SCIUTTO As you know ░░░░░░░░ was already a supplemental ░░░░░░░░ by the Senate with ░░░░░░░░ support which includes aid ░░░░░░░░ only for Israel but ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine and Taiwan which ░░░░░░░░ brought to the floor ░░░░░░░░ all accounts would pass ░░░░░░░░ The quickest way to ░░░░░░░░ aid to Israel but ░░░░░░░░ to Ukraine and Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ that would happen would ░░░░░░░░ vote for it Would ░░░░░░░░ vote for that supplemental ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ I want aid for ░░░░░░░░ I want aid for ░░░░░░░░ I want aid for ░░░░░░░░ and I also want ░░░░░░░░ security I d rather ░░░░░░░░ those put to me ░░░░░░░░ I want to see ░░░░░░░░ everybody stand There are ░░░░░░░░ in that aid package ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ I think we could ░░░░░░░░ do the same have ░░░░░░░░ same impact without spending ░░░░░░░░ much money I want ░░░░░░░░ do military aid And ░░░░░░░░ s billions of dollars ░░░░░░░░ other stuff in there ░░░░░░░░ I really have no ░░░░░░░░ for So at this ░░░░░░░░ I d rather see ░░░░░░░░ I look forward this ░░░░░░░░ to our speaker putting ░░░░░░░░ aid package together for ░░░░░░░░ but also we ll ░░░░░░░░ encouraging him to put ░░░░░░░░ aid package a military ░░░░░░░░ package for Ukraine Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ then also add another ░░░░░░░░ to try to control ░░░░░░░░ border SCIUTTO Given though ░░░░░░░░ as you know if ░░░░░░░░ would happen if it ░░░░░░░░ to be separated out ░░░░░░░░ parceled out it would ░░░░░░░░ to then go back ░░░░░░░░ the Senate If these ░░░░░░░░ urgent needs not just ░░░░░░░░ Israel but for Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ not take the most ░░░░░░░░ path to getting that ░░░░░░░░ across the finish line ░░░░░░░░ I mean we can ░░░░░░░░ this next week and ░░░░░░░░ it to the Senate ░░░░░░░░ can take it up ░░░░░░░░ week also So I ░░░░░░░░ you know this goes ░░░░░░░░ ways this urgency And ░░░░░░░░ again I ve been ░░░░░░░░ the speaker for some ░░░░░░░░ to put the Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ Israel on as separate ░░░░░░░░ and let s go ░░░░░░░░ s time that we ░░░░░░░░ to help our allies ░░░░░░░░ these attacks this yesterday ░░░░░░░░ show how much we ░░░░░░░░ actually need to help ░░░░░░░░ allies especially Israel and ░░░░░░░░ And so that s ░░░░░░░░ I would like to ░░░░░░░░ Now some of my ░░░░░░░░ would like to see ░░░░░░░░ bigger package a different ░░░░░░░░ than the Senate side ░░░░░░░░ I think the Senate ░░░░░░░░ has issues that will ░░░░░░░░ difficulty in passing I ░░░░░░░░ Congress at this time ░░░░░░░░ As you know you ░░░░░░░░ Republican colleagues in the ░░░░░░░░ who are threatening the ░░░░░░░░ if he attempts to ░░░░░░░░ any aid for Ukraine ░░░░░░░░ the floor Marjorie Taylor ░░░░░░░░ I ll name her ░░░░░░░░ make a motion to ░░░░░░░░ a risk for the ░░░░░░░░ What would you do ░░░░░░░░ that case GIMENEZ I ░░░░░░░░ do look I would ░░░░░░░░ exactly what I did ░░░░░░░░ I was mayor of ░░░░░░░░ Dade County just do ░░░░░░░░ right thing Okay And ░░░░░░░░ let the chips fall ░░░░░░░░ they may but you ░░░░░░░░ to do the right ░░░░░░░░ SCIUTTO What is the ░░░░░░░░ thing Would you vote ░░░░░░░░ remove the speaker GIMENEZ ░░░░░░░░ Heck no No I ░░░░░░░░ Mike Johnson I think ░░░░░░░░ s a good speaker ░░░░░░░░ he s an honest ░░░░░░░░ He s a good ░░░░░░░░ No I think that ░░░░░░░░ my estimation the right ░░░░░░░░ is put forward these ░░░░░░░░ packages to Ukraine Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ okay And let the ░░░░░░░░ fall where they may ░░░░░░░░ that See who else ░░░░░░░░ for it see who ░░░░░░░░ against it and then ░░░░░░░░ that off to the ░░░░░░░░ Israel needs an aid ░░░░░░░░ right now So does ░░░░░░░░ They re running out ░░░░░░░░ bullets And the last ░░░░░░░░ I want to see ░░░░░░░░ Russian tanks rolling into ░░░░░░░░ okay And so we ░░░░░░░░ that also So yeah ░░░░░░░░ advice to the speaker ░░░░░░░░ do the right thing ░░░░░░░░ I think in the ░░░░░░░░ things will work out ░░░░░░░░ you.”
