I introduced the Rebuild Rural America Act (H.R. 2361) with my colleagues, Reps. Bustos, Craig, and Spanberger.

The Pentagon has known this for years, and yet, they have not come up to the Hill and asked that we not count the housing allowance toward total income so that those people who are struggling could actually get SNAP.

The bottom line is that the powers that be haven't done anything about it.

I think, all too often, the voices of people with lived experiences are left out of policymaking.

These people give you food. You walk out of the building with food. There is no red tape in between.

All of us should be ashamed.

We have to act. We have to do something.

I commend President Biden for his hard work to take these supply chain challenges head on.

I was proud to support the creation of an Under-21 Commercial Driver Pilot Program to empower those 18 to 21 that want to enter a career in truck driving.

I was a proud original cosponsor, and proud to vote for the Farm Workforce Modernization Act (H.R. 1603), a common-sense bipartisan bill that would reform our broken immigration system.

I was proud to cosponsor H.R. 4966, the Ocean Shipping Reform Act. This legislation would help reduce port congestion.

I believe strongly, ladies and gentlemen, that if we do not address this immediate concern of getting 15,000 more truck drivers...

I asked you to say five simple words. The election was not stolen. And you were unwilling to say them then. Can you say those five words?

[t]heir bipartisan bill aims to recalibrate the balance of power between the president and congress by reclaiming congressional oversight of arms sales, emergency declarations, and the use of military force

I have been pressing this Administration, the Biden Administration, to convene a White House Conference on Food, Nutrition, Health, and Hunger.

I think that is a good point.

We want to hear how Olympic sponsors can help us deny the Chinese government its propaganda coup.

Companies have a choice on how to advertise during the Olympics in China.

Would your company be willing to ask the IOC to postpone the Olympics to allow time for the Chinese government to stop its atrocities and relocate if they do not?

I intend to reach out to the Moroccan foreign ministry to ask that they withhold any removal proceedings, given the danger that Yidiresi faces in the PRC.

Now, if we can delay an Olympics for a year for a pandemic--and that's what happened in Tokyo--we certainly can delay it for a year for a genocide.

Now we ask you, as American companies, to do your part.
