I think the ratings on C-SPAN 3 will go through the roof to the moon.

Perhaps the worst slogan I have heard in politics is, 'defund the police.' The SEC is the police department of our $100-trillion capital markets.

The fact is that we do need guidance to be published from the SEC.

It has taken them over a decade to come up with a rule defining who would be subject to some future rule.

When the Taliban treats 12-year-old girls like sex slaves, when they kill members of the LGBT community, they are not in violation of this agreement.

The politicians promised the American people we would pull out--not because our casualties were particularly large, but because they were on top of 20 years of war.

This agreement, this DOHA agreement, is the worst agreement I could imagine.

Is there anything in the agreement where the Taliban commit themselves to allowing 13-year-old girls to go to school?

We were defeated militarily in achieving our full goals in Afghanistan not by the Taliban, but by the phrase 'Forever War.'

You need to be there. And I will finally point out that there are only thousands of transactions every day in Bitcoin, tens of thousands.

As the chief Democrat on our Capital Markets Subcommittee, I have to comment on what a government shutdown would mean.

I would join with the chairman on a concern for civil liberties because we may be seeing Trump 2.0 in the White House.

Having spent 28 years on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and 28 years on this committee, I want to commend our witnesses and the agencies they represent, since our ability to impose sanctions and economic penalties is such a critical…

A thoughtful outbound investment regime is necessary to building on the work of CFIUS and making sure that U.S. investment is used to uplift communities around the world rather than strengthening our strategic adversaries and empowering…

I join with colleagues on both sides in commending the Biden Administration executive order on outbound investment.

Not every risk that our economy faces is because of SIFIs involved. Our giant Federal deficit is perhaps the biggest threat to our economy.

There is tremendous political power pushing us toward accepting crypto, minimizing the effect of the U.S. dollar as an international medium of exchange.

I have seen the crypto folks say, 'Crypto will shape the world!' And now, they are here to say, 'We are just a little feather floating down, and FSOC shouldn't pay any attention to us.'

Then, you have a lot of work to do.

I think there is support for your work in NOCLAR, but a lot of investors are at risk when companies flagrantly violate the laws that govern them.

What do your examiners do? Do they value it as a fully secured loan or a completely unsecured loan if it is secured by Bitcoin or Hamster coin, or do you just not know?

Let's talk about this every week. I look forward to your call next week, and every week until we solve this problem.
