Let's service them and not necessarily bureaucrats who are making more money off of these programs.

I just want to associate myself with some of the comments about executability. I am deeply concerned about the dollar values here.

I want to just, first of all, thank you for the focus on the ports of L.A. As well as Long Beach.

We need to reverse this cultural trend of defunding the police and, instead, defend the police and back our blue.

I just want to touch base. We are having a hard time in L.A. County right now.

We have mistreated law enforcement over the last couple of years and we have disincentivized them to stay on the force.

We need to enable our officers.

He is behaving like the penguin from Gotham City almost in Batman movies. He is almost enabling the bad guys to get away.

We are asking for even more money for counterintelligence and cyber defense, but we are worried not only about China, but about Russia, and about its immediate threat to us, and about North Korea, and about Iran.

In the last year, we have seen crime spikes like we have never seen before, 54 percent increase in shoplifting.

I can't wrap my brain around why you would be pleased with what has gone on in the last call it year to 18 months.

I feel like we're investing in some archaic designs, archaic technologies that frankly have proven that they can't meet the demands, and I haven't heard how we're going to address our dependency on China, our dependency on Russia.

I haven't heard where we've made cuts. I haven't heard what programs have been sacrificed so that we can pay the programs that are needed or where synergies or efficiencies have been gained in the last year and a half to 2 years out of DOE…

These are massive problems in an inflationary period that is absolutely backbreaking to our constituents and frankly I think Americans around the country because we don't have the adequate resources and in my opinion the adequate…

We're seeing gasoline prices in California that has a lot of gasoline within its borders and underneath its ground, lots of oil reserves at $6 to $6.50 a gallon.

I'm concerned and frankly I'm a little more concerned even after your testimony that we as a nation after our population has nearly doubled over the last 40 years, our organic production of energy to meet the demands of that population in…

The National School Boards Association communicated for several weeks with the White House before the letter was sent.

I don't think we as a nation should be cooperating with China on our space endeavors, either on the commercial or defense side.

I do think it's more than just anxiety about job loss. There were literally thousands of jobs lost as a result of that decision.

I think we need to figure out how to scale up.

I don't think our policies and our funding streams should be supported by documentaries that are, in some cases, outdated, and had bad data.

I think we need to clean up the areas that do, in fact, have waste.

I do support a cleanup. I think the definition of full cleanup is what's at issue right now.

At a time when we should be working together, helping one another as Americans to grapple with a COVID-19 pandemic, we have all Witnessed the Asian-American community, like Latinos and other communities, that are facing an alarming rise in…

I like things like the $3 billion that goes to EDA.
