Speaker Kevin McCarthy: American Natural Gas Is Cleaner Than Russian Natural Gas
If we replaced Russian natural gas in Europe with American natural gas—for one year—we would dramatically lower global CO2 emissions. American energy gives us the power to protect our environment and make the world safer from our adversaries. Let's unleash our full potential.

Speaker McCarthy Holds a News Conference following his Meeting with the President of Taiwan
Speaker McCarthy is honored to meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen as she transits the United States.
At the Reagan library, there are countless exhibits that capture President Reagan’s patriotic spirit, belief in democracy, and commitment to the ideas of peace and freedom.
Those values have always served as the bedrock of our friendship with the people of Taiwan. And they are more important now than ever before.
Taiwan is a successful democracy, thriving economy, and global leader in health and science. And whether it's our deep commercial ties, strong people-to-people relationships, or shared values, our cooperation with the people of Taiwan continues to expand through dialogue and exchange.
The friendship between the people of Taiwan and America is a matter of profound importance to the free world and is critical to maintaining economic freedom, peace, and regional stability.
We will honor our obligations and reiterate our commitment to our shared values, behind which all Americans are united.

Kevin McCarthy: Let's Build in America!
It takes too long to build in America.
90 years ago, American workers built the Empire State Building in about 400 days.
Think we could do it that fast today?
One of the reasons we can’t is because of overregulation from government bureaucrats.
Pretty much every time we build something in this country--a road, a pipeline, a power line--it gets held up for an average of 5 years.
5 YEARS.
So bureaucrats in Washington can write 600 pages of Environmental Impact Statements and leave projects vulnerable to endless lawsuits.
It's costly, it's not based on sound science, and Democrats and Republicans can all agree it's holding us back.
Fortunately, there’s a common sense solution: permitting reform, which Republicans have included in H.R. 1 - the Lower Energy Costs Act.
And it will speed up the time it takes for us to build all kinds of things in America.

McCarthy Commits to Signing Resolution Overturning Biden's WOTUS Rule
The Senate just followed the House’s lead and rejected Biden’s “WOTUS” rule.
This would roll back some of the Biden Administration’s overreaching regulations that expand the federal government’s authority over many waterways in the U.S.
Basically, the Biden rule hurts farmers, small businesses, construction companies, and water districts, by needlessly complicating our already complex permitting process. In effect: projects get delayed and become drastically more expensive, while environmental extremists grow emboldened.
Americans are already struggling under President Biden’s anti-growth agenda. Your government should be making it easier—not harder—to produce, work, and thrive in America.
I am going to sign this resolution, and I congratulate Chairman Sam Graves, Congressman David Rouzer, and the many Republican lawmakers who worked hard to stop government overreach and restore some common sense to Washington.

Speaker McCarthy's Speech on H.R. 1: the Lower Energy Costs Act
It costs too much to heat your home and fill up your tank.
The Lower Energy Costs Act does two important things.
One – it restores American energy leadership by repealing unnecessary taxes and overregulation on American energy producers so we can lead the world in providing clean, affordable energy.
Two – it makes it easier to build things in America by requiring a two year time limit on environmental impact statements and streamlines the process for lawsuits so activists can’t use the courts to delay projects for years.

Speaker McCarthy to Biden: No More Coverups
When Democrats had the House majority, they refused to ask any tough questions about:
→ The origins of COVID
→ The 13 service members we lost in Afghanistan
→ The $1,000,000 payment from China to the Biden family
No more coverups. Republicans are getting to the truth.

Speaker McCarthy Lays Out a Legislative Agenda for 2023
House Republicans are keeping our promises! 3 months into the new Congress and so far, 35 bills have passed the House. Democrats have joined Republicans for 30 of those bills—86%. Pretty remarkable.

Speaker McCarthy Toasts to His Irish Heritage
My great-grandfather—Jeremiah McCarthy—was born in Cork County, Ireland. In 1867, he settled in California, where he worked on a ranch and the railroad. Today, one of his great-grandkids is Speaker of the House. Only in America is my story possible.

Democrats are hiding from the public because of their border crisis
Democrats in Congress are hiding from the public because of the crisis they created. 300 Americans are dying from fentanyl every single day—the equivalent of an airplane crash—and they can't even bother to show up for a hearing on border security.

Speaker McCarthy Cracks Down on Crime
The media loves to talk about how divided Washington is. It makes for good TV.
But when Republicans and Democrats come together to do something positive, you deserve to know about that too.
Rising crime has affected nearly every community in America, and in Washington, DC, things have really gotten out of control.
According to DC’s Chief of Police, the average homicide suspect in DC has been arrested 11 times prior to committing murder.
11 times!
So when the DC City Council passed a soft-on-crime law to reduce penalties and let criminals out of jail, Congress passed a resolution to overturn it.
I've signed it and sent it to the President, who has said publicly he would sign it too.
Public safety isn’t about politics.
Carjackers don’t ask your political party before they beat you up and steal your wheels.
When you visit your capital, you should feel safe.
And the law enforcement officers working day and night should know that as Speaker, I will always back the blue.

Kevin McCarthy Moves to Block Biden's Woke ESG Regulation
Do you have a 401k? Or some kind of retirement plan through work?
If so, what I'm about to tell you affects you directly.
A new regulation from the Biden Administration allows your retirement savings to be used to fund a political agenda you may not agree with.
It lets Wall Street redirect your money into something called “ESG” investments.
The goal of these funds isn’t to maximize your returns or grow your savings relative to other funds.
These are woke priorities whose primary purpose is to push far-left political activism.
But there’s good news.
Republicans AND a few free-thinking Democrats voted to block Biden’s woke ESG rule.
The House and Senate both passed it. I just signed it. And now it goes to the President’s desk.
Unfortunately, he is threatening to use his first veto against it.
I hope he changes his mind and sides with American workers over Wall Street.
If not, it will really show us where his priorities lie.

Speaker McCarthy Announces H.R. 1 - The Lower Energy Costs Act
Every piece of legislation is assigned a number when it’s first introduced.
Most of these numbers are chronological.
But as Speaker, I get to pick which bills are assigned the numbers 1 through 10 as a way to signal how important that legislation is.
I just announced H.R. 1 - our top legislative priority that has a real shot at becoming law.
It’s called the Lower Energy Costs Act, and it’s going to do two big things:
One - Restore American energy leadership.
How? By repealing onerous taxes and overregulation on American energy producers so we can lead the world in providing clean, affordable energy.
Two - Make it easier to build stuff in America.
Every time we need a pipeline, road, or dam, an average of almost 5 years and millions of dollars in costs get added to the project to comply with Washington's permitting process.
That’s too long.
We can streamline permitting and still protect the environment.
That’s a goal worthy of the number 1.
