First, I want to talk to my Republican colleagues.
00:00:04.480
It's important that we understand that the American people don't expect us to win every time,
00:00:08.940
but they sure as hell expect us to fight, and that's not what we're doing.
00:00:14.160
We should not be fighting for this. This is garbage.
00:00:17.220
The next thing I want to address real quick is to the American people,
00:00:23.100
and make sure when they come back to your hometown in your district
00:00:26.740
and they talk to you at your next Lincoln Day dinner,
00:00:30.000
about fiscal responsibility, securing the border.
00:00:33.160
If they voted for this, let them hear about it.
00:00:42.460
I don't speak. I reserve the balance of my time.
00:00:57.060
The gentleman from Florida a moment ago talked about the fact
00:00:59.760
that we defund UNRWA and we defund some policies that are pernicious.
00:01:04.760
It's a part of the process that we carried out last year when we set out to change this institution
00:01:08.500
to return to some sort of regular order, to have 72 hours to read bills,
00:01:18.740
We passed seven appropriations bills off of the floor of the House.
00:01:34.140
And we went back to business as usual in the swamp,
00:01:36.740
where a handful of people that they call four corners
00:01:47.420
The same group that I heard guffawing in the back a minute ago.
00:01:53.080
that think they're the ones that get to control the entire world
00:01:58.120
as an excuse to undermine the national security of this country
00:02:04.000
by racking up debt to the tune of a trillion dollars every 100 days,
00:02:07.760
while funding all manners of sins with respect to transgender surgeries,
00:02:13.420
funding the World Health Organization to give away our sovereignty,
00:02:20.540
Everybody who votes for this bill today, you own it.
00:02:25.200
Don't go out and campaign this year saying you oppose this stuff
00:02:33.460
every single Democrat who votes for this omnibus spending bill today,
00:02:47.020
to World Health Organization and international bodies.
00:03:12.860
Don't let the hundred or so that are going to vote to get this to the floor,
00:03:16.200
do not let them come back to your district and lie to you.
00:03:18.500
If they vote for this, they're voting against you.
00:03:23.000
They're voting against the United States of America,
00:03:30.180
Dave, all the sustainability crap you talk about,
00:03:38.020
This is one of the reasons we're having a $2.5 trillion deficit this year
00:03:44.840
But I want to get in here while I've got some time with you
00:03:47.640
before I get records up and bring Dave Brat back.
00:03:51.420
One of the most radical things I've seen in an industrial economy
00:03:55.400
was done by Joe Biden this week on electric vehicles,
00:04:01.280
Talk to me about it because this is going to have this budget
00:04:04.040
and this spending coupled with what their industrial policy is
00:04:08.180
and what their energy policy is going to drive this country
00:04:17.860
You know, the administration is reeling from demand for EVs is languishing.
00:04:23.140
We've had all the major producers now cut back their investment plans
00:04:28.980
GM, BMW, Mercedes, all of them cutting back their investment plans
00:04:36.660
Looks like about 7, 7.5% of new car sales this year will be EVs only.
00:04:45.440
and that is through the EPA make it impossible for people
00:04:52.220
by mandating the most aggressive tailpipe emission standards possible
00:04:56.880
to make it costly as could be to buy gas-powered vehicles.
00:05:02.720
So this week the EPA came out with its final regulations
00:05:07.840
with the goal and objective of limiting creating 56% of new car sales
00:05:18.280
So they've shaped environmental policy, the EPA,
00:05:27.620
which is the arena they're supposed to be playing in.
00:05:30.580
And if you look at A.G. Patrick Morrissey from West Virginia,
00:05:33.600
SCOTUS victory last year on the Clean Power Plan,
00:05:39.060
that was about overreach of the EPA getting way beyond its mission goal
00:05:46.220
to shut coal plants down on the Clean Power Plan.
00:05:49.500
Well, here they're doing the same thing with the tailpipe emissions
00:05:52.120
to make it more and more commercially and economically infeasible
00:05:57.360
for Americans to afford to buy gas-powered vehicles.
00:06:05.620
which patently runs against SCOTUS ruling on the Clean Power Plan.
00:06:10.360
This would have us convert 56% of new car buys,
00:06:40.580
They can't sell them because they're a third of the price.
00:06:43.700
This is another example of the puppets in Washington
00:06:47.020
bailing out the lords of easy money on Wall Street
00:07:06.040
No, the incentives aren't working on these vehicles.
00:07:15.680
Therefore, they're going to draconian penalties
00:07:20.320
No, they're doing nothing about all-in energy supply.
00:07:28.340
aren't keeping up with the Paris Climate Accords
00:08:49.960
They're going to go through the vote right now,
