we must do everything in our power to prevent tragedy like pensacola from ever happening again and the secure u.s. base act is an important step and i'm also working on number of amendments to the national defense authorization act to protect our nation. the first includes my american securities drone act which prohibits the u.s. government from purchasing drones manufactured in countries that identified as national surety threats like iran and china. we know communist china steals our technology and intellectual property yet the u.s. government continues to buy critical technology like drones with american tax dollars from chinese companies backed by their governments. no one in america should buy products made in communist the u.s.pecially not government. we cannot continue this practice and my american securities drone act is a commonsense solution to end the spread tried to our national security. second, i'm working to protect florida's gulf coast from offshore drilling heard i have an amendment and the national defense authorization act that requires the department of defense to r

people are enjoying themselves like it's any other summer in pensacola beach, and the only difference is that yesterday the states shut down stand alone bars so they can no longer sell alcohol on the premises. they can, however, sell to go orders for people to consume that alcohol off of their property. restaurants are still allowed to operate right now, even with bars in those restaurants at 50% capacity. and the governor has said that there are no plans at the moment to continue the future phases of reopening. so right now, he has stopped short of issuing a statewide mask mandate. and we asked some bartenders about that. they said that, you know, they can see that happening. it wouldn't be unreasonable because they see the numbers rising as well, but not everybody feels the same way about that. most people walking around here do not have masks on. there are some businesses that have decided to voluntarily roll back just a little bit, perhaps closing an inside dining room, cancelling large events or music, but again, that is not the majority of the businesses, wolf. >> natasha chen,

that exactly what you have been seeing in pensacola beach?rter: we have seen a lot of young people gathering and especially waiting for a table at the restaurants that are still open. remember, friday, the state shut down the stand-alone bars. they cannot sell alcohol for consumption on premises anymore. the restaurants that have bars, people have been going to them. the younger cohort is the leading group of people with positive covid cases. and he said that it's been a rise in recent weeks and recent days. he is reminding everyone to avoid closed spaces and crowds and close contact settings. these are just the very, the very things that would be happening in a gathering like the republican national convention that's happening less than two months from now in jacksonville. you know, i asked today, about the fact that president trump had disagreements originally with the state of north carolina when the convention was supposed to be in charlotte about potential requirements that they would have had to face with social distancing, and masks. s

i would also put in creative category, what aqap just did in pensacola. they found a way around the immigration defenses that we put into place after 911. and they did that consciously, and it resulted in the first foreign-directed terrorist attack on the homeland attack since 911. that was just several months ago. i think the implication is -- we need to be a equally imaginative in thinking about what they may be doing and try to get in front of them. mr. chairman, when i put all of these lessons together, i come to the strong conclusion that we need to stay focused on foreign terrorist groups. we need to collect best intelligence we can on their plans, intentions, and capabilities. we need -- and i will emphasize this -- working with our allies and partners to continue to keep pressure on them and to make sure they continue to be degraded. i think we also need to think about -- and this is very hard, we should talk about it a little bit in the q&a. it's very hard, but we need to think about -- how do we play a role in getting at the disease rather than
