There is no middle ground here. There is no room for compromise.

We must either be on the side of a system of justice that ensures fair and equal treatment for all or you're on the side of a system that caters to the privileged and the powerful.

Justice for you, but not for me. Is that what's coming out now?

If there was this bias in an agency like the FBI that we saw previously, and they wanted to go after a U.S. citizen, they could use that technique to go after that citizen.

My concern is that the bias that has been demonstrated there, whether it has been eradicated or dealt with, could exist in any of these agencies.

It appears to me that the lack of an investigative discipline and the failure to take logical investigative steps are a result of bias.

I think the allegations are very serious. I think there were national security implications from having documents in an unsecure area.

When you take a legislative function and you, by rule, go forward and usurp our authority...

What I see from ATF too often... is ATF taking a Legislative function and running with it.

If we stayed focused on violent criminals, we could reduce the crime, especially in urban America, where it is so dangerous.

I am not in favor of abolishing the ATF. I want to thank the ATF for increasing the number of 922(g)(1), felon in possession, cases in the last few years.

The people of Wisconsin better hang on because violent crime is going to get worse.

Those are almost all women, I'm sure, 110.

The purpose of this, obviously, is that Congress, as responsible to the American people, should be reviewing these programs.

I thank the gentlewoman and wish her safe travels back to our great State. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Burlison), who is a hunter, a fisherman, and a great American.

If the stenographer needs help with dadgummit, we will try to get a spelling for her on that. I yield to the gentlewoman from Colorado (Mrs. Boebert). She is from my home State, and she is a young person who has set this place on fire…

I appreciate the gentleman's passion. I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Burchett), the gentleman from the Butternut State. That is a new one for me.

I thank the gentlewoman for her comments. I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Gaetz), the best Florida podcaster from the Sunshine State.

I recognize the gentlewoman from Wyoming (Ms. Hageman), my neighbor to the north from the Yellowstone State.

I thank the gentleman who has been described as New Jersey's best dentist. Now, we are going to Arizona's best dentist. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).

It is now my honor to yield to the gentleman from South Carolina, the Palmetto State, one of Biden's many vacation spots (Mr. Norman).

...since November enough fentanyl to kill 2.1 billion people has been seized at the southern border.

According to Border Patrol, there have been approximately 1.2 million known got-aways since President Biden took office.

Since President Biden took office, we have seen a tremendous surge in the Terrorist Watch List arrests at the southern border.

The power to decide this profound moral question has officially returned to the states where it will be debated and settled in the way it should be in our democratic society by the people.
