department has grown and evolved with our nation. our mission is to provide the military forces needed to deter war and ensure our nation's security. that is the job of our department of defense, not to wage war in foreign lands and foreign countries at the expense of the american taxpayer, but it is to deter war. it is also the role of the department of defense to ensure our nation's security but our border is being ignored. every single day our border is invaded by thousands and over 300 americans die daily from fentanyl brought into our country by mexican cartels. i would say those are the enemies we need to be focusing on, not in a country called syria where no one in my district ever demands, marjorie, we must go to war in syria. i never hear that request from anyone that voted for me. as a matter of fact, the veterans in my district say we are sick and tired of foreign wars. we are fed up with it. and too many of our american military have died in foreign lands serving their foreign border and their foreign causes. so i'd like to thank my colleague, matt gaetz, for introducing this resolution and i strongly encourage all of my

admiral mike mullen said the greatest threat to our national security is our department and deficit,hen it was $14 trillion. now the treasury secretary was before the finance committee talking about president biden which will drive that debt up to $50 trillion, and she wouldn't even commitment the spending was a mayor -- admit the spending was a major contributor. of course, we had hhs secretary becerra rah in front of us. we've been trying to get the last 50 pages of the fauci e-mails. they've allowed us to look at 350 pages in 50-page tranches in reading rooms, can't make copies, but we can write down what we're finding. we've been i trying to get those the over a year. the has to do with the origin of covid. the secretary complained that he wasn't getting cooperation from the people they're investigating. well, we're not getting cooperation from hhs secretary beer is a rah. so i'm hoping -- beer is a rah. i'm hoping we get those pages because the resistance indicates that's where some relatively incriminating information is. maria: yeah, we're going to wait for that. we don't the

department of the sumy region of the department of strategic investigations the national police department of the security oblast under the leadership of the prosecutor's office reported the suspicion to the director , what was he doing ? always cautious in the assessment of such cases, a report of suspicion is of course more than nothing . that is, it is not just that some criminal proceedings have been initiated, yes, it has already been reported about the suspicion, there are probably some grounds, but well until the court's verdict has entered into legal force we cannot call people guilty and, well, very often in these bravura reports from the sbu or other investigative investigative bodies, uh, in court , then everything turns out to be wrong, that's why i'm always careful in evaluating such things, let's ask do you know what kind of architectural monument was reconstructed for this money? no, i don't know. well, then we'll find out . everything starts in the region of sowing . what can you say about sumshchyna? in the rows of the territory, how are the farmers actually set up, and the agrarians? wel

just as soon as paul wolfowitz, his projected counties and the pentagon, the national security council, and the state department on quote. and then you said something that strikes me as critically important. even today. you see continued to advise the obama administration as late as 2015. and some of those people are still in government today. is it even possible to save ourselves from warmongers and war criminals when they're practically embedded, permanently in the government? no. as long as they are embedded permanently, which we have seen and it's not just victorian new and it's lots of are there in permanently embedded in the government and it is impossible to on it as long as they are there to have a different foreign policy. so if you want to different foreign policy, these individuals not just their philosophy because you know, it's a free country use free speech. you can think what you want to think. but neoconservatism is not what the american people want. that's not what they believe in. that's not the foreign policy they which to pursue. and yet we have non elected bureaucrats appointees who persist

nations closer to china. the funny thing is. a that the state department, the white house, the national security council, the pentagon, they all believe that they all believe that the us is the long term force for stability and for peace in the middle east. they don't want to talk about iraq. they don't want to talk about syria, they don't want to talk about libya or a little further field. they don't want to talk about afghanistan, pakistan, and iran. the truth of the matter is that the u. s. is being supplanted as the dominant authority in, in the middle east. the chinese do not as a matter of practice, invade other countries like united states does. there are occasional border skirmishes with the indians, for example, with the vietnamese 2 generations ago. but the chinese just don't want and we invade other countries like the united states does. and so when other countries turn to china, as we saw with saudi arabia and iran last week, that is supreme really frustrating for the united states. because we always like to think that we reserve that wall for ourselves, and that's just not the way things are in the year 2023 in israel, pe

but certainly throughout this incidents from the state department of national security council from the pentagon just now there is that emphasis that this perhaps was due to recklessness on the part of a russian pilot. if were to believe that it was indeed some sort of collision as well depending on just as incident, demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional. u. s. air forces in europe, air forces, africa routinely fly aircraft throughout europe over sovereign territory. and throughout international airspace in coordination with applicable host nation and international laws. in order to bolster collective european defense and security, these mission support allied partner and us national objectives. as the u. s. air forces in europe, air forces, africa commander emphasized in european command statement. quote, us and allied aircraft will continue to operate in international airspace and we call on the russians to conduct themselves professionally and safely. of course in the u. s. is reacted saying that they will summon the russian on baset over th

that has been a message that has been code by the white house and national security council, and also by the state department. netanyahu has taken this step to say we need to have put a pause on these possible changes and that gives them some room for optimism. they say there was a need for compromise. this has been the message that has been coming out of the main organizations in washington the last few days. there is a need for compromise, and the thing they know -- they think they now have that. what happens next will be important. there has been concern in the biden administration about those in government in jerusalem that are part of netanyahu's coalition. there has been concern that if been gavir got the portfolio, the biden administration, no one -- he attended a fundraising conference a couple weeks ago. there will be some relief from the white house that there has been this pause, but there -- they will be watching carefully as to what happens over the next week or so. >> ukraine's president zelenskyy has visited the city of zaporizhzhia. they will visit a power plant in the coming days. europe's l
