Ted Budd

Point of order. I would request that the colleague from Virginia direct his remarks to you and not to other colleagues. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair reminds all Members to address their remarks to the Chair.

As a Federally licensed gun store owner, I have a unique perspective on our Second Amendment rights, and I actually happen to know how background checks actually work. It seems that H.R. 8 is being sold as universal background checks, and…

Over the past year, the government has appropriated over $4 trillion--that is with a T--in COVID relief. Now we are standing here this week and we are debating whether or not to add another $2 trillion to that enormous total. But what…

I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding. Madam Speaker, lifesaving COVID vaccines are going to waste. Seniors and frontline workers in my State, the State of North Carolina, have had their vaccine appointments, which they depended…

I am here to talk for just a moment about law and order. I am here to talk about how we as a body can prevent more needless tragedies in our country. I am here to talk about true justice. Specifically, justice for victims of dangerous…

Last month, over 10,000 patients in and around my district had their COVID-19 vaccination appointments forcibly canceled, throwing seniors and frontline workers into uncertainty. This mistake was the result of an uneven allocation process…

The Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade was decided 48 years ago last month. Since abortion was made legal, more than 60 million unborn children have had their lives prematurely ended. This is a matter of conscience for me, and I believe…

Today is really about one party single- handedly canceling a Member of the other party because of something said before that Member was even elected. This isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with the comments. This is about Democrats…

Mob violence is not representative of our country or of this building. The American people--at least the ones who are still up watching right now--have seen this body return to a peaceful debate. And that is the American way. So let's get…

For the past 2 weeks, I have heard from an overwhelming number of my constituents, and they do not have confidence in the integrity of November's election. They are outraged that media pundits and establishment Democrat politicians are…

Over 15,000 American children are diagnosed with cancer every year. Having the most innocent among us receive such a gut-wrenching diagnosis is devastating. Thankfully, incredible progress has been made in treating cancer among children…

One of the biggest lessons that the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us is the importance of the phrase ``Made in America.'' In my home State of North Carolina, we are a national leader in textile manufacturing, and we have a rich history of…

The time for such a streamlined process to be put in place was a long time ago.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. He is a great chairman, but also a great friend. I thank him, also, for organizing this Special Order. Over the past several months we have witnessed lawless anarchists take to the streets and destroy…

During the pandemic, much of our lives has been forced online. Our children are learning remotely. Our businesses are conducted through webcams. Even Sunday church services are now live-streamed on Facebook. For the estimated 500,000 North…

I want to rise in strong opposition to H.R. 5332, the Protecting Your Credit Score Act of 2019. Although I will not be supporting the gentleman from New Jersey's legislation, I want to make sure that people know that I consider him a…

I thank Mrs. Miller for being here tonight. I appreciate her support on this. Madam Speaker, I thank all of my colleagues who have made it tonight to speak on the dangers that sanctuary cities pose to the communities around us. It strikes…

I am joined by my colleagues today to discuss how sanctuary city policies threaten the safety of American citizens. Before I dive in, I want to commend the Trump administration for its crack-down on sanctuary cities, and I applaud the…

I thank Mr. Byrne for his friendship and leadership on this. Madam Speaker, at this point, I would like to yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Bishop). I want to thank him for his leadership on the Immigration Detainer…

I thank Mr. LaMalfa, and I appreciate his thoughts. Madam Speaker, at this time, I yield to someone who is focused on securing our border, making sure as well that West Virginia remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family…

I thank Mr. Norman. Madam Speaker, at this point, I would yield to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Byrne), a friend and colleague who led the effort with me to introduce the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act. Like all of us here…

I would ask unanimous consent that all Members have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks, to include extraneous materials on the topic of this Special Order. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the…

Due to traveling with President Trump to North Carolina, congressman Budd had to miss votes. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 79 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 80. PERSONAL EXPLANATION

I want to sound the alarm on our country's out-of-control fiscal situation.

The time is now to rein in Washington spending addiction.
