since 2008 when i got elected to the texas house.'m pleased to announce that the independent petroleum association of america endorses this legislation put forth by house republicans aimed at reining in the administration's misuse of the s.p.r. s.p.r. was not intended to be used as a political tool to bring down gasoline prices in an election year. next thing you know the president will give away free college tuition. oh, he did that, too. this is a band-aid on the overarching situation. the long-term solution is to enhance rather than hinder america's oil and gas production. our true domestic natural gas and oil from production to the supply chain is ready to work. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: i yield myself 30 seconds, mr. speaker. it's certainly no surprise that the oil industry would support this bill because this bill does absolutely nothing to prevent them from selling to china, to russia, and all our adversaries. only 2%

texas. have white house officials responded to any of the criticisms, including that he didn't meet with my migrants while there? >> reporter: yeah, you know, it was really notable that the president, of course, has come under intense pressure for months and months to physically go down to the border himself and see with his own eye ts situation that is unfolding there. and he, of course, did spend a lot of time with border officials, local leaders, community leaders, and then he visited this migrant aid center. but it seemed just like a notable mission that he didn't get to spend any time with migrants, either at the center or even just along the motorcade route. the scenes that we have been seeing reported by some of our colleagues over the last few weeks, those were scenes that the president didn't seem to see and an administration official told me this was purely coincidental. jake sullivan said he was really focused on seeing and meeting with groups who are providing essential services to these migrants. of course we are seeing this white house trying to balance seeming stronger on the

texas desperate. we need more money. i know the republicans in the u.s. house have committed to providing texans the money that we need. we just finished over the past two years spending $4 billion in texas, taxpayer dollars for texas to fill the gap caused by the biden administration. we're starting a session next week on, you know, that we will add another $4 billion to secure the border, to enforce the multifaceted. we are not just texans for the city of el paso. the current governor of colorado, governors of other states, the leaders of other communities. we have removing microsoft. and it is because we don't have the capability to handle self-declared sanctuary cities with massive resources like guns in washington, d.c. they have the capacity to deal with this far more than el paso, but even more and more than del rio and eagle pass and all the other tiny communities on the border are going to being overwhelmed by the presence of illegal policies that people are turning this into an overall situation. what's it what's in the letter is a start by telling that, you know, he's going two years and about $20 billion to

so, then, the senator from texas said to the, white house i've got his younger brother. take him.finn sent him up. they gave tom clark initially something of a lackey job in the department of justice. but clark worked his way up. what he may have lacked in perhaps academic ability, he certainly made up for in work ethic. he became chairman's attorney general and became very successful in being an aggressive attorney general. in part because he recognized that he was not the best lawyer in the building. so, what he did was manage the department of justice and say, what can we do to advance the administration's agenda? now, we expect that of our attorneys general. the president certainly expects it of the attorney general. but at the time, prior to that, the attorney general had generally been kind of what we think of now, what these lawyers think of now, as a solicitor general. as an exceptional lawyer with impeccable credentials. now, you can get someone in there like president trump had to senator jeff sessions in there. carrying out his agenda. and president george w. bush had a

joining us gabe gutierrez in el paso, texas, and white house correspondent mike memoli in mexico city. president biden didn't meet with migrants during his border visit yesterday. how is the white house explaining that? there's been criticism. >> yeah. aaron, it's interesting we heard from our colleague kristen welker who spoke with two administration officials who really cast this essentially as a coincidence that president biden, when he went to the migrant processing center, there weren't any migrants there. he would have been happy to have the opportunity to meet and discuss issues with him. a few hours later we heard from another official, the national security adviser jake sullivan, who said this was never part of the plan. the purpose was for the president to hear from the border patrol agents, local officials, nongovernmental and faith leaders helping to deal with the humanitarian crisis to help him form his thinking as he came to mexico last night for the meetings ahead here. what we've seen from the white house over the last four days is a sustained focus on immigration we h

joining me right now is texas congressman and member of the house energy committee, dan crenshaw.sman, it's great to see you. thanks so much for being here. critics say biden tapped that spr as an election stunt to bring down gasoline prices right before the midterm elections, and now we're sitting at historic lows. you're trying to prevent that from happening again. tell the us about it. >> right. well, the spr act that was passed, it does a very simple hinge that shouldn't be controversial. it says if you're going to take out of the spr, you've got to have a plan to replenish it, a plan to actually lease federal land for drilling, you've got to have a plan for production so that we can refill it. this should not be controversial. the democrats are acting like this is the craziest thing ever. they're the extremists. is -- the spr is meant for emergencies and, by the way, has a minimalfect on gas prices. -- minimal effect. he's wrong about selling it to china, about use iting, and he's wrong to veto this bill. it should be bipartisan. we're just trying to solve problems here to re

that happened in austin, texas, in a waffle house about a year ago, someone caught it on video, pretty amazing. here it is. even by the standards of waffle house brawls, this got zany. at one point someone threw a chair at a waffle house employee. here's the amazing thing. that employee effortlessly batted the chair away like wonder woman with her bullet-proof bracelets. you're seeing that on your screen right now. naturally we wanted to speak to this cool-headed waffle house employee, known as waffle house wendy, and her real name is haley booth. thank you so much for coming on. you were not intimidated. the tape proves it at all, when a lunatic waffle house diner threw a chair at your head. how did you remain so calm? >> i really don't know. umm, it was -- it all happened so fast. it was mainly a pure rush of adrenaline and instinct that had me going. >> has anyone thrown a chair at you before? >> i mean, kids get rowdy in middle school, but not directly at me. >> yeah. good. that speaks well of the country. how did waffle house -- i'm watching this. i don't think i've seen an employ

the clerk of the house: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas rise? >> mad yucca mountain clerk, i rise to nominate-d-d mad yk clerk, i rise to nominate a unifier, not a divider, hakeem jeffries for speaker of the united states house of representatives. the clerk of the house: the gentlewoman is recognized. >> we are on day four, the 13th vote, and house democrats continue to stand united with hakeem jeffries, with him and for him, because he is a uniter not a divider, and a positive force of nature. two days ago during the fourth, fifth, maybe the sixth roll call a nominator claimed this process should not be considered dysfunction. madam clerk, their process didn't begin this week. they have had months to figure this out. and americans should have profound concerns about what this portends. ms. escobar: as we gather here in this chamber on this solemn day, the second anniversary of january 6, when members of law enforcement were under siege, when there was an attempted coup, an insurrection that will live in infamy what we lived through was an assaul

texas yields. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 400. those in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair -- for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. williams: i request a recorded vote. the speaker pro tempore: request the yeas and nays? mr. williams: yes. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays are requested. all those in favor of taking this vote by the yeas and nays will rise. a sufficient number having arisen, yeas and nays are ordered pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this question will be postponed. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? ms. tenney: mr. speaker, i move that the house suspend the rules and pass house concurrent resolution 7 as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the concurrent resolution. the clerk: concurrent resolution commending the bravery, courage and resolve of the women and men of iran demonstrating in more than 133 cities and risk their safety to sp

two house members, texas republican pat fallon and florida democrat debbie wasserman schultz each outverybody else was losing money they were raking it in. congratulations are order for fallon and wasserman schultz but where did this success come from? did wasserman schultz suddenly become the oracle of orlando? was she privileged to some inside information when she was dnc chair? well, maybe it wasn't even wasserman schultz making the trades. her husband could be looking at his own paul pelosi situation. he's a banker named steve schultz. and he's got quite the history. in 2017 he was accused of trying to steal a 70-year-old man's house reportedly telling him, quote: i will destroy you. i have the power. doesn't that sound familiar, a d.c. power player cashing in while the country struggles? pelosi is on the way out. is wasserman schultz the new nancy? she's connected. her husband is a banker with some magic fingers. so congratulations debbie, you beat the system when everybody else lost. or maybe you cheated. why do men think they can do just about anything? ♪ get down on it ♪ come
