we cannot allow to stand what Putin is doing in Russia.

Look at what the Biden administration did when it got the reins. We had 1 percent inflation.

You do not have a job here anymore.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite Senator Tuberville to stop by, at his convenience, and maybe he could be of some help with respect to encouraging Warrior Met to join with the United Mine Workers and fashion an agreement to…

You do not have any leverage.

Not a single coal miner ever caused a bankruptcy.

If we keep plowing ahead now with $1.5 trillion deficits baseline, it will not be a good ending.

You cannot borrow from your kids and grandkids on things that you are consuming.

That is not running the place very well for all the people that depend upon it.

I think there is validity in looking at some of those issues.

How in the world is that going to take place?

I rise in opposition to Dr. Califf, and I have spoken before on this. I just want to say this for a minute or two here. I respect everyone's position on this and their decision, but I have never had anything that has affected my State and…

We need to transform those areas, whether it be Wyoming, which is a big coal producer.

We should be doing a lot more.

The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:04 a.m. in Room SD-366, Dirksen Senate Office Building.

If not, we are going to be left behind and be totally, totally, subservient to China.
