We need your commitment to resolve this issue.

OK. Michal, first of all, it is nice to see you again. It is kind of funny because we have always gotten along famously in spite of the fact that we disagree probably on more things than we have agreed on, but on the other hand, it has…

In April, inflation was up 8.3 percent, and the average American family is spending an extra $569 every month just to buy basic necessities.

I think it needs to be said over and over again by knowledgeable people, such as we have here today, on this overspending, overregulation, the damage that is being done.

There is no state that is more dependent upon the issues that are brought in this Committee hearing, and this is the reason I got on it in the first place.

We have to stop the spending immediately.

today, I honor a superb leader, liaison and warrior. After 2 years of service as Director of the Navy Senate Liaison Office, Chase Patrick is deservedly moving on and assuming the responsibilities of a rear admiral, lower half. I believe…

I want to make sure that is fully considered. I think your statement is a good response.

It is no surprise to you that I am going to bring up yours and my favorite subject, and that is the lesser prairie chicken.

the conservation practices have helped to nearly double the total lesser prairie chicken population size since 2013.

But aren't you precluding them from doing cleanup?

I am proud to support the legislation which makes important investments into civil works projects across Oklahoma and the Nation.

I thank you, Chairman Carper, and Ranking Member Capito, for your leadership on this Committee and for your work on the 2022 WRDA Bill.

The TVA must maintain fossil fuels as part of its power supply mix, so that the people in the region have the affordable and reliable electricity.

The calls to eliminate fossil fuels from the power sector are foolish and would be devastating for the American people.

It is past time that the President put forward nominees from these States.

So to call my personal views as hideous is an affront to half of America.

This is a smart investment because when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing, we require fuels like natural gas.

I stand by everything that I said in my State of the Union response back in 2015.

The word hideous to me only has one meaning.

Let me assure you that I have known the individual I am about to introduce more than two decades now.
