Nancy Mace

And they are doing it all day, every day, aren't they?

The Chinese Communist Party is the greatest threat to the free world known to man.

I would argue that democracy is not throwing your No. 1 political opponent off the ballot in a state so that you can, you know, threaten democracy.

Even more. How does the CCP manage to hack into these systems? How do they do it?

The CCP is trying to do that, but also, I mean, there are American companies, there are social media companies, there are apps that are essentially doing the same thing.

The Biden Administration has failed to protect Americans not only at our wide-open Southern border, but also our interest from the communist threat.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Commissioner Califf, thank you for being here today, and thank you for your work on scheduling reform and your recommendation that cannabis should be moved to Schedule III.

I have seen it benefit in my own life, and welcome to my world. I am a mom of teenage kids.

While I firmly support the right of Americans to make choices about what to put in their body, we can all agree it is a desirable outcome for less people to smoke cigarettes.

I would encourage you and I would love for you to review the States Reform Act, a bill that I wrote last session.

There is a balance between Federal regulation and also regulation amongst the states.

Thank you for your work on scheduling reform and your recommendation that cannabis should be moved to Schedule III.

There is a lot at risk here, and we do not want our adversaries getting ahead of us.

We do not want to stifle innovation. We do not want to stifle investment in AI or its innovation in any way, shape, or form.

We want to make sure that the United States is the clear winner, the clear innovator in all technology, including AI.

We should target those harms, we should treat those seriously, and we should deal with them.

They do not have to follow U.S. law or regulation.

They can do whatever they want.

I would never, ever, ever, ever want to see government regulation, government requirements stifle our ability for this American company to advance technology as fast as it has.

I know Dr. Lee is going to disagree here. So why does it not, in your opinion, because to me it is so obvious.

How does this EO stifle innovation, limit potentially investments in AI in the United States?

It gives them, basically, broad authority to do whatever.

Any movement on the DPA provisions of the EO?

Does anyone on the panel know if Commerce is doing anything related to this executive order?

Wouldn't it be better to have a microcosm of experiments?
