Mr. Speaker, I am honored to be here today in front of the American people as we debate the merits of the Gulf of America Act. This would rename the body of water formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. This is such an important thing to do for the American people. The American people deserve pride in their country, and they deserve pride in the waters that we own, that we protect with our military and our Coast Guard, and all the businesses that prosper along these waters, but Democrats today are outraged. They are outraged because they love the cartels more than any other people in the world, even more than the American people. They spent the past 4 years funding and voting for policies that ripped our borders open and allowed our country to be invaded by millions and millions of people, drugs and fentanyl that murdered over 300 Americans every single day, human trafficking, child sex trafficking, terrorists, and millions of people who we have no idea where they are in the interior of this country. Democrats are outraged today because they are America last, and they hate anything that would give the American people pride. The Gulf of America is one of the most important things that we can do this Congress. This is an executive order written by the President of the United States, which, by the way, is President today because the American people rose up and voted against the Democratic Party that was completely America last. Section 1 of the executive order lays out the purpose and policy in directives, stating: ``It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation and ensure future generations of American citizens celebrate the legacy of our American heroes. The naming of our national treasures, including breathtaking natural wonders and historic works of art, should honor the contributions of visionary and patriotic Americans in our Nation's rich past.'' Americans have watched Congress week in and week out rename post offices. Democrats vote for it all the time. Democrats aren't afraid to rename anything. They have been renaming military bases because they hate our history and hate our heritage. This is also the same Democratic Party that cheered when their ground troops, antifa and radical rioters, went throughout American cities and tore down statues, like Lincoln and Washington. The Democratic Party doesn't want to preserve America's rich history or promote pride in our country, our lands, our people, our businesses, and, yes, our waters, the Gulf of America. The Democratic Party wants to remain the best business partner to the cartels that they have ever had. It is the cartels that have been enriched by tens of billions of dollars because of Democratic policies, and they will continue to protect them and fight for them.

I'm so proud of [Brian Glenn] for pointing out that Zelensky has so much disrespect for America that he can't even wear a suit in the Oval Office when he comes to beg for money from our President!!

This is a town hall; this is not a political rally. This is not a protest. If you end up in wanting to protest, if you want to shout and chant, we will have you removed, just like that man was thrown out. We will not tolerate it.

Mr. Speaker, names matter, and the Democrats know that. Parents take a lot of time when they think about what to name a child that they are happy to welcome into the world because they have pride, and they are proud to welcome their new…

We also have to recognize that the majority in the room were standing and cheering when those people were thrown out, and again, it was the protesters who were out of line.
