Dodd-Frank was very helpful, especially when it had a real stress test, which was this pandemic.

I definitely believe in the king, that king. But anyway, I never want to be embarrassed of loving Jesus.

As American families are emerging from struggles of the pandemic, now is not the time to weaken consumer protection.

Consumer protection should not be a partisan issue.

This radical reading of the Constitution could also threaten Medicare, Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, unemployment benefits, child nutrition assistance, and so much more.

Many in the Republican party have fought against the CFPB since its inception, repeatedly seeking ways to delegitimize, defund, or, most recently, to abolish the agency entirely.

The reality is that it is real climate change, and it is costing billions and billions of dollars.

It is ridiculous not to take a look at these ESG factors. We have to, and, again, I am glad that you are taking a look at it, because it is real.

When I first got here, I heard from my friends on the other side that the boogeyman was the Dodd-Frank Act.

It is not because of the pandemic, of course, or because Europe is at war. That wouldn't cause it, of course. It would have to be President Biden's policies. That is ridiculous, and I think the voters saw through it last time.

No, the reality is that it is real climate change, and it is costing billions and billions of dollars.

Dodd-Frank was going to be the end of banking... they said it was helpful.

Every time I hear inflation is caused by President Biden, I wonder, why is it all over the world?

I think it is important to get that definition out, where the protections lie and where the protections don't.

I appreciate all of the kindnesses you have shown me and others through the years, and it is great to see you there. Congratulations.

I think it is very appropriate that we look at how we can fight back.

I was also very pleased to hear from some of my colleagues that they believe in the preeminence of the U.S. dollar.

We do want to go after our adversaries, our competitors, and that is the Chinese Communist Party.

We are really here to talk about the Chinese Communist Party, not the Chinese people.

This President gets criticized because he shot it down. The other President didn't even see the damn things.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I would like to thank Chairman McHenry and Ranking Member Waters for convening this hearing...

ESG disclosures are market-driven initiatives to increase investor education and corporate transparency.

I agree that we have to do something about inflation, but at the same time, it is the pandemic that has caused all of this and now, of course, the war in Ukraine.

The reality is, inflation right now affects the whole world, especially advanced economies.

I am glad that the SEC has proposed an ESG rule that clarifies reporting standards.
