Jody Hice

The title of the hearing today, 'The Administration's Religious Liberty Assault on LGBTQ Rights,' is in itself, to me, a fundamental misconception of reality.

I do think it is pertinent for us to have a discussion about the welfare system and whether or not it works.

The protection of whistleblowers these days become very much twisted in politics.

This is nothing but an attempt by the majority in a 3-year-long process by their party to take any and every opportunity to undermine or embarrass this President. But be assured that this politically-motivated resolution nor any evil that…

I think that is unnecessary and there is no reason for us to create an atmosphere of attacking the president on something constitutionally based as the census is.

Yet, what seems to hijack every one of these census hearings is the citizenship question... it is important for us to know how many people here who are citizens.

The Democrats' new definition for evidence is allegations, allegations based on hearsay, I might add. So, they hurl allegations against the President, and then they say to him that it is not their responsibility to prove guilt but the…

I am just curious, your thoughts and discussions of how this would impact DPAA.

So we are not talking months and months.

So once a servicemember is identified, and this is the question I asked Ms. Shirley earlier, what kind of timeframe from that point until when the family is able to receive their loved one and have a proper interment, or whatever they want…

But you don't always have those sufficient lines. So how do you make a determination?

I want to thank all of our panelists for the incredible work you do. All of us here feel that what you do is not only worthwhile, it is necessary.

This is, frankly, one of those organizations we all hope and pray no one ever needs, but when it is needed we want it to function effectively and properly.

We all are here to owe an enormous debt of gratitude to our service men and women who maintained for us the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy here in this country.

It is estimated that about 82,000 American servicemembers remain unaccounted for from past conflicts, and we need to do everything we can to bring them home.

So once an individual is identified, we are talking weeks before the family--wow, that is amazing.

The law is not according to what was just identified by my colleague

I continue to call on my Democratic colleagues to provide our law enforcement men and women the resources they need to solve this crisis.

Members of this committee who have sought to review transcripts have been turned away.

The deposition in this partisan impeachment inquiry is not so cut-and-dry.

Arbitrary rules imposed by Chairman Schiff have created an unprecedented secrecy around the inquiry.

The choice was, unfortunately, very easy for other members to make.

The House majority has created a scheduling conflict.

We violate the Constitution. We have 17 enumerated powers. Everything else is to be left to the states.
