Yeah. That`s -- I mean, it`s potentially illegal what he`s doing.

It may actually be illegal, what he's doing.

President Biden walked in day one with an agenda to kill American energy.

But the gentleman was saying it wasn't bid on; the oil companies didn't want to do it. They did. They wanted to invest in America. An environmental group went to block it and got a court to go along with them. The normal practice is the…

Clearly the gentleman and I disagree on many of these items. Drilling in America is the cleanest way to produce oil in the world. If it is going to come from Russia, which I don't want, if it is going to come from any dictator, they…

For correction, that is not what I did. I actually went through how those 9,000 leases are being blocked by the President from being utilized properly.

A number of problems with the way that the President's plan was described is that that is not what the President has done. The President has worked aggressively through many of his Federal agencies to, in fact, block the production of oil…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for next week. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the majority leader of the House.

The teachers' unions very clearly gave millions of dollars to not only this administration but Democrats across the board.

And it just seems like the entire Biden administration has been siding with the unions against parents over and over again.

The unions wanted to close them.

Dr. Fauci testified in our committee almost a year ago, but he testified schools should be open.

He is saying we would appreciate that opportunity.

We did ask Dr. Fauci weeks ago; as a normal practice, the majority has the majority of witnesses, but we have the opportunity to invite a witness; we don't have to check with the majority.

I appreciate the witnesses again.

Roughly, $200 billion dollars in taxpayer money was spent with the intention of safely reopening schools.

The Biden administration abandoned medical science and replaced it with political science.

The public has lost a lot of trust in public health officials over the last two years.

I think he should be part of this hearing. I sure hope we rectify that soon.

There are many areas where we have been unified in our response to Ukraine, but it is not unifying to say leave Russia's oil off the table in terms of sanctions. That was left out by President Biden. When he issued sanctions he…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for next week. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the majority leader of the House.

We know from other studies that kids who don't learn proficiently, especially in reading and some of the basic skills, if they don't read, for example, by the third grade, that they are more likely to leave school without a diploma than…

Suicides through the roof. Again, looking at the data, suicide attempts by 12-to 17-year-old girls are at 51 percent from early 2019 to 2021.

Despite Joe Biden as a candidate saying we are going to follow the science, he has manipulated the science in the past about union bosses.

And if Democrats continue to hold a posture that prioritizes COVID precautions over learning, how to live in a world where COVID exists but does not dominate, they risk paying dearly for it in November.
