I think the way that the Administration is handling this is very effective.

We cannot expect to have robust sanctions enforcement without robust funding for the agencies in charge of enforcement.

I certainly agree with the need to have real enforcement, because I am concerned about Russia and Iran having a close relationship.

Not only would that hand a major victory to Vladimir Putin, it would embolden China's ambitions to invade Taiwan.

He has run this committee in a way that respects the importance of debate.

House Republicans have put forward proposals that only exacerbate the problem.

the fact of the matter is that housing costs are too damn high, which is pushing more and more people out of their homes.

We have proven time and time again that when we invest Federal dollars into affordable housing, we can prevent homelessness and evictions.

From urban to rural America, there simply aren't enough affordable homes.

I would like to request the ability to take a moment of personal privilege to acknowledge the announcement that our Full Committee Chair, Chairman McHenry, will be retiring at the end of this term.

I disagree with Mr. Michel. I don't know what you call a crisis, but 75,000 people on the ground in the greater Los Angeles area is a crisis.

Let me just say to the gentleman, your arguments show that you are here to support the big banks who do not want small business in the banks. They don't want to be bothered. As a matter of fact, you try to be convincing that it is not…

I would like to welcome Director Rohit Chopra back to our committee and applaud the excellent work the CFPB has done under your leadership to protect our nation's consumers.

I am also pleased that this coming Saturday, Director Chopra will join me in my district in Los Angeles for a town hall meeting with my constituents to discuss consumer protections and access to banking products and services.

I hope the chairman will reconsider his decision and convene the CEOs for a hearing as soon as possible.

gutting the only agency dedicated to protecting our nation's consumers in the financial marketplace will harm our economy and communities.

I have introduced several affordable housing bills, including my Housing Crisis Response Act, which would finally make the investments needed to build 1.4 million homes.

Democrats are certainly taking the housing and homelessness crisis very seriously, and when I was Chair, I held 55 hearings on housing.

Today, nearly 600,000 people are experiencing homelessness, and millions more are one crisis away from eviction or foreclosure.

I appreciate the effort to expand access to affordable homeownership.

I am pleased to be here with you today, but I am reminded that we are 8 days away from a government shutdown.

SVB didn't have to hold capital because a decade ago, our regulators, led by Trump, deviated from the Basel III framework.
