This past week, we celebrated the life of Don Young, the dean of the House with 49 years here representing the State of Alaska. He was a Republican. But before he was a Republican, he was an American. He wanted this House to work and this…

I thank the chairman for my time. I rise in support of the MORE Act which would finally reform how we deal with marijuana laws and how we should. Mr. Bentz said we should put more money into law enforcement. That is the opposite of what we…

Mr. President, earlier this week, I gave some examples of how the media is covering for Judge Jackson's lackluster performance in her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. I am not sure who they think they will persuade with these unhinged…

The inflation rate in the United States currently stands at 7.9 percent. That is the highest it has been since January 1982. As prices continue to rise, thanks to the unfavorable financial conditions created by President Biden's agenda…

I stand here not to talk about the bill but to talk about my friend, Don Young. When I first got up here, I told Don that I was an avid gold panner in Knoxville, Tennessee, yet, in my lifetime, I had never found one flake of gold. He told…

Madam President, reserving the right to object. I do think it is significant that the party that is now in the majority that was previously in the minority took a different position when it was not in the minority--when it was not in the…

Madam President, well before we gaveled in to last week's Supreme Court confirmation hearing, our friends in the mainstream media had made it clear what the approved narrative was going to be. According to them, we were supposed to talk…

First, I want to take a point of personal privilege. This is the first day that I have walked into the House without Don Young being in it. Don Young was an outstanding Congressman and a good human being. He was my friend. Every day I…

I want to say how much I enjoyed working with Mr. Armstrong on the Judiciary Committee. When I came back for the new Congress and he wasn't on the committee, that was a loss. But it has been good to work with him on this bill, and he has…

Mr. President, I rise today on behalf of a grateful nation to pay tribute to the unparalleled sacrifices of Utah's Gold Star families. Thank you for your commitment to defending the Constitution of our great Nation. Thank you for your…

Well, they have said things they thought were nasty. But it was not nasty to me because I have no choice in the fact that I am bald.

Reclaiming my time. I am just as good a human being, just as smart, just as effective, and just as caring with or without hair; and the fact is it is discrimination, and it is ignorance. African Americans have been discriminated against in…

I want to congratulate the University of Tennessee's basketball programs on making their respective 2022 NCAA tournaments. By punching their tickets to the big dance, both the men's and women's teams built on UT athletics' long history of…

Mr. President, one of the challenges we face in this era of great power competition is identifying unique threats before they escalate. When it comes to Russia and Ukraine, these threats have come into full focus. Vladimir Putin took off…

This morning I went to a breakfast where I heard the thoughts of Miss Sheila Bair. Miss Bair is a Republican. She describes herself as a Midwest Republican who worked on Senator Dole's staff for 8 years. She is a former assistant secretary…

As a member, co-chairman of the Helsinki Commission, I want to compliment Mr. Cardin and Mr. Wicker and their work on this bill, bipartisan, from the Senate. What Russia has done with Ukraine is immoral. It is illegal. It is against the…

I greatly appreciate Chairman Johnson for heading this up day after day. I just wonder, have the Democrats been to the gas pumps lately? I used to love to go to the gas pumps and talk to folks to see what was going on. Now, honestly, I am…

Mr. President, last week, the Senate passed a $1.5 trillion funding bill that the Democratic majority insisted was full of must-pass, got-to-have-it, can't-live-without-it provisions that the American people were demanding. Unfortunately…
