Jim Banks (R-Ind.): \u201cIt\u2019s the combination of the full force of the American Military making Iran pay for their actions. Their sneak attack last night was fortunately unsuccessful, but they will pay the price for it. Then that combined with President Trump using the maximum pressure of going back to the blockades and preventing oil from flowing out of Iran and cutting off their supply of money. There will be hell to pay in Iran. President Trump made that very clear today.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe supplemental bill, the reconciliation bill to fund our military, that gives President Trump the strongest hand to fund our military, to fund our troops, replenish our munitions stockpiles, give our military every resource that they need and that the Pentagon is asking for so that the military can finish the job that\u2019s an important piece of this puzzle too.\u201d\n\nKey Excerpts on Republican agenda:\n\n\u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s important, fund the military swiftly, finish the job in Iran, gas prices will go down, inflation will go down, and cost of living will be substantially lower for working class families that\u2019s president Trumps mission, that\u2019s my mission, but it starts with funding the military and that\u2019s this reconciliation, that includes by the way the SAVE America Act which is great policy, its great politics and if we don\u2019t pass it the politics are going to be really bad for us at the ballot box in the midterm election.\u201d\n\nKey Excerpts on canceling August recess to pass the SAVE America Act:\n\n\u201cNo vacation, no recess. There is a growing chorus; I think a third of Republicans in the Senate have said this out loud: no recess, pass the SAVE America Act that\u2019s what our voters expect us to do. The voter ID SAVE America Act is an 80/20 issue; this is a winning issue for republicans and it\u2019s the right thing to do.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe biggest news in the last week was the Democrat Governor in New Jersey admitting out loud that 6,600 illegals were placed on the voter rolls in New Jersey and hundreds of them voted in the 2023 and 2024 elections in New Jersey. American elections should only be for Americans. I don\u2019t know if there has been a better reason I\u2019ve seen yet than that to pass the SAVE America Act and to pass it right now.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-31T07:49:23Z", "2026-07-31T07:50:48Z"]], "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://www.banks.senate.gov/news/press-releases/icymi-sen-banks-joins-kudlow-on-fox-business-network/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8406066335737705, "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"}
