vaccine mandates are crippling their industry's ability to recover from this pandemic.

This investment ensures that the Coast Guard will have the workforce it needs to accomplish its mission at home and abroad.

some believe in their personal freedom and will not get the vaccine.

That is the reason why we are asking the administration, you know, to at least give some sense of parity when it comes to the vaccine mandate deadlines.

I was really pleased to work with Commandant Schultz to get phase 1 of the Training Center Cape May recapitalization project listed as the Coast Guard's number one housing shore infrastructure budget priority for 2021.

The U.S. Coast Guard is expanding operations across the country, of course, as you know, and across the world.

the fact that we are going to lose some of them, a good number of them if--unless this vaccine mandate changes is obviously, I think, going to increase that challenge even more.

We can build all the cutters in the world, but we need personnel training to operate those vessels.

It is imperative that this current project not fall short.

What I'm saying in this book and I have been saying in a speech that the President critiqued at the Republican Jewish Coalition last weekend or at the Reagan Library in September is that we have to be the party now that is talking about…

If you continue to say stuff like he said in that statement and continue to dwell on 2020, then no, that's not good and that's why I wrote the book. That is why we need rescuing.

And that's why I wrote the book because someone has to start that conversation on our side of the aisle.

I would have supported this Committee -- the Select Committee if Nancy Pelosi would have allowed Kevin McCarthy to put on the Committee who he wanted to put on the Committee.

You can't stand behind the seal of the President and the East Room of the White House and tell the American people the election was stolen when you have no evidence to prove that it was.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris right now are putting forward their agenda and trying to get it through, which they have every right to do because they won the election.

But now, what I am saying to folks is --

What I said there, I absolutely believed that he was our strongest option that was left when I said those things.

If we want to be an appropriate counterweight to that, we can't be talking about what you and I are talking about right now.
