Byron Donalds

But, Madam Chair, what is the purpose of this hearing?

Especially in light of the testimony by Mr. Goodell, how does continuing this hearing actually relate to a legitimate task of Congress in the face of record high inflation, record high gas prices, a completely unsecured border, a fentanyl…

It is without question that the American Rescue Plan has led to inflation.

It was in blue states that the job market did not respond as well.

I find it interesting that we are talking about the American Rescue Plan since it just didn't work, guys.

It should never be tolerated. The only thing I would say is that if we`re going to discuss the facts surrounding January 6th, let`s discuss them all.

The real question is what did Nancy Pelosi know about these troops and what did Muriel Bowser, the mayor of D.C., do with the National Guard troops that were in in D.C. on the 6th?

It was a tragedy for the nation. Nobody is allowed to breach a federal building. And I mean nobody. It doesn`t matter what side of politics you`re on.

The issue is much more about mental health than it is about the ability to acquire firearms.

What is being discussed on Capitol Hill right now would not have stopped the shootings in Uvalde and it wouldn`t have stopped the shootings in Buffalo. The Democrats in Congress just want to implement their agenda. They do not care who…

I do not think the SBA really has a clue of what its capacity really is.

We have shut down community banking in the United States through Dodd-Frank regulation.

I have got a proposal for you.

Under the president's tax proposals, he is calling for rises in the top marginal tax rate back to, I believe, 39.6.

I do appreciate you coming. We are still waiting for Secretary Yellen to materialize in the halls of Congress.

The real threat to the American people, which is fentanyl trafficking by the drug cartels into the United States, and they are using radical immigration policy by Joe Biden to kill more Americans here.

We have a new opioid crisis, folks, and it is not from big pharma in the United States; it is from the drug cartels who operate pharmaceutical sites below the southern border in Mexico.

We are wasting more time in Congress. This hearing, although the opioid epidemic from pharmaceutical manufacturers in the United States was a serious problem in our country for a period of time, many states, like my state of Florida, like…

So to make the argument that books are being banned when they are going through the legal course of action to talk to their representatives, I think is very hyperbolic and is not actually correct about the process that is being used to…

What I am saying is do parents or a large part of the community at large have an ability to lobby or engage with their elected officials on the local level to decide what's in the room? I would say the answer to that is yes.

The U.S. Government should be giving the Postal Service more billions of dollars to acquire batteries that, literally, come from the Communist Chinese Party

I think it goes without, frankly, saying that we take all of these threats against any university seriously, specifically with what appears to be systematic threats against HBCUs.

I understand the importance of America's HBCUs and the value they add to the landscape of higher education in the United States.

To begin, over a dozen HBCUs received bomb threats on the first day of Black History Month.

We literally shut down the economy in the United States.
