You know, on his first day in office, President Biden revoked the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.

Our nation's energy production benefits every American, as we discussed yesterday.

American energy production provides good jobs, funding for the schools and public services, all of these things.

U.S. energy independence, I believe, is critically important for our national security.

As part of your effort to promote U.S. industries in international markets, will you commit to advocate for eliminating trade barriers for soda ash and other important U.S. industries in the international marketplace?

The United States' liquefied natural gas and other energy exports limit the ability of countries like Russia to wield energy supplies as geopolitical weapons.

Do you believe it is important for States to accurately report public health data--especially deaths--from coronavirus?

So, given this glaring evidence that is presented by the New York Attorney General, as Secretary will you advocate that the Biden administration fully investigate what occurred in this situation?

The Biden administration's decisions are clearly going to have a terrible impact, I believe, on the health and well-being of communities in Wyoming and across rural America.

The impact of that on jobs in my State is just devastating.

From a public health perspective, I think it is important for States and local governments to accurately report information regarding the impact of coronavirus.

Well, we have heard similar types of rhetoric that we have heard from this Administration and from John Kerry back in 2009 under the Obama Administration.

Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman.

Your preference is to turn to drugs--is what you have recommended to the voters.

Delays in leasing have already negatively impacted small to mid-sized operators.

I want to make sure you care about the law.

A long-term leasing ban is also going to cost--and I can kind of go around the table here of members on this Committee--Louisiana, 48,000 jobs; Colorado, 18,000 jobs; Mississippi, 14,000 jobs; North Dakota, 13,000 jobs; Utah, 11,000 jobs…

I continue to believe it is a misguided decision by the President.

President Biden has justified his ban on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters--he cited climate change.

I am troubled by many of Representative Haaland's views, views that many in my home State of Wyoming would consider as radical.

It does seem that with every campaign promise that he delivers, President Biden is also delivering pink slips to hardworking men and women in Wyoming and across the country.

He has threatened tens of thousands of jobs in my home State of Wyoming and across the country when he halted oil, gas, and coal leasing on Federal lands.

The Waters of the U.S. was really a real burden.

I would remind you, and I think I did on the phone call, that one of my objections to Ms. McCarthy is the fact that she wouldn't, at our invitation and many invitations, come to the home States of those Senators where had the most deep…

He ceded American environmental and economic independence to the European Union and China when he rejoined the Paris Climate Accord.
