This is step one in the Democrats crazy efforts to impeach the president of the United States.

We know what this is. This is impeachment round three. This is to go after President Trump.

Well, I mean, we know what this is about. This is impeachment round three for the Democrats, same thing. For five years, they have been going after President Trump.

We know what this is about. This is about going after President Trump. You know, I mean, the Democrats, they don't want to talk about anything else, so they've got to talk about this.

I thought it was right on target.

I look forward to today's hearing on facial recognition technology. I am hopeful we can approach this issue in a truly bipartisan manner.

This committee does need to hold a hearing on the origins COVID-19.

I am inviting you to continue this bipartisanship. Join me in calling for an inspector general investigation into any monitoring that the NSA or any other element of the intelligence community has engaged in relative to Tucker Carlson.

It is an outrage. It is a dereliction of our duty.

Americans have a Fourth Amendment expectation of privacy regarding all their information, including, as we've talked about, information stored in the cloud.

In the United States of America, the government should not spy on its citizens, plain and simple.

You can't exercise your right if you don't know it's been violated.

Schools should have been open months ago.

I mean, it sort of surprised me. I guess when you pay people not to work, you shouldn't be surprised when you don't have workers.

We surely ought to be addressing the origins of COVID-19.

It seems to me, Chairman--and, again, I know you don't talk--you're not going to comment on policies--but I don't know that Democrats are doing anything right.

Seems like both have got--both got some problems today.
