Interesting days in the Capitol. I keep being asked about the metal detector. I was not happy about metal detectors. But for some weeks now, I have been complying, taking my stuff out, putting it on the table, going through the metal…

This is personal to me. I have dedicated so much of my adult life to the Constitution of the United States. If you go back to 1884--it has been cited for about 80 or 100 years even--the Select Committee back in 1884 was taking up the issue…

But the Democrats taking this action, you're telling me, no, when we say those, we actually mean to incite violence.

Here is a quote: ``I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.'' Or, ``Sadly, the domestic enemies of our voting system and honoring our Constitution are right at 1600 Pennsylvania…

Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you've got to go as violent as Antifa and BLM.

It is in writing. It is signed by a Member, but it is not signed and objected to by a Senator, Mr. President. The VICE PRESIDENT. In that case, the objection cannot be entertained. This certificate from Wyoming, the Parliamentarians have…

I object to the electoral votes of the State of Wisconsin because 71 House Members, all of who condemn violence as we witnessed today, are firmly committed to the resolution of disagreements in civil, lawful, peaceful institutions with…

I'm from the government and I'm here to help you is what -- one of the most frightening lines in America. It's no longer a joke.

It is an honor to agree with the comments that have just been made. We do need to come together and provide assistance to the American public, to those who have been so extremely adversely affected, not merely by COVID, but by the, in some…

I thank my Aggie friend and appreciate that shout-out to what sounds like an incredible lady. Mr. Speaker, my friend will be missed here in Congress. We have had some disagreements, but I know his heart and I know he has always wanted what…

I thank my friend, my colleague, and my brother in Christ for yielding and for hosting this Special Order. To follow up on what Congressman Lamborn said, the very first book that the United States Congress authorized to be published at…

At this time it is an honor to yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Walker), my friend that is apparently in his last term in this body. Hopefully, he will be serving in another body. Reflections on the Privilege of Service in…

I thank my friend. He has been a real asset here in the House, and I look forward to more accomplishments in the days to come. Speaking of people I have served with, now she is a Senator, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, very proud of her…

I was shocked how little regard people had in Congress with regard to AIDS spreading through Federal prisons.

We have had an interesting week. Not a lot of critical votes have taken place. It was more of an organizational week we have had here. At the same time, the country's election hangs in the balance. I think it is important to take a step…

I had information from some of our former intel people that there was extremely compelling evidence that could be gleaned from Scytl, that’s S-C-Y-T-L, that is a company headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, that was responsible for…

I agree with my colleagues across the aisle. This should not be a partisan matter. We shouldn't have to be here today. But unfortunately, the Democrats decided to make this partisan. I begged to be allowed to make an amendment because this…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3 of House Resolution 965, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 223, nays 176, not voting 31, as…

I seek to provide a privileged resolution here in the House. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will give notice of his resolution.

H. Res. 1148, raising a question of the privileges of the House. Whereas, on July 22, 2020, H.R. 7573 was brought to the House floor for a vote, with the purpose of eliminating four specific statues or busts from the United States Capitol…

I totally agree. Hopefully, the Department of Justice will continue to come back from the damage that was done through those days.

I thank Mr. Shimkus for the wonderful tribute being paid. We will have to stand up here at some point and pay a wonderful tribute to Mr. Shimkus. Obviously, there is a great deal of trouble going on, a lot of troubled people in this…

An article from the Federalist by Joy Pullman today points out: ``Contrary to corporate media narratives, up to 95 percent of this summer's riots are linked to Black Lives Matter activism, according to data collected by the Armed Conflict…

I thank my friend from Kentucky for yielding. Madam Speaker, look, I am pleased that Democrats here are upset about what has happened to the post office. My regret is, you didn't get upset during the Obama administration when they were…

I can't help but wonder if by keeping a mask on and keeping it in place that if I might have put some germs, some of the virus onto the mask and breathed it in.
