The States Reform Act puts power back where it should be at the state level.

Our Nation looks so divided on the outside, but today this is an example where we can work together.

This is a great day in America, and it's a true honor to be here.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I have a few questions that I would like to get through.

Mr. Chairman, I would like to request unanimous consent to enter this article that appeared in the Journal of American Medicine that talked about the rate and reduction of opioid overdoses, mortality, and addiction with cannabis into the…

Prohibition of cannabis was created out of racism.

Zero overdose deaths related to cannabis.

There is absolutely no justification for anybody up here today in Congress to compare cannabis to slavery.

Finding common ground on this issue should not be difficult.

I will not vote for impeachment of any president if I feel that due process has been stripped away for anyone.

I'm going to support whomever Republicans nominate in '24.

I believe there's a lot of pressure on Republicans to have that vote, to put that legislation forward, and to have that vote.

We need to be working together. And I have been very open, I am a conservative who works with Democrats.

I love the Constitution just as much as our chairman.

So how does the left silence opposing views on climate and energy policies that they do disagree with?

Thank you. An Axios article detailing how Gina McCarthy called on Big Tech to crack down on climate change misinformation; an article from The Washington Post detailing how then White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki called for Spotify to…

I want to make myself clear: the low country depends on the preservation of our region's environment, both for our prosperity and our region's wellbeing.
