I certainly support the right of people to do what they want with their money.

I believe that Americans should have the right to do with their money what they will, but...

I can go to the window behind me and peel out $10 bills and throw them out the window.

When you look at the literature, retail investors lose because of a whole series of human biases.

we convert from the system of one person, one vote, instead into a system of one dollar, one vote.

I also believe that when thousands of Americans are dying every week still, it is far better to risk doing too much than to risk doing too little.

I remember, 11 years ago, we were promised by some that Dodd-Frank was going to crush the American capital markets.

I am so glad that we now have President Biden providing leadership from the White House and a real plan to tackle this crisis once and for all.

Let me echo our thanks for your incredible intervention and work in addressing the economic aspects of this pandemic.

I am certainly influenced by what I saw 10 years ago, when our fiscal response to another financial crisis was, in my opinion, deeply inadequate.

Clearly, we are not out of the woods, and if 2008 and 2020 have taught us anything, it is that crises happen and we need to prepare for them.

I remember the early 1980s, late 1970s, when inflation destroyed the savings of the middle class and reduced confidence in the economy.

It is long overdue for the Federal Reserve to reconsider its normal operating procedures and use its authorities to tackle the racial wealth and employment gaps.

After the gross, if not criminal mismanagement of the crisis by the Trump Administration, Americans have shown that they want competent leadership and decisive action to crush this virus and put the economy on the road to recovery.

Again, you offered up the $35 billion number, which as you and anybody else schooled in finance knows is meaningless unless you convert it into a rate of return.

I need to know what that is in terms of return.

I'm pretty convinced that Citadel is one of the winners; they make a lot of money.

My concern, like those of my colleagues, is that forging ahead with new regulations at this point would be harmful and have unforeseen consequences.

the retail investor is known as, 'dumb money,' and there are any number of structures that are set up to take advantage of the retail investor.

If we'd had a, you know, 15 percent of that presence on January 6th, what happened would never have happened.

the sooner we can get back to making it open and accessible is I think, going to make a lot of us very happy.

a lot of Republicans are going to hide behind the fact that the House acted very quickly.

the Republicans have created this Frankenstein monster.

the senators are jurors, each and every one of those Republican senators is contemplating the fact that it's a minority of their constituents, but a minority of their constituents are probably okay with what happened in the Capitol.

We need to make sure that people are held accountable. We need to make sure that the American people know exactly what happened and how the President -- well, ex- President contributed to that.
