I think you’re going to get some really tough questions.

When I call a Cabinet member and ask them to do it, I have not had anyone tell me no.

There has been a pattern of discrimination, and I think from what I have listened to, you want to clean it up today, right?

So, we terminated Ms. Washington 3 weeks after you were made aware of it.

Do you think that is worthy of investigating?

Would you expect them to be terminated as well?

So, we really--the auto industry does not need that. We should not be giving incentives then because there is no mandate.

I have a concern that the EV mandates make us more dependent on China.

There are no mandates by the EPA as it pertains to combustion engines by the year 2030?

We should not tolerate boondoggles as consumers, but we also should not tolerate them as taxpayers.

Taxpayers deserve an accounting of why we are not getting what we paid for as promised.

I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.

Your ability to tolerate this behavior is completely unacceptable, and sometimes you do need to use the stick because disincentives work.

$3 billion. $66 billion on illegals, $3 billion on people who have laid down their lives for this country.

Maybe we could find that out of that $66 billion, right, different between million and billion, big difference, we could funnel some more of that $66 billion to our homeless veterans.

We care about our homeless veterans. We care about our veterans, and yes, we care about them a little bit more than we care about people who have broken the law to get here illegally.

I know we have talked about the numbers, but I think it bears repeating. The Federal Government spent over $66 billion on illegal immigrants in 2023, according to the Federation for American Immigration.

I think it is interesting that you have all the Republicans asking questions right now. So I appreciate this hearing, Mr. Chairman. Clearly, we care, and I know you do.

Do you believe in capitalism?

Have you ever owned a business?

Is that yes, you have owned a business, or no, that is not.

For too long, this Administration has allowed Federal employees to skirt by on lax telework policies on the back of American taxpayers.

I am probably one of the last people in Congress that you will hear fighting just for Wall Street to make one more dollar.

What I am looking for is how do we plan now and what steps do we need to take now to make sure we have sustainability and we do not end up in a crisis.

People are logical. I mean, if I do not have to workout and I can eat McDonald's and stay a supermodel, I would do that.
