The Democrats believe that parents shouldn't have a say in their kids' education.

The truth is, if you plan on continuing to live in a free and prosperous society, then fossil fuels aren't going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

I deem myself to be the energy Congressman of the world.

That is not capitalism and that is not America. That is ridiculous.

Energy bills for the people that I serve in Tomball, Texas, have doubled under Joe Biden.

We in Congress have to stop talking about an energy transition, because that is a lie.

I sit before you today to discuss the importance of Save Our Sequoias Act.

Not everybody got to travel out to see the giant sequoias. The thing that is really most moving is lots of times you will find legislation where one Member will just sit and just write it and put it for their district.

But when we look closer at this House version introduced by Speaker McCarthy, we see that, unlike the Senate version, this version does seem to compromise our bedrock environmental laws like the National Environmental Protection Act.

Everybody, regardless of your philosophical opinion, understands how we can save them.

I would like to change that and show the country where our values are and where we care most, and that we put them before all others.

There is one thing Congress can do as a whole together, is make sure these sequoias are around for the next generation to see them and honor them.
