I thank my friend for being here tonight. I know he was asking rhetorical questions. And for those involved in the riots, let me explain: ``rhetorical'' means it is not looking for an answer back. When he said we weren't making amendments or we didn't do this or that, we weren't doing our job, I know for a fact that that was rhetorical, because the gentleman represents San Antonio and so much of south Texas doing everything he can to make a difference. We can work together if we are allowed and if the rules don't continue to be abused the way they have been. We do need good, trustworthy law enforcement. I think Bill Barr is doing everything he can, but we need a different FBI director. I don't think we are going to get much help there as long as Christopher Wray is there. He is too interested in trying to say the FBI is all well now, when it is not. But nonetheless, I hope we can work together. The country is suffering because we are not allowed to participate. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
