He says he\u2019s going to ask for another $70 billion to fight this unnecessary and failing war. We resolved\u2026the fact that we can stop Iran from having a nuclear weapon when Barack Obama was president and negotiated a treaty. Right now, we don\u2019t know if they\u2019ve moved the enriched uranium outside the place where it was buried underneath a mountain or not. I suspect they might have.\n\n\u201cSo it\u2019s a failed war. I\u2019ll be willing to vote for a bill that has $70 billion in it when President Trump pays his share by paying his taxes on the $2.2 billion he earned last year mostly in crypto which cost people who bought crypto a billion dollars; that\u2019s what they lost. When Trump pays his share, I\u2019ll pay my share, and vote for it. But I won\u2019t vote for it otherwise. President Trump: Bring your chips to the table.\u201d\n\nSee the entire speech here.\n\n# # #", 1, "2026-07-23T07:31:02Z", "2026-07-23T07:32:26Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://cohen.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-cohen-says-congress-shouldnt-give-70-billion-more-failed"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.850290060043335, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
