Political Quotes

“Thank you very, very much. I don't think anyone could say it any better than that. I appreciate as well your comments about coal because in my district, I have the only working coal mine in Missouri. In Missouri, 85 percent of our energy comes from coal.

Thank you very much for sharing that. Now I would like to go to my friend from Oklahoma, James Lankford, to hear his thoughts about EPA and how it is hurting Americans and how we can provide better solutions.”
