We want to continue to mount that campaign to engage our local communities. Hopefully, we can be successful and continue that increase our vaccination rate. That's the only way out of it.

We have to have leaders that will step up and say that's a myth that's not supported, and you all need to listen rationally to people.

by number of sources- yesterday, while millions of American households across the country were struggling to understand which of the 480 separate IRS tax forms applied to them, while they were trudging along, trying to read through the accompanying 280 supplemental explanatory IRS pamphlets, while their tax accountants and tax attorneys worked hard to keep them abreast of the more than 800,000 words which make up this country's Tax Code, and while families nervously anticipated the impending IRS deadline of April 15, which is now less than 6 weeks away, President Clinton had the audacity to call my efforts to sunset this country's incomprehensible maze that we call a Tax Code in the year 2001--irresponsible2 sources1997congress.gov

- for the last 2 weeks, the House Committee on the Judiciary has worked diligently to review the referral of the Independent Counsel, as directed by the resolution of this House and adopted by a bipartisan majority2 sources1997congress.gov

- I rise to support the Enzi amendment. I compliment the Senator. He has been a tireless worker and leader in the area of OSHA reform. I think on both sides of the aisle no one would dispute Senator Enzi has been the foremost student of OSHA, the way it works, where its failings are. The legislation he has brought forward and his efforts to reform this agency deserve the praise and the appreciation of the American people. I appreciate very much his willingness to offer this amendment. I think a few things need to be clarified. It does not cut enforcement. The Senator from Minnesota said this cuts enforcement. No, it doesn't. It takes the $33 million increased spending and says half of that will be used for compliance. Over last year's level, there is no cut in what will be available for enforcement. In fact, half of the $33 million increase will continue to go into the enforcement area. The Senator from Minnesota said the amendment was flawed. It is not this amendment that is flawed. It is the 'find and fine' approach of OSHA that is flawed and that needs reform.2 sources1999govinfo.gov
- as chairman of the Personnel Subcommittee on Armed Services, I rise in strong opposition to the Murray amendment which allows abortion on demand in military facilities overseas. I oppose the pending amendment because, No. 1, it is unnecessary. It is a solution in search of a problem. No. 2, it violates the letter and spirit of existing Federal law; that is, the Hyde amendment which prohibits Federal funding of abortion. In fact, that is the issue involved in this amendment. It is a subsidizing of the abortion procedure. Third, if it were adopted, it would likely accomplish very little while providing a Federal endorsement of the practice that is opposed by tens of millions of Americans. My colleagues contend that the Murray amendment is a banner of constitutional rights. I think that argument is disingenuous. The current statute does not preclude servicewomen, serving overseas, from obtaining abortions. Women serving overseas already have the opportunity to terminate their pregnancy because the Department of Defense will provide them transportation either to the United States or to another country where abortion is legal for only $10. That is the cost of the food on the flight. To say there is a constitutional right that is abrogated is incorrect. In 1979, the Congress adopted what has come to be known as the Hyde amendment. The Hyde amendment has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court as constitutional.2 sources2000govinfo.gov

Well, the investigation was very thorough. The allegations could not be more serious. No woman should have to go to the workplace and have to choose between a paycheck and being assaulted, particularly when it's in a public environment.

Well, facts change and leaders have to adjust to the new facts that you have and the reality of what you have to deal with.

More Damaging Is The All-Out Assault Donald Trump Is Making On The American System Of Justice
Jul 31, 2023
Well, it's another sad day for America when a former president is indicted, particularly dealing with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another administration.

the indictment talks about that he knew that he had not won the election, but he continued to propagate this idea that he had.

I don't see right now any evidence that it has been improperly influenced.

I’ve said repeatedly that when it comes to January 6, and the attack on the Capitol, Donald Trump is morally responsible.

We should not underestimate the challenge of this. I think this is Kevin McCarthy's point, that you have an element of speech here of a candidate addressing a rally.

This constant criticism of our system really undermines our democracy in this country.
May 9, 2023
It's wrong the position he's taken. And I think it's important for the leaders of our party to be clear on this issue, that we don't sympathize with Donald Trump and his mocking of the case, but yet we treat it with seriousness as it…

Well, Donald Trump was certainly grilled tonight. And what was clear, he had a weak performance, and he's locked in the past. He had a goal, I'm sure, to expand his base, to be able to prove that he can attract independence and suburban…

It's just wrong to undermine our justice system. It's one of the hallmarks of our democracy that we have a strong rule of law and that any person who is aggrieved can go into court and seek justice.
May 6, 2023
The Court needs to be transparent, first of all. They need to be clear on what their reporting rules are.

Whenever you look at the rule of law, which I talked about, the challenge of crime in our cities, the challenge of border security, that's where we simply need to enforce the law, and that is the background that I bring to this campaign.

I am running for the president of the United States because I know that the best of America is ahead of us.

It's about policy, but it's about electability. And we do not want to have a repeat of 2020 with a Trump/Biden race. We want something different that we can win.
May 6, 2023
Donald Trump has a moral responsibility for what happened on January 6th. The question is is whether there is a criminal responsibility, and that's a judgment that the Department of Justice is going to have to make.
Apr 24, 2023
I think abortion may be on the backburner by the time you know, the 2024 really heats up.

And so it is a concern for, as I call the body politic, that we're going to have this difficulty, this challenge, this crisis that he faces throughout the election seasons.
