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.

No, I'm just following your logic. You said, if it runs out, that will help the employment situation.

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

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

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

I've never seen that. I've been in politics 26 years. I've never seen Governors turn down Federal money.

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.

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…

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

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

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

The biggest problem is a lack of workers, and we need to demonstrate in Congress, we need to show leadership that we are back to normal.

That is exactly what the Democrats are doing. They don't want to talk about the crisis at the border.

They don't want to talk about inflation, the increased price of gas.

Others promoted, actually, and encouraged it.

Wow, lot of pressure there. Wants him to look into something.

They are going to raise taxes, they are going to ban firearms, and they are getting ready to hire more agents at the IRS to harass American citizens.

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.

The fact that we have yet to have a hearing on a situation on our Southern border...

The left, along with the allies of the liberal media, pushed a false narrative that these were somehow peaceful protests.

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

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.

Because when you pay people not to work, you shouldn't be surprised when you don't have workers.

It is a republic, if you can keep it.
