The purpose of this hearing is clear: to deliver partisan theater for prime-time news.

Democrats have become masters of accusing others of the very thing they themselves are guilty of, and in this case, misinformation.

Perhaps when we become the majority and we subpoena Hunter Biden, we can ask Hunter Biden about that question.

Instead of convening hearings on any of these topics and holding the Biden Administration accountable for its actions...

What does the gentleman want, $8 gasoline, $10 gasoline for the very families that we all represent? This is craziness what they are talking about.

It is truly sad that the American people are being abandoned by their leaders at such a critical moment.

the spectacle of the President of the United States begging OPEC to increase production.

I guess they feel like fools for donating 20 percent to the Democrats.

the energy industry, let us not forget, is responsible for 10 million high-paying jobs in this country, and it is also a national security issue.

I want to thank Chairwoman Maloney for giving this committee yet another opportunity, another platform to highlight the horrible, miserable, failed policies of the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party as a whole.

Inflation caused by the Biden Administration's economic policies is sitting at 5.4 percent, gas prices are at a seven-year high...

Significantly lower. Is that right?

When are we going to hold a hearing with a Biden Administration Cabinet member so we can hold the Federal Government accountable?

The Biden Administration, as it has done on all the crises it has had over the last nine months, has no plan to confront these mounting problems.

That is why we should be exploring offshore, and drilling in Alaska, and the Keystone pipeline.

This hearing is simply a distraction from the crises that the Biden Administration's policies have caused for the American people.

we will be judged by our actions today, and we will be judged in history just like so many of our folks in the Democratic majority that are going on wild multi-trillion-dollar deficit spending binges.

The climate is very important to Republicans as well. We just want to work with the private sector to reduce our carbon footprint.
