I think that is critical that we hear firsthand the experiences that you underwent and appreciate your willingness to share those with us today, take time out.

What have you heard from detainees and their families or lawyers about how these men are coping with incarceration conditions that, simply, are not permissible in the United States?

I am not asking for an advisory opinion. I am asking what you took into account with the Parliamentarian to determine that his words were nonparliamentary. That is what I am asking. And I have given you context and relationship of previous…

I have several inquiries, if I might. I am not trying to press. I am trying to understand. The first one is did the Speaker and the Parliamentarian distinguish or identify by the term ``author'' of the bill, ``maker'' of the bill, or…

My question is regarding the determination that these words were nonparliamentary. What is the extent of the protection of the debate and speech clause, vis-a-vis, for instance, when we have had a resolution to strip a Member of committee…

Yes, I do. Thank you. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his inquiry.

In spite of the protestations of the gentleman from Maryland that we heard earlier that this bogus, fraudulently organized committee has a legislative purpose that is legitimate, and he said it was self-preservation, but everything every…

it's not a political issue. It's a personal choice.

it seems, coming out of the Biden administration, it has been more of a one-size-fits-all approach and more of a top down kind of bullying, shaming approach just on vaccine mandates.

it's alarming that President Biden's main focus seems to be trying to get people fired from their jobs as opposed to putting more time and effort into some of these alternatives.

Civil asset forfeiture laws infringe upon Americans' due process and property rights.

I had my asset seized by the Internal Revenue Service in 2013, over $940,000, without warning and without ever being charged with a crime.

Those protections were a great start, and I am thrilled to be here to learn more about how we can further reform our civil asset forfeiture laws.

I was excited to learn about the chairman's bill when he introduced it with Representative Walberg, the FAIR Act, and I wholeheartedly support its goals and policies.

I think they should, but I think there should be a fair amount of discretion involved in the sense that telework shouldn't be just seen as an employee perk where everybody gets it or everybody doesn't get it.

I would refer you to my written testimony on this.

We have become--because of this overwhelming spending, quite frankly, of both parties an expansion of government into all places and all things from the Federal level.

I think a more pressing and, in fact, an even more important question is whether the fourth branch, the bureaucracy, has grown too big.

It was not Mr. Gosar's intention, I believe, and he has made that clear, to induce anyone to violence. Like he, I also condemn violence, but I would ask you to reconsider further usurping and taking control of this body for political…

Let's take a look at what Democrats are ignoring so they can censure a conservative Republican because he posted a cartoon they found offensive and which he took down himself: More than two million illegal aliens crossing our border this…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 207, nays 219, not voting 7, as…

While the border is porous and 200,000 people are being apprehended every month, another 100,000 are illegally entering who we don't know where they are coming from. They are not caught; they are gotaways this administration is going to…

There are several. Title 42 came along a little bit later, though. The most effective were the remain in Mexico policy and the agreements with the Northern Triangle states. There were no incentives in these care packages that came along of…

But doggone it, it should not be mandated by a tyrannical government. And this is the tip of the spear on a fascist-style government, in my opinion.

When you say that, I am reminded of the surge of 2019. That surge in 2019 happened. I know you went down to the border multiple times.
