Yet the actions of this administration dictate otherwise.

I thank the chairman for his hard work on this budget. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the House Republican budget with the defense fix. Our country needs to get back on a responsible financial path, a path that protects our…

There has to be accountability, we have to change the way things are done in the future.

I back up my Chairman's position a hundred percent. I am still staggered and stunned by what is going on.

I have got a real problem with that.

I have a real problem with the two major limitations that the President has put into his proposed language: a limitation on time and a limitation on scope.

I am really concerned that, just this week, President Barack Obama was interviewed and compared fighting ISIS to a big-city mayor fighting crime.

Good. And I hope that means fewer people doing the same job which means less budget dollars going to personnel.

I will do everything I can to make sure that those funds are in the budget and I will work with other folks to try to achieve that.

I am disappointed that the time line seems to be slipping.

And I have 100,000 veterans in my district and almost that many dependents and other family members.

Tomorrow marks the 42nd anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which legalized elective abortion in the U.S. Elective abortion is an abhorrent practice that tragically remains a common medical procedure performed…

When he was first saying the Army Corps of Engineers need to be brought in, a lot of people didn't believe him.

It is the most wonderful time of the year, a time when millions of Americans gather together to celebrate Christmas. For many of us, Christmas is a time to remember the humble birth of our Savior on a holy night more than 2,000 years ago…

I want to thank my friend and colleague from the State of New Mexico for his leadership. I rise in support of H.R. 2366, which I introduced with the help of my colleague, Representative Emanuel Cleaver, which would require the Secretary of…

I thank the gentlelady. Mr. Speaker, I would now like to invite another Member to speak. Ron DeSantis represents part of the State of Florida, and I am privileged to call him a colleague and a friend. I now yield to Mr. DeSantis. Mr…

It is interesting, it was tough sanctions that brought Iran to the negotiating table in the first place. Now the administration had to be drug kicking and screaming to have tougher sanctions that Congress initiated and pushed for. They…

I would like to ask the gentlelady, you mentioned an important point. You talked about what would happen if Iran did, God forbid, achieve the ability to have a nuclear bomb. What would other countries in the region do? What are some of the…

I appreciate that, and I think we would agree that of the other countries in the region almost without a doubt Saudi Arabia would want its own bomb.

Egypt would want its own bomb. Turkey would want its own bomb. And others. Others would aspire, but they would have the money and possibly the technology to actually achieve that, or buy it from another country.

I would like to ask the gentleman what would happen over in the Senate if Harry Reid were to allow for a vote on, let's say, the Menendez-Kirk language on tougher sanctions if Iran leaves the negotiating table? Mr. DeSANTIS. Well, I think…

Well, I appreciate your comments and thank you for saying that. Also, let me ask you one further question. You talked about Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism and you touched on the fact that they contributed to the death of some of our…

That cadet had every right under our Constitution to express his religious belief or no belief at all.

Thank you so much for your remarks. You have helped enlighten everybody on how important it is that we not have a bad deal with Iran. The President has said that no deal is better than a bad deal, and yet I am afraid that is what we are…

I offered an amendment to the NDAA this last summer, which was accepted by the whole House, and it required the Air Force to rewrite its religious liberty regulations.
