I am happy to yield next to a gentleman who has been on the front lines of all this as a retired police lieutenant. He is also a former professional hockey player, and that is pretty cool, too. He is a tough guy, but he knows the issue…

I thank the gentleman for that forceful message. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 32 minutes remaining.

I thank my friend. It is a serious issue. Every moment of levity helps us. I tell you what, if we can't work in a bipartisan fashion to prosecute criminals and stop the cartels, there may not be a lot of hope for this institution. I hope…

I thank my friend for that compelling message. He is right, every State is a border State now, whether you are on the coast or whether you are up north or anywhere in the country, and Tennessee is no exception to that. I yield now to the…

I could not have said it better myself. I thank my friend for those comments. Mr. Speaker, what Mr. Griffith is explaining there is the magnitude of this crisis, and I have a number of colleagues here tonight who will speak to it. Illegal…

This evening we will have Republican Members from across this country to address the multiple crises that are facing our country, whether it is the economic crisis, the crime crisis, the energy crisis, the border crisis, the foreign policy…

I thank the gentleman for his remarks. The Border Patrol agents are as frustrated as we are. Demoralized is exactly right. We have met with them and heard their stories. And the reason they are so frustrated, Mr. Speaker, is because all of…

I thank my friend. I appreciate his words and his expertise on the issue. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Babin), who I think will address some of the other crises we are facing as well.

That passion is authentic. And as we said, from Arizona you see it every day. Mr. Speaker, I just received a text message from our colleague, Mr. Katko, and he is the lead Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, and he said make…

Strong words on a very important set of issues. I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. LaMalfa). Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Louisiana for hosting this Special Order tonight and continuing to keep the effort…

I could defend it in court if it was ever challenged and I would suggest to those who will that you would reference the Supreme Court in 1952, Zorach v. Clauson.

This is all about having a national hymn as opposed to what could very well be divisive as a Black national anthem.

They don't let anybody sing the fourth passage. That's right. That's why.

Racism and racial violence violate the most fundamental principles of our great nation and the will of our Creator.

I thank the gentlewoman so much for highlighting that critically important issue. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller).

I thank my good friend from Georgia. You are right, the American people are still waiting, and it appears that they will have to wait much longer if we are relying upon this White House. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas…

I thank Mr. Cawthorn and appreciate his insights. Madam Speaker, what we have heard here tonight are Members from across the country, across the Republican Conference, who represent Americans all across this great land. They have expressed…

I thank my friend for highlighting this terrible tragedy. It is just unimaginable the scope and the scale of this, and it goes on every day. Madam Speaker, I am happy to yield to the gentlewoman from Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks).

I thank the gentleman for highlighting that critical issue. That is a big part of the border crisis that all these illegals are being brought to cities near you. My hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana, has had dozens of busloads of people…

I thank my friend for those comments. He is exactly right. If the Democrats are serious about countering China, they would have worked across the aisle. They would have worked in a bipartisan fashion. They would have sent some of our…

What great points. I thank my friend for highlighting the problem. These energy policies from this White House are not only making fuel more expensive, more expensive for every American to put gasoline in their vehicle; it is also harming…

I thank my friend so much for highlighting that. As Mr. Rose said, there is $10.3 billion in this bill for climate funding over the next 2 fiscal years. But there is also $2 billion in there for a climate program, and it is authorized…

That is so well-said and such a tragic story. Our prayers go out to that family. What a loss, and losses like that are all over the country. Fentanyl is weapons- grade, as Mrs. McMorris Rodgers said. It is a weapon of mass destruction…

These are harsh words about China. The gentleman is correct. It is the number one threat. This bill that they are proposing and advancing right now--we call it the America concedes act--mentions climate change more than twice as often as…

I thank the gentlewoman so much for her expertise, especially in pharmacology. This is something that everyone needs to recognize. This fentanyl problem is a problem that is avoidable. I said in the opening that it is a leading cause of…
