Do you think that the Biden Administration's proposal to place a ban on gas stoves nationwide will reduce energy prices for people in my district?

It is really unfortunate to hear energy crisis stories, energy poverty stories where a mother has to choose between feeding her family or paying the electric bill.

I am pro-forest management, which would certainly help with reduce of carbon emissions that are emitted with the catastrophic wildfires.

The Biden Administration's all-out war on domestic American energy has resulted in record high inflation.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is my honor to introduce Andy Mueller, General Manager of the Colorado River Water Conservation District.

I don't think that any of us are climate change deniers. I fully agree that the climate is changing.

I think when the Federal Government allocates infrastructure dollars, it should go toward infrastructure.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 9, line 4, strike ``and''. Page 9, line 9, strike the semicolon, closed quotation marks, and period…

This amendment is simple and straightforward. My amendment simply requires notification to parents if their child's school operates, sponsors, or facilitates athletic programs or activities to permit a person whose biological sex is male…

I am just wondering if my colleagues on the other side would put babies on the endangered species list.

We do differ in our hearts because they are doing nothing to save lives in the womb.

The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting, unless you are talking about hunting tyrants, maybe.

My constituents need the gray wolf to be delisted. We ask that this Administration follow the science.

While well intentioned, the ESA has been weaponized, and we need to restore some balance to this process.

I helped to lead the charge to secure millions of dollars at the Federal level and legislation signed into law to compensate ranchers for wolf depredations.

These people deserve a voice as the fake news and wolf proponents often try to dismiss their stories and say they never even happened.

We are flooding our Central Valley with water right now because we haven't built the dams we need to hold our water resources.

Shamefully, some of these groups have also profited immensely from these slimy tactics.

The objective of folks on the other side of the aisle is eliminating hunting, lock up our lands, further restrict gun rights, and pander to the interests of extreme environmentalists who don't understand our rural way of life.

Gray wolves are fully recovered, and should remain delisted in the Lower 48, and they should be managed by states who have proven more than capable at managing these thriving populations.

I was surprised to read that the Fish and Wildlife Services opposed my bill when career officials at your very agency wrote the same 2020 rules reissued by my bill.

For far too long, the Endangered Species Act has been weaponized by extremists, extremist environmentalists, to obstruct common-sense, multiple-use activities that they disagree with.

I am thrilled to see my bill, H.R. 764, the Trust the Science Act, included in this hearing.

I do want to say before my opening remarks, since we are talking about the Endangered Species Act, I am just wondering if my colleagues on the other side would put babies on the endangered species list.
