the gentleman is recognized. and while i rise to that end i think it s critically important to note that this is actually not about kevin mccarthy, kevin is a good man, a man of god, a patriot, a leader who led our conference over the last four years, those things are unassailable. but this isn t about him. this isn t about kevin mccarthy. i put no single human being on a pedestal and certainly not before god and not before the gift that he has blessed us with with this grand experiment that we call the united states of america. this isn t about kevin mccarthy, but the matters before us are of stupendous magnitude.
