I want to just say what is true and what is not true. A query does not investigate a U.S. citizen. In many cases, it is acting on behalf of a U.S. citizen to keep them safe.

Many of them heard '100 percent safe and effective.' That is what they interpreted that to be, but they never qualified their statement.

When we started putting out mandates, you eliminated the physician, and that is what a lot of people struggled with.

We never explained mRNA technology is different from the technology of the other vaccines that have been around forever.

Yes, this vaccine saved hundreds of thousands of lives. I'll advocate for that anytime.

Words matter. That's one of the things I want to stress across the board from this Subcommittee at the end of the day.

Does Congress have the authority to investigate potential Federal records violations?

I hope that comes to an end.

Congress has a right to investigate and oversee Federal law.

The Department has produced documents that are simply unrelated to our requests.

It is time the Department answered some questions.

I am sorry we are even having this hearing today.

One of my highest priorities in Congress is H.R. 2630, the Safe Step Act, which I have worked on for several years with my colleague, Dr. Ruiz from California.

The Education and Workforce Committee is vital to advancing policies that help students learn, workers succeed, and job creators to thrive.

I have often said that we should be focused on moving Americans from welfare to work by providing them the tools that they need to be able to rise out of poverty.

We, the United States, can do that, and we need to do that.

This was not for defense of someone's families. It was not for love of a culture or heritage, but for a hate of one singular ethnic group.

We support freedom of religion, period. It is in our Constitution.

In America today, and when it comes to poverty issues, which I am very passionate about, we have one party that has policies that are pro-dependance and decrease opportunities for people to come out of poverty.

I am finding it hard to understand why we should take Federal dollars away from states with rural populations and lower cost of living to bail out states like California.

On October 13, 2023, we issued a subpoena to the Department after it failed to produce requested documents relating to Dr. David Morens' potentially illegal deposition--disposition, excuse me--illegal disposition of Federal records and…

I think that is huge because early on they are getting a vision of opportunity in their lives, and it is a great motivator.

But, as soon as the government said, 'You will.' You're going to have resistance.

Sidelining doctors during the COVID-19 pandemic was a massive mistake.

While vigorous disagreement is part of the legislative process, Members are reminded that we must adhere to established standards of decorum and debate.
