South Korea is still an important strategic partner, but their last election led to a left-wing government closely aligned with China that, among other things, has begun attacking American companies.

South Korea is an American ally and an economic success story, which is why its recent and continuing actions restricting American companies — like its 20-year ban on Google Maps — are so troubling.

I mean, they kept counting until they won. What’s new about that? We have a corrupt system.

Congratulations to @pulte on his appointment by @realDonaldTrump as the new Acting Director of National Intelligence. Bill has successfully managed some of the most sensitive American data, as well as more than $10 trillion in assets at…

Will the United States Congress side with the idea that we should be more democratic in our third branch, or that our third branch should remain more independent, less if not completely outside the will of the people at the moment?

I can hold this seat. I’m not quitting on California and neither should anyone else.

Shame on anyone who would say that. I was a first lieutenant about to be a captain when the war was declared against us 47 years ago. Iran has been at war with us and the world for 47 years. In 1982, I was a young captain when they killed…

Fentanyl kills 5,000 in New York. It kills 100,000 in the U.S. It kills thousands in Canada and thousands in Mexico. Those numbers are staggering, but those numbers are a small part of the tragedy to families. For every fentanyl death in…

a lot can be said about my friend and colleague, my Western Caucus chair, but today was a special day for us. We had lunch today as California members, and Doug paid for it because every week somebody sponsors it. His death was so sudden…

I’m a free-enterprise guy.

We have all said that this will pass the House, perhaps unanimously, today. I think all of us who have looked at the details of this particular bill know that it is flawed and that before it goes to the President's desk it has to be…

It couldn’t be higher!

The ultimate in false statements.

For decades, the clear Constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners have been targeted for elimination, and handgun rosters are only one of the cynical schemes used to undermine the Second Amendment through the pretense of firearm…

I got screwed out of the gold card because a few of our members wouldn’t go along with having an expansion of revenue related to visas.

I include in the Record the CBO estimate for this bill. H.R. 1526, NORRA OF 2025 AS REPORTED BY THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY ON MARCH 25, 2025 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ By fiscal year…

I did ask unanimous consent that all Members be able to place extraneous material in the Record. I guess they are taking me up on it. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Schmidt).

By direction of the Republican Conference, I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 300 Resolved, That the following named Members be, and are…

I note that what the gentlewoman from Colorado (Ms. Boebert) is referring to is what has now been affirmed as an inaccurate decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. My colleagues on the other side, in disparaging the President, keep using the…

As I close, since the ranking member so aptly named a couple of famous quotes and famous movies, I might call attention to the line: What we have here is a failure to communicate. The other side, just a few months ago, supported this…

I suspect that the gentleman is prepared to close as am I, and I reserve the balance of my time.

Perhaps you can just consider that every time the other side speaks, they will be speaking in violation of our rules about disparaging the President, and you need not say it each time, I trust. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the…

May I inquire as to the time remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from California has 7\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from Maryland has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

We have a major malfunction in our federal judiciary, and practically every week another judge casts aside the tradition of restraint from the bench and opts to be the Trump resistance in robes.
