My view is, you only get there by making enormous mistakes, and professionals would not make that possible.

What kind of a message would it send for the IRS not to pursue evidence of the law being violated by a high government official?

Obviously key positions with respect to fairness for taxpayers.

2 years ago, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt, which reaffirmed the longstanding view that the government should not be in the business of deciding what kind of healthcare a woman in America…

Mr. Chairman, I think both of us went about a minute or so over. Could Senator Menendez just have that too?

the government is ransoming these children by telling their parents they can have their kids back if they agree to leave the country.

The American people have been getting lots of deception, lots of rosy answers, not many facts.

the American people are owed an answer about what's going to be done to protect the thousands of children the Trump administration separated from their mothers and fathers.

So it is not correct.

Mr. Secretary, you are a smart fellow and good at this, but that is not what you said.

I mean, no matter whether we are talking about 2,053 or 2,047, it is going to take you months and months and months to bring these kids back to their parents and back to safety.

Well, Mr. Secretary, I just want to wrap up with one other very disturbing aspect of the hearing.

Then let us make sure we understand what these conversations are all about. You do not see them as negotiating about anything.

I do not think you are going to fix the problem of skyrocketing prescription drug bills if your former industry colleagues get off the hook by your signaling at a hearing like this that you hope that something might happen.

I would like to hold the record open so you can tell me specifically as of today how many parents were told where their kids are.

My time is up. You did not answer the question. I asked about Part D changes.

the president tweeted that the U.S. should forget about due process rights for immigrants, essentially an endorsement of judging people by the color of their skin.

I have your exact quote here--you said this morning you hope that the big drug companies will exercise pricing restraint.

I am going to get to rescuing Americans who are getting mugged by their prescription drug bills.

There's a lot to cover this morning. I'll get to rescuing Americans who are getting mugged by their prescription drug bills, as well as the administration gutting safeguards for those with preexisting conditions.

President Trump and I have committed to the American people that we will work to lower the list prices of prescription drugs.

I look forward to working with you in a bipartisan way.

After a year and a half in office, I do not see any evidence of this administration taking real action until possibly January 1, 2020, a thousand days after the President said drug companies were getting away with murder.

I begin by thanking Senator Merkley. Senator Merkley, in my view, delivered a wake-up call to the country several weeks ago when he went to the border, and I have been very pleased to be able to join him in this effort. A few days ago, we…

It is, in my view, inexcusable that our democracy depends on such hackable voting technology made by a handful of companies that have been able to evade oversight.
