If we have folks at the CFPB who think there are folks who are racists and cronyists and discriminating on any other basis at the CFPB, let's find something we can agree on and try and fix that.

The stories that Mr. Green told about the discrimination that minorities face at some banks is a problem, it is real, and it is something we should be doing something about.

I find that absolute unacceptable.

I thank the gentleman from North Carolina. I thank him for doing this. I think it is wonderful that we are having a night designated as the people's night. You would think that we would do that just every day in here, but I think that more…

I think that is an improvement over the legislation, the BDC legislation.

I thank my friend, Mr. Luetkemeyer, and I thank the chairman. What we are up here talking about is a program where the government is trying to put legal businesses out of business--that is what Operation Choke Point is--legal businesses…

We will get equality, Mr. Schweikert. We will have equal access to the swimming pools under this regulation because no one will have the access. That will be the ultimate result here. In an effort to make it accessible to everybody, we…

Listen, I had the same experience as you did, Mr. Schweikert. I was in the Longworth House Office Building a couple years back. You and I wrote a bill together to try to either delay or prevent the DOJ from putting this regulation into…

I would suggest to you, Mr. Schweikert, that you were, in fact, being insensitive: you were being insensitive to the trial bar.

Mr. Schweikert, thank you for the opportunity to talk about this a little bit without the pressures of the 2-minute timer or a 3-minute timer, actually talk about something in detail for a change in this House because it merits the…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from South Carolina will be postponed. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will read. The Clerk read the…

I would like to read a portion of the language we are seeking to strike. It says: ``For an additional amount for `Military Construction Defense-Wide', $212,996,000 to remain available until September 30, 2020.'' So not only are we looking…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Strike p. 62 line 23 thru page 63 line 6. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 223, the gentleman from South…

Unless Mr. Van Hollen has anything to add, I believe the same arguments that we just made on his previous amendment stand for this one, and I reserve the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. Does any Member seek time in opposition?

I have an amendment at the desk. I am moving to strike the second paragraph of title IV. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Strike pg. 62, line 15-22. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Chair, I will repeat what I said earlier on the amendment that was ruled out of order. The BCA is the law. We agreed that it is. I didn't vote for it. By the way, I didn't like it very much and was one of the few…

Further parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman may state his parliamentary inquiry.
