I appreciate the gentleman from West Virginia for his remarks. And I would echo that--and I think the gentleman would agree--that I believe that, of the $2 trillion, only 9 percent is directed to COVID relief. And I really just can't…

I appreciate the gentleman for his commitment in being down here on the floor. We have this Special Order reserved tonight to talk about an issue that I think is fundamentally important to what we are seeing now today. And that is what I…

I appreciate the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I know that is true and I know your heart for service, and I know wearing the uniform of the military of the United States meant a lot to you and that your service here means a lot. Mr…

The gentleman from Ohio is absolutely correct. The assertion that it doesn't impact Title IX is completely false. It directly amends Title IV in the Civil Rights Act. It will have a direct impact on educational institutions and would…

I appreciate the gentlewoman from Colorado, and I appreciate our joint commitment to the Lord Almighty and liberty in this country. And I would just say before I yield, I think, to the gentleman from Georgia next, a couple of thoughts. You…

I also have a quote here I was going to close with from Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn because it is so on point. I am going to go ahead and do it now rather than closing with it because you just went there. He said this in another part of that…

I am going to yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania. I would ask the Speaker how much time we have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 16 minutes remaining.

Well, I appreciate the gentlewoman from Colorado. I will tell you, you know, as I was thinking through the times we are in right now, the Book of Acts is my favorite book in the Bible. And when you--you know, I look at the arrows that some…

I would ask how much time we have left in our Special Order. Sorry for surprising the Chair. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 25 minutes remaining.

May I ask how much time I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has 5 minutes remaining.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 205, nays 218, not voting 8, as…

I thank the gentleman for leading this effort. It is so critically important, obviously, to my great home State of Texas, but also to so many States particularly out West and, let's be honest, to all 50 States of the Union. This is so…

About a month ago, 3 weeks ago, I suspended my social media accounts, my personal social media accounts. I did so because social media is pretty much consuming the way we govern. And I will just say, why are we governing by sound bite? Why…

I thank the distinguished gentleman from Missouri for yielding. I enjoyed working with him on the Budget Committee the last 2 years. I wish I was this time. Maybe we will do it in a couple of years. I enjoy working with the distinguished…

I am no longer on the Budget Committee. So will I have the ability to offer amendments?

I would just ask if we might be able to at least meet in private and have discussions about how to restore regular order and offer amendments on the floor because to the distinguished chairman of the Budget Committee that is great to…

Out of an abundance of caution, I decided to remain home due to several days of persistent symtoms. I could not get on a plane to vote on H.R. 335. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 18. MEMBERS RECORDED…

I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. The President of the United States deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly, in my opinion, impeachable conduct, pressuring the Vice President to violate his oath to the…

Today, the people's House was attacked, which is an attack on the Republic itself. There is no excuse for it. A women died. And people need to go to jail. And the President should never have spun up certain Americans to believe something…

I thank the gentleman from Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise to say that we had this great speech by the leader of the Democrat Party about debates and about what we should do in debating on this floor. When will we debate? That is the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 320, nays 60, not voting 49, as…

I thank the gentleman from Mississippi for his great remarks about these wonderful heroes, men and women in uniform who served our country valiantly overseas and here in law enforcement. I had the honor of attending the funeral of a…

To this body, I say enough, enough of the swamp games. The House needn't wait for the powers that be to meet in a dark room and come out and tell us what so-called deal has been cut, whether it is the Speaker, the Treasury Secretary, or…

Let us not play the game. The game in Washington is to clearly target one industry for political purposes...

I hope they do make a profit, but with the caveat that this kind of innovation saved my life...
