The National Climate Assessment released in 2018 estimated $500 billion in lost economic output annually by the year 2100 due to global warming at or above two degrees Celsius.

President Biden has laid out his vision of how investing in new clean energy technologies will help build the middle class in America and expand economic opportunity.

That is the question.

Yes, I think if we are looking ahead, we are going to be looking to non-fossil fuel kinds of energy sources.

We know that we need to do more with regard to domestic and gender-based violence.

President Biden has made it very clear. This is a public health crisis, and we have to address it.

Gun violence. We all know, what is it, about 40,000 Americans die from firearm injuries as the result of our lack of action on this every year.

The American Rescue Plan that we passed a couple weeks ago had funding for 100,000 new public health workers.

I have no question that Roe v. Wade is an important legal precedent that we must abide by that makes sure that women have access to the healthcare that they need.

I believe that Roe v. Wade has given women the opportunity to exercise their rights under the Constitution and our laws to provide for their health.

I mean, I am even impressed at what President Biden has accomplished when it comes to the vaccine.

When you have got a President who is willing to commit over $10,000,000,000 in his fiscal budget to start tackling opioids, you know he is serious.

I am all about making sure we treat everyone fairly.

So sometimes it is actually more efficient and cost effective to try to help make that transportation work.

We have authority to provide for transportation resources to make sure that these children are united.

We have to remember that our mission is separate and apart and different from the Department of Homeland Security's mission.

We will try to keep you all informed because you are so essential.

We are not going to jeopardize any child. We are not going to do things in a way that add to the trauma the child has already experienced.

I appreciate and agree.

I fully understand the value of that type of work that has to be done, and what I can tell you is that while a decision hasn't been made, I can get back to you as quickly as possible on the course of action that we will take…

We have seen how quickly the private sector, working with the Government sector, can move.

We are going to learn from our experiences with COVID and all the rest to move forward and be prepared.

I can guarantee you that, at HHS, before we take any action, we will take the comments necessary, hear from all the stakeholders.

It will take a bipartisan effort to make sure we move it in the right direction to finally fulfill our trust responsibilities.
