The trillions and trillions we're going to cost our kids to chase a tiny percentage of CO2 will bankrupt all of us, and bankrupt our economy, and ship it to China for all the other reasons.

the price of the thing has quadrupled from what the taxpayers originally sold when they approved about $10 billion worth of bonds

anybody with a cork brain and a glass eye could tell you it is not going to work.

So, what we are wondering is that why is it that, at this point--the Forest Service, again, has been fighting fires since 1905 and using aircraft for suppression since sometime in the 1950s--why do we need, all of a sudden, a permit to use…

It is a real pleasure to work with you and serve with you.

And we are thankful for that, because there was a lawsuit brought by an outside group to, incredibly, sue to stop the usage of it.

We would be happy to meet with Representative LaMalfa and his team to further address any questions or concerns they may have.

Essentially, Udall came in and convened several meetings in order to establish I guess a dialogue with some sides on an issue.

Well, what is the success ratio of heading off litigation? I suppose you are looking for resolutions.

We thank Representative LaMalfa for his questions during the subcommittee hearing related to the outcomes of the Tulelake Municipal Airport.

Well, all we are looking for here is a program that is being run with accuracy and integrity for the folks that have the real need.

FEMA didn't properly manage approximately $65 million intended for disaster relief for Puerto Rico

We were earlier in the conversation talking about where is our food going to come from, when we are devastating our food supply.

Make no mistake, our forests and rural communities continue to face an unprecedented forest health and wildfire crisis.

This truly is an urgent crisis and we need to act now.

I cannot discern how it's appropriate to use resources on EVs in National Forests--in the name of 'climate change'--while communities in the West are burning, livelihoods are upended, and wildfire emissions are far greater than any EV…

Thanks so much again, Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the time and being in your Subcommittee today.

We have seen a history with Forest Service of over-reporting or even misrepresenting actual treated acreage.

Not since 1962 with the Cuban Missile Crisis, did a foreign power such as China pose such a direct military threat.

This truly is an urgent crisis. We need to act now.

It is completely unreasonable, and I hear what you are dealing with.

We are going to be moved into caves to eat crickets and berries in the dark because CO2 has moved from 0.03 to 0.04 percent since 1960.

I thought it was really wild.

I mean, I just--unbelievable to me that we think we are going to electrify everything and do it economically.
