cohen: thank you mr. roy, if you come back with your thought i will give you an opportunity to express that answer. ms. ross has time, mr. rand skin, iac can but i will recognize ms. ross because she has a john kennedy pitcher in this frame and i think is to raskin is having cleanup. you are recognized for five-minute. mrs. ross: thank you mr. chairman and i wanted mr. raskin to know i got my copy of vogue magazine today with a big feature on him and his book and family. he is not only an excellent member of the community but a celebrity in vogue so congratulations to him for that. i also want to thank everybody who came to testify today and this is such an important issue. right now, it is front of mind for the american people because of what is going on on the senate side, but in north carolina, it has been front of mind for centuries. i am a formal -- former civil rights attorney -- and i have witnessed firsthand the efforts to reduce the power of minority voters in my home state through racial gerrymander

mr. roy, how do we plow it? mr. y: all i would say is, if we want an economy that is strong, stop spending money we don't have and fund a bureaucracy. if you want a nation that saves, stand with your cops. if you want a military end the woke diswruks of our military. you won't a border that is secure, secure it. turn people away and detain them and stop the control of our borders by cartels that are endangering the american people. mr. perry: i thank my colleagues. i yield the balance, thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time pursuant to section 1 of house resolution 1230, the house stands adjourn ♪ ♪ announcer: c-span is your unfiltered view of government. funded by these television companies and more, including wow. >> the world has changed. today fast, reliable internet connection as something no one can live without. wow is there for our customers with speed, value, reliability, and choice. now more than ever, it all starts with great internet. wow. announcer: wow supp

mr. roy: yep. mr.erry: but i don't have to stand for election so you think this one's bad, if you think all the things mr. roy has outlined that are in this one, more money for covid when there's no more pandemic. so says the president of the united states. if you think that's bad, just wait until these folks don't have to stand for election in december. right? we're saying, if we're going to fund a package, first of all, it has to fix these things. first of all, it has to fix these things. and second of all, send it into the next term. so that the people's voice can be heard after november's election. but that's not going to happen. that's not going to happen. there's no way, as my good friend from texas says, not one more penny. not one more penny to support these failed policies, these policies that go against the people that are governed by this town. i yield. mr. roy: i want to credit our leader, mr. mccarthy, for yesterday saying that he also believes that it would be wrong for my republican coll

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas, mr. roy, is recognized. mr. roy: i thank the speaker, i thank the ranking member and i thank the chair. all i want to say is there are a number of bills here that pertain to the veterans affairs committee jurisdiction. i support a number of those bill, maybe not a couple of them. i appreciate that we're having them down here. as many people know, the house freedom caucus and other colleagues have been raising the issue that we should debate, amend on different issue, have a different conversation about how the floor operates so we continue to require a roll call votes on a number of bills that might otherwise pass by voice. but in doing so it's not a statement necessarily always on the content of the legislation in question. and we'll be make some roll call votes this afternoon. i want to make sure as a member of the veterans affairs committee, i make clear my support for a number of these measures which will obviously be clear in the roll call vote later. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yiel

mr. roy offered an amendment to prohibit appropriated funds from being used to promote critical race theory and one to require funds to be used to enforce antitrust laws as defined in the clayton act. mr. fitzgerald offered one to prohibit funds from being used for nonenforcement activities. mr. bishop offered one to limit the scope of the bill only to -- to only apply to mergers involving large technology companies. all of these failed on party lines. and i can't understand why unless my colleagues on the left want to encourage the f.t.c. to get involved in issues outside of its purview. the f.t.c. is out of control thunder administration and cannot be trusted with these additional resources. h.r. 7780 misses the mark. republicans are committed to addressing the mental health crisis facing young people in the country. unfortunately, this bill is another one size fits all proposal that fails to provide local leaders with the flexibility they need to address the unique problems they face. repu

mr. roy: i thank the speaker, my friend from texas. i listened to my colleagues talking about the politicization of how we deal with federal employees. the fact is the bureaucracy has never been more politicized than it is today. this bill is the federal bureaucrat protection act. that's what this. is let's be 100% clear. this is about leftists in this body wanting to protect the entrenched leftists in the bureaucracy, undermining the will of the american people every single day. that's what it's about. we don't want to allow the people running the agencies to go in and fire people who are either not doing their job, completely violating their ethics at the desk or frankly, are going right against the law or the will of the american people. look no further than the department of homeland security which is turning a blind eye to our border. look no further than and f.b.i. targeting parents for daring to challenge school boards. that's what your federal bureaucracy is doing. all these charges being he vied saying this is about hate going

i know mr. roy walker you mentioned specifically it will be helpful to increase the already oversubscribed 9% tax credit, lower the threshold for private activity bonds, from 50% to 25%, as well as making important reforms to allow the 4% credit to more easily be used and for rehab projects. increasing the housing supply, using these tax credits, as we have seen has translated into better economic activities, a better quality of life. as one real world example, if you allow me, of the difference these tax credits make in people's lives, walker and dunlap recently fun financing an apartment complex in portland, oregon, called panting wood. under-percent of the units in canning woods, were restricted to 60% of the area median income. something made possible with. canton wood is a walkable transit oriented project close to a light rail station. that's just one example. we have many many examples from where we see it there are other benefits of lihtc including, as mr. robert mentioned, very low cumulati

when i pointed this out my friend mr. royf texas, who is by far the most articulate and able defender of this doctrine, concedes that i am right about the constitution, but shift over to talk about the declaration of independence, which i cheerfully concede is a revolutionary document, and explained why, after a long train of abuses by the crown and parliament, they needed to resolve the political demand of union with england, that is the whole point, we are governed by the constitution, which is positive law, and nowhere does it grant a right of insurrection, it opposes it in every turn, as a matter not of constitutional law but natural law, people can decide to overthrow their government, but you do that on your own time, at your own risk, the constitution did not give you the right to destroy the constitution, and the government. another way to understand this point is to think about nonviolent civil disobedience, even nonviolent civil disobedience is not protected by our constitution, dr. king went to jail because they be

mr. newhouse. was already very impressed with donald trump. he used it. very impressive donald trump because his best friend was the notorious lawyer boy cohn and roy cohn said you got to you got to do something with this trump fellow because he's a cover he built the trump tower remember that this is in the 8687 period so psy took me along to meet with mr. trump. there was no agent and no lawyer. and trump was so flattered that mr. newhouse a very sort of eminent figure in the world of arts letters would come to his office. he agreed to immediately to a book contract. and the book became art of the deal. there was a writer named tony schwartz or had already pitched a book to trump. and that was the book. and when it came out in december of 87 it event immediately to the top of the best cellist stayed there for six months sold a million copies a million copies clean and of course everybody was already saying well trump bought the cops. i can tell you trump doesn't buy his own book. you know, it's just not made that way. so it was a huge triumph and it certainly launched donald trump as a national figure. and one story i always tell because it's really releva

cowboys for trump, roy griffin to be removed from his position as county commission, he's been convicted of participating in the january 6th riot. the court concluded that january 6th, 2021, mr. griffin became disqualified under section 3 of the 14th amendment from serving. accord together the department of justice, griffin was there on the capitol steps, well within the restricted area on january 6th when he made this video. >> the people have shown that they've had enough. the people are ready for fair and legal elections, or this is what you're going to get. you're going to get more of it. >> this is what you're going to get and you're going to get more of it. this is, though, a history making decision by this judge. the last time a public official was removed based on this clause of the 14th amendment was in 1869. that is according to the liberal watch dog group which took part in the lawsuit. griffin tells vice news, quote, all they're doing with me is laying the groundwork to do this with other people including president trump. that is the big question tonight, whether the history making move in new mexico, the county commissioner, is this the butterfly flapping its wi

mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. and i rise in strong support of s. 4191. this bill, which was introduced by senator roy blunt, passed the senate by unanimous consent. it would establish a term of 10 years for the director of the government publishing office. unlike the heads of other legislative branch agencies, like the architect of the capitol, the comptroller general, and the librarian of congress, the senate confirmed director of the government publishing office has no defined term. now, the government publishing office, or g.p.o., as we often refer to it, is one of the true treasures of the legislative branch. since it was founded in 1891, it has grown from a modest operation to one of the world's largest and most renowned information organizations. every day g.p.o. provides the government and public both conventionally printed products like the congressional record and passports and digital services like ebooks, digitaling publishing, dish digital publishing and more, over the course of the past several years, we've seen firsthand of effective leadership at g.p.o. the covid-19 pandemic caused the
