Thank you, Mr. Secretary, for being here. I would love to use my 5 minutes to have you reflect a little bit on shadow banking.

I thank the gentleman from Colorado for yielding me a little bit of time. I also thank the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Woodall) for acknowledging the bipartisan quality of this bill. Mr. Speaker, I rise in the hope that this body will…

If you have a congressional subpoena, you show up, full stop.

Courts have ruled time and time again, including the Supreme Court, that impeachment is sort of Congress at its most powerful.

I want to emphasize a quid pro quo is not necessary for there to have been an abuse of power.

A quid pro quo makes the situation more serious, but I would also point out, Anderson, that the chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, two weeks ago, went before the cameras and basically admitted to a quid pro quo.

I want to sort of downplay the importance of this so-called quid pro quo. Quid pro quo is what the defenders of the president are saying is essential for the president to have been guilty of something. It's not.

I think you have a responsibility to do more than police. I think you have a responsibility to actually invest.

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.

We can allow that concentration of power to take over government, which is to embrace fascism; we can allow government to take over that concentration of power, which is to embrace communism; or we can embrace competition.

I will never forget looking at the thousands of Facebook ads and Twitter posts that the Russians had purchased in order to attack our democracy.

Of course, Putin, who's a very savvy individual with a background in intelligence, a background in manipulating people, and getting people to do things that they don't necessarily start out wanting to do, of course, he's going to know how…

I almost worry more about Rudy Giuliani because, as we know, and you - you only need to look at Rudy Giuliani's Twitter feed to know that he trades in these conspiracy theories about the DNC server being located in Ukraine, about the…

If President Putin can get our President thinking in those terms, it can drive a wedge, and ultimately allow Putin to succeed, in his desire to, you know, ultimately control half of that country, retain Crimea, and - and do whatever he…

May I inquire as to the time remaining for the majority. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Connecticut has 6\1/2\ minutes remaining.

I strongly agree with Mr. Meeks. I don't want to see 2008 again.

This is a complete overhaul of the circulatory system of the global economy.

I would like to thank Mr. Smith and Mr. Khanna for their leadership on this amendment and just express my disappointment at the statements made by my friend, Mr. McCaul. I never imagined that an amendment that essentially restated…

But I suppose what really concerns me in the context of monetary policy is, I am sure you are aware of a report that was published by the Minneapolis Fed...

One of the proudest moments of my career in this Chamber was the passage of the Affordable Care Act, not because it was perfect--it wasn't--but because it changed the lives for the better of tens of millions of Americans. Now, of course…

I am not in the habit of praising the President from this perch, but I do want to say that I am very pleased that we are not in yet another shooting war in the Middle East today. I think we came very, very close, and I appreciate that the…

My colleagues on both sides of the aisle know that I shy away from sharp partisanship in favor of the negotiation and compromise required for law to be made. I marvel every day at how rarely the pragmatic common sense of the American…

I think to fail to respond to an awful Iranian regime, to sort of empower them, to send a message we won't respond if we are hit would be the more dangerous of the two options.

I have for years been saying that we need to reassert congressional constitutional authority for deciding when we go to war.

They are rolling the dice on what the nature, if any, of the president's response will be in a way that is really playing with fire.
