Mark Warner

I just want to compliment you, Secretary Buttigieg. You met with frontline workers from WMATA.

COVID obviously exacerbated this--the wealth gap in this country, the wealth gap between Black families, White families, 10:1 differential.

We are working on a program... that would help all first-generation homebuyers.

I do think there are a number of our community banks who want to try to do more in this space.

I want to call out my friend Mike Crapo, who was the lead Republican on that.

One of the things that I have worked with the chairman and others on is making sure that we encourage States to go ahead and expand Medicaid.

I think we all know that obviously COVID exposed some of the racial disparities we see in health-care coverage.

We need to hold some people accountable, but in the interim, we also need to make sure there was at least a -- you know, when the fire is burning, you got to report it to the firemen, and you’ve got to then pulse the whole network to make…

We can do a better job on our cybersecurity. And we ought to commit ourselves in this United States. We can do it better.

We have offensive capability capabilities as well.

The Trade Advisory Committee system and the expertise its members bring are an important component of creating good trade policy.

A great short answer. You got me done even within my 5-minute time period.

I just hope, Ambassador Tai, that you can say that, around digital trade efforts, we ought to try to work to be more in concert with allies like Australia.

Taiwan creates 63 percent of all the chips made in the world. That is a supply chain vulnerability.

I think the humanitarian crisis in India requires extraordinary actions.

I spent a whole career in venture capital and valuing American intellectual property. I think it is a very close call, what the administration has done.

I think that taking a once-in-a-century action on a once-in-a-century pandemic is not an indication of some retreat of protecting intellectual property rights in this country.

Next week, Senator Cornyn and I and a number of others will be introducing a bipartisan amendment to the Endless Frontier Act to commit $50 billion to both advance where America is ahead on semiconductors.

I appreciate that 200,000 have been sent out, but 2 million are eligible.

I want to build upon what my friend, John Thune, was just talking about on how we make sure, Ms. Kim, that we get these offices reopened.

I think it is time the SEC catches up with the reality of the marketplace today.

I have to tell you I very much disagree with Mr. Ramaswamy's notion.

The idea that the only standard you need to hold a CEO accountable toward is short-term, quarter-by-quarter profitability is frankly not the right metric.

That is why I think, again, my Republican colleagues, this is an area where I think there was agreement that we need a faster regulatory review and approval process.

Well, as we get into that, one of the things that we need to guarantee is that there is going to be that domestic demand.
