                         AMERICA, PAY ATTENTION

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, America must pay attention. Here is a recent 
photo taken in Iran of dictator Ayatollah Khamenei's defense chieftain, 
Mohammad Bagheri, with Russian dictator Putin's top Russian General 
Shoigu.
  It is clear what these warlords were up to, meeting to collude on 
weapons of war. Yes, these two dictators are conspiring and warring 
against liberty for Ukraine, Israel, and adjoining nations in the 
Middle East. Make no mistake, these overlords want to extend their 
spider web of tyranny across Ukraine, the Middle East, and beyond.
  Ukraine is fighting valiantly to push Russia out of its country to 
join the West in the European confederation of free nations.
  Meanwhile, Houthi terrorists, supported by Iran, are blocking passage 
of trade through the Red Sea and Strait of Hormuz, impacting global 
supply chains and raising prices.
  In addition, 140,000 of Iran's Hezbollah mercenaries are ensconced in 
southern Lebanon, raining down rockets into Israel. Hamas terrorists in 
Gaza find allies in these terrorist regimes.
  Speaker Johnson needs to support liberty and blunt terrorism and 
tyranny. He should move to the floor the national security supplemental 
aid bill. Support freedom, not terrorism and tyranny.
