It is child abuse to put a child in a mask all day long when we know masks don't make any difference.

Democrats love to create a problem and then create a solution to the problem using aggressive government.

This is an embarrassment, Mr. Chairman. We have Americans all across the United States.

This Committee needs to exercise its jurisdiction, exercise its jurisdiction over America's natural resources.

We can't just ban oil and think that all of a sudden it is going to solve problems.

When you defund the police and enact policies to embolden criminals, it often is the minority communities that pay the most egregious price.

I have introduced legislation that does that.

the Democrats want to relinquish Congress' constitutional power of the purse to the executive branch to establish debt levels.

The Democrats managed to reverse that achievement in a matter of months.

In the time that the Democrats controlled the Executive Branch, roughly 2 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended by Customs and Border Protection and, of these, roughly a million have been admitted into our country.

I might also touch on the tolls on our forests here in the Sierra Nevada.

I think you really should acknowledge that there are more than five factors that cause the problems that we're dealing with.

I have to admit that I joined this hearing largely out of curiosity over how the leftist Majority can turn anything, even natural resources policy, into a racial issue.

He ordered a halt to oil and gas leases on Federal land. He suspended oil drilling leases in Alaska.

The fact is the American people of all races, ethnicities, religions, and origins have suffered severely over the last year because of leftist policies that are driving the most alarming increase in crime and homelessness wherever they…
