I am concerned that the amount of fraud is substantially higher than what you gentlemen have acknowledged.

I was involved in trying to get to the bottom of the fraud in the state of Alabama.

I have got some serious issues with how your agencies have handled the fraud.

Sounds like a green new deal to me.

By the way, U.S. Government classifies the Taliban as an insurgent group, in case some of my colleagues don't understand what real insurgencies are.

I just wonder what the real agenda is here for an open border.

I think, if Europe is any indication, we are going to find out that there are several thousand people that will be classified as excess winter deaths.

My concern is, looking at China's influence and funding various groups that are pushing renewables, that in many respects--and I mean this seriously--it undermines our national security, this mad dash to renewables.

fentanyl is a weapon that's coming across our borders that's killing young people at a record level.

It has basically become a conduit for seed money for this new climate bank.

They ignore the technological advances, yet they want us to be dependent on China for the--for wind turbines and for solar panels. Does that make sense?

We are not going to be at net zero by 2050. We don't--the engineering doesn't support it. The technology doesn't support it.

I just don't think we're at a point now where we can ignore anyone--legitimate concerns being raised.

I want to go a little bit in a different direction here. I've got some concerns about organizations, agencies that are responsible for protecting the public and the world, really, from pandemics like this.

I introduced a bill to do this that were largely ignored.

I just wonder--and, Dr. Howard, you talked about early access to many sequences of the virus.

I think it went up fivefold in some places.

Are any of those improper uses of funds?

What does it mean to people when they see their power bills going through the roof and they are having to make decisions on how much food they can afford to buy and still be able to adequately heat or cool their home?

For the record, let it be known that my Republican colleagues and I support lower household energy costs for all Americans.

I rise this evening with a heavy but grateful heart, heavy with the grief that comes from losing a friend but very grateful for having such a friend and colleague as Don Young. Congressman Don Young was truly an iconic figure in the…
