I agree with Markwayne Mullin. Y'all talk about how this thing, you're not trying to politicize it, but you're doing exactly that...

The more we question it, while underneath the disguise of trying to say we are trying to keep the American people safe, the more we could actually cost people's lives.

I had a constituent tell me a couple of weeks ago that says, you know, you can tell when a natural disaster or a national disaster is serious is when Republicans and Democrats are both on the same page; but when we start politicizing it…

Don't forget the Obama administration had control of the EPA for eight years, and they still haven't addressed all of these issues.

I find it odd that we are holding a committee hearing, and yet a lot of people on this committee haven't even done their research.

I would rather work with DEQ any day of the week than work with the EPA at all.

Yet there is many on this committee that have been on this committee for a decade or decades.

IHS must also modernize its IT system and bring it into the 21st Century.

Natives deserve quality, reliable healthcare services as promised by the federal government.

IHS is not only terribly underfunded, but it's also the only federal healthcare agency who doesn't receive mandatory or advanced appropriations.

Native Americans are disproportionately left out on these studies, on things moving forward.

I am Cherokee, Native American, and it is very disappointing to me that we don't have a tribal witness here today.

When we start talking about Opportunity Zones, we need to pay attention to that.

For a lot of young people, the only opportunity for them to have a really good-paying job is to move.

We are in a pandemic. Let's figure out a way to move the ball forward.

I mean, if we are really going to have a hearing that is going to be able to move the ball forward and try to advance opportunities for all of our constituents, then we drag in politics like our colleague from Florida just did, it is…

You are just in the refrigerant space, right?

Is there a concern at the EPA that 410A is hurting the environment?

Is it illegal right now for the refrigerant to be released into the air?

the consumer, I think, is the one that is being left out of this conversation.

But we talk a lot about all the industry supporting it, but once again we leave out the consumer.

It says any practice. And my whole point that I am getting to is this is much more broader language.

The cost to install these new units is a real cost. And we need to make sure that the consumer is, one, aware of what their choices are, and, two, understand what the cost is to them.

I am trying to figure out why we are making the change to go to the 410A.

The consumer will be paying that bill, not the manufacturers or the installers.
