If you lined up the $10 trillion that the Congressional Budget Office reports we will owe as interest on our national debt, if you line that up in $100 bills, it would stretch from New York City to Los Angeles and then back again. This…

I agree that that full investigation of a lab origin is the responsibility of this committee.

3 years ago, as a new and dangerous virus caused by the Chinese Communist Party began to spread, they shut down internal travel but allowed international flights to continue. The Chinese Communist Party was attempting to stop COVID-19 from…

the Biden administration's war on American energy.

Tomorrow evening, President Biden will deliver his second State of the Union Address and attempt to defend his failed agenda, an agenda that has led to high inflation, crumbling supply chains, and, worst of all, an open southern border…

We can't afford to fall behind our adversaries as we move further into the 21st century.

Wouldn't this incentivize the drug traffickers to bring fentanyl-related substances, more of them in, causing more tragedy, more deaths in the United States?

I firmly believe that we must empower law enforcement with every tool that is necessary to stop those who traffic these deadly substances.

I think protecting our southern border is utmost important.

I think that your ability to take your clinical experience as an emergency room physician, to bring that to Congress, to take your personal ability to recognize that, as you put it, all of these fentanyl-related products are deadly…

It is shocking to hear that in 2022 alone the DEA seized almost 379 million deadly doses of fentanyl.

I am troubled by the Biden administration's insistence that we should exempt certain fentanyl-related substances scheduled by class from all quantity-based mandatory minimums.

Lack of operational control over our southern border has allowed the cartels, the drug traffickers, to flood our streets.

It was 34 years ago that the Iron Curtain finally fell, revealing to the world the horrible truths of socialism and providing a stark contrast between the United States and the enemies who wish to do us harm. In the Capitol rotunda, we…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. This legislation--let's explain this very simply--is necessary because we need to install the guardrails to protect the strategic reserve. Before this administration, it was unimaginable that a…

There is a reason that we hold our law enforcement, our firefighters, and our paramedics in such high esteem. It is because these men and women are called to protect human life. As a doctor, I swore an oath to first do no harm, and to…

This week, we celebrate National School Choice Week, and recognize that parents have the right to choose the school that is best for their children. For the past 3 years, we have seen lockdowns and curriculum that failed to provide…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and I congratulate her on her historic leadership position. Mr. Speaker, our Nation and our national security have always been tied to our ability to utilize the resources that we have right here in…

This week, we will take historic steps to reverse the crises created by President Biden's administration and fulfill our Commitment to America. For the past 2 years, the Biden administration has chosen to appease the radical left that…

Last week, during a telephone townhall, a woman in my district asked what Congress was planning to do about the cost of her fuel bills. She could no longer afford to heat her home, and she has been forced to use a wood stove just to…

As Congressional District lines shift in January, I am saddened by the fact that I will no longer have the honor of representing the Shanksville and Stoystown communities in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, the place where 40 heroes lost…

54 years ago the Apollo 8 crew lifted from Cape Kennedy, Florida, embarking on the first manned mission to circle the Moon. On Christmas Eve of that year, they would be the first to be pulled into lunar orbit. On that same day, they became…

In recent years, we have seen the devastating toll of fentanyl and its analogs all across America. A drug that is cheap to manufacture and, unfortunately, incredibly potent, to the point that it is now the leading cause of death for…

Throughout his career, Fred Keller has had many titles. He's been a CEO, State representative, Congressman, and deacon. But the title that I know Representative Keller is most proud of is ``grandfather.'' Madam Speaker, I rise today to…

As we recognize National Bible Week, we have the chance to reflect on the wisdom and guidance that the Holy Scripture provides to us as we seek to govern. It was Benjamin Franklin who said: I know that my redeemer lives. And if a sparrow…
