“I thank the gentleman from Louisiana for yielding. Madam Speaker, it is hard to pick the crisis to talk about because there are so many. I would like to talk about unity. I was at the inauguration last year. I heard the President's speech. I heard him campaign. His message was centered on restoring unity to an angry Nation. He promised to bring us together. Well, he has brought the American people together, that is for sure, because everyone now understands the full magnitude of the crises that we are going through. He has united the country in that fact alone. One year ago, I want everyone to remember, we were not experiencing the inflation that we are, the highest rate in 40 years. We did not have foreign adversaries who were treading over our policies and looking at us as weak. Right now, we have a border that is in complete chaos and complete crisis. It has only been 1 year under President Biden's reign, and our Nation is directionless from the masthead in the midst of chaos, not to mention that our international reputation and our influence have been squandered through policy failure after policy failure. When you look at this poster right here, look at the energy crisis that we are dealing with, and Ukraine right now is in the midst of not knowing whether or not they are going to be invaded by the Russians. What a terrible position to be in. The President has green-lighted Nord Stream. He failed to sanction the Nord Stream pipeline.…”
