Countries that bankrupt themselves aren't around very long.

We are spending more and yet we got half the ships and half the planes we had in 1985. This is unacceptable.

the situation at the border is an unmitigated disaster, and it is about to get a whole lot worse potentially.

With all due respect, Mr. McCord, that is nuts.

I happen to agree with Ronald Reagan that defense is not a budget issue. You spend what you need to spend in order to protect the country.

So, you would place the climate in the same category as China or the national debt.

Until they quit suing, until we quit giving them the ability to hold up the management, there is no amount of money and no number of staff that are going to be able to fix the problem with our forests.

The Forest Service used to have what was called the 10 a.m. rule.

This is insane. Please tell me that you are dropping that policy and that you will be vigorously attacking fires on their initial discovery rather than waiting for them to become these massive conflagrations.

Will the Forest Service support legislation to extend this provision across all Forest Service lands?

Every day, the Forest Service had helicopters flying over to take pictures for Facebook but never bothered to drop a bucket of water or put the damn thing out.

the primary culprits bogging down responsible management and recovery of our overgrown fire-prone forests have been and remain onerous regulatory burdens and the continued weaponization of our courts by activist environmental groups
