The question is, do we give people time to adjust to their lives? And I think that’s my biggest concern, is that we’re being compassionate.

I’m all for trimming the government, but I am all for also doing it in a deliberate manner that allows people to adjust in their lifestyle.

Why is a supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?

If we continue to grow the size of government, and we can't afford it, it’s going to have shortfalls in your Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.

My understanding is when you say you have this many employees that you have to cut, that organization decides who to cut

A lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI

I think there's going to be a debate on it.

Dr. Daszak continues to talk congressional oversight through semantics and outright dishonesty, quite frankly.

How does it make any sense that new sanctions are going to help us when the old sanctions did not help us to begin with?

It is my opinion that the Iranian government is perhaps the most notorious government we have to deal with foreign affairs, sponsoring terror all over world right now.

When you start requiring people to do something instead of encouraging, the natural resistance... will be to resist what you're requiring.

When you insert yourself between a doctor and a patient... people are going to say, why does the government have authority to do that?

I think it's ironic that this scientific achievement will forever be tainted by the government's handling of COVID-19.

It has been my experience in my over 20 years of Marine Corps and Navy experience around the world, whether it be in Africa, or the Middle East, or the Far East, or anywhere else we are in combatant zones, that evil people only understand…

You cannot trust them and what I want is clear, that help us to end this regime.

Despite what the current Administration would like to think Iran continues to be a malign influence around the world.

The government gets to decide something more than anybody with an inalienable right to make their own decisions.

We all make a decision. It is as American as putting your kids in the back of a wagon and going west.

It's interesting that when they talk about censoring and politization of something, only one side that I remember was ever censored, and it was our side.

I totally agree that early hypotheses change. As for the politization of this and the accusations made that this is entirely political, I think we do have something to learn about finding out the true origins of this disease.

I think we have to hold to our guns and reward good behavior, not bad.

Are we willing to turn off that spigot of funding if they are going to be bad actors?

I am concerned that China was part of that because of obvious reasons.

I was censored, censored by the government, who had not treated one COVID patient.

I don't think we can learn from this if we are not being honest.
