President Biden has dedicated more time trying to get healthcare workers fired if they don't get vaccinated than he has spent on alternatives like therapeutics to keep families safe.

The only strategy they seem wedded to is one that increases government control over people's lives with more illegal mandates.

Despite these facts, after nearly a year in office, President Biden still has no real strategy to protect American families from COVID.

It is a true testament to President Trump's Operation Warp Speed that anyone in America who wants the COVID vaccine can get that vaccine and its fully paid for.

Americans have had enough.

I share that sentiment the gentleman had, and hopefully, we can achieve those bipartisan victories. As you mentioned, H.R. 3537 would be a tremendous victory for people who struggle with ALS to continue to seek out new therapies and be…

I thank the gentleman for that update. As it relates to the debt ceiling, we had a discussion a few weeks ago relating to the debt ceiling. Would there be a bipartisan negotiation? We haven't had that so far. Is there anticipation that…

I thank the gentleman for that update. As it relates to tomorrow's schedule, as the gentleman from Maryland said, it could be fluid, depending on how the CR is processed in the Senate. If the CR does not pass the Senate tonight, are there…

I rise for the purpose of inquiring of the majority leader the schedule for next week. I yield to my friend, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), to talk about the schedule for next week. {time} 1815

So for the three remaining committees, we have Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, and Judiciary that still haven't been scored. Would all of those be at least in a table? The remaining committees that have not been scored, would they be…

I thank the gentleman. So regarding the CBO score, right now we are probably at about one-third of the bill being scored. Would it be expected that it wouldn't come up until the full 100 percent would be scored or something less than that…

I thank the gentleman from Maryland for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I would like to request if the gentleman could let us know what the schedule is expected to be for the remainder of today. Obviously, the reports are that there may be a CBO…

The JCT is obviously important, and I appreciate that the gentleman said there would be a JCT score, but on the CBO score, there have been some significant changes made in the Rules Committee since those CBO conversations. Would that be…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. As we anticipate possible votes tonight, possible votes tomorrow, the two major pieces of legislation that are still out there, and specifically the bill that went before the Rules Committee yesterday…

It is the Democrats that have dumped trillions of printed dollars into our economy, causing massive inflation.

The solution to these problems is not more government interference; it's less.

It was the Democrats who put in place an eviction moratorium, harming thousands of small businesses and retirees.

It was the Democrats who extended the massive unemployment insurance program, incentivizing people not to work.

It's interesting that OSHA is not a part of this hearing. And I'll reiterate, what we should be having a hearing on is things like this latest scandal that the National Institutes of Health just confirmed, that you've got EcoHealth…

We need to have a hearing on this scandal.

We stand ready to work, if there is bipartisan efforts made. We will see if that develops. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

We all negotiated on the three different debt ceiling increases that happened under the Trump administration, including CARES and the Paycheck Protection Program. They were very bipartisan. Does the gentleman disagree with that?

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), my friend, the majority leader.

I think you`re seeing most members get tired of the witch hunts and the games.

Whoever was responsible for doing this, they need to be held accountable.
