Mr. Speaker, why is the Chair not capable of entertaining a request for unanimous consent to provide for additional time to address this urgent public health crisis? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Speaker's announced policy on Special Order Speeches does not allow the Chair to entertain that request. ____________________

They brought us here today to attack a district attorney who has actually seen a decrease in violent crime during his tenure.
We must pass universal background checks. We must implement red flag laws to keep guns away from those who are a danger to themselves and others, and we must reinstate the assault weapons ban.
Crime prevention is a serious topic, and it deserves serious discussion, but that's not what this hearing is about.
We stand ready to pass legislation to address the serious issues facing all Americans if our Republican colleagues will let us.
