We got horrible news yesterday; for the first time in the United States, over 100,000 people died from illegal drugs. When I got here 6 years ago, that number was 47,000. By comparison, in 12 years, only 58,000 died in the Vietnam War…

Like all other Congressmen, I am sure, my office has received many calls from people objecting to the OSHA rules and the CMS rules related to employees of hospitals. It amazes me, the number of articulate doctors and nurses and other…

I would like one more time to address the reconciliation package. We know that it is a very large spending package and will result in more welfare and, inevitably, we will have to have more taxes which will put a damper on the economy. But…

I haven't seen the Vice President at the border lately. I was down there about a month ago, and I just want to share a few things that I learned down there that maybe somebody else can pass on to her. First of all, when you're at the Yuma…

I would like to use this time to speak for a half hour on a variety of issues, primarily the Build Back Better bill. But first, I would like to address today National Apprenticeship Week. Apprenticeships are a very good way to begin your…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing to address the public health and national security crisis that is veteran and military mental health and suicide.

The purpose of this speech is to encourage America to wake up before the Build Back Better Act passes here. There are so many crises going on in this country. I still believe the number one is the 100,000 people a month flooding the…

It has got to be your number-one goal.

Failure is really not an option. I mean, there are some agencies out there they can probably fool around and our country will continue on, but you guys cannot fail.

I thought it was a good bipartisan hearing without the partisan rancor that you sometimes have.

This is a potentially very black day for America. I want to emphasize some things that I think are very significant that haven't received enough attention. We are paying for the government to care for 3- and 4-year-olds. Traditionally, in…

This could be a very black week for America in that there are rumors that the reconciliation bill will pass. A lot of bad provisions are in there that are bad for the economy, bad for the dollar. But I think the one that is going to have…

I would like to address the Build Back Better bill. Earlier this week the Border Patrol announced that they had found 557 bodies of people who were trying to get into this country last year. That is more than double what it was a year ago…

Over the weekend I attended a University of Wisconsin football game, and for awhile I sat high in the second deck overlooking the campus and the beautiful Lake Mendota. As I stood there looking at over 80,000 people, I wondered what was…

As Congress leaves for the weekend, we have to alert the American public over the potential results of the Build Back Better bill as well as the American Rescue Plan that was already passed. Soon we will be getting our winter heat bills in…

I would like to talk one more time about the reconciliation bill that may be before us very soon. We began this session with a great electoral victory for Black Lives Matter, who on their website said we disrupt the western prescribed…

We want to share that environmental progress with the rest of the world.

It is abhorrent that my colleagues across the aisle have called a so-called hearing today to demonize American industry whose products make modern life possible.

You push patriots too far. You have gone a bridge too far. We won't take it anymore.

I guess the major topic of the week, and should be the major topic of the week, is the infrastructure bill--I am sorry, the reconciliation bill. It is tempting when talking about the reconciliation bill to just talk about the huge amount…

I don’t like the idea of the government taking care of 3- or 4-year-olds.

I would also like to speak on behalf of Congressman Keller's bill. One of the things we do as Congressmen back in our district is constituent work. Probably one of the areas which we are busiest is in the areas of helping our veterans…

A lot has been said about the reconciliation bill that we may or may not vote on. Obviously, the spending is tremendously out of control and will further fan the flames of inflation. There are several provisions in there designed, one more…

Last night on television, I listened as Jen Psaki--I don't know whether it was from yesterday or a replay from something a month ago--wondered why President Biden should go to the border. Having been down there, I want to educate her as to…

I would like to spend some time addressing the Chair and America on the American Rescue Plan or, actually, on the Build Back Better Act, which is kind of a follow-up on the American Rescue Plan. We know the result of that original…
