Mike Bost

Thank you for this opportunity and for your unwavering support of our nation's Veterans and those who have dedicated their life work to delivering on our promises.

I think this is an absolute failure. I think it is putting lipstick on a pig and pouring millions, if not billions of dollars into a system that is not providing the best care for veterans, period.

I want to thank the Ranking Member Takano for working with me over the last few months to refine the EHR reset legislation.

I also have concerns about how much safety it is that we can actually put in autonomous trucks.

My big concern is, is that the only ones who will have access are the mega trucking companies and/or those that can make the major investments and that it will strangle the small trucking companies out of business.

I have some serious concerns as far as AV trucking. And I want to be real clear that I am not opposed to it.

I thank Representatives Rosendale, Hudson, DesJarlais, Self, Cammack, Higgins, Ogles, Miller, Boebert, Van Orden, and Kiggans for joining me on this amendment. Madam Chair, I encourage all of my colleagues to support this amendment, and I…

Right now, you have no way of proving why Mr. DelBene has ever recused himself.

Again, the VFW thanks you and Ranking Member Takano for the opportunity to testify on these important issues before this committee.

All we are trying to do is make sure that the rights of our veterans are the exact same rights that every other citizens have.

It is a real live fact that some people, matter of fact, what was the numbers here? Let me see.

Given that, do you think a veteran, at the very minimum, should have the same due process rights as every other American before they lose their constitutional right?

Do you believe that veterans fought to defend those constitutional rights?

Do you believe an American citizen is due their day in court before they lose a constitutional right?

Every veteran deserves protection of their constitutional rights.

Congress should pass legislation protecting veterans' rights.

I want no veteran to commit suicide. I also do not want any veteran to lose the rights that they were willing to fight for.

I am arguing about the fact that veterans are losing their constitutional right without due process.

What we are doing with the process is we are punishing our veterans for simply seeking help.

This bill is not about guns on demand, but about due process and the Constitution.

We should be breaking down barriers when our veterans are telling us why they would not go to the VA.

Even criminals have to be convicted of a crime in a court of law before their names are reported to NICS.

VA should not be able to take away a veteran's Second Amendment rights because they need help managing their benefits.

But this is the problem that the American people feel. When the overreach comes so far that you leave the navigable waters that you should be governing and controlling--and we all want clean water--to worrying about what water runs off the…

I think the Supreme Court has already ruled that you didn't do that, right?
