I just ask you, Mr. Chair, because you are a great supporter of this, and I would ask our colleagues if you have not been to the border, please take some time and go down there.

Some commonsense Second Amendment provisions, and then some commonsense on the Supreme Court nine would--nine should be fine.

Wouldn't it be nice to get people from the other side to actually say we do have a problem, and it is more important than a Republican problem and a Democrat problem. This is an American problem.

The Israelis are going to do the collateral damage assessments. They're going to try to use precise targeting. They want to separate. They do not want to target Palestinians. They want to go after Military targets.

I think we'll get 217 votes.

Egypt has always, over the course of the last 30 years, brokered the peace that's been necessary when Israel and Hamas and Hezbollah have flared up.

Israel has indicated that they want to change the dynamic. They want to alter the dynamic in the Middle East, which means we want to eliminate the existence of Hamas.

When you disparage the good men and women who put on the uniform, risk their life every day in our streets, you also get a shortage of police officers and more crime.

When you defund the police, and you have prosecutors who go soft on crime, you get more crime.

Bad guys aren't stupid; they are just bad. If they know there are less police on the street to stop them and they are not going to get prosecuted if they do get caught, they do bad things.

On January 3 we said the 118th Congress is about three things: pass the bills that need passed, do the oversight work that needs to be done, and stop the inevitable omnibus that comes from the United States Senate right before the…

I think we are a conservative center right party, I think I'm the guy who can help unite that.

I'm against that. What I understand is, at some point, we're going to have to deal with this appropriations process in the right way. We're going to try to do that in the next -- what are we down to -- 41 days. The most pressing issue on…

I thought it was unfair to -- unfair to Kevin. Kevin, I think he's done a fine job, and he and I came in together. He's a good man and he didn't deserve this in my judgment.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the fiscal year ends in 36 hours. This bill funds the government. We have a $2 trillion deficit, $33 trillion debt. This bill cuts spending. We have a border that is wide open. This bill…

If there were nine Biden family members who got money from these business transactions, is it not striking that Joe Biden was not one of them? Pretty remarkable.

I want to thank the witnesses for their testimony today. It confirms the evidence compiled by this Committee justifies the investigation of Joe Biden's role in his family's international business schemes.

I would say to the American people, look at the evidence before you and make a judgment, and do not allow the White House or our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to try to convince you that what you are seeing is not the truth…

This is a tale as old as time: Politician takes action that makes money for his family, and then he tries to conceal it.

Let us be clear. You do not need a full vote of the House to proceed in an impeachment inquiry phase of our constitutional duty to do oversight.

For my colleagues to say there is no evidence of Joe Biden's involvement is not only wrong, but it fails to acknowledge that investigators have been shut down.

I do wonder if they have predetermined the President's level of participation in these schemes.

That is why Mr. Turley said earlier that this is a confirmed corrupt influence-peddling effort. He thinks that is what Joe Biden engaged in.

If these allegations are true, and there is--there is' a reason why it was so hard to put together. This was done deliberately and on purpose.

And despite what my friends on the other side of the aisle may say, House Republicans have always held that this investigation should follow proper procedure and be done the right way.
