I think you've seen a change that the White House has been reaching out more to the Arab-American Muslims community, hearing their hurt.

So I'm going to answer this very differently which is Michigan is a purple state. And I've been saying that for a long time. We are a state that frequently votes uncommitted.

They need this cease-fire – then we sit down and talk.

I cannot tell you how many people I know who have lost grandparents, some parents, aunts and uncles and cousins, families who have lost 20 or 40 members.

I am concerned that America's confidence in--in the safety and efficacy of vaccines is of critical importance to our Nation's public health.

For 50 years, the ESA has protected and brought back many of our beloved species from the brink of extinction, and has a 99 percent success rate. I believe we need to continue to protect this Act.

A critical part of species conservation is taking steps to proactively address declines before they occur.

Unfortunately, we know that there are some who are all too eager to repeal these health care plans without a plan to keep costs low and coverage high for millions of people.

Thanks to lowered premiums under the American Rescue Plan and renewed under the Inflation Reduction Act, more families than ever before will be able to access the care that they need, when they need it.

We are going to get another pandemic, and we need to be ready for it.

I am disappointed that we are even having this hearing today because I keep repeatedly hearing, over the course of this hearing how responsive the Administration has been to the Select Committee, rather they are not.

The facts are that we have heard nearly 80 hours of voluntary testimony from 11 current or former HHS officials.

I will let the poor witnesses that have been here, but I wanted to call and tell them I will read everything that they said, and show my support for you, Mr. Chairman.

We've got to show some empathy and compassion. A Jewish baby and a Palestinian baby are babies. I don't want to see any baby die. So, first of all, we've got to take that on. We've got to get a cease-fire. This has to stop.
