A number of my colleagues have asked why I have made at least two objections tonight with respect to motions to lay on the table and to have reconsideration. And I just want to remind the Chamber that we are here to do the job of the…

I object. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Objection is heard. members recorded pursuant to house resolution 8, 117th congress Amodei (Balderson) Bacon (Fitzpatrick) Bass (Kelly (IL)) Bishop (NC) (Budd) Boebert (Budd) Bonamici (Beyer) Bourdeaux…

Well, I appreciate my friend from Colorado's question. And I would note in your comparison as to our experience as Federal prosecutors, that there is no entity that is able to hold him to account in Russia because he is running the whole…

I just want to remind everyone that 51 kids are trapped after an orphanage is bombed and the director is killed. No heat or electricity. Cold front coming. That is Putin's Ukraine. We should be helping these people.

How has the lawless authoritarian managed to regain his power? Well, I will tell you. Europe made themselves completely dependent on Russian energy. And if you want a wake-up call and you want a warning shot in this country, Russia…

Is there any disagreement on the intelligence that this is what occurred at the hands of Vladimir Putin's orders?

We are seeing Putin's propaganda tactics, as we speak. The world is seeing it on full display. His regime is systematically shutting down the free flow of information surrounding this brutal war in Ukraine. The State run newspapers in…

You are exactly right. And tomorrow, we are going to be voting on a number of things. I got to be honest with you. I am sickened at what we are doing in this body. Instead of debating and voting here and having a serious discussion about…

I appreciate the ability to address a few of my colleagues here on the floor of the House. Mr. Speaker, I would note, though, here we are again, we are sitting here at the precipice of the government funding running out. And I hear all my…

I thank my friend from Colorado (Mr. Buck) for this important time talking about the horrors that have been inflicted upon people by Vladimir Putin. Specifically, we know how much damage he has been causing to the people of Ukraine. More…

And the most important thing that we can do, in my opinion, is do what we are doing right here. And I hope all my colleagues will do this. And I hope everybody will unite. And I hope the American free press will unite, and the worldwide…

Neither you nor I shied away from criticizing the former President of the United States, despite the fact he had an ``R'' after his name. Nor will we shy away from criticizing this President who has a ``D'' after his name. Why? Because we…

That is exactly right. And I want to take 1 minute because it merits repeating because we are sitting here in the United States of America in the protection of our great Republic miles away from what is happening in Ukraine, and it bears…

I am honored to follow my friend from Virginia (Mr. Cline). Mr. Speaker, last night when we heard the President of the United States address this Nation and this body in this Chamber as well as our colleagues on the other side of the…

I heard my colleague on the other side of the aisle and I certainly appreciate his friendship and service. I would take some disagreement with my celebrating the extent to which the President of the United States has announced beforehand…

I do want to finish by saying, it is our duty to secure the border of the United States. It is the duty of the Secretary to secure the border of the United States. There are 100,000 dead Americans as a result of wide-open borders, and it…

I agree with the gentleman's remarks about China, and I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

I thank the gentleman from California. I am just going to wind down here and say this is our time to lead. It does not matter who is the majority in this body. This is the people's House, and this is the people's House whether the…

I thank the gentleman from California. That means a lot coming from him and his great service here in this body, as well as his experience in the private sector, working in the healthcare industry, a great expertise that I don't have. My…

I appreciate my colleague from Arizona (Mr. Schweikert), as he always does, making such a strong case for the need for this body to do the hard work that we are supposed to do and actually using not just taxpayer money but borrowed money…

I would agree with my friend from Pennsylvania. I appreciate him having this time on the floor, and I appreciate my colleagues for coming down. The State of Texas is on the front lines under siege, the communities that I represent, dealing…

The Border Patrol was saying: What are we doing? We are doing nothing. That is what the Border Patrol is saying. But my colleagues on the other side of the aisle wouldn't know that because they never have hearings inviting the people on…
