What these authors say is that if you are White, you are incapable of not being racist. That, in and of itself, is racist, sir.

With a mandate, you were directed to develop a DEI plan within 30 days and report back annually, based on percentages. This is illegal, it is wrong, and it is divisive.

It is equal outcomes for all, which is a hallmark of Marxism.

I am all for equal opportunity.

Wasn't that the main recruiting effort for the Army for at least a year because it has now shifted?

Why do we have, with the Army in a recruiting crisis, a 50-year low, what drove, what data drove 'The Calling'?

I just want to restate again that when cadets, military families, Active Duty members stop bringing us these issues, then we will stop talking about it.

Are there any school boards that have prohibited JROTC programs in their school districts? If so, can you please provide the committee with a list?

I am pleased that the FY24 Defense Authorization Conference report raised the number of authorized programs from 3,700 to 4,000.

Section 2031 of Title 10 requires that a JROTC program's minimum enrollment be at least 10% of the total number of students enrolled at a school, or 100 students, whichever is less.

Perceived politicization drives declining confidence in the military.

Israel is in the midst of a war that is testing the limits of its multilayered missile defense architecture.

It is critical that Congress quickly approve the supplemental aid package to Israel.

Thank you again for your tireless work over many years on this issue.

I want to thank him publicly at this hearing for doing that.

I think there has to be absolute transparency even with our own government.

I was appalled by it.

How is it that these three individuals are worth a staggering $11 billion? Why isn't that money being conveyed to the people in Gaza?

The U.N. could be doing so much. But it has failed to step up at a time of great need.

The Abraham Accords recognize that both Israelis, or both Jews and Arabs belong to the same land.

Hamas is empowered by the fecklessness of UNRWA.

I ask the same question. Why are there refugee camps in Gaza?

And with respect to calls of a cease-fire. If you watched the news today, Israel has encircled Gaza City, has taken control from Hamas from the perimeter.

Why are there refugee camps in Gaza after 75 years? We will talk about that. It does not make any sense.

But, imagine after this war is over, after Gaza is free from the control of Hamas, a genocidal, nihilistic terrorist organization seeking the destruction of Israel, when the Gazans are free to rebuild their society and their community.
