Oversight of the Executive Branch is a vital check on the President's power, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office.

I will not hesitate to use my authority as chairman to hold regulators accountable.

Will your office commit to investigating the SEC's role and involvement with FTX?

Democrats put the American people above Republican politics.

The perfect the enemy of the good is the adverse impact it is likely to have and produce during a future pandemic

We need to have a democratized approach to this to benefit more people.

Chair Gensler is too busy trying to change the SEC into the, 'Securities and Environment Commission,' rather than its capital formation and investor protection role.

I think it is time for us to reevaluate the definition of an accredited investor and ensure that it serves its intended purpose of protecting investors rather than excluding them.

And, frankly, it simply sounds like you would rather ban private markets than anything else.

I might add, Professor, that if Chair Gensler has his way, it is going to be even more expensive for retail investors to invest.

U.S. companies often face a considerable disadvantage to their Chinese counterparts.

I look forward to working with all of my colleagues on this subcommittee to achieve our shared objectives, making sure we protect the investors, have fair and orderly markets, and create market opportunity and capital formation.

Republicans on this committee have warned our Democrat colleagues time and time again that there would come a day when they couldn't protect this Administration any longer.

Under Chair Gensler, the SEC has experienced several operational problems that have eroded public trust in the Commission.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's pending climate disclosure rule is a primary example of overly-burdensome regulations done by administrative overreach.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for American small businesses, Democrats have been unable to legislate their climate and social policies.

Sadly, today's hearing isn't about investor protection, entrepreneurship, or capital markets. It is about the Majority's latest attempt to legitimize the last 4 years of failed policy.

I will note to the Chair that, yes, the Chair of the SEC was in front of this Full Committee in October.

I am concerned about a couple of things, unprecedented attempts by the SEC to slip drastic market changing interpretations of securities laws into otherwise routine enforcement cases.

So, yes, we can blame the Biden Administration for some of this inflation.

If you are trying to be apolitical, that and allowing those words to stand with this mess that has been created in the economy doesn't stand.

Meanwhile, this President is flying to Saudi Arabia, and won't go to Alberta.

We have been on this journey for nearly 10 years, going back to the 113th Congress. While many of the Members who served with me back then no longer remain, the challenges small businesses face have not dimmed. Madam Speaker, I recognize…

The SEC's own analysis will cost billions of dollars to comply, with most of that cost being passed down to hardworking Americans.

Our capital markets are under attack.
