Enacting these bills would indeed undermine the successful recovery of these species and the rule of law.

The sheer hubris of these bills is impressive.

These bills would legislatively delist the species we are talking about--the gray wolf and grizzly bear.

We will have discussions about how to make this law work better.

Congress has no business listing or delisting species.

Any law can be improved, and that is what we are about.

The gray wolves are more popular than some of the politicians that want to delist them.

I will go ahead and say you are welcome, because during the 117th Congress, Democrats enacted real, sustainable solutions that improve water access for American households, the environment, fishermen, and the agricultural industry.

Sadly, although we would have loved for this to be truly bipartisan, we did not have the support of most Republicans on this Committee.

When you talk about climate, because our water challenges and shortages in the West are not driven by the Endangered Species Act, radical environmentalists, or the deep state--in fact, the principal driving force is climate change.

We passed the most significant climate change investment in history, and that included $4 billion for drought mitigation, $550 million for tribal drinking water projects, $2.6 billion for habitat resilience and fisheries science.
