Steve Scalise

I want to start by first congratulating Vice President Vance, Secretary Rubio, Undersecretary Helberg, Stanford University, and all the university and business leaders who have worked so hard to make Foundry School possible.

Bottom line is President Trump ensured with the Ratepayer Protection Pledge that every data center is going to have to pay their own way as far as the rates go on utilities.

If you want them in your community. And by the way, there are a lot of communities that do want them.

That's what the socialist agenda will get you. And by the way, that is on the ballot this November.

Somebody has to pay for it. And all the people that pay for it are leaving New York.

If you say yes to it, there are really good benefits that come.

And so what you end up with is higher costs, higher inflation. That's what the socialist agenda will get you.

It goes back to the old Margaret Thatcher saying, socialism ultimately fails because you eventually run out of other people's money.

We have almost 600 bills that have been passed out of the House.

We want to get a longer-term deal, but at a minimum, let's ensure that we can continue to see government properly funded and functioning.

Not only do we denounce socialism, but also the idea of people that aren't American citizens voting in our elections, because that's part of their platform.

But if this place is so bad, who is that place they aspire us to be? I think that's a fair question to ask because it'll also tell you everything you need to know about them.

I think it's critical we protect the sanctity of every American's right to vote. And if somebody else is stealing your vote because they're voting illegally, thousands in New Jersey, then it takes away your right to vote.

They get up here and they start voting against the wishes of the American people over and over and over again. And why? Not just to defend fraudsters.

And then we get to today where we say, shouldn't we make sure our men and women in uniform have the tools they need to do their job safely? Shouldn't we make sure that our farmers get the relief they need so we can keep working to lower…

Over and over again, we see nothing but obstruction from Democrats. It's sad to say. It's sad to see. The American people are watching a party that has become a rudderless ship running off the left edge, socialists taking over.

It is common sense versus crazy.

A lot of the economic indicators are getting better, but they're not where we want them to be, Brian.

What President Trump has done is he's shown patience. You had the 60-day ceasefire, but every step of the way, you see Iran violating all the terms of that.

We've got seats in Texas and Ohio and Florida — so many other places where we have an opportunity to flip seats from Democrat to Republican because people are rejecting this crazy extreme socialism on the left.

Defunding prisons? Where are those prisoners gonna go? You know, are they going to take them in their house? This is insane.

These are tough members. And these are members who have been working with President Trump to make life more affordable for families all across America, running against socialists.

Democrats aren't even being shy about it. They're telling you what they would do. I mean, they'll impeach the president day one.

The Senate shouldn’t allow these groups to stand in the way any longer. It’s time to get this important permitting reform to President Trump’s desk.

The American people gave Republicans this mandate because they wanted us to cut red tape in Washington and get America building again.
