00:00 Mr. Tom Emmer.
00:06 One month ago, on April 13th, Senator Schumer tweeted, "We stand with Israel and its people,
00:13 and the United States will do everything we can to support Israel's defense against Iran."
00:21 The following day, he said, "The U.S. commitment to Israel's security is ironclad."
00:29 Flash forward to yesterday, when Senator Schumer said he will block our bill requiring President
00:35 Biden to send military aid to Israel.
00:40 Where is your support now, Senator?
00:44 Was it always just lip service, or do I need to buy you a new dictionary?
00:50 Because last I checked, purposely withholding resources from one of our most precious allies
00:56 when they're fighting for their very existence is not an ironclad commitment to their defense.
01:03 It's aiding and abetting barbaric terrorists whose sole mission is to wipe Israel off the
01:10 face of the planet.
01:12 Moral of the story?
01:13 When Joe Biden and the Democrats tell you that they support Israel, do not believe them.
01:19 Actions speak much louder than words, and their actions have shown that they would rather
01:24 stand in solidarity with terrorists than support our strongest ally in the Middle East.
01:31 Meanwhile, the world is watching.
01:34 Iran and its proxies are taking note.
01:37 But the American people and our allies can rest assured that House Republicans will not
01:42 let up on our mission to ensure Israel has the resources it needs to end Hamas once and
01:49 for all.
01:50 And with that, I'll turn it over to our conference chair, Elise Stefanik.
