I thank the gentleman for yielding. I oppose this bill, Madam Speaker, because it is redundant and will grow a State Department bureaucracy that is already overgrown. This is the same State Department that already has two bureaus tasked…

Thank you to my good friend, Chairman Ted Deutch, and I want to thank you for holding this important hearing today.

Yesterday, our U.S. Supreme Court Justices held oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson case, which addressed the constitutionality of Mississippi's law banning abortions after 15 weeks. It is time to get rid of the rules that prevent our…

Last summer's UFO report from the Director of National Intelligence was bogus. The report raised more questions than answers about unidentified objects in the skies. It stunk of a government coverup, Mr. Speaker. Now the Pentagon is…

State and local governments across the country are caving to woke demands and removing statues of certain United States Presidents from their public buildings. Last week, Thomas Jefferson's statue--if you can imagine, Thomas Jefferson's…

I am glad the gentlewoman's mama chose life. Madam Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to be here. Joe Biden's build back broke agenda is for the coastal elites, not working Americans or middle class families. Increasing State and…

I thank Vice Chairman Johnson for yielding to me and the adequate job that he is doing. Madam Speaker, I recently overheard some East Tennesseans talking at the gas pumps at the local Pilot station. And a fellow said, it is almost like…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Keller), and thank him for his better-than-lackluster handling of this event tonight. It is much appreciated. Madam Speaker, for the past several weeks, I have been coming down here to make the…

What is up with this 100 threshold? The President got up and said, 'I am doing this under my authority to protect the American people.'

Outlawing independent truckers is essentially what they did.

the Biden administration, the Socialist majority, and their fellow travelers in our party aren't seeking ways to alleviate the destruction caused by these policies.

I have got a--my oldest son is right now at Fort Benning, OK? We are sending 18-, 19-, and 20-year-olds overseas to defend our freedom, do the unthinkable.

They do not have the jurisdiction to regulate this.

the Socialists on both sides of the aisle, pumping another $1.25 trillion into our economy.

Washington isn't the solution, Washington is the problem.

California has actively sought to kill the trucking industry in its State.

This vaccine mandate reveals the hubris and detachment of this administration.

Individual freedom just scored a huge victory. Last weekend, a court of appeals ruled what we already know. Joe Biden overstepped his authority with his vaccine mandate. No more jobs will be threatened by the administration over…

When the coronavirus shut down this country, first responders and healthcare professionals kept our communities going and safe. The essential services they provide can't be done from behind a computer screen, Madam Speaker. Joe Biden's…

The American taxpayers are expected to write the Democrats a blank check for this socialist scam. Democrats want to squeeze as much money as possible from successful individuals and businesses. Madam Speaker, this is completely wrong. We…

I thank Representative Wagner for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Congressional Gold Medal, as we all know and have heard, is Congress' highest medal. It is the least we can do for the 13 brave servicemembers killed during our withdrawal from…
