Mr. Speaker, reclaiming my time. We are failing miserably in American energy independence, with the rise of home heating costs and fuel. We see what has happened to our neighbors in the European Union. We see the rising costs. Certainly, Americans are worried about that, the rising cost of rent, the out-of- control inflation, the excessive government spending. I mean, we have that. But more importantly, we have our communities that are less safe because of the crisis at the border. The fentanyl crisis that is hitting every single community. I don't know that we have been leading. I want to, Mr. Speaker, go back to the specifics of the question that was asked here in terms of leading by showing up to work. I want to see if there is any kind of rational reason why we shouldn't show up in person to work. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New York.
