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…
Louie Gohmert
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 certainly appreciate my friend, Congressman Cawthorn, holding this because it is important. You know, to some people, it is just about, ``Well, it is the economy. It is an inconvenience.'' Well, that is for rich people, like the…
It seems that the more we talk about giving government more and more power, more and more money to battle evil climate change... it is a matter of giving up more and more private rights and personal rights that the Constitution assured to…
I appreciate Mr. Schweikert's ongoing analyses of the way we mismanage money around Washington, D.C. And I was reading about proposals to go after the billionaires, the mega- rich, and I recall what Ronald Reagan's economist, economic…
It is wonderful to hear that about Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Schweikert). New Spending Initiatives
No, no. I appreciate my friend from Arizona, Mr. Schweikert's excellent analysis, because we do want to have a vibrant economy. As the saying goes, it lifts all boats. And I really appreciate the analysis on where the Medicare spending is…
There are some major, major questions that need to be answered, because we don`t like to see government agents stirring up trouble or find that there are criminal acts that would not likely have occurred had not the federal government been…
Emails--as this headline says from Wendell Husebo--emails show Anthony Fauci scrambled at the beginning of the pandemic to determine the potential U.S. role in funding coronavirus research abroad, and that was because he provided money to…
The night before January 6th, January 5th, that evening, I was talking to Capitol Police officers and I said, you know, let`s face it, most of the conservatives that come, they don`t have any intention of being violent.
Is there anything that the national forest service or BLM can do to change the course of the moon's orbit or the earth's orbit around the sun?
There`s no evidence, as has been said on January 7, that this was an armed insurrection, armed meaning with firearms. There were no firearms.
As I have told my friend--he wears that big shiny Super Bowl ring; he hasn't let me wear it yet--any time he comes to the floor, I will always yield to him. I appreciate anything he has to say. Having talked with Prime Minister Netanyahu…
I was speaking with my friend, Congressman Green. And he is my friend. We have differences on issues, but he is a brother, and, anyway, it is nice to have friends. I appreciated my colleague, Mr. Raskin, pointing to the violence in the…
Look, things have changed a lot since the 9/11 Commission. Back then, we did not have a problem on either side of the aisle condemning anti-Semitic remarks. Now one side has a problem doing that. Back then, we had never, in the history of…
This is a very sad time in America. As was discussed earlier today in debate, we used to have bipartisan agreements on things. One of those was when anti-Semitism was raising its ugly head. One party here on the floor still speaks up…
Here is an article by Tristan Justice: ``April job numbers are so bad, CNBC thought it was a typo.'' Another article: ``New stimulus package: Unemployment benefits, $300 per week extended till September.'' ``America's Vanishing…
There a lot of people that have forgotten apparently about 9/11, 3,000 people killed, the Pentagon was hit. The two World Trade Centers were hit, 1000s died. That was more of an attack on democracy. You know, I just want the President to…
It has been interesting. I get to take my mask off under the rules now. We haven't quite caught up with the science here in the House. The House of Representatives that has leadership proclaiming that we need to follow the science refuses…
Louie Gohmert today on the House floor, suggesting that all the violence and chaos on January 6th that we all saw with our own eyes that police officers have now recounted horrible stories about just wasn't really that bad.
I find myself again perplexed that the majority would have this hearing and not address or even acknowledge the obvious elephant in the room.
It's our policies that are encouraging people to put themselves in these situations where they can be exploited, abused, hurt, or taken advantage of.
It is my honor to yield to the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Cammack). Farmers to Families Food Box Program
It was good to hear the majority leader say this is about politics. We knew that. But for some of us, it is about principle. And if it were about taxation without representation, I would have a slew of Democrats cosponsoring the bill I…
I thank my friend from Florida, who truly is my friend, for her comments. At this time, it is my privilege to yield to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Baird), my friend, a Baird man. Plight of Lakes Shafer and Freeman
