I would love for us to come up with a way to save our shrimping industry in Louisiana, Florida, and Alabama, Mississippi, obviously.

Their decisions hurt anglers, confuse anglers, and are harmful to the local economy.

As you know, the Biden administration has canceled the three remaining leases in the Gulf, lease sales on the offshore 5-year plan that expired June 30, 2022.

It just amazes me how we will buy Russian oil, which is much dirtier, and it has to cost more to actually get it here.

I thank my colleague from Louisiana (Mr. Johnson) for his leadership on all of these pro-life issues. Madam Speaker, in the wake of the Dobbs decision, pro-abortion radicals have waged horrific attacks on our pro-life community. Pro-life…

I urge the adoption of this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 420.

We have to be careful. In our bid process, when we're talking about the lives of our airmen here and now, we are going to buy the cheapest product to put them in.

I feel like I'm going to the refrigerator and I'm pulling out a jug of milk and I pour a glassful of it and it's all clabbered.

So the taxpayers are paying to upgrade something that was supposed to work originally. That makes a lot of sense. I have been in business for years; trust me, that makes no sense in my mind. Zero.

I expect a product that works 100 percent of the time.

They're overpromised, underdelivered, over cost. It all falls in the same category.

Americans are hurting. When the cost of fuel goes up, everything goes up: a loaf of bread, a pair of shoes, a car, everything.

We have to start planning much further out than the next election. And that is the problem we are having here in Congress.

When the environment takes preference over human life, and that is where we are at.

The people in Alabama and the people in this nation are frustrated, and they are mad.

We need help. We need the Gulf opened up. And the bureaucratic games that we are playing are not playing out well in the state of Alabama.

If there's a need, let's build them.

I call on you to let us know what you need to defend this country, because that is all of our goals, Republicans and Democrats, defend this country.

I'm personally tired of a defense budget process that does not supply our troops or meet our global defensive needs.

Our withdrawal of Afghanistan indicates a completely avoidable failure of leadership and has made the world and our homeland less safe rather than more safe.

Over the past few weeks, we have made it very clear how important it is for the United States to produce its own energy rather than rely on other countries for our supplies. The President and his allies have made things very clear that…

I challenge you to go to the Black community in Selma, Alabama. I challenge you to go there and tell them that they are going to have to buy a $60,000 electric car.

restricting oil and gas production in federal waters will actually result in decreasing the total consumption of oil in the U.S.

I thank the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Banks), my colleague, for organizing this Special Order. Madam Speaker, when my father was a child, he sold newspapers on the streets in Oklahoma City. He was 6, 7, and 8 years old. He would tell me…
