But now at the risk of being kicked by my Chairperson here, I do want to note for the record that an industry leader just called for some more regulation.

So you would be in support of direct government spending on infrastructure?

I believe that you need to have a direct investment by government in addition to like we did through the FAST Act.

Am I overly dramatic to say you would have a traffic 'Armageddon' in that region?

What's going to happen if the Federal Government doesn't continue what we've seen in the last Congress and really step up to partner on the project?

I think it's a solid proposal, it's a fiscally wise proposal, and those investments will help to really make our economy boom, but not just for today, for tomorrow.

I still believe even with the progress that we've made, we're at a point in our Nation where we're in a crisis, we are in an infrastructure crisis.

That we are not in a strong and persistent bipartisan way directly engaged in understanding this threat and pushing back on this threat concerns me gravely.

They have committed atrocities in support of the murderous regime of Bashar al-Assad.

This is a moment and a challenge where this committee is particularly relevant in a way it has not been in the past decade.

I would say, at this point, it is unlikely that Assad goes.

To align ourselves with Iran and Russia in Syria would be very problematic, to me.

America's surface transportation network, which includes numerous public transportation agencies, railroads, and bus companies, is an essential component of our Nation's transportation system.

Now, Inspector Roth, you opened a review into the implementation of this Executive Order regarding refugees and the seven countries that were involved.

If they saw that Order from a Federal judge, just factually--in your experience as a lawyer--that is a violation of that Order?

When I got to Dulles Airport, the Executive Order clearly was issued. I had a copy of it in my hand and sought to meet with Customs and Border Patrol employees, but they declined to meet with me.

This Order, called by many a 'Muslim ban'--whether it's an anti-refugee ban or whatever label you want to put on it--clearly triggered nationwide protests and legal challenges.

I have really big concerns about our Nation's water infrastructure, especially as it affects rural areas in America.

Government must allow consumers and the market to decide IoT winners and losers, rather than dictating outcomes itself.

I think that is very important and shows again the priority that we have as it relates to Pyongyang.

I think THAAD is a very important piece of the strategic actions the United States needs to take.

I just want to make sure that you are committed to helping us to have transparency when it comes to loans.

Your attention to continuing that program is something that would be really helpful.

You are arrested almost four times more likely, which means you are four times more likely to be stripped of opportunities to compete economically.

Most Americans, one out of ten is violating drug laws, and, unfortunately, those drug laws are enforced disproportionately on poor people and minorities at rates that are astonishing if you are African American in this country.
