What I find this bill does that I think was different than previous discussions is that it doesn't expand government, which I'm really concerned about, it focuses government.

Kim Jong Un, who said the thing that's going to keep me in charge are nuclear weapons and cybersecurity, offensive cybersecurity.

Every major adversary--China, Russia, North Korea, Iran--are ramping up the use of cyber because they know it has low consequence and high impact.

If American people stop trusting their institutions to the point where it's not governable, guess what? Bad guys win.

Imagine if you take the quarterback and not let that quarterback train with the football team all year until the first game you put him out on the field. We're going to have problems.

I think that there have been some studies done that a lot of Black entrepreneurs don't get loans...

I think it would put us in a better position. I would hate to say 'finally.'

Congratulations on truly life's greatest experience of becoming a father, and it is the best job in the world.

We must keep in mind the Trump administration's success in protecting our last mid-term elections from disruptive cyber incidents.

But ultimately we need tax policy and regulatory policy that really encourages and augments and doesn't create barriers to accessing that capital.

I think what that strategy was meant to do in 2018 for sure was bring us to a better place about coordination and understanding that our adversaries are using all the nation-state power they can bring to bear.

Unfortunately, that bill was, at best, a stopgap measure.

It is something that I think we absolutely have to pay attention to.

I look forward to working with each of you to ensure that we strengthen America's cybersecurity against all types of threats.

If the Majority requested and shared human tissue samples of a deceased child just to advance political narrative, it would mark an appalling new low for this committee.

If everybody in this bureaucracy gets to say no and everybody gets to sign off, we lose.

If we don't have something that doesn't expand Government but focuses our cybersecurity efforts, we are going to be in for a long run.

Security is, I think, a very important discussion Congress is going to have to weigh in on.
