It's a long list. It's not fair. Enough is enough. Let's level the playing field.

I think the biggest threat to the CHIPS Act is the workforce right now if we can't figure out how to get that right.

this trade fight that we're in with China, this this macro issue that we have with China being the biggest threat to the United States right now as a pure adversary.

I think it's important that we do get together and start bending the arc toward a reciprocal trade agreement.

I also want to remind our colleagues that FBI crime data shows that in border communities crime is actually 15 percent lower than the national average.

I do see these fire operations as literally combat operations.

God bless our firefighters out there on the frontlines, putting their lives on the line and saving homes.

I come from southern California, north L.A. County in a district which--it's probably the largest wildland-to-human interface in the Nation in terms of wildfire risks.

the workforce doesn't quite look like America.

when you look at setting the interest rate, you want to reflect all Americans in the room when you do it.

I want to thank you for that clarification.

I think we're at a really meaningful part of our Nation's history. I actually view this technology quantum coupled with AI and machine learning as the fourth offset, the fourth military offset.

I think we are trying to have a self-fulfilling prophecy that China is not doing the same investments and not making the same progress that we are.

we have $31 trillion in debt. The Federal Government has lost hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars, to fraud, abuse and waste.

the inflation that is being felt by Americans in my district is very real.

the Inflation Reduction Act... was touted as the Green New Deal, the biggest climate... bill ever in the history of the United States.

it is more important now that Congress does something about stopping this wasteful spending.

I thank my fellow naval aviator from Virginia for this precious time. Madam Speaker, today I rise as a formal naval officer who is concerned for our enlisted troops, and particularly our junior enlisted troops within the Department of…

I sit on the Science, Space, Technology Committee as well, and we have been talking small modular reactors.

When do you anticipate we get back to sort of 2021, 2022 reserve levels, before the sell-off?

Are you aware of the plan to refill our reserves? What does that plan look like?

I would just encourage us all to keep looking at this as these are green shoots and, I think, very important options for us.

If I can with the 5 seconds, is there a high-fidelity plan that you can share with us?

I would say a mediocre fighter pilot at best, but thank you for the flattery.

What is preventing--I mean, we are at $70, I think, today.
