You will have my full support and passionate support to get the Social Security Fairness Act passed and signed into law in the 118th Congress.

They deserve every penny of it.

I don't care how much it costs. It is not our money. This money belongs to the people that have earned it.

We are going to fix this travesty, and we are going to fix it in this Congress.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. The salary of William…

Your day is coming, Mr. Wray.

The Biden administration has unwittingly facilitated cartel operations at the Southern Border, and, as a result, we face a human trafficking crisis.

The policies of the Biden administration have, I believe, unwittingly facilitated the business models of the cartels who would thrive on human misery and human trafficking and drug trafficking.

The purpose of today's hearing is to examine how transnational criminal organizations commit incalculable horrors and disregard for human life in their trafficking schemes.

The border crisis has facilitated an immigration crisis in the United States and has allowed criminal cartels to sprout--to prosper by exploiting the most vulnerable individuals.

I look forward to working with my colleagues as we work to fight human trafficking, strengthen our border security, and bring these criminals at the border to justice.

The Biden administration has been quite focused on destroying the American energy industry. This entire insane focus on allegedly protecting a species of whale in the Gulf of Mexico has been used by the Biden administration to attempt to…

This is the balance that we seek to invest American treasure effectively, efficiently, appropriately, in order to counter the growing threat of China.

Today we are focused on United States Coast Guard engagement in the Indo-Pacific region.

Our Nation has suffered a generational trauma brought upon our citizenry by the Biden administration policies as enacted and executed by Secretary Mayorkas.

It is a really painful discussion for my constituents and my family back home. I feel that our Nation, in many ways, has betrayed our biblical responsibility to care for our elders.

The United States is not secure. We suck at security.

I see how suck we are at security as a Nation and as a world.

We need to get to the point in cyber where people are scared to hit the enter button, and they are not scared.

I would urge you guys, I've talked to Kay Granger about doing some sort of cutout where you say, this percent of your budget can be spent on a breach response.

We do not build AI into our own governmental enforcement systems that would threaten the individual rights and freedoms of Americans.

We have to establish security against weaponized AI from criminal networks and from nation-states that will use AI against our Nation.

We have to be very focused on the balance moving forward between the power of AI and the potential dangers of AI.
