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'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…

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.

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 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…

The Chinese Communist regime under Chairman Xi is certainly our greatest opponent. His vision and mission is to eliminate the United States by 2050, and his investments are aimed toward this end. The CCP is not on our team, and we should…

I thank the gentleman and shipmate from Indiana for this evening's Special Order. Madam Speaker, we the people really aren't asking much of our elected officials. Above all things, we just want them to do what is right for our country and…

I want to commend both sides of the aisle for a rather strong National Defense Authorization Act and commend the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers) for his revisions. Madam Speaker, it is a good top-line NDAA, it makes the strategic and…

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

I look forward to maybe more contested Army-Navy games in the near term. Madam Speaker, in our battle against our internal demons, there is nothing more powerful than veterans helping other veterans. I rise today to discuss the need to…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 270. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 8, 117TH CONGRESS Cardenas (Gomez) Carter (TX) (Calvert) DeSaulnier (Matsui) Frankel, Lois (Clark (MA)) Fulcher (Johnson…

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

Mankind has existed on this beautiful blue marble that we call Earth for nearly 200,000 years. Yet, just 118 years ago, we learned to fly in our own planet's atmosphere. As a nation, we are thirsty for something to rally behind, something…

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.

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 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 figure out how to scale up.

I thank Mr. Johnson for hosting this very important Special Order hour. I rise today to share my concerns about our crisis at the southern border. As a first-generation American, I understand the opportunities that this Nation provides and…

Great. I love the concept.

I think that is one of the metrics that is probably one of the most important if we are looking at this seriously in how to prevent it in the future.

I don't support mandatory vaccines as a qualification to work in any capacity.

It is a pleasure and an honor to be on CJS. This is my first subcommittee hearing.
