If we have a socialistic government, if we have Marxism, you are going to be the first ones who will be caught off because the state would have to approve your music.

If we have Marxism, you are going to be the first ones who will be cut off. Taylor Swift would be the first victim.

I represent Tennessee and in 2020, Tennesseans really came to appreciate the resiliency of their networks.

We have heard from some of our--our Tennesseans about Congress considering this 100 by 100 standard for broadband.

I think we need to make certain we look at the cost of this and the long-range implications of this.

I want to make certain that you are going to likewise use all of those tools to make sure that the MISSION Act is fully implemented, because that will help veterans have access to care that is going to be closest to their home.

I appreciate that. And we talked about my concern over the health and well-being of veterans and the claims process, and how long it is taking VA claims to be processed fairly and in a timely manner, and the backlog that we have on those…

We want to make certain that this administration does not get on the track of trying to spend the next 4 years consolidating care back into VA facilities.
