I thank my friend for his remarks. Madam Speaker, when we think about energy States, of course, we probably think about Texas first. I am delighted to yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin), who represents that State so well.

From energy States like ours--Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and the others--we have been saying this for a long, long time: Energy security is national security. Now, everybody recognizes it. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from…

I thank Dr. Babin. That is Texas strong, as we expected. Madam Speaker, one of the strongest Republican delegations in our Congress comes from another State, Tennessee. I am delighted to yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Rose)…

Thank you, Mr. Wilson, for all you do, and your expertise in foreign affairs is a great blessing to all of us. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Rose).

President Biden's address to the Nation last night was a missed opportunity. Our country is mired in a historic number of crises of the President and his party's own making at home, at our border, and abroad. The rhetoric in the…

Thank you, my friend. Well said. Madam Speaker, I am happy to yield next to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Thompson), the Republican leader of our House Agriculture Committee.

Mr. Good said it so well, and that passion is felt all around this country. I hear it from my constituents. I know Mr. Good does as well. All of us do. People couldn't even tune in last night. Our constituents are writing to us saying they…

Thank you, my friend, for your leadership. That was well said. As we say over and over and over, energy security is national security, and it is unconscionable that we are funding Putin's aggression in Ukraine. Madam Speaker, I am happy to…

I thank my friend. Very well said. Madam Speaker, I am happy now to yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller), who announced this week that he will not be seeking reelection, and he will be sorely missed because he is a…

That was so well said. We are going to stay in the State of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Burchett), who is from that same area.

I thank my friend. I appreciate him very much. Madam Speaker, I am happy to yield to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), who has been a mentor to me and so many others in Congress.

Well said. The hypocrisy was on display last night. It is just absurd. Madam Speaker, I am happy to yield next to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good).

The words of the psalmist resonate today as much as they did when they were written so many years ago, and our God is faithful. I thank the gentlewoman for putting that in perspective tonight. Madam Speaker, I am happy to yield next to the…

Energy policy is national security policy. Energy security is national security. We know that acutely now. Madam Speaker, I am delighted to yield next to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Mrs. McClain). Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, the state…

I thank Mr. Grothman. That was well said. There is lot. We know you can go all night because there was a lot to complain about. Madam Speaker, tonight you have heard the response of so many of my Republican colleagues to the lackluster…

Very well said, my friend. Thank you for being here. Madam Speaker, I yield to another colleague now, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).

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. 955 Resolved, That the following named Member be, and is…

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The American dream is not a zero-sum proposition. We need to not hold anyone back, so that we ensure that everyone can get ahead.

Equity is dangerous. It is a poison to our system.

The Republicans in our Committee stood together and we are very concerned about the weaponization of the Department of Justice.

As we have illustrated tonight with so many Members coming in from all over the country to express our concerns about all of these crises--and we genuinely could go for hours upon hours. But the hour is getting late tonight, and our…

I thank my friend. I think about the same thing, our children and what we are doing to them and their future. They will have less security, less financial stability, less opportunity. They won't have the great fortune that we have because…

I thank my friend for his insights there. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Rose).

That debt is so staggering. And Dr. Babin is right, so many people don't stop to think about the magnitude of it and what we are doing to our children, our grandchildren, every future generation of Americans. We better get control of it…
