Andy Harris

I thank the gentleman from Virginia for bringing this forth. Mr. Chair, look, I urge everyone just to read the Fifth Circuit Court opinion. The fact of the matter is, the Fifth Circuit Court said the FDA way overstepped their congressional…

I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for offering this amendment. My colleague across the aisle read verbatim from an executive order to analyze the effect of climate on migration. What we need is an executive order to examine the effect…

I thank the gentleman from Texas for offering the amendment. It turns out in the wisdom of the committee we have already defunded the Civilian Climate Corps, but belts and suspenders is fine, I have no problem with that, because…

I thank the gentlewoman from Colorado for offering this amendment. There is one thing the Federal Government should not do when it has a $2 trillion deficit, and that is do duplicative things in one department. There already is an Office…

The Thrifty Food Plan, this is the official political appointee who decided that the SNAP benefits weren't high enough, so they devised a new food plan that was used as a vehicle to just increase the SNAP benefits. The bottom line is we…

I thank the gentleman from Illinois for yielding time. This is a commonsense amendment. The bottom line is it is a myth to say that electric vehicles produce no CO<INF>2</INF>. Where do you think the electricity comes from when you plug it…

I congratulate the Member from Florida for bringing a concrete idea to the floor on how to cut our $2 trillion Federal deficit. Once again, it is very easy to spend money. We could make a list of a thousand programs that are deserving…

I congratulate the gentleman, because the gentleman brings an amendment to the floor that does something with the $2 trillion budget deficit. He is right, we have a $33 trillion debt. Our interest payments in a few years are going to be…

What is really harmful is a $2 trillion deficit, not the legislation before us. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Miller).

The gentleman from Arizona has it absolutely right. When I was in the military as a physician, what you wanted when you were injured in battle, Mr. Chair, was the best person taking care of you with the greatest skill. You didn't care what…

The straw that broke the camel's back was a confrontation Greene had with another Freedom Caucus member, Lauren Boebert, on the House floor.

It is not the Republicans who want to defund veterans. It is the Democrats. We have marked up the MILCON-VA bill in subcommittee, and it doesn't have cuts. I don't know where the people on the other side of the aisle suggest we are not…

I agree that we have a labor supply problem. We shouldn't look to children to fix it.

And I would say in the world.

No, not at all, to the contrary.

What I would say is our authorities do not depend on definitions about what is a security, what is a commodity, or what is a currency.

Yes, and that is what we do in New York.

Absolutely, and that is what we do in New York.

I think, ma'am, the framework that we have put together in New York is a very good model that has served well to protect New Yorkers.

Our border czar should also resign, because she isn't doing her job either.

You would be much better off if you labeled them foreign terrorist organizations, your ability to control the border.

I believe in legal immigration, but not what is going on at our southern border now.

The Hunter Biden laptop was, again, falsely blamed on Russian misinformation or disinformation.

I think that distracts from your mission. I think that the SVB bank collapse shows in spades how distractions on things like DEI distract from what a regulator or a watchdog should be doing.

So that you can actually do things if you balance the budget, you can actually accomplish a lot of these things.
