Jon Tester

Largely due to your leadership, this Committee had a historic year in terms of the number and scope of bills we've had signed into law.

I can filibuster you better than you can filibuster me.

Hey, happy holidays, everybody. It's a -- it's the night we're going to be voting on the tax bill. I just got the tax bill 25 minutes ago.

I think it is key that the regulators need to work to share information so that they are not being duplicative.

I think we need to get the right information.

I think there are 20 cosponsors, 10 D's, 10 R's.

I think coordination of care is the real key here, and I think that's the challenge VA is going to face.

To be honest with you, in rural areas of this country, it becomes pretty tough to do, especially when you need whatever prescription it is yesterday.

I think that the ranking member makes a good point. You need to really get them tricked out so you can use them if you're going to have a replacement, you can study them to death.

Look, there are other things out--I mean, I've read that marijuana can help.

The challenge VA is going to face. As more veterans are getting care out in the community.

If we really want to be able to track them, need to be prescribed by the VA.

What happened to this family should never happen.

I agree with you 100 percent.

Thank you for being here, and thank you for your willingness to serve.

We have not marked up that homeland security appropriations bill.

I would hope you would fight hard for that.

I think it is a really important program, just to let the cat out of the bag on what I believe about it.

I have never been a big fan. There are a number of reasons why.

The question is, if you take the initiative to be able to empower the other members on this Board, it is going to make this Ex-Im Bank much more effective.

Gosh, darn it. And people wonder why we do not like Washington, DC.

I do not care if you are Democrat or Republican as long as you are willing to do the job that is in there.

I think we can all agree that that is what needs to be done.

I think that this is an instructive piece of information, and it is instructive because what it tells me is that we are going to continue down this road until we start looking at root causes.

Are we doing repairs to a horrible distribution system? Or are we fixing a horrible distribution system?
