The average price right now is $4,000 to $7,000, unless you are from China, and then it is $35,000. Very few of these people have that to pay. Guess what happens? Either they can work it off by delivering illicit drugs, helping to smuggle…

Absolutely, 100 percent. Do you know how we know they have been emboldened? Because it used to be they would have the coyotes take the people up and locate them in the U.S. They don't do that anymore. The coyotes take them up, they put…

We have a lot of problems with our energy policy in America from the Biden administration, and it is going to make electrifying vehicles even more difficult.

The policies of the Biden administration and his son Hunter have put us at a severe competitive disadvantage to China in the world battery market.

There are so many innovations that have been put in place for mining these critical minerals throughout the world but, particularly, in the United States and in the Southwest.

When the Government spends too much money, we have this thing called inflation.

We just don't believe that those rural areas are ready and have the infrastructure for the postal fleet to be electrified.

You don't want to mine. You don't want to extract from the earth the gifts that are necessary to implement your environmental goals and strategies.

It is great to be here. I got a kick out of the gentleman from Tennessee showing his age. He is talking about pot when it was 2 percent THC. He is thinking pot is still this drug where people get goofy and they eat Cheetos and nacho cheese…

In 2009, Medicare cut payments to independent cardiologists.

There is too much administrative costs.

But this is the system that my colleagues across the aisle made.

I think so much of what I have heard today is talking around the issue for political purposes.

Preventing individuals from making personal health care decisions... is really the violation of fundamental human rights.

Medicare for All would make our ability to buy private insurance even more difficult.

You are going to be talking about of--of you are not there because of the COVID.

I think it is unconstitutional to say that a quorum consists of somebody who is not on site, not present.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, just not by everyone yet.

The culture has been impacted.

I think we should have a recorded vote on every bill, every amendment.

I think it is our responsibility to let the American people know what you are voting for and who is voting for it.

I negotiated it with the Democrats. And so when that bill passed, it was the substance of my bill.

Congress is not designed to be efficient, but that kind of takes it to the outer limits of inefficiency.
