I do appreciate the words of my friend from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx), and she has an amendment that is going to help a lot of folks in my district. Mr. Speaker, I continue to hear some people say that they think Robert Mueller is going to…
It is an important day for people who knew and loved the three individuals who were being held improperly by North Korea. They have now been released due to the negotiations with our prior colleague Mike Pompeo--our, now, Secretary of…
It is always an honor to speak here, and especially to follow friends--very dear friends--hear Steve King talk about the importance of life. I know there is historical accounts in the Old Testament when it talked about different kings and…
Coming from my friend, a wise man from New York, I appreciate that very much. And I appreciate the effort in securing the whole hour for all of us to talk about this issue. It really is a matter of wide-eyed justice. The blindfold was…
I appreciate my friend so much, bringing back the account of what happened. And I can remember--I majored in history in college--reading about General Eisenhower ordering American troops, Allied troops, to go gather people from the German…
I just would appreciate it if you would make it more extensive than one pilot program. It is a huge problem and apparently people are getting killed at the direction of people within prisons from what we read and hear.
It has been an interesting week here. I always appreciate following people speaking who want to limit waste in our Federal Government. I only heard a little snippet, but it caught my ear. I heard something mentioned about EPA Director…
I come into the conclusion of a very interesting day and week. Our current Speaker of the House, of course, has announced that he is not going to be seeking reelection. I think he made it clear before he was elected Speaker that he really…
A very tragic thing occurred for those of us who care about constitutional rights yesterday. It is a continuation of the travesty that is coming out of the so-called special counsel Robert Mueller. I am not aware of anybody else in the…
It is always an honor to address this Hallowed Hall, sometimes more hallowed than others, but today was a bit of a sad day for some of us. The Federalist reported the headline: Congress Rushes Towards Spending Vote to Prevent a Shutdown…
John Adams said this Constitution is 'for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate' for governing any other.
So, it does not matter how many people he threatened, how many chairs he threw, how many people he struck or assaulted. None of that ends up in the criminal background check unless there is an arrest, correct?
With so much going on these days in the way of investigations, we still have Robert Mueller, special counsel--of course, he was supposed to look into potential illegal collusion between President Trump and Russia, and it has morphed into…
I thank my friend and greatly appreciate a moment to speak. I guess to borrow a bit from Shakespeare's account of what Marc Antony said: I come not to bury Marcy Kaptur, but to praise her. I got to know Marcy back during the economic…
It is nice when we can talk across party lines about someone's excellent level of service. It has been an honor and privilege to serve with Marcy Kaptur my 13 years here in Congress. Unfortunately, I want to move from talking about someone…
I think, over the course of time, liquid natural gas would be a bigger player.
I thank my friend for putting this together. The loss of Billy Graham to this country, to this world, is more profound than any lips can ever express. As Ted mentioned, he was born in 1918, and married Ruth in 1943. What a dynamic couple…
I want to thank my colleagues for such great words of encouragement. I was hearing it all across east Texas as I was all over the district this past week. People are encouraged when it comes to the economy. People are feeling better about…
We also know that drug cartels' estimated about $80 billion or so last year that they brought in that has done massive damage on the rule of law in Mexico.
And when we put up a sign that, to me, is the most repugnant thing we can do to American citizens that says, look, basically, drug cartels have taken over our park, you will be safer if you don't use this area, go north of I-10, that is…
I would just suggest to you, that, hopefully, we will do as the Secret Service found when they raised the wall and the fence around the White House by 5 feet, fences and walls work.
I certainly thank my new friend, Mr. Leonard Lance, from New Jersey for his great help in marshaling this bill, and I appreciate the bipartisan support. I understand there is another element regarding location and there is some…
I thank the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. King), my dear friend, for all of his work in this area; not just his work, but his leadership. I know his heart beats with a desire to make sure that any heart beating is protected. {time} 2100 I heard…
It is nice to have the United States economy starting to win again. It was a great tribute to the President's leadership that we got a tax bill done that is already reaping fantastic benefits for so many across the country. It is rather…
