The Public Record
Louie Gohmert is a Republican politician from Texas who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2005 to 2021. During his tenure, he was known for his conservative positions on various issues, including immigration, healthcare, and government spending. Gohmert was a vocal supporter of the Tea Party movement and often aligned himself with more hardline factions within the Republican Party. He was also involved in several high-profile congressional hearings and debates, particularly regarding national security and civil liberties.
I looked at the video anime and was trying to figure it out. I couldn't see it. I am told if you stop it frame by frame, you can see what my Democrat friends are talking about. I couldn't see it. I tried to freeze-frame, and I saw what I…
I certainly appreciate my friend General Bergman for using this time to pay tribute to veterans. I have seen the statistics from an article in 2018, 71 percent of young Americans between 17 and 24 are ineligible to serve in the military…
In recent days, I have been doing some research. In fact, one of the things I was looking at is the average income over the last couple of decades going back to 1991, and this was average annual wage according to the Social Security…
I appreciate my friend from Virginia more than he can ever know, and I am glad he is here. But along the lines of rights that we have had, and that the Constitution has assured, we are finding civil liberties still are being trampled. I…
My friend has such a great point. To have the Attorney General of the United States jump into the issue of disagreements at school board meetings is absolutely astounding. We have record crime, especially in cities controlled totally by…
We are living through interesting times. I understood that was also a curse, ``May you live in interesting times.'' We certainly are enduring that. An article from the New York Post, October 18, 2021, is titled ``Biden secretly flying…
I couldn't agree more. And it is not compassionate to lure people, lure children into this country away from their parents with some hope down the road maybe they get back together. That is not compassionate when you lure people to their…
As my friend has noted, there are so many crises that are going on right now. We have the economy being harmed even more by policies of this administration with the President and all of those working with him and for him demanding that…
I did read results of one study that indicated that if you wear a mask, you are two-tenths of one percent less likely to get COVID. So there is that. There is at least two-tenths of one percent that it is apparently helpful but we don't…
If that is what any area relies on, there are going to be times when you don't have energy, and that means you have to have twice as many transmission lines going from something that you know you can count on to the same users.
I hope you will avoid using securities disclosures to push a left-wing political agenda and recognize that all companies are already required to disclose all material information to investors.
I appreciate the chairman's efforts in regard to this bill. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I urge my colleagues to support this bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
We had a bill today regarding abortion; and when I think about saving lives of innocent babies, one name that comes to mind is Henry Hyde, and another name that comes to my mind is Chris Smith. We have some people that have worked…
I appreciate so much my friend Mr. Smith's dedication to this important--it is not just an issue; it is an important cause. It is so important. We are told in law school that there can be nothing more noble than speaking up for those who…
I appreciate my friend so much. Thank you. I saw a podium out on the steps. There was going to be a great celebration for women. I was a little surprised because I was thinking we weren't supposed to talk about genders like men and women…
I appreciate so much my friend talking about loving the ones alive, the baby, the mother, because so often the focus is only on mothers that have had an abortion and good for them and not on those times when their hearts are deeply broken…
Tonight we paid tribute to the 13 fallen American military who died as Afghanistan was being abandoned by this administration to the Taliban, who are now more powerful than they have ever been, have more equipment than they ever had. What…
We got a couple of calls at the office today. We got numerous calls. But two veterans fighting in Afghanistan wept in the calls about the sacrifices that they made, the friends they had lost fighting in Afghanistan, and the Afghan people…
As has been said earlier by Darrell Issa, it was Rahm Emanuel that pointed out, don't let a good crisis go to waste. So here we have a crisis on our southern border and Afghanistan, and what do we do? The majority comes in here and says…
I thank my friend from Florida for yielding. I was quite shocked at the treatment we received. When people who have oversight and are responsible for voting to fund or not fund Federal facilities like the one we visited, I am not used to…
I thank Mr. Bentz, and I have to give a shout-out to Bruce Westerman as the ranking member on the Natural Resources Committee. This very morning, we had a Republican group, but we couldn't get the whole committee to do it on that very…
I appreciate my friend from Georgia so much for making the effort to stand up for the constitutional rights of Members of Congress not to be detained from getting onto the House floor. We have metal detectors still at each entrance. We…
I appreciate so much those observations. It is so important for everybody to understand, the IRS is feared, and we learn through people like Lois Lerner that it is not always honest, and yet nobody has been held to account. I am hoping…
Politicians like Louie Gohmert
