00:10Thank you, Mr. Chairman, thank you very much.
00:14Elliston Berry is a constituent of mine, and those of you who don't know her, she was a
00:21victim of deepfake revenge porn.
00:25I want to be thankful to her for her bravery, for her coming to the Capitol during the joint
00:34address sitting next to the First Lady of the United States of America.
00:38Thankful to the President for recognizing her in the gallery in front of millions of
00:43Americans.
00:46And it's bravery like hers, it's bravery like yours, coming forward, telling your stories.
00:53The reason we're here today is, and I see some of the families out there in the audience,
00:59and I see photos, can you hold those up?
01:05This is the reason we're here today.
01:08This is the reason we're here today, members.
01:13Thank you for being here, thank you for your bravery, thank you for telling your story.
01:19This is what we need to hear, because it is about the safety of the children of America.
01:25That's the reason we're here.
01:28And that is why we have the Take It Down Act, it's why I'm proud to be a co-sponsor, and
01:34I look forward to its passage.
01:36I don't have any questions for y'all.
01:38By the time it gets to me, all the questions pretty much have been asked that I wanted
01:41to ask.
01:42I just wanted to thank y'all very much for being here, for telling your story, for your
01:46bravery, and I look forward to the passage.
01:48Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
01:49I yield back the rest of my time.
