Do you agree that we're better off reducing economic activity to protect human health, in regard to reducing pollution?

But I think that Dr. Shellenberger is right on point in that the way to do that is to utilize the technology that we have.

If we completely eliminated all CO2 emissions, went to absolute zero in the United States, would it stop climate change? And their unanimous answer was no.

I agree that the climate is changing, and I believe human activity contributes to it, but that is not the leading factor for climate change.

Well, that's interesting, because a subsequent publication or another publication from The Lancet said that cold weather, even moderate cold, kills 20 times more people than heat.

I'm wondering if it makes sense to add to the scorecard and to encourage agencies to avoid buying--as much as possible, avoid buying from China.

You're absolutely right about the interoperability among Federal agencies, but it also should extend to the states.

I think there are still issues with that, with that information, the personal identification information that's still out there.

I just want to ask you if you think that this poses a significant economic and national security risk.

By violating Federal law by establishing themselves as sanctuaries for people here illegally, including some who have committed felonies, have these states created an advantage for themselves that could cause harm to states that aren't…

Both you and Mr. Brown, your testimony obviously places a high value on inclusion when it comes to disaster relief.

Well, we're not--ma'am, let me cut you off there. I just want to make sure that we have a proper focus on the States where there's been a disproportionate number of elderly die under the administrations of these seven States.

But ultimately we need tax policy and regulatory policy that really encourages and augments and doesn't create barriers to accessing that capital.

I think that there have been some studies done that a lot of Black entrepreneurs don't get loans...

If this bill were to become law, it would undermine our ability to maintain our military superiority over China. In that regard, if Xi Jinping had a vote in this Chamber, he would be an enthusiastic ``yes.'' Thank God he does not. But we…

The cost keeps going up and up and up. And I am all for getting in there and helping people.

Does it make sense to pay $150,000 for a unit, use it one time for 18 months, and then auction it off for less than $10,000?

Does it make sense to pay $150,000 for a housing unit, and then auction it off for prices below $10,000?

We urge Congress to include funding in the next highway bill for improvements to culverts along BIA and Tribal roads.
