we ought to be taking a long, hard look at what we are asking our men and women in uniform to do, in particular in Afghanistan.

The extent to which they have political influence, the extent to which that is a destabilizing force in Mexico and along our border is, I think, something that we should take note.

we should be taking a very specific and targeted process of how we are targeting the cartels.

if we were to do our job as a country, instead of wasting time through political shenanigans as we have been seeing unfolding heavily over the last there months, then we would secure the border of the United States.

And, moreover, to one solution that has been a failed battle cry because Palestinians have perpetually failed to come to the negotiating table to pursue it in good faith. How peace is reached in the Middle East begins and ends with actual…

I thank the gentleman from New York for his leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, I would remind the body that, 2 years ago today, President Trump said this in the Diplomatic Room in the White House: ``Today, we finally acknowledge the…

Do you agree that it would be wrong for us to be, as Washington often is, arrogant in our wisdom as to think that the Government and its selected representatives, a bureaucracy, is the only institution equipped to intervene in the most…

It would be irresponsible for us to not allow others to come in and to participate in a highly structured grant program to bring other possible life-saving solutions to the table?

I am supportive of Dr. Roe's and General Bergman's compromise that allows us, as you said in an earlier question, to open that space up to unique services and unique partnerships.

Do you agree with me that some veterans do not seek care out of concern that they might lose their Second Amendment rights?

It is a gap of service, care, and suicide prevention that the VA is unable to meet or fill on its own at this time?

I thank my friend from Texas for those inspiring remarks about our mutual friend, the former Governor of Texas, although he will always be the Governor of Texas in our hearts. I know he will appreciate those sentiments. As someone who--my…

I thank my friend from Texas for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Taylor), who represents the town in which my lovely bride grew up, Plano, Texas.

I thank my friend from Texas for joining us here this evening and lauding the service and accomplishments of Governor Perry, Secretary Perry. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Olson), my former colleague in the United…

I thank my friend from Texas for those great remarks about the Governor. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Burgess).

I thank my colleague from Texas. I know that he appreciates the Governor's military service because he, too, is a veteran. I thank him for his service, and I thank him for the kind remarks for the Governor. I know he will cherish and…

I thank my friend for those kind remarks. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Williams), my friend.

I am here tonight with a number of my colleagues from Texas because Governor Rick Perry, as we Texans refer to him, will be stepping down in a few weeks as the Secretary of Energy of the United States of America. I have had the honor of…

I also want to say a few remarks quickly about my friend and former boss, and the former Governor of the State of Texas, Rick Perry. He is going to be ending his service as the Secretary of Energy, I believe at the end of this month. He is…

I would make only one other point in my remaining 20 seconds. I heard the distinguished majority leader talking about the whistleblower. We are in the middle of the Nation focusing on what the House of Representatives is doing, and the…

we have got to have reforms to so-called entitlement spending, Social Security and Medicare and so forth.

the idea that countries that borrow on their own currency can't get into trouble I think is just wrong.

I happen to believe that regardless of who is in the White House, Congress should reclaim its authority.

this is a very tiny number of people compared to the whole universe of people who are actual immigrants to the country.

I will reiterate what I said in a hearing last week, that, obviously, our continued prayers are with the family of Chairman Cummings and with his staff.
