00:00For what purpose does the gentleman from South Carolina seek recognition?
00:09Without objection, the gentleman from South Carolina is recognized for one minute.
00:13Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Houthi rebels are still a murderous puppet of Iran,
00:18the foremost state sponsor of terrorism in the world. After the December collapse of the murderous
00:23Assad regime in Syria, where he fled to Moscow, the Tehran regime retains two co-conspirators,
00:31Yemen and Iraq, both supported by terrorist militias armed by war criminal Putin. Sadly,
00:37Houthi terrorists have been gaining ground in Yemen and are possibly taking over oil fields,
00:42which would provide them resources to support terrorism. The Houthi rebels are armed by war
00:51criminal Putin and will be stopped. I'm grateful that just days after President Donald Trump took
00:57office, he designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization, as Houthis have attacked
01:03American ships. I am encouraged the Trump administration is working with our regional
01:08partners, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman to stop Houthi aggression. In conclusion,
01:14God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Open borders for dictators puts all
01:19Americans at risk of more 9-11 attacks imminent, as warned by the FBI. Trump is reinstituting
01:26existing laws to protect American families with peace through strength. I yield back.
01:30For what purposes, gentlewoman from Oregon, safe recognition?
01:36Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to address the House for one minute and to revise it.
01:40You are recognized.
01:42Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I agree more, Mr. Speaker.
