“You can't have it. While we enjoy a little levity, we understand the gravity of this situation. People will die today as a result of this virus. We have come together as Democrats and Republicans from every region of this country to respond in a way sufficient for the challenge, and we know we will need to do more.

America has been blessed by God and by our people. Let us respond this hour to their need in their defense so that America will go forward stronger, better, and more ready to face future challenges. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
