Said we are being told the only alternative to this bad deal, speaking about the deal on iran is war. That is just not true. The alternative to this bad deal is just a better deal. Every one ever our republicans stood up when he said that. But today we are being told by our leadership that the only alternative to this bad deal is a government shutdown. That is not true. The alternative to this bad deal today is a better deal. It is to force the senate to actually go to conference so both the house and senate can speak the will of the American People. With that i yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back. The gentleman from kentucky is recognized. Mr. Massie mr. Speaker, i yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from virginia, mr. Brat. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from virginia is recognized for one minute. Mr. Wrath mr. Brat thank you very much. I think everyone in this body knows what it means to run for office. We each represent 700,000 people. W
Work and having been abandoned by both her parents and paternal grandparents never got to go to college but had a spark of resilience that kept her going and gave her the capacity to create a family filled with love and support. When i hear stories like hers and others i nodded my head and i saw a lot of others because just as she had another whose voice echoes in her head, so did i. And how fortunate i was and how we want it to be the experience of all of our children along like this way you get a chance to make millions of decisions. Some of them are big like to you run for office . Others are even bigger like the ones that are wonderful husband mark confronted like what do you do when a murderer a taxi that you survive how do you put that gift to work . Shes one of the bravest women and men that i know and they are making such a difference.

Agreement that will prevent a nucleararmed iran. Next, i would like to introduce one of the icons of congress, john lewis of georgia. Thank you very much. In this congress, i take a back seat to no one in my commitment or support of israel and the American Jewish community. On many occasions we have worked side by side to strengthen our democracy and fight for equality and justice in this country. The commitment will not change. We are consistently throughout my career for longterm peace in the middle east, a secured jewish state and fight against antisemitism and hate on american shores and abroad. However this nation is currently involved in ongoing negotiations with iran. Election in israel just about two weeks away on march 17. The speaker of the house of representatives would allow the floor of this chamber to be used to neglect the negotiations of the president of the United States is partisan and not right. Several ambassadors as well as the leader of jewish organizations called
It is the duty of our government to do things for people that they cannot do themselves. The rich can do for themselves. The poor people cannot. Ill hang up and listen. Host lets go to curtis dubay. Guest we keep hearing about infrastructure investment. But the way we do that is federal gaps. The 65 cents of every dollar raised for the federal gas tax actually goes to roads and bridges and highways. The rest of it goes to things that are not supposed to be funded by the attacks. Sustainability projects, bike paths, roadside museums. I would much rather see us spending all of the money on infrastructure and then come back in five or 10 years and say, well, maybe then. We are spending the money on infrastructure. It is a weak argument. Host lets go to laura. Caller i have two comments to make. The first is, the bush tax cut entitlements were supposed to be temporary. I remember when they were argued, and as far as im concerned, republicans live at that time. They never intended it to be
After a hardwon reelection fight, its been a highstakes return to the business of governing for the president of the United States. Today he hosted congressional leaders at the white house to begin working on what he called the urgent business of reaching an agreement on taxes and spending cuts by the end of next month. This afternoon the president greeted a diverse range of Civic Leaders at the white house and, of course, hes preparing for his impending tour of Southeast Asia which begins at the week end. So thats whats been going on at the white house. Or is it . The president of the United States did not tell the American People the truth about the attacks that took four brave americans lives. The president himself has intentionally misinformed, read that lied, to the American People in the aftermath of this tragedy. This is not simply a coverup of a third rate burglary. We have four of our diplomatic personnel dead. This widespread coverup in fact continues today. What altered thei
