Kevin McCarthy

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

We’re the only ones to lift the debt limit to make sure this economy is not in jeopardy.

The American people and the national media know that the ball is in Joe Biden's court.

We must face this head-on, and all we're asking is that the Democrats stop all the political theatrics long enough to participate in good faith negotiations.

Democrats fear mongering and scare tactics, using our veterans as political pawns are beneath the office we've been elected to serve.

If anybody is listening today, I want to remind them when it comes to addressing America's debt crisis Republicans have done something, and put forward a solution.

The longer the President spends dragging his feet, and putting off negotiations, the closer President Biden brings us to the first ever federal default in U.S. history.

It's time for President Biden to stop playing politics, and demonstrate real presidential leadership by negotiating in good faith.

Our out of control debt is a bipartisan problem.

It's time for President Biden, and Biden's Senate Democrats to come to the realization that their reckless, and irresponsible strategy of delay has failed, and begin negotiations in earnest.

House Republicans have acted responsibly by passing a debt limit increase, while also beginning to tackle our country's unsustainable debt and deficits.

I've been up here four years, and I think the most frustrating thing is that we don't do budgets.

I hope when the President sits down with the Speaker he will bring an open mind, and a serious counteroffer.
