I also want to thank the Chairman for bringing this bill in front of the Committee for markup.

We will have them in front of our Committee real soon.

I think there is a total realignment happening in the culture and in politics and, frankly, I think that's a darn good thing.

We appreciate all of you for being here. We will introduce you here in a few minutes.

Never forget, the third day of the Biden Administration... Andy Slavitt sends an email from the White House to Twitter saying, 'Take down this tweet ASAP.'

We are doing this for the security of our agents. Baloney. They're doing it because we caught them.

I have often said that we should be focused on moving Americans from welfare to work by providing them the tools that they need to be able to rise out of poverty.

Well, I just want to again thank the chair and the ranking member for bringing this to this body, and I want to thank all of you that came from many distances to talk about this very important issue.

What America makes and grows, makes and grows America and grows our middle class. Thus, let me applaud the Biden administration's decision to utilize the Defense Production Act to reshore the domestic manufacturing of essential medicines…

Hamas still has control of Gaza. When this cease-fire period ends, as Netanyahu has said, other conflict will continue. And that conflict will continue, as Israel has stated, until Hamas is removed.

I'm concerned that the Biden administration didn't make it a condition of this deal that Americans be in the first hostages that are released.

I think the White House has been clear and I think US policy has been clear of, you know, lessening the Palestinian casualties that are not Hamas.

Oh, absolutely. And they see it as their proxy. I mean, they state it is. And they state that it is their proxy war against the West.

I think it's important for Americans to know the truth. This has been fraught with an unbelievable amount of misinformation and untruths.

I think what's curious, though, is that this is a period that's fraught with peril. For them to be so quick to claim credit for a deal that we don't know what's going to come out of this, I just think it's very dangerous.

We have got to stop the money, and we have got to push back on college campuses that don't stand up for our students.

But last month in Bexley, Ohio, which is a community that is probably a mile-and-a-half--I split the City of Columbus in half with my dear friend, Joyce Beatty.

I will say I applaud what Ohio State has come out and done.
