President Trump seems to be leading us to a trade war with Mexico.

In my view, building this wall could send a message to foreign companies that the border is closed for business.

This wall could cost $21.6 billion, and that's with a 'B,' $21.6 billion.

I strongly support the parity created by the Tribal Stafford Act for tribal and State governments and their concurrent ability to seek disaster assistance directly from the President.

This is unacceptable to me.

Tribal disaster declaration authority is critical to tribal governments across the country.

The Federal Government response to Gold King has been one of the most frustrating things I have seen the Navajo Nation go through in my time in Congress.

I am asking this Committee to hold EPA's word and let them compensate every one of our farmers that has been hurt.

Let me tell you that when you have come into New Mexico, we have had disasters on reservation and off reservation.

To this day, they have not. That letter specially says, we cannot compensate you a penny. That is wrong.

It seems to me one of the issues here is the issue if EPA is supposed to be the lead, is EPA, in your opinion, capable of being lead in a disaster?

How does that happen all of a sudden with an agency like the EPA, because they happened to be the agency that caused the problem?

For 7 years, over 60 times my Republican colleagues have voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

I think it is important that when we are having these hearings about how to improve the Affordable Care Act it shouldn't be about repealing the Affordable Care Act.

there is no evidence that there have been any job losses in Colorado as a result of Regulation 7.

In my view, the oil and gas operations should have clear Federal standards to minimize the waste of publicly-owned natural gas.

there is an aggressive industry lobbying campaign to do away with the BLM's methane rule, but repeal does not hold up under scrutiny.

It's a matter of balance.
