We have got to invest in the American people. We have got to invest in this country.

The Affordable Care Act has been a godsend for working families.

I want a change of the rules here.

We need startup businesses. And I agree with you with some of these regulations that some of the smaller startups have to deal with, including getting them capital.

I just don't think it would fly today.

We acted swiftly to turn things around.

Congress has the fiscal policy tools, I believe, that we need to act.

We must get the economy moving so our hard working Americans can enjoy a rising standard of living.

We need a willing partner, not a party that seeks to disinvest in America's future and threaten our vital society and our social safety net without regard to the damaging impact of austerity on our economy and its recovery.

In Ohio alone, we have seen first responders use naloxone. In 2013, over 12,000 doses were administered. This is a huge problem. We have seen the men and women and we have seen the families that have been destroyed because of this. I hope…

I hope and pray we will never go back to that situation again.

We had to turn them away, hundreds of them.

Those 16 days were just about the darkest that I can recall ever going through.

What did the Government shutdown do to you?

I always come back both amazed and inspired.

It is so important that we remain committed to this region.

We must also be very receptive and able to respond to our allies' issues.

We must remain focused on the Asia Pacific pivot.

We must insist that these items be funded through the regular appropriations process and authorization processes.

I do want to voice my frustration at how our committee continues to be circumvented outside of the regular order.

I am disappointed that it took numerous requests on our part to provide the committee with a 1-hour briefing on the Bureau that only occurred last week, and we have yet to receive the letter.

There is a concentration somewhere in Mexico where a lot of this heroin is coming out of.

And so if we got back up to the 220, 215 area, you would be able to utilize all five centers?

There should be no reason why we can't ask the 0.01 percent of the people in the country to help us address the national security issues

We need money. And the American people are going to look to us either in the next year or the next 10 years
