Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 

Good to see you again, Commissioner.  

Let’s cut to the chase.  

Your attendance today stands in stark contrast to our attempts to get Elon Musk and ‘DOGE’ in front of us.  

This hearing today is paramount because we have 24-year-olds at ‘DOGE’ going through people's records at Social Security. 

When people hear about that, they are outraged about it.  

We have a bill to stop that.
