This is my first opportunity to serve as the dean of the Tennessee delegation, and it didn't come too soon. Time is running out.

Today, we celebrate 901 Day--a day to celebrate Memphis, Tennessee, and the people who make the city the great city that it is.

Mr. Hegseth said we have spent $37 billion on an unnecessary--he didn't say an ``unnecessary'' war, but it is an unnecessary and failed war in Iran--$37 billion and lost 17 soldiers. He says he is going to ask for another $70 billion to fight this unnecessary and failing war.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, July 14, 2026, 181 wordsNegative Consequences of President Trump's Tax Cuts
My friend, Mr. Wilson, made some remarks about how everybody benefited from the big, beautiful bill.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 4, 2026, 101 wordsUkraine Support Act
Much has been said which I agree with on the Democratic side. This is a fight for supporting a country that is standing up to aggression from Russia; lies from Russia that they weren't going to invade Ukraine when they did it; and people who have killed innocent children, women, and civilians on a regular basis with missile attacks and drone attacks.

I thank Ms. Stansbury for yielding, and I appreciate her mentioning me in her remarks.

If you recognize those words, which most Americans would, they are the words of ``The Gambler.'' ``The Gambler'' was performed successfully by Kenny Rogers, but it was written by Don Schlitz.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, December 18, 2025, 171 wordsRenaming the Kennedy Center
Today, I learned that the Kennedy Center board asked or said that the Kennedy Center would be renamed the Trump- Kennedy Center.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, December 11, 2025, 234 wordsPromoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today Act
I rise in strong opposition to the PERMIT Act. For over 50 years, the Clean Water Act has protected rivers, streams, and wetlands that our communities rely on. This bill undermines these protections by shielding polluters from responsibility for toxic waste like PFAS, lead, mercury, and arsenic, and by limiting Federal review and community input when drinking water is at risk.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, December 11, 2025, 193 wordsNational Insecurity Strategy
At the end of last week, President Trump published his national security strategy. It could have been called his national insecurity strategy.
