I thank the gentleman. Mr. Rutherford, I appreciate you. I appreciate Jacksonville, Florida, and the influence it has had on this country and your influence on us and your service as a sheriff and a man of law and order and a man of conviction. I appreciate that. One thing you talked about was taking responsibility. This administration has refused to take responsibility. Although when President Biden was debating Bernie Sanders when he was running for office, he did not say anything worthwhile, I thought. He didn't say anything like give me liberty or give me death or anything like that, but he did say that he was going to raise gas prices, and he said he was going to do that and put the oil industry out of business and get people on electric cars. Well, he is halfway there. He has just about put the oil industry out because of the rising prices and the way it is controllable. He refuses to take the responsibility for that. Now we are overseas doing business, trying to do business with folks that we have not really been on friendly terms with, for good reason, their involvement in September 11 and other things. Yet, we still are back over with our hands out to the members of OPEC. That is very unfortunate. Madam Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to my good friend, Madison Cawthorn, the pride of the Carolinas. Thank you, sir.
