On the recordDecember 4, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to address a critical moment in our Nation's history. The Biden-Harris administration's policies have severely weakened our country, putting the American people at risk. From the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of 13 servicemembers and arming the Taliban with our equipment, to compromising our allies' energy security by waiving sanctions on Nord Stream 2, this administration has consistently failed the American people. Allowing $6 billion to flow to Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism, is both reckless and dangerous. Simultaneously, we see China continuing its human rights abuses while our Nation grows increasingly dependent on its supply chains. At home, we have seen a Chinese spy balloon surveil sensitive military sites, a border crisis that continues to spiral out of control, and a fentanyl epidemic devastating our communities. Working with the incoming Trump administration, House Republicans are ready to lead. We will secure our borders, restore energy independence, and prioritize America in foreign policy. We will protect American jobs and combat the inflation that is squeezing hardworking families. As we enter the 119th Congress, I look forward to working with my colleagues to reverse the damage done by the Biden-Harris administration and get our country back on track for the American people and our future. ____________________
