And if we want cleaner energy, we should at least use the expertise of the energy industry because they have shown and they have proven themselves to be innovators.

Yes, the sanctions against them were waived.

I'd like Mr. Daszak here, and why the majority party won't do it I'll never know.

Everybody sees that the inflation they're paying in higher prices is a result of all the increased spending, trillions in new spending, that we've seen this year.

Inflation is probably the largest tax increase on middle-and lower-income families.

There's only one committee, only one select committee that's supposed to look into the coronavirus issue, and it seems to me the first question we'd be most focused on is: How did this thing start?

This is a problem that my Democrat colleagues want to ignore, but, sadly, American families don't have that luxury.

Rather than recognize what those policies have done, it seems like this majority continues to spend trillions more dollars.

We had a guy who got American taxpayer money to do research in China on bat coronaviruses.

Again, I ask the question, why don't Democrats want to know where this virus started, how this virus started?

I fail to see why we wouldn't want Mr. Daszak to come in front of this committee.

It's crushing American families that are trying to feed their kids and pay their bills.

When Democrats in the majority recklessly dumped almost $2 trillion into the economy this spring, they poured gasoline on this inflationary fire.

It sounds like duplication to me, and that is costly.

A more diverse agency is better government.

It was a good example of the kind of bipartisan work this committee is capable of.

We want your office to be functional and effective for the American people.

It does provide a $65 billion investment into our energy infrastructure and our electric grid.
