Mr. Speaker, as we look at those bills coming to the floor next week, frankly, they would make those problems worse. I know when we talk about the inflation side--we talk about inflation, because it is the thing we hear the most when we…

Mr. Speaker, I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the floor schedule for next week, and I welcome the majority leader back to the colloquy. It is good to see him spry. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from…

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for that information as we look toward this appropriations process coming to the floor next week. I would hope it doesn't take the same tone that it took in committee, and that is a hyper-partisan…

Mr. Speaker, hopefully, like I said, we get the opportunity to have that open debate process so that we can bring amendments like restoring Hyde to this floor. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to ask about something that is going to be…

Mr. Speaker, that wasn't the opportunity that we asked for, and I think the majority leader knows that the minority leader put a number of issues on the table that he wanted included in that review, and those were rejected. They were…

The majority leader will have an opportunity, but there were a number of things you said that I think need to be cleaned up because they are just not accurate. If you look at the Members that were kicked off from the minority side…

Mr. Speaker, that is a quote about Mrs. Greene, but it is a general quote about whoever it is. You could go down your list. By the way, there were Members of the majority who are on that committee who voted on January 6 to reject electors…

Mr. Speaker, if the facts were what the majority wants, then the majority wouldn't be afraid of certain Members asking tough questions that maybe the majority doesn't want. Since the gentleman brought up Mr. Jordan, I will tell you a…

Mr. Speaker, they haven't said publicly whether they would or not. Mr. Jordan sure did. Again, maybe he was punished for raising tough questions in advance of the hearing instead of waiting. But in the end, those were questions. Sheriff…

Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that as that commission starts, it will not include other Members, Republican Members, who wanted to ask some of those tough questions in terms of supporting the police. I don't think the gentleman has seen…
