Transkript 0:00 House Republicans pushed through a 0:01 massive defense spending bill today with 0:03 voter ID requirements and a stock 0:05 trading ban attached. The National 0:07 Defense Authorization Act cleared the 0:08 house on a largely party line vote 0:11 carrying several controversial writers 0:12 that Democrats are already calling 0:14 poison pills. The 1.15 trillion dollar 0:17 NDAA includes the Save America Act a 0:20 voter ID requirement for federal 0:22 elections fused directly into the 0:23 defense bill. 0:25 Speaker Mike Johnson framed the package 0:27 as delivering on core promises 0:29 strengthening the military securing 0:31 elections and holding Congress 0:32 accountable on stock trading. 0:40 The rule vote to advance the package 0:41 passed by the narrowest of margins 214 0:44 to 211 with almost all Democrats united 0:47 against it. Only six Democrats 0:49 ultimately voted for the final NDAA 0:52 while seven Republicans broke ranks to 0:54 vote no. California Democrat Gil 0:56 Cisneros who had supported the defense 0:58 bill in committee voted against final 1:00 passage. He called the measure a blank 1:02 check for what he described as the 1:04 latest forever war in Iran and condemned 1:06 culture war and anti-LGBTQ provisions 1:09 written into the bill. Cisneros 1:10 specifically cited the prohibition on 1:12 TRICARE coverage for gender-related 1:14 medical procedures which House 1:16 Republicans slipped into the bill as a 1:17 step too far. Beyond the voter ID writer 1:20 the house bill renames the Department of 1:21 Defense as the Department of War. 1:23 Prohibits TRICARE coverage for gender 1:25 transition procedures and includes a 1:27 military pay raise. 1:29 The stock trading ban termed the Stop 1:30 Insider Trading Act bars lawmakers from 1:33 buying new stocks but lets them keep 1:35 existing holdings. It also explicitly 1:37 exempts the president and vice 1:39 president. Democrats call the Save Act a 1:41 poison pill designed to kill the defense 1:43 bill in the Senate and they may be 1:44 right. Senate leaders have already 1:46 signaled they will strip the voter ID 1:48 provisions from the final NDAA 1:49 conference report. The house also passed 1:51 a budget resolution unlocking billions 1:53 for defense and potential Iran war 1:55 funding with no requirement for 1:57 offsetting spending cuts. A clean 1:59 continuing resolution was approved 2:01 alongside it to keep the government 2:03 funded.
