These cuts are real. They are measurable. This is what the American people need to know, something that is accountable. This puts in place a 10-year budget. The United States Senate, under Harry Reid's leadership, has not had a budget in 3 years. There's no end to their spending without a budget. American families have budgets. Why doesn't the U.S. Senate? So this bill puts in accountability, 10 years' worth of accountability. It puts in controls in spending, across-the-board triggers. And finally, it has cuts to it. Again, Madam Speaker, American families have had to tighten their belts. Washington must do the same thing, and that's what we're doing here today. I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this legislation and ``yes'' on the rule.

I think there's going to be a real interesting back-story here because if I'm the president right now I'm talking to John Kelly and saying, tell me what you knew, who kept this information from you if you did not know.

I want to point out on Israel and that, you know, that bothered me, but Israel's never had a better friend in the White House, and I think you get that from Israel.

I think that this story about the uranium sales to Russia and the potential payoffs almost at the same time to the Clinton Foundation, I think that's scary as heck.

I think the president at this point, he's realizing what the American people are realizing, is that this investigation is leading to nowhere, and it probably should be wrapped up very soon.
