Louie Gohmert

My late mother used to say maybe I should be a college professor because I really do enjoy educating people, and nothing gives me more thrill than to help educate people here on the floor. My friend says that Republicans deny what is…

We are pro-people. They are pro-government, pro- regulation. Let's get back to helping the people, like the 80-year-old lady who lives outside of Carthage who told me she was born with only a wooden stove in her home. She may die with it…

I was in agreement with the President going after IS but not with people we can't trust. Andy McCarthy has a great article here entitled, ``But They Were Really Moderate Beheadings,'' pointing out that the people the President wants to…

I do appreciate all the time and energy that our House Republican leaders have put into this issue, trying to work with the President, but the truth is that, if you look back under this President as Commander in Chief, we trained people in…

The President had made a speech last Thursday night, and it is amazing that he is ready to go after ISIS or ISIL and that the Islamic State is not Islamic as they say they are. It is amazing because, from what I have seen in the…

I have another article that accentuates what my friend from Georgia was saying about our allies not being sure what we are going to do. Unfortunately, our enemies seem to know very well what we are going to do. It is an article published…

There is so much at risk right now in this country, and the President gave us a fine address last night, very interesting. I know some people say, you know, in times of trouble, when the United States is threatened, we need to all get…

At this time I yield to my dear friend from Georgia (Mr. Westmoreland). Honoring S. Truett Cathy

I think it was three Members of Congress, you, me, and Michele, but then there were two FBI agents sitting there, too.

I think it is worth pointing out what concerns many others in the world, and that is the judgment of this administration. As we travel around the world, we have allies who talk to us privately, leaders in countries in the Middle East…

I would like to ask the gentleman a question, if he has time for one, because I am struggling a little bit. Byron York has a good article out, published last night at 11:46, where he points out that there are some real potential problems…

I thank the gentleman. I do appreciate that tribute to a truly great man. Mr. Speaker, at this time I would like to yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Hultgren), my friend, for such time as he may consume.

I do appreciate my colleagues across the aisle talking about the economy and pushing for a raise in minimum wage because that is what a party does after their party has totally devastated the economy. It is what you do after your party's…

The two bills that this rule brings before the House today are critical. I have a resolution here adopted by the County Commissioners' Court and Judge of San Augustine County, and they state the obvious: Be it resolved that San Augustine…

I am glad to yield to anybody that has an answer. Madam Speaker, hearing none, the listener, those who have ears to hear, should take note. This is a serious violation. It is not merely an administrative mistake. This has and will cost…

I want to thank Chairman Sessions. This was a different experience the last few days. I remember the fiscal cliff problem when we were told: Here is your remedy, take it and like it. And they didn't have enough votes so it ended up getting…

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, for yielding. There is a section within the bill, which we just passed, that provides that the Attorney General--who is currently under contempt of Congress--will appoint the 40 new immigration judges…

I am very grateful to my friend for yielding, and I am very grateful for his strong stance on the issue of Israel and just wanted to add an exclamation point to the gentleman's comments. There has been a lot of discussion about Israel…

I would encourage you to be more skeptical in these interviews, without further evidence.

I would submit to you that is what we are talking about. We are talking about people who are paying criminals.

I thank my friend. I am immensely grateful to my friend, Mr. Fortenberry, for bringing this point home. It is a point that has been brought home repeatedly to me in different places in the world. In Afghanistan, where this country helped…

It is my distinct honor to yield to a friend, a colleague, a guy I came in with in the class of 2004, my friend, Mr. Fortenberry.

We are the generation that is engorging ourselves with things we cannot pay for and the future generations will be bound to pay for.

It was Thomas Jefferson that said the natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.

I would like to thank my friend from South Carolina. He understands what is at stake here. I would like to ask him a question if he has got time to answer one question, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask my friend from South Carolina what it…
