Thank you, Madam Chairwoman.

When the results of the Mueller investigation did not satisfy the Democrats, they quickly started peddling to the American people the manufactured constitutional crisis.

Without a division of centralized power, democracy becomes anarchy.

I am about to come to the conclusion we may need to just get done, get rid of them altogether.

Now the Democrats tell us that they are taking the circus to court because the President has asserted executive privilege.

the President does answer to Congress.

They have been done terribly wrong, and I am hopeful we will get to the bottom of this.

What side of history are you on? Were you continuing to flail at a candidate you didn't want elected?

You know, it is often said, and the chairman just said, that the Congress is a co-equal branch. I actually think it is the premiere branch because we are the ones that actually start the money.

Not only is a subpoena the start of a dialogue, it is to give us better standing in court.

Members of Congress before I got here gave up a lot of our, you know, the authority that we have in Article I to Article II, and that is a problem, but, however, you use it in the right way.

We should have gotten a clue when the FISA court order, the application affidavit were released through WikiLeaks.

the Congress is a co-equal branch. I actually think it is the premiere branch because we are the ones that actually start the money.

But we have a crisis on our border.

It was ridiculous, the lack of accessibility.

It is ironic, because they are saying fund LWCF, Land and Water Conservation Fund, when the reality is you are swamp creatures.

I am also very frustrated by the lack of responsiveness from the Department of the Interior.

Has this Administration or has the previous administration granted more variances or alternative compliance?
