Debate on Immigration and Law Enforcement: Los Angeles Riots and Colorado Anti-Semitic Attack

This week, the House will vote to approve the White House's request to claw back $9.4 billion in wasteful spending. 8.3 billion of that is wasteful foreign aid with all the atrocities that Doge uncovered in USAID. And 1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That's PBS, NPR. These are common sense cuts. And I think every member of this body should support it. It's a critical step in restoring fiscal sanity and beginning to turn the tides of removing fraud, waste and abuse from our government. (21:36–21:41)
