Part of the problem is, what could they really do about it.

I just do not want Congress picking and choosing going, no, this is the business that we are going to rule out investment by x, y, and z company.

Freedom can only thrive in an open society with a government that is honest and transparent with its citizens.

It seems like our Federal Government is probably doing more covering up for the Saudis than the Saudis are doing for themselves.

I always feel a great deal of sympathy for the people that are being ruled by authoritarian regimes.

We all find their human rights abuses abhorrent.

I always go to Louis Brandeis, who probably about a century ago said that the solution for mis and disinformation is not censorship, but more free speech.

The solution here is more speech, not censorship, not enforced silence.

I find the Saudi Arabian human rights abuses abhorrent, as I think we all do.

What can we do about this? Do we pass a law, do we stop buying Saudi oil?

If the DOJ and FBI continue to withhold these relevant documents, I hope this Subcommittee will use every authority we have to compel compliance through our legitimate congressional oversight.

Right. Completely agree, and I look forward to working with you on that.

I am highly concerned if Congress all of a sudden inserts itself into a process of saying, we are going to identify a U.S. business that we are going to say it so iconic that no foreign government or, we are going to say who can and cannot…

The greatest threat we face being $33 trillion in debt is to have the U.S. dollar no longer the world's reserve currency.

Our government is not being honest. They are not being transparent.

transparency starts with within our own government, to become transparency to cough up what they know.

I think the overall solution here is a free press that holds everybody accountable.
