This is an exercise in advancing a political narrative.

The real aim of the Act is to reverse the decision in Shelby County.

H.R. 4 is hugely problematic.

I thank the gentleman. The American people are counting on us, and they deserve a President who will ensure their safety, security, and freedom, both here at home and abroad. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. C. Scott…

My friend from Arizona is exactly right. This crisis with China and the Chinese Communist Party is perhaps the greatest threat that we face as a people today, and we need the White House to stand strong. I am so grateful she brought that…

My friend is exactly right. That language is dangerous, and our colleague that he referenced is contributing to the foreign policy crises that have developed rapidly over the last few months. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from…

The Biden administration Democrats continue to push policies that pay people more to stay at home than go back to work, so the results are not surprising at all. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry), who…

During my time tonight, my colleagues and I will address the major crises happening here at home, happening close to home, and now happening abroad. Our message tonight will cover many topics, but the theme is consistent. These crises are…

How much time remains on the clock? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 3 minutes remaining.

Despite the obvious magnitude of that big problem on the border that we have seen and talk about all the time, hammering home that theme, there have been zero visits to the border by the President or the border czar, the Vice President. In…

Mr. Keller is correct. When we were kids, they taught us the value of a dollar. That is not what our Democrat colleagues are teaching anymore. Now they are subscribing to what we call fantasy economics, modern monetary theory and all the…

``reckless'' is a word we hear over and over tonight and as we talk to our constituents because there is no better word to describe what is happening with this administration. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr…

My friend said it so well. This administration either doesn't understand those fundamentals of the economy or doesn't care. It is very perplexing. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Baird), who represents Indiana's…

I am very grateful for those comments. Mr. Perry is exactly right. He mentioned Economics 101. Some of our colleagues would do well to go take a refresher course. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Clyde), who…

Mr. Gohmert is exactly right. And the scope of that tragedy is something that is hard to wrap your mind around. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Mooney).

I will need to summarize, then. I am delighted to have had so many of my colleagues here tonight to help us sound the alarms and inform the American people what is going on here. We have a crisis here at home. We have a crisis on the…

I thank my friend for those remarks, and I thank him for his service. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire how much time is remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 13 minutes remaining. {time} 2130

My friend is exactly right. The people do know better, and the pain hardworking Americans are feeling is very real. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Meuser), who represents Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional…

The gentleman covered a lot, and he is right, this crisis we have, the jobs and the economy was so preventable. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Wilson), one of my heroes in the Congress.

That is a great reminder of who the President serves, and it is confounding to us that he doesn't understand these basic truths. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Burchett), who represents Tennessee's Second…

I thank Captain Higgins for those impassioned words. He is exactly right. One of the things that is so heartbreaking, frustrating, unconscionable about this is we can solve this crisis at the border pretty simply. All we need the White…

That is such an important point. The evidence is mounting that China is indeed responsible for the COVID crisis, and we must hold them accountable. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins), who represents the…

There is an inclination right now among many of our Democrat colleagues in Congress to Federalize everything, not just housing with legislation like H.R. 1451, but we see it with voting and policing and many other issues.

Because I have talked to landlords in my district back home, who are deeply concerned about this...

When you Federalize this, you diminish that accountability, and eliminate that responsibility that local politicians should have.
