00:00Thank you, Mr. President.
00:10For four years, the Biden
00:12administration allowed millions
00:14of illegal aliens into the
00:16United States, including the
00:18murderers of Lake and Riley, of
00:20Jocelyn and Gary, and Kayla
00:22Hamilton.
00:24Only 12 days ago, a Georgia
00:26mother of five was brutally
00:28murdered in 2021.
00:30The need to get dangerous,
00:32illegal aliens out of our
00:34communities is urgent.
00:36Under the Biden administration,
00:38our nation's adversaries became
00:40emboldened by the weak and
00:42incompetent leadership displayed
00:44in the Oval Office. The mission
00:46to restore America's military
00:48dominance and strength on the
00:50world stage has never been more
00:52urgent. Since 2017,
00:54Americans have enjoyed historic
00:56economic growth. In fact,
00:58the U.S. has implemented during
01:00President Trump's first term,
01:02which grew real wages by nearly
01:045%. The call to keep those cuts
01:06in place and prevent a tax hike
01:08of historic proportions is also
01:10urgent. The mandate to enact
01:12President Donald Trump's agenda
01:14is even more urgent. In
01:16November, 77 million Americans
01:18had a fire underneath them when
01:20they went to the polls and
01:22voted for real change.
01:24This is how Congress ought to
01:26light our own match and get
01:28moving. Dragging our feet on
01:30reconciliation is not an option.
01:32Failure is not an option,
01:34and for border security,
01:36not for national security,
01:38and not for the prosperity of
01:40everyday Americans. The Republican
01:42trifecta must continue to
01:44move in lockstep with urgency
01:46for the American people as we've
01:48already done in historic ways.
01:50The work ahead will not be easy,
01:52but we will get it done, and we
01:54will deliver on our
01:56America First agenda.
01:58Majority Leader.
