So you would say, and am I correct in saying, that the VA is using collective bargaining power in the market to lower the price of drugs as a counter to some of the for-profit or profit motive pressures, upward pressures from the cost of…

So the public is acting as early investor, putting tons of money into the development of drugs that then become privatized, and then they receive no return on the investment that they have made?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you all as our panelists here for lending your expertise and your insight to help us better legislate, and especially thank you to Dr. Georges as a professor at Lehman College for representing the Bronx…

It's absolutely risky. It requires risk to try something new, but also we know so much of what we've tried in the past hasn't worked either.

Would you be taking a creep shot of Steny Hoyer's behind and sharing it around? Why is there more comfort in doing that to me than there is in doing it to any other member of Congress?

When you look at the words that he uses, which are historic dog whistles of White Supremacy, when you look at how he reacted to the Charlottesville incident where Neo-Nazis murdered a woman, versus how he manufactures crises like…

Yes, yes. No question.

I don't think that that tells the whole story when you can't provide for your kids working a full-time job, working two full-time jobs, when you can't have health care. That is not dignified.

Well, I think that it only has ever been radicals that have changed this country.

There's an element where, yes, people are going to have to start paying their fair share in taxes.

That is the goal. It's ambitious.

I called on Pelosi to create a select committee on climate change without any members of Congress who accept money from the fossil fuel industry.

Absolutely. That's how I won my primary.

I think it's not just about identifying the problem; it's about coming up with a solution.

I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous. Wait 'till they find out congresswomen dance too. Have a great weekend, everyone.
