Trump's policies and Joe Biden's policies

But

Woman 14: there's more to it. There is a large

Woman 19: percentage of Republican

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): voters that elected Donald Trump because he wasn't one of the normal Republican politicians. And we elected him and supported him because he wasn't one of the same old Republicans in Washington making sure that the wheels keep turning for the deep state

Okay. That is the

Speaker 109: referendum on the Republican Party that is really needing to happen now

Woman 18: And that is why it's so important that we stand up and say no more. You can't go on television and do your

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): talk, you know, your tough talk on TV and you can't go out on the campaign trail and do your tough talk on the campaign trail. You

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): can't call up donors and beg them for money and claim that you're against this and you're going to stop the Democrat agenda. When we have a Republican Speaker of the House that did none of that to stop it

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): He funded it. And so what I'm telling you and what I want you to know is number one, I'm not going to hand over the gavel to the Democrats. I will

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): never do that. But number two, and most importantly, I will not tolerate this anymore. That's the

Speaker 111: whole

reason I ran for Congress

Speaker 112: Now I want to take your questions. So you

guys

Speaker 113: are great. Y'all write these questions for me, and I've got to get my glasses out. Who

can fill the

Speaker 114: speaker's seat that will stand strong for the Republican Party? That's a great question. Oh

Speaker 115: they're not going to

Speaker 114: vote for me

If

Speaker 116: they wanted to actually fix everything, they should. No, there's a lot of great

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): talented people in there. And then here's how, when you vote for a Speaker of the House, it has to happen within our conference

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): Whichever majority party holds the majority in Congress is the one that elects the Speaker

So

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): all Republicans would have to fight

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): I mean, elect someone, pick someone and elect someone. And I support my conference

Let me

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): tell you how much I support my conference. I am one of the few republicans in

our

Woman 19: conference that's actually paid all my dues that's how much i support the majority i paid all my

dues

Speaker 117: and that

Woman 19: that is proof with my actions and my own dollars that i support our republican majority and that also means that i support my colleagues i and i respect them

So

Woman 19: if we have to vote for a new Speaker of the House

I

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): want them to be a part of it. It's not me bullying and pushing my way through. I know who I like, but it

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): would be a decision among everyone together. I wish it was a popular vote. I think you guys would pick a better speaker than our own conference. Has

Speaker 118: Speaker Johnson

Woman 16: explained his behavior on the budget

There is no, and I

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): don't know what explanation he could possibly give

I

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): have not heard one. Maybe we'll hear one

Speaker 119: this week and I'll be all ears to hear it. But he already funded all this stuff. I told you guys. How can

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): Let's go back to the glasses. How can Rep address the abortion issue in a less polar

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): How can Republicans address the abortion issue in a less polarizing manner? You know something, guys? I don't think it can be less polarizing

it's

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): just the truth and i'm i'm unapologetically

Speaker 120 (higher-pitched voice): pro-life i am that's my scene

and i and i am so always so

Speaker 120 (higher-pitched voice): proud and delighted and amazed when i go to

Speaker 49: women's pregnancy resource centers they're incredible there's a great one in dalton that's not too far from here

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): Um, I think women need supported. Um, I think men are also important in the decision making. I'm a big believer in daddies too, not just moms. And, um, listen, being a mom is, has been the greatest joy in my life, but way better than this job. I'll tell you that I

would do that job

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): all day long, but I don't think the

Speaker 119: abortion issue can ever be less polarizing because of the issue itself. Um. President Trump did put out a statement today if you want to go check

Speaker 121: out his statement and see where

he stands on it. We

Speaker 30 (higher-pitched voice): are a small veteran owned company. Our main competitor is in Europe. They engage in price dumping in an

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): effort to drive us out of business. Is there any way to protect USA businesses against this practice? Yes, there

is. My

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): goodness, and God bless you for being a veteran-owned business

Yes, your

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): business should come first. And there's a lot of ways we can do this

Woman 19: We can do this by putting taxes on things that we import into our country, but yet giving tax cuts and credits or any kind of help on their taxes for our USA-owned, American-owned companies

Our

Woman 19: American

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): business owners deserve the help, not the foreign business owners. I think we should put all of our American

Speaker 67 (higher-pitched voice): companies

first. No, we are

Speaker 122: not, unfortunately. We should be, we should

be. We

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): have to, Congress has

to do it. How do

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): people go to Congress and become multi-millionaires in a few years on a $175,000 salary? Mr. Walter, I do not know. I haven't found that money tree up there in Washington

Speaker 59 (higher-pitched voice): or printing machine that they all seem to have. It's amazing. Truly amazing

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): Nancy Pelosi, I tell you what, supposedly she has some great stock tips. Y'all should check her out

Speaker 123: How do you get the $34

Speaker 35 (higher-pitched voice): trillion deficit down? Oh

my

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): gosh. We stopped funding the garbage that Speaker Johnson funded. It's so simple. That's why I reference Mealy

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): down there in Argentina. That guy's brave. He has courage. His people in Argentina were brave when they elected him. He's doing exactly what any business owner that's on the verge of bankruptcy

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): does. Let's be real. The American people do it in your everyday life. I know I had

Speaker 119: to do it in mine before I ever became a member of Congress. When you hit hard times in a business or you find yourself in debt personally, you have to cut the spending, number one, right

And you

Speaker 119: have to change your habits, right? that goes with cutting the spending we can fix this problem in America if we're willing to do it but there's very little backbone in

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): Washington DC not enough courage and

Speaker 124: people there for the wrong for the

Speaker 125: wrong reasons yes that's

been

Speaker 72: talked about a lot yes he wants to he's

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): trying to forgive their student loan student loan debts i'm sure there's a lot of people that didn't go to college that really don't think that's

fair who

Speaker 126 (higher-pitched voice): do you support support for speaker will you run for the job we can we

Speaker 127: covered that one

What are

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): Republicans going to do to prohibit illegal ballot harvesting in the 2024 presidential election

and to stop

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): Biden from using taxpayer money? That

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): is one of the best questions. Let me tell you

I

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): think we're not doing enough yet, and I think we need to do more. Number one, everyone can get involved, and we need everyone

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): to get involved

But I

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): think some of the most important issues, these absentee ballots are ripe for fraud

And that

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): is a serious concern. I know, Georgia, we passed the new law. I would have liked to have seen it cut down dramatically

The

Speaker 20: amount of absentee ballots that are being used are really scary to me. And the fact that, you know, illegal aliens can come in the country and after they get their papers, they can get a social security number. And one of the ways you can register to vote with a social security is with a social security number. Driver's license or social security number. And you don't have to have proof of identification to register to vote with a social security number

I

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): totally agree with President Trump

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): Without safe elections, we don't have a country. Just like we don't have a country without strong, secure borders. And we're losing our country

Speaker 128: every day by not protecting our elections. Elections matter. And

I really

Speaker 128: think we need to do more

What

Speaker 129: can we do? Well

Speaker 130: we got to vote. We have

Woman 16: to

Speaker 131: Look

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): the state of Georgia has right now controls the... I'm at the federal level, so there's nothing I can do for state elections. And I

Speaker 132: can tell you right now with the way the Biden administration handles things, you don't want the federal government charge of your state elections

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): So I would encourage you to continue to put pressure on the state, your state legislatures, and continue to say we do not

Speaker 20: like the way our elections

are

Speaker 133: being run. I'm sure

Speaker 135: you can we can tell you can talk to one of my staff about that I've got to run

Speaker 136: through all the questions here. - We can

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): have somebody talk with you about this. We have to work through these. Thank you, thank you. How do

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): you reconcile your anti-immigrant rhetoric with your responsibility of representing a large Hispanic-American constituency here in

Woman 18: Whitfield County? Thank you for that question, whoever asked it. I'm not against immigrants. I'm for legal

Speaker 137: immigration

Let me

Woman 17: be very clear, legal immigration has nothing to do with your skin color, your identity, your sexuality, or your politics. Legal

Woman 18: immigration is following our immigration laws and coming in line legally, waiting in line like many legal immigrants have had to go through this

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): process, and those are many Hispanics

and

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): I'm very happy for them that they became American citizens. I represent my

Speaker 29: constituency here in Georgia's 14th district to the fullest and best of my abilities. I'm proud of my staff. We have an incredible constituent services

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): We have an incredible staff that's dedicated at all times. We represent those that legally immigrated here

today

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): Whether

Woman 18: they are Hispanic, whether they are Asian, no matter where they came from, we do work for them and we do a

Speaker 52 (higher-pitched voice): great job for them

Now, if

Speaker 52 (higher-pitched voice): they came here illegally, I suggest they go home, okay? I'm

not playing the race politics or the

Speaker 138: identity garbage

Speaker 29: Legislation is needed to protect the freedom of physicians to practice medicine without interference or unnecessary

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): restriction. We need to allow them to practice with the freedom they have traditionally had. Would you support legislation? Of course, that depends on the issue if you're talking about like how to treat COVID. There were many doctors that had incredible

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): protocols. and have saved so many COVID patients. I know one of the doctors, he's one of my own doctors, and he didn't lose a

Speaker 20: single COVID patient to COVID because he had such a great protocol. Those are the things I definitely support. I support a lot more freedom and healthcare. I think the government is getting way too involved. And obviously with everyone's health insurance prices, I'm sure you all know exactly what I'm talking about. Insurance prices all together, right? Outrageous

Can

Speaker 29: something be proposed to make it a federal crime to murder a member of law enforcement? No bail, mandatory life sentence if found

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): guilty. We have strong laws against murdering a member of law enforcement

Speaker 140: So I'm not sure specifically, but we do have strong laws against that

One

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): federal law that I have a bill for, and I can't seem to get it to the floor for a vote, is the Protect Children's Innocence Act. I forgot to bring that up earlier. This is a bill. This is very simple. It would make it a felony to treat anyone

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): under the age of 18 with puberty blockers, perform transgender sin surgeries

Speaker 120 (higher-pitched voice): on anyone under the age of 18 I think that I think

Speaker 67 (higher-pitched voice): that would be a great federal

law but I can't

Speaker 67 (higher-pitched voice): seem to get it to the floor for a vote imagine

that The

Speaker 29: WHO will be wanting to take over global health

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): policies in the world. Yes, they will. Including the U.S. We'll be voting on this. Would you please vote against the WHO takeover? You got my word

I will

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): not vote for the WHO. As a

matter of

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): fact, I don't think we should send a single penny to the WHO. They should have no say in anything we do

I'll tell you

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): guys a real quick

story. I went to Iowa

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): campaigning for you-know-who and I took part in

Speaker 119: the Iowa caucus

Speaker 141: there. They did paper ballots

Speaker 59 (higher-pitched voice): Impressive thing I've ever seen. They have all their little precincts and everybody goes to their precinct

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): and they caucus together and then they hand out paper ballots to everyone

you

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): write down who you're voting for and you turn it in at the table and right there in front of

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): all the voters the people at the table count the votes and tally the votes you cannot see it's the most transparent thing I've ever

Speaker 46 (higher-pitched voice): seen so all the voters get to watch the votes be tallied and then they get the results done and the entire thing is done in a few hours it's

Woman 19: there are no excuses

No

Woman 19: excuses why we can't have paper ballots. There's no excuses why we can't get our elections done in one day. This election

Speaker 26 (higher-pitched voice): shenanigans and counting ballots and absentee ballots for weeks and weeks on end. Watching them flip from President Trump

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): won to Joe Biden won. There's no reason for it. Everybody knows

it. What is

Speaker 128: happening with immigration issues? We're being invaded

Sorry, y'all know how

Speaker 126 (higher-pitched voice): I feel. How

do we fix our

Speaker 126 (higher-pitched voice): border problem? We put our military at the border. I

actually introduced

Speaker 56 (higher-pitched voice): a

Speaker 140: bill that would do that. It

hasn't been to

Speaker 142: the

Speaker 140: floor for a vote yet either. Why

Speaker 142: not

They

Speaker 140: don't want to fix the border

The Democrats

Speaker 143: would love new voters

They don't want to

Speaker 143: fix it

Speaker Johnson is

Speaker 143: better than

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): McCarthy. Why risk the Republican majority by calling for his removal? I

beg to

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): differ also. Now, I don't want to get into, I'm not going to get into the business of comparing Kevin

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): McCarthy to Mike Johnson

But I

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): will tell you, under Kevin McCarthy, we passed seven appropriation

Speaker 119: bills separately. They weren't packaged in a minibus or an omnibus. We only had five more to go, five

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): more to go

When we

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): elected Mike Johnson after three and a half really tough weeks, Mike Johnson passed three CRs. Never brought appropriations back in a single bill, like separately. We only had five. All we had to do was pass five more appropriation

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): bills. I'm telling you guys, three CRs, and then he handed us a two-part omnibus

He broke

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): the 72-hour rule, gave us one day to read over 1,000 pages

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): didn't even put the bill through the rules committee, and didn't allow us to do amendments. Okay

If

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): Kevin McCarthy had ever done that, I

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): would have filed a motion to vacate and thrown him out myself. So

I can tell

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): you right now, I fully disagree. You can feel however you want about Kevin

Speaker 29: McCarthy, but he has done nothing like Mike Johnson has done to us. Nothing. That's provable

That's no matter

Speaker 29: who you listen to on a podcast or whoever's post, those are the facts. Okay

And I

Speaker 29: think the facts speak for themself

I'm having

Speaker 144: a hard

Speaker 29: time. We the people. I'm not sure what the top said. We the people. Well, if it's we the people, I agree. We the people

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): is who needs to

be represented. Why

Speaker 73 (higher-pitched voice): do people go to Congress with ideals then sell out? Wonderful question

Speaker 145: You know

Speaker 146: well

there's

Speaker 147: probably a lot of reasons. I think some people go to Congress with really good intentions. I think

Speaker 29: they do. I think they start out with really good intentions and then they get there and that's where they make friends

And

Speaker 29: those are the people that they think matter because they don't come home and come in person to their town halls

And they don't

Speaker 29: come home enough and they forget about the people that voted for them and hired them in the first place. I think that's some of it. Another part of it is

they

Speaker 68 (higher-pitched voice): end up representing the groups and companies and lobbyists and special

Speaker 148: interests in Washington, D.C

I think

Speaker 148: some of them are just really dumb to begin with

I'll be honest. They

Speaker 148: are. I

Speaker 150: mean, look

at

Speaker 149: Jerry Nadler. I

have tons of

Speaker 149: examples. I

could go

Speaker 149: through a whole, probably hundreds of them, that

I don't

Speaker 149: know why they're there. And

then they

Speaker 149: were probably

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): never anything maybe that important or really

The

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): right

Speaker 29: type of things that are important before they became a member of Congress and then all of a sudden that's the identity that they think is the most important. Can

you

Speaker 151: imagine thinking that that's the most

Speaker 29: important identity

That's where

Speaker 33 (higher-pitched voice): people get off track. Most important identity I have is I'm the daughter of God. I'm a saved sinner. Thankfully, I'm saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. That's my identity

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): I'm also a mom. I also am a daughter and a sister and an aunt

Speaker 152 (higher-pitched voice): I'm a neighbor. I'm a friend. That's my identity. And then I'm a business owner. And yeah, please let it be the Trump

Speaker 154: train

I don't know why I get

Speaker 154: lost in Washington because I don't think Washington is that special

I

Speaker 154: think home is much more important

Why is

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): it so important for you to ask Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House? I think I've covered it. I hope I've covered it

What's happened to our

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): Republican Party

Why no

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): uniter? Why is Mike Johnson folding on everything the Democrats want? I

do not

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): understand it, and we don't

Woman 16: understand it

We

Woman 16: don't understand how someone that, but he voted no to Ukraine aid, by the way, September 28th, 2023, less than seven months

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): ago, he voted no to 300 million to Ukraine. And now all of a sudden he's saying it's his

Speaker 152 (higher-pitched voice): top priority is sending Ukraine $60 billion. I don't know what changes someone. I don't know how someone goes from being pro-life, and I believe he is. He's a Christian. I believe that about him. This isn't a personal attack on Mike Johnson

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): that's

Speaker 155: not it

for

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): me. I don't know how he goes from that stance to funding full-term abortion clinics. I have no idea

Speaker 156: That's what

some

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): people say. I don't have any proof of that. So for me, I'm telling you the truth. I do not know how someone changes so much. It doesn't make sense. And it's wrong. That's what I do know

It's

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): wrong. It's wrong

It's wrong

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): And you can't be the Republican leader and you can't be the Republican speaker of the House if you're passing all

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): the major bills with all the Democrats, tying our hands behind our backs, not allowing us to make amendments, not following the rules that we voted on, and not following the seven tenets

Woman 19: that he gave us

If

Woman 19: he's doing all that, he's not our Republican

Speaker 12 (higher-pitched voice): Speaker of the House, he's the Democrat Speaker of the House, and he's doing a better job than Hakeem Jeffries would've. And that's the reality. What

I

Speaker 11 (higher-pitched voice): can promise you is this, listen, our majority is important, but we are losing Republican members of Congress under Mike Johnson. They kicked out George Santos under Mike Johnson, even though he wasn't convicted

Woman 18: We have other Republican members of Congress leaving early, like Mike Gallagher. He's leaving early and not even

Woman 19: giving his district a chance to hold

a special

Woman 19: election to replace him

That's Mike

Woman 19: Johnson. His job is the care

Speaker 110 (higher-pitched voice): and keeping of our majority. And we're losing the majority under Mike Johnson. So

I have a lot of

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): reasons that are concerning to me. I wanted to address them here with you, because I think, again

You

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): are the people I work for, you hired me, and I want you to make sure that I

Woman 19: have an understanding, we have an understanding, here's where my head's at, here's what happened, here's why I'm mad

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): here's why I don't think we can tolerate

it. Where

Speaker 13 (higher-pitched voice): we go from here is going to be a process that will

Speaker 20: have to play out. But I thought it was important, most of all, for me to come to you guys and tell you first, before I get on a plane and go up there to the swamp. thank

you so

Speaker 158: much

Woman 54: everybody thank you for coming don't forget my my staff is here if you need help with any issue God bless you guys God bless Georgia and I'll see

you guys soon Thank

Speaker 159: you all my staff
