The California congressman firmly believes the U.S. is the 'greatest country in the world,' saying 'we should be proud of what makes us exceptional.'
. Our agenda will be figuring out how we increase production in this country. We're doing that with passing the COMPETES Act, bringing semiconductors back. We can start bringing other production back to America, and that will help lower prices.

I mean, it would be just as silly if I blamed Trump for the inflation as it would be to blame Biden spending for the inflation.We're going to make America produce again.

My view is that we want to have a strong First Amendment tradition—a strong tradition of engaging with all types of ideas.
It's the greatest country in the world. It's an objective fact. Why do millions of people want to come here? What other country in the world is there that millions of people want to immigrate to? They don't want to go to China. There's no stampede to go there. They certainly don't want to go to [President Vladimir] Putin's Russia. They're not all dying to go to France.
