I mean, it sort of surprised me. I guess when you pay people not to work, you shouldn't be surprised when you don't have workers.

My understanding is the state unemployment plus the Federal enhancement is $37,000 a year. Might that discourage people from going back to work?

The idea they're going to raise taxes on hardworking Americans makes absolutely no sense.

Every single employer... tell me they can't find people to work.

Larry Summers, top economic advisor to both President Clinton and President Obama, has been warning since February that President Biden's agenda is inflationary.

The Biden inflation agenda of too much money chasing too few goods is causing major harm to hardworking families.

We surely ought to be addressing the origins of COVID-19.

We shouldn't be seeing all this inflation that is brought on by President Biden's policies and his overreaction to something where the science--in fact, one of the things we've seen is a whole lot of political science being practiced…

It seems to me, Chairman--and, again, I know you don't talk--you're not going to comment on policies--but I don't know that Democrats are doing anything right.

Seems like both have got--both got some problems today.

I don't necessarily--I'm not necessarily blaming you. I'm blaming the Democrat policies.

These Biden inflationary policies have put you in a tough spot.

We are going to find out. I promise you.

Were there communications between my colleagues and the Democratic party and their friend, the mayor of DC, to have that change of heart, the day before January 6?

You would to have to have been living under a rock in America to not know that there was potential for violence, riot, and mob behavior on January 6.

My colleagues across the aisle are going to find themselves in a bind this year, because we are going to investigate.

It is almost like the FBI wanted to look the other way so that the insurrection could proceed in its effort to stop the certification of the Presidential election.

It is crystal clear that the FBI was more concerned about Black Lives Matter protesters in Washington, DC, than it was about armed conflict by violent and armed Proud Boys and Oath Keepers descending on the United States Capitol.

It is crystal clear to me that the FBI knew or certainly had reason to know that there was going to be violence at the Capitol on January 6.

The domestic enemies that we saw on January 6 ought to be the sort of things that we focus on.

It is a republic, if you can keep it.

I can only tell you that doubling those efforts is appreciated. And if you want to triple them, that would be appreciated because that is too much hate in this country.

I want to thank Director Wray, and I want to thank also all the men and women of the FBI, famous and faceless, that we don't know all across the country that are doing their job at this hour.

We can't look into those issues. We are going to do another investigation about pressuring people by sending emails to the Justice Department.

This is ridiculous. What the Democrats pretend to be the work of Congress now is ridiculous.
