My fine friends who are perfectionists, each in their own world where they are petty dictators, could write a perfect bill. Those of us who have grown up and matured...understand that we have to work together on the big issues.

We should end the Environmental Protection Agency's war against American oil and gas.

You can't talk about attacking or assassinating the President of the United States and you shouldn't be able to.

Our generation had been told that life had seriousness, and we came in (to politics) with purpose. We were serving history.

Now you have to ask a question - is that really, is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money? Or is that in fact somehow a little bit of a flawed system? And so I do draw distinction between looting a company, leaving behind broken families and broken neighborhoods and then leaving a factory that should be there.

We in this House are role models. People all over the world watch us and study us. When we fall short, they lose hope. When we fail, they despair.

We do agree that our country must take action to address climate change.
