Jim Jordan

Chairman Jordan, you have a huge task in front of you as it relates to protecting the freedoms and liberties of Americans.

We believe our budget plan does that.

I don't necessarily think the American people want us to pass a whole lot more laws. What I think they want us to do is deal with the border situation and deal with the government that I think so many Americans think has been turned…

It is going to take resources, staff, and people to get to the bottom of all the things that are going on where the government we think has in many ways been turned against the very people it is supposed to represent and supposed to serve.

We are supposed to be stewards of the American people's money, good stewards.

We want to change that. That is part of why we are doing and asking for the budget requests that we are asking for.

If that doesn't warrant having a travel budget.

Could potentially make millions of law-abiding citizens felons for exercising their Second Amendment liberties.

The biggest attack I have ever seen, frankly, on the First Amendment.

Never forget we have an FBI that targeted moms and dads for showing up at school board meetings.

We think potentially a lot of additional resources. That is why we asked for the reserve fund.

We have seen the First Amendment under attack from big tech and big government.

Federal officials, no matter their rank or resources, must be prohibited to coerce the private sector to suppress certain information.

I tell people I love that verse because of the action in it. It's not a sissy, wimpy verse, it's an American verse.

Until we start putting names and holding people accountable, we are not going to get anywhere close to our goal.

We've been asleep at the wheel for a long period of time, folks. We saw this in the Obama Administration, the Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS, countless. Who's paid the penalty for it? Nobody's paid the penalty for it.

If you don't start enforcing the law, we're not going to fund certain things.

I don't think Joe Biden is going to change.

The cartels benefit, Supervisor Lines?

You pay our salary. We're supposed to fight for you.

Who benefits from this open border chaos on our southern border?

I implore to accept responsibility, to admit his policies have failed, to find a new Secretary of Homeland Security.

It would be nice to get actually paid for the great work that they do.

Everyone tells us that walls work, walls help.

If Democrats were here and saw what we're seeing, maybe we'd have a chance at ending this crisis and actually securing our southern border.
