We are going to have to overcome that if we want to bring--again, make sure that I have the supply chain right.

I really do believe government's intervention in the marketplace...distorts the marketplace.

I would much rather rely on the private sector providing that information than government agencies, which are rather opaque.

Unfortunately, in medicine, with CMS, with Medicare, with Medicaid, with so much government intervention in that marketplace, the Medicaid formularies--which I have tried to understand, and they are impossible to understand--that is the…

I think we have to also understand the human toll of these shutdowns.

I think we need to actually take a look at the numbers.

Obviously, during COVID, we had a breakdown of government. It started with not replenishing our national stockpile after 2009.

I think we have to factor in the human toll, the cost, the economic devastation of these shutdowns, and really ask ourselves what was worse.

This is a deeply troubling assault on free speech and the FCC's status as an independent agency.

The repeated calls by elected officials for the FCC to deny a transaction based on the political viewpoints that those politicians ascribe to the purchaser crosses a line.

This crosses a clear line drawn by the First Amendment and would turn the FCC into an arm of the DNC.

Which just underscores Georgia's main problem right now is Russia.

When that is your threat, you should not be creating a domestic political crisis.

I think we undervalue sometimes what the U.S. Senate can do.

Democracy is hard. There is no election that is perfect.

To me it is pretty obvious that their main problem is the problem that has been around since the Russian invasion

The United States supports Georgia's EU and NATO ambitions and condemns Russia's continued illegal occupation of the Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

No system is perfect, but the United States and Georgia share the goal of strengthening our democracies and improving public confidence in our elections.

So we have voter oppression and intimidation, which is hard to nail down, hard to prove, hard to adjudicate.

Georgia is a valued, dependable, and strategically significant friend and partner of the United States.
