First, I believe the New Green Deal is aspirational, and I think it's important that it puts attention on the dangers to our planet at this time and the urgency of our actions.

The poor suffer and the rich can spend to adapt, so they both bear costs, but in some cases it's more personal costs, suffering, and the other is more monetary.

Can anybody give me an idea about how long it might be before the oceans rise to a level to where Mar-a-Lago might be underwater?

That's why I'm a sponsor of the bill because it brings attention to the issue.

I believe the New Green Deal is aspirational, and I think it's important that it puts attention on the dangers to our planet at this time and the urgency of our actions.

RAA and its members are deeply grateful to the dedicated professionals at the FAA, TSA and Customs and Border Protection.

The shutdown put our lives and livelihoods in danger, risked the safety of everyone who flies, and threatened our entire economy.

In closing, again, I would like to thank all the other people, all the members of the Academy and the producers and directors, but also Ranking Member Collins for his continued partnership on this bill, which passed the House last Congress…

Today, I recognize a lady who served in this Congress named Cynthia Lummis. She was the original cosponsor I had on this bill and worked hard on it and was a very fine Representative. We also worked with a man named Lowell Baier. Mr. Baier…

Did the perpetrator of that mayhem and murders, did that person pass a proper background check, do you know?

In Memphis, Tennessee, there were 176 deaths because of homicide in 2018. Two hundred and--90 percent of those were result of gunfire.

Do background checks on gun sales also relate to less domestic shootings and domestic disturbances?

So, indeed, if H.R. 8 were the law, there is a goodly chance or a chance that an individual would not have gotten a gun, and those church people would still be alive?

Do you think the people of Memphis could expect a reduction in that rate if we pass H.R. 8?

I think that H.R. 8 is absolutely the right first step to closing this gaping loophole in background checks.

Our Constitution is a great document, I concur. But you have to remember that the original sin of this country was slavery.

It is amazing. You know, in Memphis, we had a statue of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and it was recently taken down.

It was part of our charter. And except for the Civil War and the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments, we would still be there, and we are still fighting it today.

It is amazing how that coincided with the felon voting issue.

I sponsored the bill in the Senate to restore voting rights, and that was put in by a House member, and I think it was done for pernicious basis.

The President shall not have the power to pardon himself or herself, the President's brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, spouse, parent, child, grandchild, or spouse of the President's grandchild, the President's aunt, uncle…

We must be very wary of attempts to create exemptions to such laws or otherwise weaken their enforcement mechanisms.

I take no position on the question of whether sober homes are the best means of integrating those recovering from addiction in society.

I do. Like a public utility.

I have never said anything that is hate speech or anything close to it. So there is no justification whatsoever for social media networks to be silencing a mainstream conservative like myself.
