The president certainly doesn't want to shut down. If one happens, I think you only have one place to look and that's to the Democrats who are holding our military and our national security hostage by trying to push through other policies…

How does the VA project its expected collections for each year, and how does that match up with what we are actually collecting?

Thank you. According to the VA OIG report on the consolidated patient account centers, in 2015, the VA billed third-party payers approximately $7.2 billion for medical treatment.

Look, I think that is an outrageous claim. And frankly, I think if the critics of the president were who he said it was, why did NBC give him a show for a decade on TV.

the president hasn't said he didn't use strong language, and this is an important issue. He's passionate about it. He's not going to apologize for trying to fix our immigration system.

I thank the Chair for the opportunity to address the House this afternoon. Beginning in 2013, I began discussing how our economic recovery was subpar in comparison to post-World War II recoveries. That is, in part, due to, as I argued, the…

I rise, today, to discuss my recent resolution here in the House, H. Res. 673, which expresses concern over attacks on Coptic Christians in Egypt. I had the opportunity to travel to Egypt last year. In the course of preparing for that…

I rise to highlight the positive impacts our historic tax reform law will have on the agricultural community. Agriculture is Arkansas' largest industry by far, adding $16 billion to our economy every year and accounting for approximately…

I thank Chairman Grassley for his leadership on this issue and for offering the SECURE Act, which I and some of the other Senators have supported. I wish to continue this debate where Senator Tillis left off. We have heard a lot today…

The safety and security of the people of this country are the president's number one responsibility and his number one priority when it comes to anything that he does.

Border security does have to be part of this process.

Thank you, Mr. President. I have to add, coming from Arkansas, that I wish to congratulate the Southeast Conference for being the championship teams. It is going to be a great game.

Absolutely not. In fact, there are probably more than 30 requests for access to information from Michael Wolff that were repeatedly denied, including within that at least two dozen requests of him asking to have an interview with the…

We're certainly happy for people that had different opinions. But there is a difference between a different opinion and different facts. And people are entitled to an opinion but they are not entitled to their own facts and we have a big…

The people are tired of paying the price for their violent and corrupt rulers. As a result, we are now seeing an organic popular uprising organized by brave Iranian citizens on the largest scale since 2009, but the international community…

I think the Democrats on the House and the Senate side are interested in the investigation because we need to know what happened.

That doesn't have anything to do with the president or the first lady. The biggest thing the president did in his engagement in inauguration was to come here and raise his hand and take the oath of office.

as co-chair of the Air Force Caucus, I rise to pay tribute to Lt. Gen. Michael C. Short, who served this country faithfully for over 51 years, 35 years as an Air Force fighter pilot and another 16 years as an Air Force and joint senior…
