“A political activist died. That was bad. I liked him. He agreed with me. I want people to be quiet and think about it.”

“I want this bill to pass. I say there is much anti-Semitism at universities. I say those universities get taxpayer money. I say that is bad. I say Congress should stop giving them money. I say we should have standards for universities. I am proud of our work. I want my party to vote yes.”

“I want this bill to pass. The government should make it easier for American businesses to mine and process minerals. Endless government tape does not protect the environment. It only helps China. This bill does not weaken environmental standards. It removes unnecessary government paperwork. American miners are treated well. No other country mines cleaner than we do. We should be proud of that and do more mining. We need a government that gets out of the way.”

“I am sad. A family died in a flood. Their daughter is still alive. I want to honor them. I want to send my condolences. That is very sad. We should remember them.”

“I want to praise my staff member who is leaving. He worked here for a long time. He did a good job. People like him. We will miss him.”
