I think it's really important that we keep that funding, that we support law enforcement across the country.

We know that law enforcement and keeping people safe shouldn't be a partisan issue.

We have to get away in this country from thinking 'density' is a bad word. Density is the future.

I do think there is a Federal purpose and a role for the Federal Government as it relates to zoning across the country.

It is a travesty also that in the wealthiest, most powerful country in history, we have over 650,000 of our fellow Americans that are homeless.

The shortage of affordable housing costs us all approximately $2 trillion a year due to lower wages and productivity.

I served as Mayor of Long Beach for 8 years prior to just joining the Congress last year, and so issues around housing, commercial sector viability, kind of real estate markets, and how we are ensuring that the most vulnerable are…

We have a massive shortage demand. We have a massive need for additional tenant support across this country.

the biggest bank in the world is from China. The Department of Justice found that that same bank was being used as a front to funnel money into North Korea.

the Emoluments Clause is really important. We know that foreign influence on a President is clearly a serious threat.

We know that Donald Trump, for example, gave his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a job at the White House.

we have actually evidence that China funneled cash to Donald Trump through his businesses while he was President.

there is a lot of corruption that we can talk about.

It is completely ridiculous for Republicans to claim to get tough on China while they are working with literal Chinese agents.

All the while he continues to espouse extremism and violence by claiming falsely that he won the 2020 election.

Trump then suggested the United States should instead bring more people from countries such as Norway because apparently they are nice immigrants.

He said, no, they're not humans. They're animals.

I am sorry you had to listen to a lot of misinformation right now and throughout this hearing.

His rhetoric is wrong and disturbing and his policies are actually worse.

In 2018, he told Members of Congress in the Oval Office when they discussed protecting immigrants from African countries that he didn't want any migrants from what he called 'shithole countries,' and that is his quote, not mine.

The impeachment sham against you is dead on arrival in the Senate.

We know that in 2016 Donald Trump launched his campaign by pointing out that Mexicans are essentially rapists and murderers.

There are millions of people who do not have the choice, who cannot get vaccinated because it might be too young.

I just want to reiterate that for the public.

We lost 1.3 million American lives. In my city alone, we lost almost 1,300 lives back home in California.
