I thank my friend, the gentleman from Wisconsin. That is very well said. The evils of socialism have crept into all manner of our politics and areas of our culture. Mr. Speaker, I will end our Special Order hour by just reminding the…

Under President Trump, the border was secure. Under President Biden, there is no border. Americans are paying the price.

It is an absolute dereliction of duty. It is inexcusable.

I thank my friend. California's Third District is well-represented as everyone can see. Madam Speaker, as is also obvious by the sample of new Members that we presented here tonight from New York, Florida, California, and Texas, this is an…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. Texas is well represented, and the First District certainly is. Madam Speaker, I am delighted to introduce next for his first Special Order hour speech one of the bright lights in the new incoming class in…

I thank my friend from New York. School choice is such an important issue. I love what he said: Education is the civil rights issue of our time. So well said. Madam Speaker, there is a theme here tonight. We brought in incoming Members of…

I thank my friend and I thank him for his service to our country. We are glad he is here. Madam Speaker, we have many bright lights from Florida. Another one that I would like to introduce next is Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who is…

By direction of the Republican Conference, I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 56 Resolved, That the following named Members be, and are…

I thank my friend. That is such an important issue and we can't talk about it enough. Thank you for drawing the Nation's attention to it tonight. Madam Speaker, our final new Member that we wanted to introduce tonight comes from another…

I would like to kick off our first Wednesday Special Order Hour of the year by extending my congratulations and warm wishes to all of our colleagues, all the new Members, all the Members who are returning here. We have very, very important…

I thank the gentleman from California (Mr. Obernolte), my friend, and Chairman Grijalva for helping us on this. I rise in support of this bill, H.R. 6427, the Red River National Wildlife Refuge Boundary Modification Act. I urge my…

I thank the gentleman for fitting into the hour and honoring Mayor Keith McDonald. He sounds like a faithful public servant and one I wish I had the pleasure of knowing. We commend him on his long public service, and it is fitting that we…

I thank my friend. That is so well said. There are so many issues to cover. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess).

I want to thank my friends for joining us on the floor tonight at this late hour. It has been a long day on Capitol Hill, but there are things that need to be said here. It is December again, and of course that means that we are in the…

I really do have the honor to yield next to a friend and colleague who will be retiring at the end of this Congress. Since 2005, he has represented the dozen counties stretching nearly 120 miles down Texas' eastern border with Louisiana. I…

I thank my friend for his comments. He has been a great example for that, and that was a fitting end to a long career and a lot of hours here on this floor articulating the truth and standing for America's founding principles. Madam…

I thank the doctor for highlighting that. It is such an important issue, and just one more example of so much that has gone wrong here. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Burchett).

By direction of the House Republican Conference, I send to the desk a privileged resolution and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 1340 Resolved, That the following named Members be, and…

it is ironic to hear my colleagues today talk about disinformation, because there is a lot of it being shared from the other side of the aisle.

the National School Boards Association and the Biden Administration colluded, that is a specifically used term for a reason, to create a justification to use Federal law enforcement tools to silence those parents.

We know that the FBI opened over two dozen investigations into parents merely because they stood up to speak on behalf of their children.

For the remainder of this Special Order we will have a number of Republican Members from around the country who will come up and address the big issues of the day, the continued crises, not the least of which is our economic crisis here on…

I thank the gentleman for his comments, and he is right. The energy crisis is a direct result of policy choices. It could be reversed if Democrats would simply acknowledge their error, but I am afraid they won't. Madam Speaker, I yield to…

I thank my friend for his faithful efforts and being such a clarion call and a voice of reason. One of the things that is necessary to maintain a constitutional Republic as the Founders warned us is that you have to have an informed and…
