00:00 For months America's national security interests have been put on hold.
00:07 And undermined by a group of extreme pro Putin Republicans who are determined to stop us from standing with our allies
00:24 across the world and in particular the Ukrainian people who have fought bravely and valiantly in defense of principles like
00:36 democracy freedom and truth. The time has come for the House of Representatives to act and act decisively in America's national
00:49 security interests. This is a. Churchill or Chamberlain moment. We can either confront Russian aggression in defense of
01:04 democracy. Or we can allow the pro Putin extreme mega Republicans to appease it. As events have shown. In modern world history
01:22 appeasement. Of aggression gets you nowhere. When this was tried. At the beginning. Of the events that precipitated World War 2.
01:38 It led to nothing but more than 100 million people.
01:45 Losing their lives or being seriously injured as a result. Of the events of the Second World War. We cannot repeat. That mistake.

02:16 zones all across. The world. And that's our intention. To get that done. Over the next few days. A yield to Democratic whip
02:27 Catherine Clark.
