00:00Our reserve, Mr. Speaker.

00:02General Reserves. Gentleman from New York is recognized.

00:04Mr. Speaker, I now yield

00:06one minute to the distinguished

00:08gentleman from my home state of New York,

00:10Mr. Suozzi. Thank you,

00:12Mr. Chairman. Mr. Suozzi is recognized.

00:14Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr.

00:16Roy, the histrionics and the

00:18hyperbole are not working. You just said

00:20so yourself. It's not working.

00:22We're about to pass.

00:24It's not working.

00:26It's not working.

00:28The bottom line is

00:30The gentleman will suspend.

00:32House will be in order.

00:34The bottom line is

00:36that we face

00:38issues that are very serious

00:40in our country, including

00:42the border. There's a crisis there.

00:44And we

00:46have to address it by doing

00:48what we're doing today and tomorrow

00:50related to the foreign aid bill.

00:52We've got to work together.

00:54We have to find compromise. We have to

00:56find bipartisan solutions.

00:58Every problem we face in our country

01:00is complicated. And you cannot

01:02solve complicated problems in an

01:04environment of fear and anger.

01:06People have to sit down and work with each other.

01:08I know Mr. Moore is a very good man.

01:10There's a lot of good people

01:12on the Republican side as well as the Democratic

01:14side. Let's work together and solve these very

01:16serious issues we face in our country.

01:18We had a bipartisan solution by one of the

01:20most ethical, honest,

01:22hardworking, conservative

01:24Republicans in the United States Senate,

01:26James Lankford. And we didn't

01:28go forward with that bipartisan bill

01:30because President Trump and others said

01:32we don't want to give Biden a victory.

01:34We want to campaign on the chaos.

01:36Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman an additional

01:38minute. Thank you, Mr. Nadler.

01:40So they said we don't want to

01:42go forward with that bill because we want to campaign

01:44on the chaos.

01:46We don't want to give a victory to the

01:48Democrats. It's not a victory for Biden

01:50or for the Democrats. It's for the United States of America.

01:52And for us to move

01:54forward as a country,

01:56we have

01:58got to work together. I see the people up

02:00here in the gallery today, people watch television,

02:02they read the newspaper,

02:04and they're sick of this.

02:06They don't want us fighting with each other.

02:08They don't want us with the histrionics

02:10and the hyperbole.

02:12They want us to sit down

02:14and negotiate a settlement.

02:16H.R. 2 was tried

02:18before. It didn't work.

02:20Let's say you get everything you want.

02:22Let's say Trump gets elected.

02:24Let's say that you win the House, you win the Senate.

02:26I don't want that to happen,

02:28obviously, but let's say you get everything you want.

02:30You won't get enough votes in the Senate.

02:32You'll still have to negotiate

02:34a bipartisan compromise.

02:36People have got to

02:38learn to get back to the

02:40basics of legislating and negotiating

02:42and working together to solve

02:44the problems that the people of America demand that we solve.

02:46Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I yield back.

02:48Gentleman in the reserves.
