For almost 60 years, Americans have been driven by fear perpetuated by our climate theorists, authors, climate absolutes, and climate change activists, all who consider themselves experts.

Thank you, Chair and Ranking Member and our witnesses here today, for taking time to hold today's hearing to highlight the delusion of the Biden administration's at-any-cost approach on electrification of our grid.

Nothing has been more apparent with this tactic than the $18 billion taxpayer funding of a mandated industry that America's private citizens and business owners do not want to be forced down their throats.

Our answer to this, not a dollar more until we figure this out.

I am speaking today in support of H.R. 7023. This bill includes language from my legislation, the Water Quality Criteria Development and Transparency Act. As a Member of Congress, I value input from my constituents. The EPA, however, sees…

The Biden NLRB is the most activism, pro-union, government agency in history.

In no world should a scholarship athlete be considered an employee for playing basketball.

At its core college sports is about enhancing the student-athletes' academic experience, and molding our young people into productive citizens.

Instead of becoming a more perfect union that turns our schools to cities and to cesspools of the abyss of hate and intolerance.

Equity says no, you come with the right color, you come with the right ideology, and you got the job.

Again, DEI offices, they do create and perpetuate high paying job opportunities with little in the way of meaningful performance measurements...

We believe in fairness. And just recently we have a couple of my good friends, Kate Hall and Keith Grover, who will introduce legislation to ban DEI from our educational systems.

They are really good at understanding how to control the language.

Let us start teaching our kids earlier how to read, write and add. That might be a good start.

This is the most divisive concept that we have ever seen, and it is truly a cancer.

If the public schools are failing, let us get rid of them. If charter schools are failing, let us get rid of them.

Would you agree with--I will get to what the question is, what is the priority of education? The child or the institution?

It has really been very rewarding to hear how as a bipartisan process we are going to address this.

I recently joined Speaker Johnson and more than 60 colleagues to visit the southern border at Eagle Pass, Texas, one of the busiest Border Patrol entry points. What I witnessed was nothing short of an invasion, an invasion facilitated by…

Is there anything to be done to understand that there is a new way of trying to service customers?

Thank you so much for this important hearing today.

The manipulation of our children on American soil paid for by the American taxpayer is unacceptable. For the sake of our Republic and the millions of taxpaying Americans, we demand a higher standard, full transparency, and more…

I proudly rise today in support of Congresswoman Steel's DETERRENT Act. The world is on fire, and evil is spreading globally. We cannot permit American colleges and universities to be compromised. Our adversaries are determined to subvert…

Congress owes it to the nearly 3 million American passengers who travel every day to get this bill over the finish line.

While there is no shortage of crises in this body to address, few are more pressing than keeping airlines flying, passengers safe, flightcrews on time, and air traffic control towers functional.
