Americans are paying more for everything.

I would also like to express our appreciation to the sponsors of these bipartisan pieces of legislation--Representatives Zinke, Peltola, Neguse, Lawler, and more--whose leadership on these bills will help strengthen coordination and focus…

We are spending more than we are bringing in, and yet your testimony places blame on House Republicans who are working diligently to be fiscally responsible.

I think it's very, very clear that our complete lack of export controls, our complete lack of paying attention to the protection of our IP, has allowed China to build something in outer space that's our near-peer competitor.

are you aware that just yesterday, America exceeded $33 trillion in debt?

But faster isn't better, even when you're analyzing data.

Americans have lost more than $2 trillion in retirement savings, and gas is nearly $4 a gallon.

Unfortunately, the Biden administration has fallen behind on the permitting timelines that had been established previously in the Trump administration.

This does not sound like the strongest economic recovery in more than a generation to me.

We all saw Joe Biden beg Saudi Arabia to increase their oil production to relieve high gas prices.

So, Mr. Kogan, at $33 trillion in debt, all of this is due to wasteful Washington spending by Biden, by Pelosi.

Because President Trump had us energy independent, and we were producing American energy right here.

My American Energy Act, which you and I have discussed, which passed the House earlier this year under H.R. 1, that would do exactly what we are talking about here.

How about if you had replayed on a day-to-day basis the decisions that were made about our nuclear arsenal?

I would love to see them reverse this 1.6 million-acre withdrawal of Federal land in Colorado from energy production.

What has changed, and what will change with this language that you are saying, 'avoiding leasing in areas with sensitive cultural, wildlife, and recreation resources'?

The rationale is sage grouse are being hurt, and we have to protect the sage grouse, and that is just a fig leaf.

I see a negative here with a dubious positive over here, and it just seems like there is an agenda that is driving this.
