This whole equity stuff needs to go away. This woke stuff needs to go away.

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund was really the first part of the woke agenda.

Every person who is a restaurant owner should be treated the same way.

If you are going to be giving out government grants, let's make sure that everyone has the same opportunity.

There are too many in this world who cast doubts on science as a tool, and they actively lobby international institutions to adopt their anti-innovation agenda.

Long before anybody had ever heard of COVID-19, I was on the House floor, and working in bipartisan fashion with many Members of this Committee to make sure that we could address something called African Swine Fever.

So you would recommend that the government do everything possible in order to protect the country, not allow those hogs and hog products to come in our country and disease our population, correct?

It would just be devastating if it came into the United States. And it wouldn't just be pork producers.

This is really a subject we are going to continue to press upon. It would be just devastating to our consumers, and everybody in the hog industry, if we had an outbreak in the United States.

So you recommend common sense regulations, streamlined regulations, working internationally, and everything else, right?

let's quit micromanaging the economy, let's quit dumping cash into the economy at a time when businesses aren't ready to respond and spurring more inflation, shortages of products, services, labor, you name it.
