Mike Johnson

I thank my friend. It is so sad that broadband needs are not being met because politics are in the way. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Carter).

I thank the general. I appreciate that so much. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Baird), Fourth District, another American hero, another hero of mine, a gentleman who sacrificially served his country and deserves…

I thank the gentleman for mentioning just one of the many Republican ideas we have. And as he said, we are not there at the table. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee's Sixth District (Mr. Rose).

I thank the gentleman for speaking with such authority. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania's Ninth District (Mr. Meuser).

I thank the gentleman from Tennessee for those bold words, and he is right. I think that expresses the sentiment of a lot of Americans. I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Gimenez), who knows a lot about immigration as well as…

I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for her remarks, and we do call out the administration. That is what this Special Order is all about. I yield to the gentleman from Tennessee's Second District (Mr. Burchett).

I thank Mr. Cawthorn for that perspective. Madam Speaker, I will move briskly because we have a lot of Members, as you can see, who are passionate about these issues and want to weigh in tonight. I yield to the gentleman from the First…

I thank the gentleman for that compelling testimony from a first-generation American. That is meaningful. We prize immigration, the legal kind. We believe in the rule of law, and that is what maintains order. I yield to the gentleman from…

I thank the gentleman for that perspective from Texas again. So we've got Texas and Arizona. Madam Speaker, we are going to move a little further west, all the way west to California. I yield to the gentleman from California (Mr. Garcia)…

I am so grateful for those comments and for the gentleman's expertise. This passion that you see, Madam Speaker, is deserved. We are so concerned that the President doesn't share it, and that is what you are hearing echoed over and over…

I thank the gentlewoman for that passion. She is right, she has been there, and she sees it herself. I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Nehls), who represents the 22nd Congressional District and will bring another border State…

I thank my friend for that compelling eyewitness account. Anyone who is looking at the evidence cannot deny this is a problem. I would like to yield to the gentlewoman from Arizona (Mrs. Lesko). Being from a border State, she knows a whole…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. We came here to drain the swamp, but it is really difficult during the current administration. We will get back to it soon, though, I am confident of that. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Ohio…

I thank the gentleman from Wisconsin for that dire warning. I guess if you subscribe to modern monetary theory, none of this is a concern, but it is for those of us who live in the real world. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from…

This doesn't have anything to do with justice. This has everything to do with power.

The notion that Black people must be protected from a free ID to secure their votes is not just insane, it is insulting.

Today's hearing is about the Voting Rights Act, and voting, as we all know and agree, is a fundamental right in this country and, indeed, blood has been shed to secure and sustain it.

I just find all of this fascinating.

By allowing Big Tech to operate under Section 230 as is, we will be allowing these companies to get our children hooked on their destructive products for their own profit.

Nomination to the bench should not be decided by identity politics but instead by qualifications.

The truth is simple. The only times my Democratic colleagues believe someone meets their diversity test is when they are ideologically aligned.

Let's begin with the basic premise that exceptional qualifications, not race, skin, color, gender, or religion should be the most important factor when evaluating a judicial nominee.

I believe that we will show today, although the goal of more women and more broadly diversity, that we also recognize that we want to select, going forward, the best and the brightest and most qualified...

Mr. Chair, thank you for the time and the hearing. This is a bipartisan concern, and so we treat it as such.

I am very concerned how anticompetitive conduct by dominant firms, like self-preferencing, is undermining innovation and preventing competitors from entering the market with better services.
