For too long, Big Tech platforms have acted like publishers instead of platforms for free speech and open dialogue.

I want to ensure that steps we take do not deny the resources from the hospitals that need them.

We need simplification of these things.

Free speech is the cornerstone of democracy.

Part of it is that profit is a big motive in terms of companies.

I think it's wrong to have a broad neutral rule here that all algorithms are neutral and mechanical.

The claim that censorship is speech is as nonsensical as saying war is peace or freedom is slavery.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses and working with our colleagues to reform Section 230 so we can hold Big Tech accountable and preserve Americans' freedom of speech.

Unlike the Chinese Communist Party, the United States believes in individual freedom, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

Based on the established relationship between your company and the Chinese Communist Party, it is impossible for me to conclude that the video is anything different than the type of propaganda the CCP requires Chinese companies to push on…

This company is a picture-perfect example of why this committee in Congress needs to take action immediately to amend section 230.

China has a plan that is executing with brutal efficiency of a dictatorship.

I'm extremely concerned, and I think you should be too.

The one benefit of an authoritarian regime is that they can do exactly what they want on a moment's notice.

The cartels are producing fentanyl-laced pills that cost about 10 cents apiece. So that means they're killing Americans for 10 cents.

We have a fentanyl poisoning problem in this country.

Again, 107,000 people died of overdose deaths in 2021 alone. That number went up, I believe it's about the exact same in 2022.

The HALT Fentanyl Act is the agency's top priority.

Those that are lacing narcotics with fentanyl are committing murder.

This bill requires the FCC to review its rules related to certain satellite services.

One key area that is holding the United States back from reaching its full potential for energy production is refining capacity.

It is important this Congress examine its laws and conducts oversight of agency regulations to understand where the market is heading.

I look forward to working with you this year, and I know it is going to be a good relationship.

I am looking forward to a lot of good things.

We need to get this legislation across the finish line because we want to stop this horrendous rise in deaths across this country.
