sent to israel. [background noises] >> thank you all for being here this morning. we arebroad bipartisan support r

israel been actively undermined by president biden senate leader sch. but, at first i want to address the breaking news from this mornint a hour ago we learned president biden has invoked executiverio prevent the american people for hearing the audio recording of h testimony to special cancel robert her. the american people will n b hes felt the president of the united states was in special counsel robert hers or is a quote elderly man with a poor memory. and thus should not beharged. just think about that for a moment. president biden ipp afraid for the citizens of this country and everyone hear those tapes. they obviously confirm what the special counsel has. and would likely cause in his larmt the american people the president is using all of his power to suppress their release.

ther than defend our closest ally at war president biden is using his authori to defend himself politically. on the issue of today just as president biden defies the will of congr of executive privilege he is brazenly doing so byithhding congressionally mandated aid. just last month the house must rush toae aid as quickly as humanly possible. reverse course. yet again it is president biden senator schumer himself who are standing in the way of getting israel the resources it desperately needs to defend itself. the houses tried multiple times to deliver this much aid to israel. each e time biden and schumer have opposed it. and now jeeks after congress passed the national

security supplemental administration withholding weapons shipment to israel. an president he said not long ago we had to have ironclad support for[x israel. that is what he previously claimed his actions areng exactly the opposite. this is a catastrophic decision with global implications.he stae house will be voting on legislation to the delivery of weapons to israel as they fight for radical terrorist defendant very existence as a nation. joe biden is threatening is suggesting he refuses to bring it to the senate floor. october 7, hamas the radical wr

iran lit fire and israel proverbial buyer is telling israel there only allowed to put out part of the fire. that is simply not going to work. his release to finish the job in america it needs to help distinguish the period wasn't he elimination is notnt biden doing that are biden and schumer have turned their back on israel but they c iran and its proxies. this is not complicat ver simple this is a moment we nd not just the american people but the entire world need to either either with israel or you not. if schumer refuses to bring it up for a vote he would be telling the world is part of the democrats are no longer willing to stand with our great ally. i don't think that is a positioe

american people but with that i yielded next republican majority leader steve scalise. >> think it mr. speaker. later today atse will be making a very historic and important vote that's whether or not we continue to stand with israel. whether we going to ensure the biden administration follows through on their promise to deliver the weapons that in many cases israel already paid for. many of t weapons holding back right now are weapons that israel paid four months a. in some cases things they paid for before hamas actually invaded israel. ghhe are at war whether president biden co understands the severity of the war or not the people in surely do the duly elected leadership in

israel understands they are in a war that they have to wind. a terro organization. which is funded and supported by iran president biden i the ability for israel to defend themselves iran fire over 300 hamas where is president biden g ow a tunnels under gaza. a supporting hamas position when this passes with the bipartisan vote today through the house tho

large chuck schumer will have to take this bill u if this bill does pass the senate, like some bills that president biden threatened to veto he ultimately sdf9■ because the public finally had enough. s o of those cases. this is a time for choosing as a speaker said the choice is very ea right now there is a war going on between israel and hamas. if you are not supporting israel you are supporting a terrorist organization. when president biden s h wants to hold back on the arms sales he is holding on israel's ability to go and fight a war against hamas. the only other person who wantse it is hamas. why would president biden choose that side? today on the house of floor evme o congress is going to have the opportunity to

make t cthisouse majority leadep on the republican side is been crystal clearro beginning. we suppor and the right to self-defense they are under attack from a terrorist organization that will defend themselves. have a right to defend themselves have our support and that right to self-de we will have israel's back will see who else does when thees lad the bill to chuck schumer he's have to make a decision he can give hot air in rhetoric today whentesver in the senate there's going to be a lot of other people that's going to have a say in whether or not he sits on that bill insides with hamas o ss israel. but that i want to bring up our whip. >> one month ago on april 13 we stand with israel and itseoe

and the united states will do everything we can to support israel's defense against." the following day he said the u.s. commitment to israel's cu ironclad." flash forward to itte senator schumer said he will block our bill president biden to send military aid to israel. where is your support now, senato was it lipservice or do we need buy you a new dictionary purposely holding resources more precious dollars is not an ironclad commitment aiding and abet b terrorists moral of the story do not

believe them. actions kn words and support our strongest ally in the middle east. meanwhile the world is watching. iran and its proxies are taking will not let up on ensure israee resourceso end hamas once and for all. but that all turned over t conference chair elise stefanik. >>in whi just a comment on the breaking news this morning. continue to see unprecedented illegal law fair for the sham alvin bragg trial and your city or weaponize d.o.j. disregarded over 250 years of

constitutional executive to obtain presidential records that presidenru alled to have under the presidential records act. now biden is hiding behind executive privilege to prevent the americanub hearing how he knowingly mishandled classified intelligence for personal financial gain. on israel and the lack of leadership or sink in the democrat party led by joe biden and chuck schumer is disgraceful. they have turned their backs on supporting our mos precious ally, israel, and a time existenial nee f instead choosing to placate the far left democrat radicals who are nthe r party.schumer, time and time agn vehemently blocked our israel aid package publicly rebuked prime minister netanyahu that leader of an at war. meanwhile joe biden has sent everything in his per to give

iran and its terrorist proxies the green light to escalate attack, withholding critical aid but pressuring israel to surrender at every opportunity joe biden has failed to support israel. under joe biden adversaries no longer fear us and our allies us. if joe biden wanted to ensure israel dend itself, he would yet he refuses. will judge for failure and history jge joe biden for the failure as well house or hoe republicans will not be we'll put this legislation on the floor this week will put president trump back in the white house, grow our majority protect the senate and take out togetherrepublic w stand with israel and its right to exist up or i'm proud to turn it back over to the speaker of the house mike johnson. >> will take a few questions if you have any. yes, ma'am. >> if you had any conversnsrega?

and if senator schumer refuses to bring it up how do you further this act? >> witness at the outset we have broad bipartisan support i believe in house. ortly.l affirm that again here this should not be a partisan issue it shamefullyas become that. we have to stand with our closest ally, israel did the oncy i the middle east. one of our closest friends and not ttant alley that we have for strategic reons all the stand withother israel. that is always been our position this you see happening now is a brazen political decision by the president of the united states and by ler bause they are clearly making this decision to appeal to a small subset, and elements in their their pc iran criticizing

israel. now they're trying to appease a radical of pro- hamas supporters and their party. d it is affecting the stability to the entire world that's why the calling this out they want to point to see it f s nowhere to hide from us. as we noted, predent himself and leader schumer both within the last several weeks were saying we should with israel. the reason the right language. another doing a completeut face. they have a new polling that said they st's only possible explanation for this. it is unconscionable to >> the full house will approve th given contempt given the executive privilege ay >> we will see how that develops. one issue at a time. yes, over here. >> democrat said this whatyour ?

>> that is a dressing to try to give political cover. thosre alrdy determined a long time ago. sed the aid package less than three weeks ago. they are defying the will of congress but this is an overwhelming vote on this floor as you saw. the support for is or was ould see exactly wheree votes so everyone was. does a very clear messagehe white house, to the senate and to the american people now the anding in the way of the will of the people that was done here through their duly elected representatives. somhing everyone should be calling out yes, ma'am for going to talk up bipartisan support in t hou republican support in the senate what about this bill will change the democrat support? >> we aoi find out right where the reasons for calling this out as we think the american people should be the senators over there

democrat senators beginning with leader schumer letting himnoey . i think public opinion is o t side of israel we certainly note the rise in anti-semitism that we are sitting in the country mobs on the college campuses and all this other movement. befe and i'll close again this is a time for the prident of the united states to stand out, looked directly into the cameras and call it good, good and evil, evil we need clarity when he convictn of any consistency from the white house and we are not getting it. that is why all these problems continue toesident to take that action calling on chuck schumer to put this bill we sent it over there and let the senate vote it's what with that and we t
