I get it, there’s a lot of people in this room that don’t support what DOGE is doing.

I get it, there's a lot of people in this room that don't support what DOGE is doing. But for the first time, we are making some progress identifying places that we can reduce the budget.

Elon Musk gets $40 billion a year in funding from the federal government. What makes you think he has no conflict of interest?

How can you be against a balanced budget?

Ultimately, where we need to go is to a balanced budget

I support Ukraine. I do not feel Ukraine should give up any land to Russia, and I believe in a strong NATO.

Unfortunately, sir, you're wrong.

President Trump has successfully pushed NATO members to increase their defense spending.

It's critical that there be enduring peace, and that Russia doesn't revisit its empire-building fantasy.

Any deal should roll back the land grab to make it clear that the resources and human life lost in the war did not help Russia reach its goal.

The desire to end the war is categorically good, but this effort can't lose sight of the reality that Putin's army has slaughtered tens of thousands since the conflict began.

The Treasury Secretary told me, to my face, that Mr. Musk absolutely does not have full access to the federal payment system.

Here we are yet again dealing with Chair Gensler's, 'fountain of bad ideas.'

This rule is about pursuing climate goals, not well-tailored disclosures, period.

I completely resist that. I think there has to be a State pathway so that we protect our dual-tier banking system.

I think it is outstanding that you highlight that as the appropriate role for the government.

I was very pleased to hear you say that government should not be the catalyst for these innovations, but it should lead the way in quality of life.

I always tell people in Nebraska that we raise the gold that the rest of America wants to hire as a CEO.

Today, too many young people are taught not to take a risk.

We are here today because towns like Little Rock, Arkansas, should get every single opportunity to partake in the innovation economy.

The second bill I want to bring to your attention is called the VALID Act. It, too, is bipartisan and bicameral, and it focuses on housing affordability specifically for our nation's veterans.

Representative Flood and I introduced the bipartisan, bicameral, Yes In My Backyard Act (YIMBY Act), which has been referred to your committee.

I have more than 3,000 student loan servicer employees in my district. When the FSA decides to cut rates, they are jeopardizing jobs in my district.
