one minute. Mr. Speaker, it's time for Americans to lower the temperature. Political extremism
00:06
and dangerous divisions among Americans are causes for serious reflection. As inexplicable
00:15
hate is spewed out, my gratitude goes out to law enforcement in all forms working across
00:21
the clock to keep our Great Lakes communities and nations safe. Yet rising gun violence,
00:27
drugs, and outlandish behaviors such as cars driving on the turnpike at 90 miles an hour
00:34
remain as fallout from the pandemic. They must be addressed. The heroic police deputies in Minnesota
00:41
who addressed a deranged extreme perpetrator did their job. We applaud them for their brains and
00:47
valor. Restoring some calm to America is not a Democrat nor Republican challenge, it's an American
00:53
challenge. And I welcome the suggestion of Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of slain Minnesota
00:59
State House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. In their children's words, if you would like
01:04
to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following. Plant a tree. Visit a local
01:10
park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal,
01:18
but any will do. Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. Bake something. Break bread for
01:26
Mark or a cake for Melissa and share it with someone like your local firefighters. Try a new hobby. Enjoy
01:33
learning something new. Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
01:40
Mr. Speaker, I hope all listening today take this message to heart and I yield back.
01:45
For what purpose is a gentleman from California seat recognition?
01:49
Speaker, I say.
01:50
Speaker, I say.
