I am not resigning. It does not help the House Republicans advance or agenda.

I regard myself as a wartime speaker.

It is not helpful to the cause. It is not helpful to the country. We need steady leadership.

But I think all of us know intuitively that they were -- there was a lot of amiss about this election day.

The House Republicans are introducing a bill that will require proof of citizenship to vote. It seems like common sense. I'm sure all of us would agree. We only want U.S. citizens to vote in U.S. elections, but there are some Democrats who…

There's so many millions of illegals in the country, that if only one out of 100 voted, they would cast potentially hundreds of thousands of votes in the election. That could turn an election.

The Constitution was clearly violated in the 2020 election.

It would be chaos in the House.

This is not only highly inappropriate, it's just plain wrong for an American leader to play such a divisive role in Israeli politics while our closest ally in the region is in an existential battle for its very survival.

I understand this acutely — it directly affects my people. We’re going to be very careful not to cut a benefit for anyone who is eligible to receive it and relies upon it.

The president has said repeatedly, we’re not going to hurt Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid recipients who are eligible for it.

We must be clear that Putin will be met with united opposition.

we should be 'united' against Putin.

Vladimir Putin is a vicious dictator and the world knows he is likely directly responsible for the sudden death of his most prominent political opponent, Alexey Navalny. This is the latest attempt to send a message to those working to…

There is no cause for alarm right now.

On this vote, the yeas are 215 (ph) and the nays are 213. The resolution is adopted.

These facts require it. The House of Representatives has the constitutional responsibility of impeachment, and that begins with the investigation.

The reason the presidency is imperiled as your opening monologue stated, is because this is an abject failure of leadership. The American people are done with this. The border has to be secured.

The Constitution does not change. Impeachment power is probably the heaviest power that the House of Representatives is given in the Constitution.

Extreme times, desperate times call for desperate measures, and that's where we are.

That's why this is such a failure of leadership.

Unfortunately, the administration waited for a week and telegraphed to the world, including to Iran, the nature of our response. The public hand-wringing and excessive signaling undercuts our ability to put a decisive end to the barrage of…

The border is a catastrophe.

The president of the United States opened the border. We documented 64 specific actions that Joe Biden and his agencies have taken to create this catastrophe. They did it intentionally.

1.8 million illegals have been allowed into this country, welcomed into the country, sent around the nation into every community, communities near everyone listening and watching this morning.
