mr. gohmert, for 30 minutes. mr. gohmert: mr. speaker, today, we took up what was intended to house ry noble action on resolution 11, to reign in the so of-of-control actions of any despots who occupy positions in the united nations. the united nations, whether you go back to libya being in charge of human rights -- you have u.n. troops molesting so many females, there are all kinds of problems that have been wrought and the u.n. has the gall to continually show how big on thed is how anti-jewish, anti--israeli that it is. it's easy to find, if anyone bothers to check, that the nited nations never asked once to pony uper country land, and much less demand that other countries like jordan, who is a good friend of the united states, but the u.n. never said, look, you are occupying this land that they call palestine, so you ought to give it up. never did. until it was controlled by the israeli people. thus making clear, this is -- y a big on thed move bigotted move by the u.n. to slam the nation of israel. also, one wants to conduct

mr. gohmert, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker. we're off to a fast start this year under the trump administration. and it's difficult, apparently, for some of the press to keep up, how quickly some of the things are going. did want to make clear something that has been completely muddled by the mainstream media, they keep wondering why they continue to se out to news channels like x news and why some of the conservative news sources online do so well compared to the left wing. and it's because people, a majority of people really are seeking truth. really are seeking answers. and i realize that's not true for everywhere. e areas that hillary clinton won, basically real gated to the edges, the fringes, of the country, around the coasts and southern valley, the, you know, chicago, detroit, some of those areas. it's the fringe party. anyone, with one, the least amount of just even a small modicum of fairness looks at the actual executive order that donald trump issued, it seems imminently reasonable whe

mr. gohmert: i appreciate mr. mooney's points. well made. this administration hasn't turned around health care in america and hasn't seen more choices, people keeping their doctors, keeping their insurance policies they like. they have seen deduct i believe so skyrocket so that so many eople across america, that $5,000, $7,000 deductibles, we never had high deductibles like that before and that meant they weren't going to get insurance help and totally on their own and every single payment they made even if they got subsidies from the federal government was for nothing. they got no help. they could never come up with enough money in one year to meet the deductible so the insurance would start paying in. what's most's griegeous that apparently we found out that much of this was would happen efore people had obamacare forced on to them. and then in the last week, we ve had this story from the "washington times" finding out that the i.r.s. prioritized their role in obamacare over taxpayer customer service. that's what their own inspector genera

mr. gohmert, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority party. mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you. it is an honor to be here tonight. eginning of this new year. it's been great being in east texas this weekend, last all the hope ng that has arisen as we've entered this new year, 2017. i think it's going to be a good year. i'm told that just on the basis of a new president coming in, who's promising to throttle back, remove so much of the heavy iron boot off the throat of the economy, that firms are starting to hire again, businesses are making plans to expand and grow. and then we're seeing the reports of plants that are decided to stay in the united states instead of going elsewhere. there's a lot of optimism out there. there are young people that are asking what it was like back when you came out of college and had multiple job opportunities for most of the people coming out of college. instead of opportunities to live with your parents or your grandparents or a parent or the other parent. they actually had multiple job opportunities. .

mr. gohmert is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. gohmert: thank you, madam speaker. might say, it is great seeing you in the chair, madam speaker. you're a natural fit. maybe we can do something about that at some point. it's great. it is an honor to speak in 24 -- speak in this hallowed hall and there has been much ado made about contrived misrepresentations about what's going on with president trump's executive order regarding seven countries that the obama administration designated as being problems when it comes to refugees coming from those countries. and it's been absolutely incredible and i think some of us were talking, it really exemplifies why networks like n that was the one, the only 24-hour cable news network, have ost so much to other networks. nbc, cnbc, and even fox news t caught up in some of the misrepresentations and i couldn't believe that they were spending the kind of time talking about a contrived issue. now, there was a problem in some innocent people being delayed and improperly handled. people that didn't de

mr. gohmert, for 0 minutes. wsh for 0 minutes. . gohmert: mr. gohmert: yes, sir. it's thursday evening in the use of representatives and fellowe to hear friends, , mbers of the house reporters in anguish over the issue of a potential wall toward the united states and mexico. so i thought it was worth looking at some information about mexico, our closest neighbor to the south. and data should be reese ent. they have gotten 120 million people in mexico gross domestic trillion in 2.1 pesos, 2.1% growth -- terrible. t's about like the obama economy. $117,000 come, around per capita. -- 0.1%. , 1. but you look at the economics of mexico in the world and you think, wow. u look at their resources, extraordinary resources. just extraordinary resources. and we know they have hardworking people, because we know from the people of mexico that have come to the united states, people constantly indicate, gee, their best workers we have, these hardworking folks from mexico. you have hardworking people in the nation of mexico. you've got incredible natural resources that have nev

mr. gohmert: i thank the gentleman from south carolina bill, butrely for the this gentleman's bills, just like the reasoned argument made here in this chamber, well reasoned, well thought out. having sat and listened to so many lawyers during my years on the bench, both trial bench and appellate bench, i would have welcomed the opportunity to hear from my friend from south carolina in any courtroom where i was sitting. but well reasoned. a lot of good research in trying to solve problems. i look forward to a lot of us reading that bill and finding out -- because there's no doubt involved just as good a reason as you were used in your argument here today. i also heard from another colleague of ours, don young, honorable don young from alaska. and i'm actually optimistic about so many things with this president in oval office now. and one of them is that our friend, don young, in alaska, may finally get some help. president carter had identified an area that really didn't have any wildlife to speak of. yes, it was part of the arctic national wildlife area, but it was an area that really did

mr. gohmert: thank you, mr. speaker. we're going to be taking up a resolution that's designed to reflect our discontent with the resolution of the united nations. i'm totally in favor of expressing our discontent. i think we ought to cut off funds to the u.n. until such time as resolution 2334 is repealed. but the resolution today at four different places refers to our push in the united states for a two-state solution in israel. hebron was in the place of the promiseland. david ruled there for seven years. hebron is part of the two-state solution going to the palestinians. how do the palestinians deserve the land that was given as a promise land 1,600 years before mohammed even existed? i can't vote for the resolution when we're advocating what joel 3 says will bring judgment down upon our nation for trying to partition israel. can't do it. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous conse
