About this sermon
A big win for new House Speaker Mike Johnson, as the House passed $14 billion in military aid for Israel. However, the victory may be short lived. The bill leaves out money for Ukraine and is far short of President Biden's more than $100 billion Comprehensive Aid Package that he and many lawmakers support. There were smiles all around as House Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team held their first news conference since his election last week. The speaker defended the Israel-only aid bill and his decision to cut IRS funding to pay for it. Representative Mike Johnson says, "If Democrats in the Senate, the House or anywhere else want to argue that hiring more IRS agents is more important than standing with Israel at this moment, I'm ready to have that debate." Some Senate lawmakers agree. The House bill is drawing fire from Senate Democrats. They want to link Israel and Ukraine aid together, and don't want to cut IRS funding. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer declared the bill dead on arrival.
