Speaker Ryan on Fox And Friends: Defense Bill Funds the Wall

“We have the biggest increase in the military in 15 years, the biggest pay raise for our men and women in uniform is eight years. We need to rebuild our military. We just lost these two F-18 pilots last week. We lost four times as many people in…accidents in the military last year than we did in combat. Why? Because Obama shortchanged our military. This fixes that. This is the Trump/Jim Mattis budget for the military. That is probably the biggest victory here—what we're doing for our soldiers, our sailors, our airmen, our Marines, and our veterans. This fixes that massive problem. This funds the wall, fixes the military, fight opioids, does the things we said, and does not fund Gateway. It gives Donald Trump the decision on Gateway.”
