I am encouraging everyone to support this important amendment. I think it is important, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Biggs). The…

I appreciate my friend, the Agriculture Committee chairman, and his opposition, but I must respectfully disagree. The proposed funding level for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is a nearly 30 percent increase over the fiscal year…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 61, line 25, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $240,000,000)''. Page 119, line 20, after…

Let's talk some more about what should be done. We have a structural deficit of $2 trillion. We are spending $700 billion in interest. The Fed is losing money. Our economy is slowing down to boot. The question is: What could we do? How…

I have to say, I am actually baffled a little bit because it is like we are on the other side of an ocean, an ocean separates us. I never hear my colleagues say that they want to reduce spending on any program. I never hear it. Instead…

Let's talk some more about the Fed and why we are in a world of hurt and why we have to start reducing spending and funding. We can't fund every project, everything around the world and even in our own country. We send hundreds of billions…

Today, I recognize the legacy of service and leadership of Michael Pollack, a resident of Arizona's Fifth Congressional District. I join him in celebrating his 50th year as president and founder of Pollack Investments, which specializes in…

So, who is preventing from enforcing the law? Is it you or President Biden?

So, did President Biden tell you to do it or did you guys decided to do it?

Did you implement this catch and release program or was it President Biden?

Did President Biden tell you to open-up the border or did you?

I have introduced a piece of legislation called the Federal Land Freedom Act, which would allow states to voluntarily take on permitting for projects on Federal lands within their state boundaries.

Yes, and that is a constant theme that we are going to see as we go through here today is that the United States, an incredibly blessed nation minerally, has ceded it to China.

It is necessary if we are going to remain a strong economy and if we are going to go down in history as a self-immolating country.

Mr. Biden, Hunter Biden, attempted to obtain a business tax deduction on his return for hotel rooms that were used by his father, Joe Biden.
