You're either for stopping sexual assault, domestic abuse, and child abuse, or you're not.

Every minute in the United States, 20 people will experience domestic violence.

These numbers aren't just statistics, they're people.

It's very clear to me that getting these players back on the field was more important than addressing incidences of sexual assault, domestic violence, even child abuse.

Do you take full responsibility for those tragic deaths? Does Takata take responsibility?

I think this is the year of the airbags.

Would I be accurate in assuming that you can't be assured, 100 percent assured, not knowing that the necessary changes were made in these airbags?

Thank you also for having this and holding this hearing.

But before I begin, I want to acknowledge the lives that were lost due to the Takata airbags.

If our 18-year-old daughter were to drive that car today, a 2007 Honda Civic, would she be safe?

Veterans being forced to wait for care from the VA can be very detrimental.

I think it is unfortunate. No one gets hit more than low-income and middle-income families, and I just think it is unfair.

I think most have recognized that the current models of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac cannot remain.

Veterans in need of mental health treatment absolutely cannot be waiting more than 2 months to be seen.

This claims backlog is an issue that I have brought up during every Committee hearing because I believe it should be a top priority of the VA and of this Committee itself.

We must take care of every veteran from here on out that comes home.

NHTSA plays a vital role in ensuring the highest standards in motor vehicles and highway safety.

In this case, GM withheld safety information, but it was because they were incompetent, not because they were nefarious.

Here's my concern, and I appreciate the answer to that question, if these grants are too prescriptive, my concern is that for Nevada--it will lead to Nevada opting out for applying to some of these grants.

After multiple hearings, I've come to the conclusion that General Motors bears the majority of the blame.

As I mentioned, Nevada's goal is zero fatalities on the road, and I'm assuming that Missouri has similar goals.

Do you agree that the funding needs to be as flexible as possible to address different states specific needs?

Perhaps minus the Tesla locating in the State of Nevada. It was a terrific opportunity for him to discuss with you, as myself, the concerns that we both share about Nevada's veterans.

I think it may take some legislation to expand this care and I am eager to help your Administration move forward on these initiatives.

Secretary McDonald has showed he is committed to bringing a new vision and reforms to the VA.
