John Adams said facts are stubborn things, and those are some tough facts. They cannot refute it because everyone can see for themselves. By the way, Dr. Babin, I just pulled up the U.S. debt clock, this thing that everybody can see on…

During the last election, the Democratic Party managed to win a razor-thin majority here in this House and a split Senate, 50-50. No objective person can look at those numbers and suggest that the President of this party, President Biden…

I thank Mr. Keller for that. These words are not hyperbole. This is what the experts are saying. Customs and Border Patrol agents, those officials who are there every day watching this chaos, this calamity that has developed, they are the…

I thank the gentlewoman for drawing attention to that. The gentlewoman is exactly right, and some of the Border Patrol officials have said that they estimate that by rescinding title 42, that the number of illegal border crossings will…

I thank the gentleman for that fight and that very worthwhile legislation, and we look forward to seeing that. The gentleman is right. The surge in crime is directly related to border in so many ways because we know dangerous people have…

Requiring young men and women to take the vaccine has disqualified a huge portion of the population from military service.

I think that is true, but I want to acknowledge here that the objective facts, if we review the objective facts, I think the largest headwind is inescapably the reaction that DOD took to COVID.

Violations of FARA carry stiff penalties, up to a $250,000 fine for each violation and up to five years in prison.

This Committee should dig into that.

If it is so obvious that a vaccine mandate is causing this deficit in the number of troops, then why don't we just change it?

The double standard continues to erode the American people's faith in our institutions, and this is a dangerous, dangerous road to be on.

It probably does need some changes, something done to it.

Should Hunter Biden have registered under this act? Why didn't he register under this act?

The FBI again has little interest in enforcing FARA. If that is not evidence of political bias in the depths of government, I don't know what it is.

The point of FARA is simple. If you engage in certain activities on behalf of a foreign principal, you are supposed to register with the Department of Justice.

I believe it is blatantly unconstitutional.

This evidence can be found in Hunter Biden's laptop, which we now know the FBI has had in its possession since December 2019.

Yes, Representative Owens, it would.

We are the greatest nation in the history of the world and the only way that we will continue that, maintain that, is if we back the blue.

They want ethical, honest, and diligent police officers. They want police officers. They want public safety.

This is not rocket science. We need to apply common sense here.

I wanted to enter into the record a list that our Committee put together of Democrat-led cities that have defunded the police with a total of $1.66 billion cut.

I will tell you that it has been a position of Members on this Committee whom I quoted earlier who have wanted to defend the police.

Of course, they do, sir. Yes, sir.

You have an ally in me and my colleagues, certainly on this side of the aisle.
