We have to have an administration that has the political will to do it, and it doesn't.

This administration doesn't understand. We can remove ourselves from child slave labor by mining in the United States.

We need to mine in the United States so we hold the destiny in the palm of our own hands.

We are seeing that WOTUS is one rule that is definitely disastrous for farmers and small businesses.

One of the things that I hear from small businesses back home, again, as I said, the regulations and the frustrations of government interference, and to me it is unacceptable having been a small business owner myself for 31 years.

I can answer that for you. It is $201 billion of additional regulations that you put on small business. That is just unacceptable.

I think you have a very tough job to try and defend this disastrous administration with the inflation and materials, increase in materials pricing for small businesses that are being devastated today.

Therefore, I regret that my ESA Flexibility Act was not accepted as an amendment, but I look forward to the eventual passage of the ESA Flexibility Act into law.

It does not have to be this way. We can bring gas prices down with Republican solutions. As the ranking member of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee, I call on my colleagues in this body today to do the right thing and vote for…

Rail safety is ever present both in those communities that have rail lines running through them.

The Democrats know it. That's why they've embarked on an aggressive rebrand.

Let me be clear: this bill is designed to make mining in America all but impossible, not easier.

We need mining in America.

A common theme we have heard in the contracting space is that prime contracting opportunities for small businesses are dwindling at an alarming rate.

The Administration must offer oil and gas lease sales both onshore and offshore.

I would be doing a disservice to the American people if I did not again discuss the damage inflicted on the livelihoods of Americans by Joe Biden's policymaking, or lack thereof.

I think we need to, we are really looking for your leadership when you are in the meetings with President Biden and his cabinet to really support small businesses.

The strategic petroleum reserve really should be held for national emergencies, not failed policies.

Without a properly trained and prepared workforce pipeline, our trades industry will continue to see a reduction of qualified talent for decades to come.

Whenever we talk about investments in our infrastructure, we should be talking about the real infrastructure that ordinary Americans rely on: roads, bridges, broadband, ports, airports, and the like.

Would it be your opinion that an additional regulatory burden on small businesses to the tune of $201 billion, is that good or bad for small business?
