I represent a majority rural district, a lot of agriculture and a lot of livestock and ranching.

Mr. Biden's so-called American Families Plan would have done even more damage to the American farmers and ranchers.

Today Democrats are attacking the farmers and ranchers calling them the great polluters of the world.

They are literally the backbone of the country. That's where everything begins and everything ends.

It's a dangerous game when D.C. politicians think they know better than the folks that are actually putting their hands in the dirt.

the Mexican drug cartels... are controlling our Southern border, not our Federal Government.

a porous border is a dangerous border, and it is an immoral border.

And we're here harassing the NFL, and I might add, engaging in a partisan bizarre witch hunt of an NFL team and trespassing without just cause into the internal affairs of a privately held entity when we face these other crises on multiple…

We have a southern border wide open, more porous than in 250 years, and the drug cartels are making record profits.

this unchecked narcotics trafficking has fueled an opioid crisis, which is directly responsible for the deaths of 100,000 Americans.

this hearing is a sham, and it's a farce, and it's a clown show. And it's a terrible waste of your time as a CEO of a multibillion dollar privately held enterprise.

we're here suffering inflation at a 41-year high, 8.6 percent; gasoline at $5 a gallon, highest it's ever been in our history.

Support legal migration by deporting criminals and building walls and other barriers with gates.

The Mexican drug cartels are making wild profits, record profits, in fact.

It shouldn't be a partisan issue. It is. I don't know why.

The border crisis catastrophe and cataclysmic events that are going on are responsible for 100,000 of our citizens' deaths.

The answer is not to sit there and obfuscate and ignore and be an ostrich and put your head in the sand.

We are talking about a border catastrophe, and if these trends continue it is going to be cataclysmic.

If--as Americans, if we are not safe, then we are not free, and what we need to be doing is ensuring that we use Title 42 as a tool to secure the border.

There is nothing more wonderful than an educated American, and their pigmentation is as irrelevant as it is immaterial.

I would be firmly in favor of increasing penalties for this because it is something that just takes so much time away from what we are trying to do here, which is educate young people.

Well, I think those parents wouldn't be so angry if President Biden paid them an apology for the things he said about them.

So we are going to continue to push for medical science, not political science, and let's free up our children from this experiment that has destroyed millions of lives over these last two years.

Madam Chair, thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

There has got to be a balance between the needs of our warfighters and the needs of our taxpayers.
