Democrats wasted no time gratifying the whims of Big Labor after taking hold the levers of Federal power.

We believe the democrat party wants to exert maximum power over people's lives.

The economic hangover created by the pandemic does not have to last forever.

The agenda discourages entrepreneurs and drowns American businesses with onerous regulations.

We need to defend the police, not defund the police.

We strongly urge President Biden and Vice President Harris to actually visit the border.

If you want to get the drug problem under control, one thing you could do is take the border crisis seriously.

We have got to do something about that. And that is in our hands.

We have all, in bipartisan fashion, condemned the Sackler family. We want to hold the Sackler family accountable.

We are here today having another hearing, the second in six months, on Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family.

I would respectfully argue that probably more than the terrorists, the drug cartels of Mexico control the government more so than some of the elected leaders down there.

Mr. Keefe donated thousands of dollars exclusively to Democrats-and Stacey Abrams-linked groups in the last election cycle, so perhaps this is the Democrats' way of paying him back by helping him reach No. 1 in that third book category.

Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers undoubtedly must be held to account for their contribution to the growing opioid epidemic, but this hearing is not doing that.

So instead of arguing with Republicans, I think you need to argue with Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and you need to argue with Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, or Steny Hoyer, the majority leader, who…

We agree that the bankruptcy rules are probably in their favor, and that is a terrible thing to have on their side.

Every Republican on this committee wants to hold the Sackler family accountable. Every Republican on this committee has stated today and in the previous committee hearing that the Sacklers are bad actors.

I think that what needs to happen is you need to have a markup and a hearing on the bill, and that has got to happen in the Judiciary Committee.

I fear you are doing more damage than good by interfering in these ongoing court cases.

We strongly support a patent system that encourages innovation. However, we certainly don't want to see a patent system that is abused.

The Biden Administration and the House Democrats have lost a lot of credibility when we talk about the patent system.

The result, despite constant vilification by the Democrats, was the fastest vaccine development in history with the first vaccine approved in less than 12 months from the first discovery of COVID-19.

Nobody wants to see price gouging. Nobody wants to see excessive CEO pay on the backs of hardworking Americans.

America's robust patent system enables enormous investments in the research and development of new medications, more generic drug competition, and new technologies to promote patient adherence.

Democrats will say, 'We just need to spend more money,' since that is their measure of success.

Of course, the Democrats want to therefore make the drug offenses legal.
