To my constituents across Tennessee’s 7th District—thank you. The trust you put in me is humbling.

While I cannot give the details here, I will be doing something specifically designed to help America compete against the CCP [Chinese Communist Party], but this time in business.

Mr. Speaker, I will address some of the comments that I have heard from my colleagues and shine a little bit of light of truth on some of this. My colleague, the gentleman from California (Mr. Correa), mentioned that this would serve as an…

I commend Rep. Knott for leading legislation that will ensure DHS has the right intelligence and preparation to keep accomplishing this mission and protect our communities.

The sadistic gang Tren de Aragua was allowed to take advantage of our country under the Biden-Harris administration's reckless, open-borders policies and mass-parole schemes—committing heinous acts of violence from Denver and Raleigh to…

Though I planned to retire at the end of the previous Congress, I stayed to ensure that President Trump's border security measures and priorities make it through Congress.

I have no more speakers, and I am prepared to close after the gentleman from California closes.

These weren't in the design specs, and they got placed in there without telling anybody.

Our supply chain for food would be disrupted. Think of empty shelves on grocery stores, think of manufacturing grinding to a halt.
