The Endangered Species Act is no longer used as a shield. It is now used as a sword, yet we don't authorize it. We don't hold hearings, and we don't examine the impact of the Endangered Species Act. Parts of it undoubtedly are good, but a…

All right. We are going to start talking about what we can do about that. I thank my friend from Arizona for joining us tonight and giving us that advice. Folks, you may have heard of Dave Ramsey. He has helped millions of Americans get…

There is no middle ground here. There is no room for compromise.

For over five years, Mesa County has been stuck in red tape as they have been diligently pursuing the acquisition of this parcel of land that is on the BLM disposal list.

We have just identified the process for one agency or one program to be reauthorized. We are talking about 1,100 unauthorized programs that Congress needs to authorize before it appropriates money to them. That is not even including the…

I thank my friend for that compliment. I have really just stolen a lot of ideas from a lot of people and tried to put them together in one place. One of the things that aggravates me the most about unauthorized programs--and I am so happy…

Let me ask my friend a question, if I may. We talk about authorizing programs. How does Congress authorize a program?

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Congressman Doug Lamborn and Congressman Ken Buck are working toward a common-sense solution...

Here are some facts. Fact number one, Donald Trump remains one of the greatest dangers to our democracy that we have ever seen, and he is a demagogue. Fact number two, demagogues don't like people who call them out, who speak the truth…

Justice for you, but not for me. Is that what's coming out now?

This common-sense bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to convey 31.1 acres of land, that the federal government no longer wishes to manage to Mesa County for economic development in Clifton, Colorado.

I think we can do better.

I urge this committee to support this legislation and allow the economic potential that lies within this land to be realized.
