00:00Gentleman from Massachusetts Reserves, the gentlelady from North Carolina is recognized.

00:06Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I yield two minutes to the gentleman from Texas and rules committee

00:11member, Mr. Roy. Gentleman from Texas is recognized for two minutes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank

00:16the chairwoman. So here we are. Democrats couldn't seem to find a single thing to say

00:21about Epstein when President Biden was in office, but now they want to make this the centerpiece

00:26their entire conversation. The fact of the matter is right now, the fact of the matter is the House

00:32will be in order. The gentleman will suspend. The gentleman may proceed. The fact of the matter is

00:42they know it's true, and right now what they don't want to do is have the American people focusing on

00:46the Republicans in Congress who are doing the thing they sent us here to do, which is end wasteful

00:51spending, to stop the ridiculous spending of a bureaucratic government that has been weaponized

00:56against the people. Dollars that are being used and wasted being sent around the world for $32,000

01:02for transgender comic books in Peru. That's how they want to use taxpayer money. We're over here trying

01:08to make sure we're saving that money instead of having $5 million to fund tourism or $6 million to fund

01:15tourism in Egypt or $2 million for sex changes and LGBT activism in Guatemala. Why should the people of

01:23Texas be paying for that instead of paying to clean up the flood in Texas? The fact of the matter is the

01:30people of Texas want their money to be used for the things they care about. But we listen to the minority

01:36leader come to the floor and lecture us about the virtues of public radio and public broadcasting. Yet,

01:44nevertheless, the truth is it took NPR through Texas public radio 19 hours, 19 hours to post anything

01:54about the flooding on its social media pages after the floods hit in Texas. What was NPR and Texas public

02:02radio doing that morning? They weren't breaking to talk about what was happening in Texas. They were running

02:08ads saying people should call Congress to fund them. But the private stations in Texas were breaking to

02:15release reports and to tell people what to do because that's what private stations can do. Because they

02:20respond to the people because they're locally owned, they're locally run, and they're not run by the

02:25bureaucrats from this town. The fact is we're going to save money for the American people and end the absurdity

02:32of this leftist propaganda being put out under public radio. I yield back.

02:37Gentleman yields back. Gentlelady from North Carolina Reserves. Gentleman from Massachusetts.
