“I recognize my friend, Louis Carl Dobbs, from Childress, Texas, who sadly passed away at the age of 78. Lou Dobbs, born on September 24, 1945, to Frank and Lydia Dobbs, earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard University. He then moved into journalism, starting as a reporter in Arizona and later working as a television anchor in Phoenix and Seattle. He joined CNN at its inception in 1980, and he hosted ``Moneyline.'' Later in 2010, he joined Fox Business Network, hosting ``Lou Dobbs Tonight'' until 2021. He also hosted ``Lou Dobbs Radio'' and wrote for Money Magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and the New York Daily News. He is remembered for his dedication to his profession and his impact on the field of journalism, leaving behind a legacy of in-depth reporting that shaped the way many Americans understood political issues. Lou was a dear friend of mine. He will be missed greatly. He was never afraid to tell the hard truth, something that is missing today in journalism, and that is something that is hard to find, of course, in the world in general. I am praying for Lou's family and his friends during their time of loss, Mr. Speaker. I thank Lou for being my friend. ____________________”
