What Brad Knott said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 6955, the Main Street Capital Access Act. For the vast majority of our Nation's history, community banks were the primary artery into progress for all Americans.”

“My home State of North Carolina has long had a proud history of vibrant community banks. Today, there are very few exceptions to this, but there are really only two choices for community banks in today's market if they want to survive.”

“Mr. Speaker, due to an unforseen conflict, I was unable to cast my vote for H.R. 8823 and H.R. 4541. Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 250 and YEA on Roll Call No. 251.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Federal Government has been too big, powerful, and unaccountable to the American people for far too long. This is most clear in our Federal agencies, which have spent years acting as the investigator, prosecutor, and judge simultaneously and all without any accountability.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Donna Lynne Eaton, who passed away on June 1, 2026. She was only 58 years old, and she went home to be with the Lord she loved.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of my bill, H.R. 6267, the Aviation Supply Chain Safety and Security Digitization Act. I thank Chairman Graves for the opportunity to speak today, and I also thank my colleague from Michigan (Ms.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Haridopolos for hosting this Special Order hour on one of the critical issues that we face as a nation and have faced for the better part of 20 years now.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in order to commemorate the extraordinary story and mission of one of my neighbors and her family in North Carolina, someone by the name of Olivia Wooten.”

“United States will no longer be a safe harbor for violent foreign terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to join me in supporting this important legislation.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have been very supportive of this effort, specifically to bring justice to the victims of this horrific series of crimes. However, I have worked behind the scenes to raise concerns with this petition as it is currently drafted.”

“The issue with your characterization, sir, is number one, someone who enters illegally must be convicted of illegally entering the country. Then they must be convicted of illegally reentering the country to get a felony conviction.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this bill. After listening to the previous few hours, it should surprise no one that the party of open borders, the party of illegal aliens, and now the party of State-run grocery stores hates this bill because this bill secures America's borders.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today alongside four of my esteemed colleagues to both highlight and condemn the misuse of taxpayer dollars funneled to illegal immigrants. An outrageous pattern of perverse and intentional incentives reveal deliberate efforts to worsen the border crisis and to allow tens of millions of illegal aliens to invade our Nation at direct cost to the American taxpayer.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the Congressman from North Carolina (Mr. Moore). Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Haridopolos), my good friend from the Eighth Congressional District, otherwise known as the Space Coast.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am ready for that debate any day, and I am ready for that discussion any day. Again, the Republicans believe that American tax dollars should serve American citizens and not those who are here illegally.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Harris for his remarks. At least 1 million illegals are on Medicaid. I would submit that I have heard not one syllable from the Democratic Party from 5 years ago when Joe Biden took power until today protesting that fact.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, you have heard today from our colleagues and myself about the outrageous government-funded incentives and plans to keep illegal aliens not only flowing into this country but also to stay in this country.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the great people of Youngsville, North Carolina, ahead of their 150th anniversary celebration on March 17. Originally a railroad town and a community along U.S.”
