What Paul A. Gosar said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, on the vote on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, I intended to vote ``Yea.'' Unfortunately, due to a malfunction of my electronic voting card, my vote was not recorded.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Rutherford for putting this on with due respect for the men and women in blue. During National Police Week, I rise to honor the brave law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting you, our communities, and defending the rule of law.”

“Mr. Chair, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 7567 the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, and in particular, my amendment No. 15, to ensure Arizona farmers are not left behind.”

“Mr. Chairman, if the gentlewoman would have known, Arizona is the terminal ending out of Mexico of getting--they have to take the cuts. We have taken several cuts, and there are plenty members from the other basin States, but they can actually look at those as well.”

“Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, and in strong support of my amendment No. 16 to restore fairness for ranchers in Arizona and across the Southwest.”

“Mr. Chair, I will address the gentlewoman first. Obviously, the previous standards were used from 2004 to 2022 by George W. Bush and Obama and at the beginning of Biden's term.”

“Mr. Chair, once again, I am only asking for fairness because what we see on the ground is that there were other ways of looking at this. They are not asking for handouts.”

“Mr. Chair, I rise today in support of H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, and in support of my amendment No. 18. This bipartisan, commonsense amendment puts guardrails on taxpayer dollars by restricting USDA funding for animal research conducted in adversarial nations like China and Russia, countries that pose clear risks to our national security.”

“Mr. Chair, obviously the gentlewoman is not understanding the amendment. My amendment ensures that it does not happen without serious justification. Yes, you can share information, but you also have to have the parameters.”

“Mr. Chairman, once again, affording this type of legislation is about affording COVID or the Wuhan virus or anything else that may come about this, so we have to make sure that we are accountable to the scientific methodology, to the patients, to the public, and to the citizens of this country.”

“Mr. Speaker, we have heard this song and dance over and over again: No mining. That is big key because my State of Arizona has taken the brunt of this.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today like every other person with a heavy heart to honor the life of my dear friend and colleague, the gentleman, the giant from California, Doug LaMalfa.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Magistrate Jeffrey Singer and the ten-year anniversary of the Kingman Veterans Treatment Court--a model of justice, accountability, and compassion for those who have served our Nation.”

“Mr. Chair, I think the gentleman is suffering from power phobia, but this is a report. That is all it is, a report. I think the old wives' tale actually says it best: ``An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.'' This is a report.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Arizona for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H. Res. 719, Honoring the Life and Legacy of Charles ``Charlie'' James Kirk.”

“Mr. Chair, my amendment No. 106 prohibits funds for the DOD's bioindustrial manufacturing and design ecosystem, or BioMADE, that funds lab-grown meat and protein products for the military from feeding our men and women.”

“Mr. Chair, I am a little bit confused here, so I want to ask the question: If we do good faith advertising to the American people, because that is what our job is, tell me why we would actually say the ``Potential Benefit of Superbrewed Food's Sustainable Postbiotic Protein on Warfighter Health.'' That is obviously not what the gentleman is talking about.”

“I am interested in the substitutes because I don't think our warfighters should have to have that, and I would like people to make that distinction, even if it costs the amendment.”
