Speaker Kevin McCarthy

"There's a police shortage in communities across America, but rather than fix this problem radical Democrats have responded by introducing even more anti-police policies. "Enough is enough. "House Republicans just voted to nullify the most anti-police policy to ever be jammed through the D.C. City Council. "The vast majority of Democrats voted against law enforcement and in favor of soft on-crime policies but now more than ever we need to send a clear message America backs the blue. "The House has acted. "The Senate must now take up the bill and then President Biden should stand with our law enforcement and sign it into law."

Democrats have had 2 years to fix the border crisis they created. But they still have no plan. So today, Republicans are passing the strongest border security bill America has ever seen.

To the men and women of law enforcement—thank you for keeping us safe. You don’t hear this enough, but this nation is not only grateful for you, we are better off because of you.

This bipartisan delegation stands today not only as American Congressional members, but as true friends of Israel. America is grateful for our friendship with Israel. We are a better nation because of it. And we must never shy away from defending it.

For three quarters of a century, the state of Israel has been a beacon of freedom, progress, and democracy. After 75 years of friendship between the United States and Israel, I know this to be true: the best days for Israel—and our unbreakable bond—are ahead of us.

Nearly 20% of Giant Sequoias have been lost to catastrophic wildfires, exacerbated by overreaching regulations and improper forest management. This Arbor Day, join us for a bipartisan Conservation Conversation on how our bill, the Save Our Sequoias Act, can protect these trees.

Today marks the seventh address of a joint meeting of Congress by a President of the Republic of Korea.

It’s an honor to welcome the President of South Korea to the Capitol. Our republics must stand together always. Today’s joint meeting is a historic step in strengthening our alliance even further.

President Biden—continuing to ignore our nation's debt crisis is not an option. It is well past time for you to come to the table to negotiate.

The Senate has done nothing. The President has done nothing. The House will lift the debt ceiling and limit the growth of Washington spending.

For years, we’ve been locked in a competition against China. We’re competing, seeing who can be faster and stronger. The problem is it’s an unfair fight. Think of it like a swim meet. We used to blow the competition out of the water. But now, we’re swimming with weights attached to us, and it’s slowing us down, and giving China a chance to catch up. The weight holding us back is our debt. It’s dragging us down and giving the Chinese Communist Party – one of the largest owners of our debt - a competitive advantage, which they will use to surpass us as we drown in the deep end. Here’s my suggestion: Let’s stop swimming with so much extra weight. If we don't act now to rein in our spending and national debt in a responsible way, we'll never recover. America will always win in a fair fight. So let's make it fair. Let's win.

I’m worried about how the President is handling the debt ceiling. By ignoring it, he is walking us into the first default in our nation’s history. We have a responsibility to act for future generations—before it’s too late.

This bill is simple. It says that only women can compete in women’s sports. This will allow women and girls to compete on a level playing field they deserve – without the fear of being forced to compete against biological men.

The American people expect and deserve serious, sensible action to address our soaring national debt. Unfortunately, President Biden has avoided taking any action, even though he added $6 trillion to our nation’s debt burden in two years and presides over record inflation that continues to hurt families and small businesses. The President seems to have no interest in negotiating a responsible debt limit increase. What President Biden is demanding is irresponsible and cannot pass. President Biden’s reckless spending created record inflation, made us more dependent on China, and undermined Social Security and Medicare. We must address record spending now. If we don’t, America will be weaker and families will be worse off. Since President Biden continues to hide, House Republicans will take action. We will lift the debt limit into next year, limit federal spending, save taxpayers trillions of dollars, and grow our economy. This legislation will make us less dependent on China and curb high inflation, all without touching Social Security or Medicare - because no one is hurt more by inflation than seniors. We owe it to the American people to use this moment in history to deliver the future they want, need, and deserve. President Biden has a choice: come to the table and stop playing partisan political games or cover his ears, refuse to negotiate, and risk bumbling his way into the first default in our nation’s history.

Today is the 100-day mark of Republicans holding the majority in the House. And one thing is abundantly clear: the People’s House is a productive House again.

If you gave your child a credit card and they kept hitting the limit, you wouldn’t just raise their credit limit—you’d sit down with them and help them figure out where they could cut back on spending. 💳 💸 The same is true of our national debt. Now is the time for a responsible debt limit. Before it’s too late.

American natural gas is 41% cleaner than Russian natural gas. If we sell more natural gas around the world, global emissions would go down further than any Democrat plan out there. Why would President Biden want to veto that?

If you're not excited as an American—do you want to live somewhere else?

If we replaced Russian natural gas in Europe with American natural gas—for one year—we would dramatically lower global CO2 emissions. American energy gives us the power to protect our environment and make the world safer from our adversaries. Let's unleash our full potential.

Speaker McCarthy is honored to meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen as she transits the United States. At the Reagan library, there are countless exhibits that capture President Reagan’s patriotic spirit, belief in democracy, and commitment to the ideas of peace and freedom. Those values have always served as the bedrock of our friendship with the people of Taiwan. And they are more important now than ever before.  Taiwan is a successful democracy, thriving economy, and global leader in health and science. And whether it's our deep commercial ties, strong people-to-people relationships, or shared values, our cooperation with the people of Taiwan continues to expand through dialogue and exchange. The friendship between the people of Taiwan and America is a matter of profound importance to the free world and is critical to maintaining economic freedom, peace, and regional stability. We will honor our obligations and reiterate our commitment to our shared values, behind which all Americans are united.

Here at the Reagan Presidential Library, exhibits show Reagan’s belief in democracy and commitment to the ideas of peace and freedom. Those values serve as the bedrock of our friendship with the people of Taiwan. And they are more important now than ever before.
