You have not determined that it is not in the public interest?

It is clear to me that the American men and women around the country are watching today.

I think we are taking that--and I know the corporations love it when you all put these new rules and regulations in, ma'am, but I really wished we had a little more time, and I wish you would show up when we ask you to.

The law requires you to issue permits unless you have determined that it is not in the public interest?

Tennesseans are reminded of this leadership every time they go to the pump, and you all should be ashamed, I think, for your lack of accountability to Congress by not showing up when you are asked.

Does retaining incompetent career bureaucrats for over 20 years benefit the American people?

Today I recognize the good folks at Pratt's Country Store in Fountain City. They have been longtime friends of mine and my family. Perry Pratt's grandfather and brother bought the acreage in the 1920s, and it has been family owned and…

Much has been made about the title of this bill, but I would remind my friends across the aisle that they had a bill called the Inflation Reduction Act and it spent over a trillion dollars and inflation has not been reduced. Mr. Speaker, I…

It is always good to see Ranking Member Raskin with a good, healthy head of hair. God does listen to our prayers. We are glad he is with us and healthy.

My mama's prayers did. Mine don't get quite that close. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 7109, the Equal Representation Act. This legislation will require U.S. citizens to include a question that asks if the person is a United…

States should not be rewarded with more congressional seats or electoral college votes, which would end up distorting the will of the American people. I thank my colleagues, Congressman Warren Davidson and Congressman Chuck Edwards, for…

This May is National Missing Persons Month. Over 600,000 people go missing in the United States every year. Tens of thousands of these folks remain missing every year. Law enforcement officers work hard to solve these cases as quickly as…

I hope that we put American people first and not these ridiculous climate initiatives.

I recognize my dear friend Lauren Click for all of her hard work and dedication at Henry's Deli in Corryton, Tennessee. Lauren first started working at Henry's Deli through a program at Gibbs High School where she got on-the-job training…

The President's EV mandate, I feel like, is a little bit out there.

I wish some of our Democrat colleagues were here today to hear how disastrous President Biden's energy policies have been for the American people.

These regulations are crippling people, especially the EPA.

The fact is that with the EPA, they are out over their skis.

California's excessive regulation is a problem, and it's folks like you that don't--if you all don't speak up at the State level, it's only going to get worse for everyone else's sake.

I yield nothing back to you.

Without those ghost fleet tankers they cannot export their oil.

the Center for Tobacco Products, I feel like they have continued to not tell the truth in some cases to the American people.

Tobacco is the one product, if you use as directed, will kill you.

the value of hemp production in the U.S. decreased by 71 percent.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. President Biden's $7.3 trillion budget proposal for fiscal year 2025 is full of costly woke policies that will end up hurting the Americans who elected us to office. Here are some of the things he wants…
