schmitt: great to be with you.ident trump decision to slap major tariffs on mexico and canada. he's doubling the tariffs on chinese imports. it is a move that has a lot of americans nervous, is reflected in the markets. at the time when americans are dealing with high housing prices, high grocery prices, inflation is as stubborn as it is, why is a trade war the right approach right now? sen. schmitt: you should look at these things into separate buckets. as it relates to china, president trump did this in the first term. we didn't see inflation. we try to rebalance the skills a little bit and we saw record wage growth among every demographic. we were doing quite way. joe biden kept them in place. as it relates to canada and mexico, this is about them to deal seriously with not just illegal immigration at the southern border and northern border, but as it relates to fentanyl. people might dismiss the idea that the northern border is that much of a problem but the truth is we have seen a 2000% increase in the last ye

schmitt: anybody else? >> i think the challenge comes into play where we have to afford the military the ability to be agile and maneuver and keep our adversaries off balance. mr. clark: which some of the technologies that dr. baylis is developing could help us to do. so if we were to field those, it would make our military more agile when it comes to sharing spectrum at home. also more agile when it comes to creating problems for our enemies overseas. so that's really important. it will take time to get to the point where those technologies can be incorporated into our military systems. until then we're going to have to have some hybrid approach. sen. schmitt: thank you, mr. chairman. sen. cruz: thank you. >> thank you, mr. chair. thank you all for being here. appreciate how busy you all are. i think this is one of the key discussions we're going to have here all year. spectrum relocation fund, let me start with that. provides funding to federal agencies to research the feasibility of modifying and if nece

schmitt: i rise today to argue for a swift and decisive confirmation of mr. colby. it is common today to hear leaders in foreign -- let me restart that. it is common today to hear leaders in the foreign policy establishment talk of upholding the rules-based international horde and promoting liberal values and norms. what is much less common is to hear anyone talk about tangible, concrete american interests. mr. colby is a welcome exception. he believes that america is a real concrete nation and people with real concrete interests. and that the fundamental purpose of our foreign policy is to protect and advance those interests. in the past 30 years, american foreign policy has lurched from disaster to disaster. to be a friend of the reigning consensus is to be an advocate of same failed ideas that led us to spend trillions of dollars for causes that were not ours while leaving us woefully unprepared for the ones that are. america does not need more of the same. what america needs is a new approach, a new strategy, a new philosophy of strength for the 21st century. th
