today, I have the distinct honor of recognizing John ``Big John'' Quintrell of Helena, MT, for bravely serving our Nation during the Vietnam war and for his dedication to supporting the heroes who fought alongside him. John served…

You cannot have it both ways, what this would do with energy prices, what it is going to do to this economy and inflation.

I believe it is a direct result of this inflation that we are seeing.

I want to start by expressing my continued concerns my colleagues have had with inflation we are seeing in the economy.

Well, they are still down as we sit here today, 1.9 percent over the course of 2021.

What is mind-boggling means we have sources of energy that do not emit carbon, like nuclear, like hydropower, and yet we see these ideological movements that are seeking to shut down nuclear plants, shut down hydropower, in some cases…

I think we all know it is not going to be good news for hard-working Montanans, hard-working Americans who are seeing their wages eaten away, month after month, by inflation.

I would urge my colleagues to avoid hyperpartisan solutions and instead seek consensus on something that is truly bipartisan.

Stablecoin policy is an area where I think there should be, and hopefully there will be, broad bipartisan agreement as well as compromise.

I am proud to sit here as a supporter of the VAWA reauthorization of 2013.

Women do not need more gun control. Gun rights are women's rights.

It is disheartening to see some partisan politics going on with the underlying bill.

The current conversation circulating around VAWA includes President Biden's unconstitutional gun control agenda.

It is imperative that we as a legislative body put some of these pet projects aside.

The reason is because there are provisions there that will attempt to strip Montanans of their second amendment rights.

Outdoor recreation is truly a fundamental part of our Montana economy.

I rise today ahead of one of the most important moments in our decades-long battle to protect life. When our Founding Fathers laid out the Declaration of Independence, they talked about life, they talked about liberty and the pursuit of…

giving the IRS $80 billion to hire 87,000 more agents should be chilling to the American people.

I would encourage my colleagues to come out publicly opposed to Ms. Omarova's nomination so we can find a way forward on filling this important nomination.

the Democrats are looking at jamming through this some $1.75, $1.8 trillion reckless spending bill.

The proposal that the Democrats are trying to ram through at the moment will add at least $300 billion of deficit in the first 2 years.

Injecting all this money in the economy, borrowed money, at the same time constricting supplies... we now have really the perfect storm created by the Biden administration for inflation.

reserving the right to object, border security is national security. That is why I rise today to speak on my amendment No. 4236, to block President Biden's outrageous taxpayer- funded handouts to illegal immigrants who broke the law and…

The thought of that is chilling, and this Committee, in my opinion, should unanimously reject your nomination.

I do want to join my colleagues in expressing extreme concern with the nomination of Professor Omarova to head the Office of Comptroller of the Currency.
