Well, that is the problem. That is our concern, because if there is no objective definition, if you can't tell me what severe is...

Mr. Gerard, does the Renewable Fuel Standard increase the actual cost of fuel? Yes. Economists and experts say it does.

And, therefore, would it be logical to assume that because the cost of production is up, that the cost to the consumer of those products, turkey, pork, and beef, is also going to be increased?

The law says the EPA can waive the Renewable Fuel Standard if 'implementation of a requirement would severely harm the economy of a State, region, or the United States.'

Even the Democrat witness said the Renewable Fuel Standard for cellulosic fuel shouldn't be increased.

Does the Renewable Fuel Standard increase the cost of producing turkey, Mr. Brandenberger? Absolutely.

So the real question is, from the EPA, why in the heck haven't you done what the law says you can do?

If there is one thing that we must not miss about this unspeakably evil episode, it is that Kermit Gosnell is not an anomaly in this gruesome Fortune 500 enterprise of killing unborn children.

As I have said many times, those of us who believe that America is the greatest nation on earth because of its cultural diversity have a special obligation to ensure the security of our borders so we can ensure the safety of the persons we…

Your end is very near, and your fall will be just as the fall of the Towers on the blessed 9/11 day.

We fight you and destroy you and terrorize you. The jihad is God's cause and a great duty in our religion.

So if our act of jihad and our fighting with you caused fear and terror, then many thanks to God because it's Him that has thrown fear into your hearts which has resulted in your infidelity, paganism, and your statement that God had a son…

America's been defeated again.

And you don't think we need to delay the implementation of this, even though the guy in the Senate who was so involved in putting it together, has said it is a huge train wreck?

They are learning now. I talk to business guys. They are learning now, trust me.

It is amazing to me. The very organization who is charged with enforcing Obamacare was systematically targeting conservative groups...

Do you find it troubling at all that the agency who has a significant role in enforcing the Affordable Care Act was systematically targeting groups who came into existence because they initially opposed the Affordable Care Act?

Does that trouble you as an American, that someone who is involved in putting together the implementation of the Affordable Care Act?

And you think you can get it all up and running in that time, even though the guy who helped write the bill, who was intricately involved, has a distinguished career in the Senate, calls it a huge train wreck?

So the guy who helped write the bill in the Senate is wrong.

I want her on the witness stand and be able to answer our questions, and what I do not want her to do is say, oh, I cannot because a criminal investigation is going on at the Department of Justice.

You do not have all that much credibility. There are lots of folks on this panel--I am not one of them, but there are lots of folks here who have called your resignation.

But the point is it has already happened. It has happened with other issues. This is the big one. This is people's First Amendment rights being violated.

I know for a fact Lois Lerner lied to me, she lied to our personal staff, she lied to Committee staff, she lied in correspondence to Mr. Issa and myself that we had sent her written correspondence.

Will you assure Congress and the American people that your investigation will not impede or slow the investigation Congress is doing into the Internal Revenue Service?
