00:00The gentleman's recognized.

00:02I thank the gentleman. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

00:05Quite frankly, I can't even believe that our friends across the aisle are complaining.

00:10I guess that seems to be their habit, their modus operandus these days.

00:14Madam Speaker, House Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to undo the damaged President Biden's radical agenda.

00:22Maybe that's why they're complaining, come to think about it.

00:25What his agenda inflicted on our economy, our freedoms, and the American way of life.

00:32It's just that simple.

00:34This week, we are moving to overturn yet one more, another reckless regulation, this time targeting the very backbone of our supply chain, American truckers.

00:48Under Biden, I call him old Biden because I think he's Obama's third term, we had a shortage of truckers.

00:55Madam Speaker, this was Washington bureaucrats trying to do California's dirty work.

01:02I mean, don't our bureaucrats here have enough work to do on their own?

01:24Let's be free.

01:25Let's be real.

01:27This isn't about cleaner air.

01:29Never was, never going to be.

01:31It's about control.

01:33It's about forcing a one-size-fits-all green agenda on the rest of the country.

01:42I might as well, I might say the unsuspecting country, regardless of what it costs working families, what it costs farmers, job creators, and yes, truckers.
