Let's just make sure the American people know the truth. Parents have the right to know what their children are being taught. Parents have the right to be heard. Parents have the right to see the school budget and spending. Parents have…
I thank the gentlewoman from Indiana for the time. Mr. Speaker, again, the facts are completely irrelevant to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle--completely irrelevant. Introduced in the Record a little while ago was a story from…
I don't want to put law-abiding citizens in jail who are exercising their Second Amendment rights.
I have been combing over the budget to find any reductions in outlays or cuts in this administration's budget.
I think we should actually, on a bipartisan basis, try to stand up against the overreach of the executive branch.
the extraordinary concern that we have with bureaucrats making law, right? I mean, that is at the crux of this.
to try to turn millions of Americans into felons, to advance a radical leftist agenda, which is clearly what is at play.
The Second Amendment was designed purposefully to empower the people to resist the force of tyranny used against them.
I thank the gentleman from Virginia for his leadership. We joined together with our colleagues at the House Freedom Caucus this morning to announce what we believe is, I would say, the bare minimum, if you will, sort of the baseline for…
I appreciate my friend from North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would inquire as to how much time we have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Texas has 8 minutes remaining.
Right. It is now $26 trillion more than that, and the President is patting himself on the back for saying, well, we are not going to increase the debt by $20 trillion; we are only going to increase it by $17 trillion over the next decade…
I asked earlier, if you set out over the last 2 or 3 decades, to do a worse job than the leadership of this country, in this Chamber, the Senate, the bureaucracy, and the White House, could you imagine doing a worse job than over the last…
I thank the gentleman from West Virginia and appreciate his strong passion in representing the great people of West Virginia. He is a good friend, and I am glad that he could join us here today. Earlier, I was talking about the need for…
I don't know if I will use every bit of that. I appreciate the point that the gentleman from North Carolina just made, because it is critically important and it merits at least one final repetition, that this great country racked up the…
That is correct. If the gentleman doesn't mind, I am going to end here with a few minutes on the border and then yield to the gentleman from West Virginia. I thank my friend from Virginia for coming down. On that point, what we are…
Yesterday we were given the President's budget, which outlines the President's so-called priorities. Well, his priorities were pretty clear: Continue to expand government at the expense of the American people. Expand government, a…
I thank the gentleman from Kentucky for yielding me time. I thank our colleagues on the other side of the aisle for working with us on that unanimous consent, which I think is important. It is important for us to have a full debate and a…
We don't want to be projecting to the American people that we are somehow making decisions, when we are doing our job here, that is connected to our own profit, our own personal financial stake.
I cosponsored legislation with Senator Cornyn--or I did the companion--applying to the judiciary the same kind of transparency that we had in Congress.
We have got to send a signal to the country that we are not profiteering--or, the other side of this that people don't talk about very often, we are not actually making decisions on policy because of our position.
It seems to me that, looking across the entirety of the three branches, in my belief, if you are truly looking at the branches equally, then we need to think about that.
