Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for this opportunity. We all know the United States is a diverse nation with diverse people, diverse viewpoints, and diverse perspectives. Every community in America--no matter their age…

On July 11th and since, Cubans have bravely told us what they want for their future, and that's freedom.

President Biden has proposed additional sanctions and left the sanctions from the previous administration in place.

What options exist for the private sector if their businesses, farms, or ranches, or whatever, are hurt--result of spectrum interference?

Thank you very much, Chairwoman Johnson, for holding this hearing.

the portrayal of the Cuban healthcare system is mythological, that is one that provides all kinds of free and wonderful access to health care to people on the island.

Members of Cuba's medical mission in Venezuela said that they were told to provide oxygen tanks and other desperately needed medical assistance only to individuals who committed to voting for the Maduro regime.

I think they're being enslaved.

Those physicians are enslaved.

In the meantime, the Cubans are on the street and no one is paying attention including the Biden Administration.

Madam Speaker, libertad. Freedom. Abajo la dictadura. Down with the dictatorship. These are the calls we are hearing from the people of Cuba. They have taken to the streets demanding the end of the Castro tyranny. We see the American flag…

The Cuban government, I do not think, is interested in lifting the embargo.

Obama lifted the policy of isolation for two and a half years and the Castro regime did not respond.

So everything is the embargo. But then if you are telling me that he does not even know what's happening in Cuba. So that means that they do not care what's happening.

The President wanted to burnish his image and look like a tough law and order guy because he wanted to win reelection.

I mean, yes, Donald Trump was impeached twice, and yet he sits at Mar-a-Lago giving interviews where he sounds like a person entirely and completely fixated on up-ending American democracy having tried and failed once already.

I think if I had to do it over again, I would have brought in the military immediately.

He kept reverting back again and again and again to the election, and to the conspiracies that we all know are not true.
