I can answer the gentlewoman's question. If her question is, when will we stop debating DEI, the answer is when we get rid of DEI in the military. We will be here fighting this fight each and every day because what fashions itself as an…
Excuse me. Point of order, Mr. Chairman. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida is recognized.
This amendment is quite similar to the prior one, but it wouldn't just strip the cash out of the bill; it would not require further security assistance to Ukraine. I offer this amendment because the Biden administration is sleepwalking our…
May I inquire as to the time remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Florida has 1\1/4\ minutes remaining.
What is the parliamentary mechanism that requires an individual to address the Chair because if it is not that, we can address each other, let's do that for the rest of the debate. The Acting CHAIR. The Chair will not engage in this…
The childish antics that we just observed indicate that we have got a lot of work to do both in this House and the military, not to have radical, racial ideology governing our discourse and governing the policy choices that we make in…
I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Florida will be postponed. Amendment No. 23 Offered by Ms. Greene of Georgia The Acting…
It is worth acknowledging the great bipartisan work on this issue with my colleague, Ms. Jacobs, and my colleague, Mr. McGovern, who have been speaking on these issues with clarity for some time. The opponents of the amendment made the…
I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Add at the end of subtitle G of title V the following new section: SEC. 5__. PROHIBITION ON FEDERAL FUNDS…
I reserve and I thank the Chair for that acknowledgement. Mrs. McCLELLAN. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Hawaii (Ms. Tokuda).
They accuse this amendment of being born of weakness. Guess what, Mr. Chair? It does not make America stronger to borrow money from China to give to Ukraine. Do you know who we are appeasing? China. As we engage in this endeavor, China is…
There is a time in every debate where everything has been said but not yet by everyone and that may be where we are in the DEI debate. But what I bring to the House now is the most fulsome amendment to completely remove DEI from the DOD…
I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Georgia will be postponed. Amendment No. 22 Offered by Mr. Gaetz The Acting CHAIR. It is…
I am at a loss when my colleague asks without any response from the United States. It has already been $115 billion that we have authorized. One hell of a response, I would say. But there has to be some point in time where we put our…
I want to be recognized for a parliamentary inquiry. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is not recognized. Would you like to----
Very well. I seek recognition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman is recognized. The gentleman from Florida is recognized for his amendment.
The funds sent to Ukraine represent a major investment in war, not national defense or building infrastructure to deter conflict. This is the active engagement in the killing of sons, daughters, husbands, and wives abroad. We shouldn't be…
I thank the chairman and the ranking member for their model of good work and focus on our military. I would speak now to any House conservatives who have apprehension about voting for the NDAA. If you vote against this NDAA or the rule…
You didn't have that piece of information because the Court hadn't yet rendered a judgment.
People trusted the FBI more when J. Edgar Hoover was running the place than when you are.
I don't just think we would achieve a great regulatory accomplishment, but I think you would actually be able to sell product at a higher price to people who are willing to pay it.
I'm a proud cosponsor of the PRIME Act. I appreciate this hearing, if for no other reason that I'm not going to eat the bugs.
I think you would actually be able to sell product at a higher price to people who are willing to pay it by virtue of that direct consumer relationship.
