this is a question of actions taken, whether by the government, whether by drug dealers, the government in China or drug dealers or others, to murder our kids.

Thank you for being here, thank you for your service. Thank you for you and the Administration's leadership, especially on standing up to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
