We have to give workers back their right to organize. This a human right.

You can raise the minimum wage. That is going to focus on those at the very bottom.

There are 70 million American families that make under $75,000 a year. They have, by and large, not had a meaningful raise in the last 40 years.

And this law is critical because it provides a protected channel for whistleblowers in the intelligence community to expose unlawful behavior, waste, fraud, or abuse even if it involves classified information.

Why is it important that inspector generals have the ability to make independent decisions about whistleblower complaints and have that authority?

One of the things that we've been talking about as a country for the longest time, but don't do anything, is Medicare for All.

Yes, we keep talking about this. We keep having folks like you come testify, and nothing gets done.

Medicare for All will finally give the government the ability to negotiate and lower these drug prices.

Someone has got to resolve this. While China is competing... we're stifled because our Federal Government can't get its act together.

I support this legislation, your legislation, on the Restore the Partnership Act and how necessary it is.

In the spirit of congratulations, I will note two unique parts of this hearing because of your leadership, Mr. Chairman, and Ranking Member Meadows.

We are going to have eight more speakers because this was such a collaborative effort, so I hope the speakers will limit themselves to 1 minute or less so we can get everyone in. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Washington (Mr…

So it's a little ironic that he's accusing you of being biased. I mean, he is the one who picked you to lead this organization.

I suggest that one way that we can move forward and start doing the country's business is to have that reasonable compromise.
