mr. bergman. i thought that mr.carter asked you a very good question and i was very anxious to hear your answer. but i didn't hear it. the most recent annual speed test by a pc mac found that verizon and at&t's five she speeds in several cities or comparable or sometimes even slower than they are 4g speeds. to make matters worse, consumers sometimes have to pay more for 5g by upgrading their device or their plan. now, i do understand that there are reasons that speeds aren't optimal yet. relative to 5g, but this practice of advertising faster speeds and yes i did watch the super bowl along with millions of others. and one ad after another about complete 5g across the country. all that advertising and charging for it while delivering lower speeds. it seems to me like a highly misleading practice to make. so my question is simple, why are americans more for slower while speeds? >> and if you could just be you know condenser answer. >> absolutely. thank you for the question, congresswoman, i'm glad to have a chance to.

mr. bergman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. one of my colleagues asked general milley that you would commit to ensuring that the gold star family criteria remain the same, and i believe i heard you say yes. >> i am very committed to that. >> okay, secretary austin, i would like to hear it from you. >> yes. >> very good. that is probably one of the most solemn duties that we have, is to appropriately honor not only the men and women who die in service of our country in combat, but also their families as well. let's talk a little bit about recruiting. general milley, you opened up your statement, and i think accurately so, by saying we have the best led, best trained, best equipped, et cetera, et cetera, military in the world. do we have the best recruited military in your estimation? >> the best recruited? >> yeah. >> i think all militaries are a reflection of the societies they come from, and we have a particularly challenging recruiting environment as the former chief of staff of the army and it was true then and now and true

mr. johnson: thank you for that fight and that very worthwhile legislation, general bergman. you're right, the surge in crime is directly related to the board for the so many ways because we know dangerous people have come across that border. it's completely open to ms-13 gang members, violent criminals, convicted persons, criminals who come from other countries, you have child predators, even terrorists who have come across that border. we know this for a fact and still they won't change the policies. mr. speaker, i'm happy to yield next to the gentleman from california, mr. lamalfa. mr. lamalfa: thank you, mr. johnson, appreciate it. president biden recently announced his fiscal year 2023 budget. the proposal includes a plan to spend $73 trillion in a 10-year period that will add $15 trillion more to our national debt. this at a time when government spending is already driving inflation and making all these items that much more expensive. airline fares, lodging, gas, the cost of automobiles, new or used. i stopped in at a dealer the other day, they're finding that people ar

mr. lyoya demanding tonight? >> well, obviously, the thing they most fervently want is justice. but they understand it is going to be a journey. so, immediately they asked at the press conference today, john bergmane of the person who executed their son. >> now, i want to warn people the video encounter, again, it's disturbing. i want to give people a moment before we play it again. but it's obviously central to understanding what happened. do you believe the officer had any valid reason to draw his gun? >> when you watch this video, the thing that jumps out at me as well as many other people is how unnecessary this is. this police officer escalated a simple misdemeanor traffic stop to the point of an execution when he shot patrick in the back of his head. and it's very troubling because he never tried to deescalate. and while we are here in america and leaders around the world are making sure that we condemn russian soldiers who are shooting civilians in the back of their head in the ukraine, well, we want them to also condemn police officers shooting unarmed black civilians in the back of the head here in america. >> so, when asked what officers are trained to do in these types of situations, t
