I thank the leader for his comments, but what is your plan to do that? We have been now here in this Congress, this year, for over 330 days, 340 days. You haven't passed any plan on homeland security. You haven't brought it to the floor…
Reclaiming my time, we didn't vote for it because we didn't like the bills. But the gentleman is in charge, and he has 240 Members. All he needed was 218. We didn't like his bill, so we did what we do when we don't like bills: we vote…
Me, too. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, it will be quite interesting to watch. I know my struggles. I hope the gentleman doesn't have the same struggles, but I will make this promise to the gentleman: When we agree, I will be there. We do not…
What is the solution? Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, do you know what the solution is? Sit down with us and come to a compromise, not that it is his way or no way. Mr. Speaker, let me ask the gentleman a question.
The gentleman is correct. We passed all 12 bills. We passed them one by one so that we can consider each one, and they went to the Senate. Unfortunately, the Senate didn't act in a fashion that I would hope. I will tell the gentleman, it…

We may pursue that process, and I know he is going to support it because it is his process that we are going to pursue, sort of like his schedule. {time} 1130 Mr. Speaker, we passed all 12 bills. We sent them to the Senate. Unfortunately…
Is your answer to the question, yes, the wall, or we shut down government? Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, no. I am not one who shuts the government down. We went through that.
I thank the majority leader for that information. I would reiterate what the majority leader has said because I believe this is accurate. There will be no votes before Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. next week--no votes prior to 6:30 p.m. next…
I will ask the majority leader a question, just to make sure we all understand the schedule. But before I do that, I want to join the majority leader in saying how pleased we are that Steve Scalise not only came back, but is making such a…
Or the week after. Is there a possibility, from that, that we may be here during the month of October? Mr. McCARTHY. No. I thank the gentleman for his question. November 13, if I am correct, is the first time we will come back, and…
