Halls so I can get a chance to tell you about what's going on in ████ what I'm working on try to answer the questions that you have. I think that people are really concerned. They're concerned about the cost of living. Things are just really expensive right now. In so many different areas. People are concerned about the war in ████. They're concerned about immigration. They're concerned especially on ███████████ part of my desk I have all the ███████████████████████ out to ██████████ but also in █████████████ and into Northeast ██████. A concern about drinking water. It's a very big problem. And everybody is upset about the fact that nobody in █████████████ seems to be working with each other but he's fighting with each other all the time. It's very frustrating to me and I'm sure it's very frustrating to you. And I want to tell you about some of the things. This cost of living issues is a very big issue. And you think about what are the reasons. That everything so expensive right now? And I've identified five things that our current policies that are really making it more expensive for everyone. Number one are the tariffs. Tariffs are just making everything more expensive. Your groceries are more expensive. For businesses. They're building materials are more expensive. Just tariffs are causing prices to go up for your clothes. When you go to a restaurant. Just everything's more expensive because of the tariffs. A guy named █████████████ who is the ██ trade representative testifying today before the ways and means committee.

Energy prices are going up, not just your gas prices which are going through the roof because of the war in ████ and the whole thing with the Straits of Hormuz. But also a utility prices have been going up for the past year and a half. Why? Because this is a big increase in demand for energy after ██ years of energy remaining either flat or going down because of energy efficient appliances or because of renewable energy. Demand has been going down. But now we reduce the supply. Because the President doesn't like green energy. He doesn't like wind and he's cut a lot of projects. We have to do all of the above. We have to do solar. We have to do wind. We have to do nuclear. We have to do natural gas. We've got to do everything to provide more supply of energy because these data centers are causing an increase in the demand strategy. If you have an increased demand and reduce supply that causes your prices to go up. Health care costs are going through the roof. Because they got rid of these things called the premium tax credits. They're cutting the Medicaid. There's less people in
