  HR260A Bill to require a strategy to oppose financial or
• 0:13
  material support by foreign countries and non governmental
• 0:17
  organizations to the Taliban and for the purposes.
• 0:21
  The chair recognizes the gentleman from Tennessee.
• 0:24
  Mr. Speaker, we must spend send a very strong message that the
• 0:27
  United States will no longer tolerate sending U.S. tax
• 0:30
  dollars to terrorist organizations in Afghanistan and
• 0:33
  across the Middle East. Those in favor say aye.
• 0:36
  I'd. Like to thank my dear friend
• 0:38
  Sean Ryan from Middle Tennessee, former Navy SEAL.
• 0:41
  He brought this to my attention. And my good friend Legend is an
• 0:44
  Afghan that fought for America and he's my friend.
• 0:47
  In the opinion of the Chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the
• 0:50
  rules are suspended, The bill is passed.
• 0:53
  We got Scott Mann, Sarah Adams and Legend.
• 0:57
  We'll be talking about where some of the stuff is in
• 1:01
  Afghanistan and the federal government when it comes to
• 1:04
  funding the Taliban. And it's like I said, it's your
• 1:07
  tax dollars. It's your tax dollars going to
• 1:11
  the very individuals who killed hundreds and thousands of
• 1:14
  American soldiers, injured so many Americans, killed hundreds
• 1:18
  of thousands of Afghans, and right now they're hosting al
• 1:21
  Qaeda and ISIS and everyone else who are planning to attack you
• 1:24
  again, and you're funding it. This got taken to Sean Wright
• 1:39
  and Legend and we figured out that we've got a lot bigger
• 1:42
  problems on our hands. Sean and Legend brought to our
• 1:46
  attention at least 40, $1,000,000 per week per week,
• 1:50
  $40 million per week in taxpayer money is ending up in the hands
• 1:54
  of the Taliban. And then it's later being
• 1:57
  auctioned off. Cash is flown by charter jets in
• 2:00
  Afghanistan. It's auctioned off to the
• 2:02
  Taliban in order to exchange it for the Afghan currency.
• 2:07
  The Taliban is the current reigning government and has
• 2:10
  current control over Afghanistan.
• 2:12
  To find out that $40 million in cash payments per week are being
• 2:18
  delivered to the Taliban is an outrage that the American people
• 2:23
  will not tolerate. They will not stand for.
• 2:25
  Recently we learned what many of us had already known and that is
• 2:29
  that billions of American taxpayer dollars were being
• 2:32
  funneled to spread anti American sentiment across the world and
• 2:37
  fund terrorism. Given our roughly $37 trillion
• 2:40
  of debt and $2 trillion annual deficit, the arrogance and greed
• 2:45
  and foolishness coming out of this town is absolutely
• 2:48
  astounding. On top of the billions of tax
• 2:51
  dollars shelled out to USAID, Representative Burchett, Sean
• 2:56
  Ryan, and others, including our friend Legend over here today,
• 3:02
  highlighted that the Biden State Department sent millions of your
• 3:05
  tax dollars to the Taliban. As someone who has served our
• 3:10
  nation overseas and fought to defend liberties and freedoms
• 3:14
  that we cherish, it's disgraceful that the Biden
• 3:17
  administration sent our resources to our enemies on the
• 3:21
  battlefield. People often say that the United
• 3:23
  States funds both sides of every conflict.
• 3:27
  Under the Biden administration, Those assertions are absolutely
• 3:30
  true. We really started a conversation
• 3:35
  here with the three of you guys about that.
• 3:38
  Tim Bircher got involved. Eli Crane got involved.
• 3:42
  I talked to Tim. Tim Sheehy, the senator out of
• 3:44
  Montana. He's aware of it.
• 3:46
  He was introducing it into the Senate.
• 3:48
  And what what's the headway on this?
• 3:50
  This has to be an act of Congress.
• 3:52
  This has to be No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act.
• 3:54
  It's a very good bill and it's just waiting for Senator John
• 3:58
  Thune to put it off for. A vote the president has issued
• 4:01
  an order, which we have followed, to suspend any aid
• 4:04
  that could possibly reach the hands of the Taliban.
• 4:06
  Essentially funneling cash straight into the Taliban's
• 4:08
  pockets. 40 million in. Cash.
• 4:10
  We're still actually giving 40 million a week to the Taliban. 3
• 4:13
  billion plus dollars going over to the Taliban government.
• 4:17
  Is sending. Taxpayer.
• 4:19
  Dollars, terrorists that we've fought for. 20 years.
• 4:22
  Your hard earned tax dollars ended up in the.
• 4:25
  Hands of terrorists, What do they do with that 40?
• 4:28
  $1,000,000. Everywhere.
• 4:29
  Well, let me tell. You this.
• 4:30
  Is what legends should the American people approve?
• 4:33
  Or not approve this sending $40 million Taliban is taxpayer fund
• 4:37
  we're giving. 10s of millions of dollars a week to the.
• 4:40
  Taliban sending. Money to.
• 4:42
  Terrorist groups.
