Floor Speeches
Issa spoke on the floor 11 times on 8 session days in the 119th Congress.
- House, July 22, 2026, 138 wordsHonoring Bill Horn
I thank the Speaker for noting that disparaging the President is not appropriate for this House.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 22, 2026, 697 wordsNational Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027
We are in changing times. The ongoing battles, both in Iran and in Ukraine, have taught us an important lesson. That is that large, long- term vendors for production of innovative tools don't work together. The lead time is too long. The requirement for us to innovate at the Department of War simply isn't working.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 2, 2026, 44 wordsPermission to Postpone Proceedings on the Vote on Adoption of H. CON. RES. 86 Until June 3, 2026That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗
- House, June 2, 2026, 381 wordsTransfer of Land Into Trust for the Pechanga Band of Indians
This is not the first or the second time the Pechanga have reached out to expand these historic and ancestral lands and to preserve them. We have a long track history now of the Pechanga Indians taking into trust and improving the lands that they have purchased or that are transferred.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, March 4, 2026, 375 wordsDirecting the President Pursuant to Section 5(C) of the War Powers Resolution to Remove United States Armed Forces From Unauthorized Hostilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Before I begin, in addition to the disparaging of the President, the previous speaker implied that this was about money from defense contractors. Shame on anyone who would say that.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 11, 2026, 641 wordsRelating to a National Emergency by the President on February 1, 2025
I am going to slightly drift off, but not really leave this point.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, January 8, 2026, 188 wordsIn Remembrance of the Honorable Doug Lamalfa
A lot can be said about my friend and colleague, my Western Caucus chair, but today was a special day for us. We had lunch today as California members, and Doug paid for it because every week somebody sponsors it. His death was so sudden that it literally had been prepaid.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, November 18, 2025, 260 wordsEpstein Files Transparency Act
A minute and a half or an hour, the words would still have to be the same. We have all said that this will pass the House, perhaps unanimously, today.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 17, 2025, 414 wordsDepartment of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026
In closing, the gentleman from Florida is entitled to his opinion. It is an opinion he has brought to us not once, but multiple times. Each time this body has voted down, on a broad bipartisan basis, this amendment.
