I am honored that we are holding this hearing in my district to honor the lives lost on September 11 and the grief that families who lost loved ones continue to experience.

I, and I know my colleagues here, commit to doing everything we can to ensure these resources remain sufficient and robust to stem any future terrorist attacks.

This is the taxpayer funded defense and political arm of Donald Trump. The fact that a three committee Congressional investigation is looking into the plea deal of a private citizen, by the way, a plea deal that was entered into by a Trump…

Joe Biden had nothing to do with Hunter Biden's business dealings, derive no benefit from it, received no money, and did not know about anything that Hunter Biden was doing.

I don't think that's an accurate description. And I would urge Chairman Comer, rather than to continue to send out misinformation about what transpired in the transcribed interview to actually put out the transcript which he can do as soon…

I will disagree with that every single day and every single minute.

So, you try to stop fentanyl from coming into the United States, right?

We are trying to stop the fentanyl from coming in, and there is no question and there is bipartisan agreement.

I want to thank Tim Burchett and Anna Paulina Luna for their leadership in pushing this hearing forward.

If my colleagues were serious about these allegations, they would have gone through the proper steps to ensure this investigation was done correctly, but they did not.

What kind of basis is this for a serious investigation?

They did not take the time to check their facts, and that the Republicans even admitted during questioning that they never interviewed or asked questions or sought to ask questions of these individuals.

It is clear to me that this Majority will stop at nothing to try to impeach President Biden.

It is my view, as a former lawyer, I guess current lawyer, that the migrant crisis is a threat to public health and safety in New York City and that an emergency declaration--that it would qualify for an emergency declaration under the…

I want to briefly address some of the comments that you did not have an opportunity to respond to from my distinguished colleague from Oklahoma about the impact of climate change on natural disasters around the country and around the world.

I would ask you, as the administrator for FEMA, to stop reimbursing those towns who are bussing migrants against their will.

I am concerned that FEMA is reimbursing cities, towns, localities on the Southern Border who are shipping migrants to New York City against--potentially against their will.

I would just make a strong, strong plea to recognize that those cities who have welcomed, supported, provided shelter, housing, health care, vaccines, shots, and assistance in making sure that those seeking a better life are able to do…

We in New York City are incredibly proud of the efforts that the city is making to welcome and support migrants who are escaping horrific conditions in their own countries to seek the American Dream.

I want to focus a little bit on Ukraine and the money that the U.S. Congress has appropriated to support our democratic ally against an illegal, unwarranted, and global altering war of aggression by an authoritarian dictator, Vladimir…

What else can we do as Members of Congress to strengthen your hand to stop the flow of the profits?

I hope my colleagues across the aisle will continue to join me in calling for responsible action, like expanding these transnational criminal investigative units and putting more resources toward our ports of entry, instead of throwing…

It is not a blank check. It is a check that has already been authorized by Congress that the Administration has the discretion to use as it sees fit.

I think it is shameful that the Republicans on the other side of the aisle are effectively taking the side of Vladimir Putin against the democracy in Ukraine.

You are handcuffing our ability to support Ukraine against a brutal, dangerous, unwarranted, unprovoked, and wholly improper attack by a dictatorial regime.
