I just hope and pray that maybe one of the results of this hearing will be that people in Arizona will have the same choice as the Navajo Nation has been able to have.

I thank my friend from College Station for the profound tribute to a great man, great people. It has been an interesting week. Our President is headed for the Middle East, and it has gotten rather vitriolic, condemnation of our President…

I appreciate even more the jobs that you do and serving people and your cities and the country.

This emphasis on people in Federal prison for simple possession... my experience was that if there was nothing but simple possession, the Feds left that to the State for prosecution.

I have seen it from a lot of different angles.

I felt like the consent decrees were being used to federalize local police departments.

I do not believe, has Houston been under a consent decree? I did not think you had.

Well, Sheriff McDonnell, I get the impression that is not someplace you wanted to be either, right?

On Friday, so many say TGIF. My late mother passed away in 1991, but she said TGIF one time, and the lady responded, S-H-I-T, and mother looked shocked. She said: ``Sorry, honey, it's Thursday.'' But this is not Thursday, it is Friday, and…

It has been interesting hearing about a situation in the country--and it is amazing how some of us can look at the same thing and see very different situations. I know there are some that think we should stay in session all the time, but…

President Trump recently signed an executive order that made abundant sense for those who are in the world of common sense where good sense is common, which at least is not the case in the Federal courthouse in San Francisco. Our friend…

It is always a privilege to be in this last bastion of civility. Sometimes it hasn't been all that civil, but it has been a place where the rules were supposed to be enforced. I know there are all kinds of wild allegations being thrown…

For 8 years, the Obama administration was continually pushing the supposition that far too many low-level, non-violent drug offenders were being investigated and prosecuted and imprisoned federally.

I never removed the painting; I felt like that should be left for those in authority, who would make the decision.

Well, we have a President who had promised; you may have heard something about it; some call it a wall.

If we secured the border with a wall where it is possible and really got serious about securing the border...

I just find it difficult to imagine, given the profit that is to be made, that we could turn it down to zero.

It seems to me, when you look at Mexico, they have some of the hardest working people in the world.

It is amazing. Yet, at the same time, toward the end of last year, we had an Israeli writer, fantastic writer, Caroline Glick, writes for the Jerusalem Post.

It is indeed a pleasure to follow my good friend from Iowa, Steve King. I know Mr. King cares deeply about America. He not only cares deeply, but having been in the private sector in business where he, like our President, was involved in…

It has been an interesting few weeks here in Washington, and we are not done with healthcare legislation. There has been a lot of talk about that, but, Mr. Speaker, I would like to say, I have been encouraged as today has worn on. We had a…

I certainly thank my friend from Florida for such a compelling tribute to a great American hero. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I yield to my friend, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Davidson). Welfare BRAC Act

I do thank my friend from Georgia (Mr. Woodall) for his able presentation on this very good bill and our colleague, Mr. Smith. I am sorry to change the subject back to something that is relevant, material, and germane. By the way, I am…

At this time, I yield to my friend, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Gaetz). Honoring the Dedicated Service and Selfless Sacrifice of Sergeant First Class Robert R. Boniface

It has been an interesting couple of days. We heard from our President, and that was a great privilege this morning to hear from him at our Conference. We were reminded what an amazing victory President Trump had last November. Some said…
