We were exporting a lot, too, weren't we?

Exactly. Cap-and-trade didn't pass.

Yes, the sanctions against them were waived.

It has increased dramatically, hasn't it? Over a dollar a gallon.

You know what has happened to the price of gasoline since that day?

It is misinformation meant to scare the public and ignore realities, realities like the truth that the United States has been reducing carbon emissions while China's emissions have been going through the roof.

I want to thank Chairwoman Maloney for giving this committee yet another opportunity, another platform to highlight the horrible, miserable, failed policies of the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party as a whole.

Democrats have become masters of accusing others of the very thing they themselves are guilty of, and in this case, misinformation.

What does the gentleman want, $8 gasoline, $10 gasoline for the very families that we all represent? This is craziness what they are talking about.

I will tell you what is frustrating is a Member of Congress telling American oil and gas companies to reduce production at the same time the President United States is begging OPEC to increase production.

The Biden Administration, as it has done on all the crises it has had over the last nine months, has no plan to confront these mounting problems.

It is truly sad that the American people are being abandoned by their leaders at such a critical moment.

This hearing is simply a distraction from the crises that the Biden Administration's policies have caused for the American people.

The purpose of this hearing is clear: to deliver partisan theater for prime-time news.

Democrats didn't invite the person who was secretly recording to the hearing today because they are more interested in a spectacle.

Instead of convening hearings on any of these topics and holding the Biden Administration accountable for its actions...

Inflation caused by the Biden Administration's economic policies is sitting at 5.4 percent, gas prices are at a seven-year high...

When are we going to hold a hearing with a Biden Administration Cabinet member so we can hold the Federal Government accountable?

Significantly lower. Is that right?

There's only one committee, only one select committee that's supposed to look into the coronavirus issue, and it seems to me the first question we'd be most focused on is: How did this thing start?

We had a guy who got American taxpayer money to do research in China on bat coronaviruses.

I fail to see why we wouldn't want Mr. Daszak to come in front of this committee.

It's crushing American families that are trying to feed their kids and pay their bills.

Inflation is probably the largest tax increase on middle-and lower-income families.

I'd like Mr. Daszak here, and why the majority party won't do it I'll never know.
