Louie Gohmert

My friend makes such a great point. I think the way this country has, in recent years, been so discriminatory as has been the United Nations against Christian refugees, I am afraid that this United States of America could be called to…

As I told my friend from Florida, I am honored anytime he comes to the floor to speak because he knows what he is talking about. When I was a judge back in Texas, a young prosecutor also shared his first name, and he is now the DA. He is…

We are off to a fast start this year under the Trump administration. It is difficult, apparently, for some of the press to keep up with how quickly some of the things are going. I did want to make clear something that has been completely…

I thank the gentleman. Great points. And I wish I were as articulate. I have been critical of the majority leader in the Senate, Senator McConnell, but this story is from CNS News. Majority Leader McConnell says: ``Well, I think it's a…

I am so grateful that Representative Chris Smith is a Member of the United States Congress because of his leadership, because of his enormous heart, and his enormous caring. It is amazing--those of us who believe in God--the way our lives…

I am very grateful to Mr. Lance for his great leadership on this issue. And I appreciate the comments of my friend across the aisle, Mr. Doyle. This did pass by voice vote. One can't help but wonder: How many times has this played out that…

It is Thursday evening in the House of Representatives, and I continue to hear friends, fellow Members of the House, and reporters in anguish over the issue of a potential wall between the United States and Mexico; so I thought it was…

I wanted to finish talking about this issue that has been raised about the Russians being such a big threat to our elections. Some of us have been screaming here on Capitol Hill that we need to have security of the Internet. And as part of…

I appreciate so much my friend Mr. Mooney's points. Well made. This administration hasn't turned around health care in America, hasn't seen more choices, people keeping their doctors, keeping their insurance policies they liked. They have…

It is always an honor to be here and, especially, to look out and see some people for whom I have eminent respect in this body. That is a nice thing, being in a body where I actually have respect for the people in the body, a good thing…

It is an honor to be here tonight at the beginning of this new year. It has been great being in east Texas this weekend, last weekend, hearing all of the hope that has arisen as we have entered this new year, 2017. I think it is going to…

Today we took up what was intended to be a very noble action on H. Res. 11 to rein in the out-of-control and outrageous actions of so many despots that occupy positions of authority in the United Nations. The United Nations, whether you go…

We are going to be taking up a resolution that is designed to reflect our discontent with the resolution of the United Nations. I am totally in favor of expressing our discontent. I think we ought to cut our funds to the U.N. until such…

I thank my friend, Mr. LaMalfa for great insights. Such truth. I also was just advised this afternoon that the EPA, apparently in accordance with some frenzied effort to have this administration put as problematic regulations in place to…

I recall being told when that was going on and after it happened that Republicans should not respond, and that we were assured that people who violated the rules back then would be punished. Well, adopting rules now, specific penalties…

It is an honor to get to come into this hallowed Hall and to have a chance to address our peers. It was a rather enjoyable day yesterday, even with all the vitriol, but I was reminded and couldn't help but reminisce a bit and walk a bit…

This is supposed to be our last day in formal session, actual session, of the year. There may be something coming up. I always worry about unanimous consent requests when nobody is here. I know the administration likes to brag that it has…

I will not bow to anyone who may think they have greater love or care or commitment to people who suffer from dementia or other developmental disabilities. I have spent an awful lot of time with people I love. But let me just tell you, Mr…

I am inquiring whether anyone is in opposition to the bill. If not, I would like to claim the time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would inquire if the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee) is opposed to the bill.

I thank the gentleman. And because of all of the glowing comments about Randy, I knew I should not share more than a couple minutes so that there is time at the end. We have heard the old saying that in Washington, D.C., if you want a…

This is a matter we need to get to the bottom of why it happened; so I appreciate your indulgence.

We are still trying to find out the extent of the projects that were affected and any policy decisions that were executed with falsified data.

The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will come to order.

I am a big fan of Chairman Royce's work, and I appreciate all the work of the committee in these difficult areas. Sometimes in trying to bring together a big authorization bill like this, language gets inserted that can be problematic. On…

Today, we will be examining decades of data manipulation that occurred within the United States Geological Survey.
