White supremacy is disgusting. It is disgusting.

You guys are playing a very dangerous game by continually overstating the threat of white supremacy.

I believe that our shipbuilding industry in America is the strongest in the world.

The only reason South Korea is free is because of America.

CISA has broad authority to provide cybersecurity assistance to cross-sectors, yes.

I believe that should be our task, to address that as Congress, to make sure you have the necessary authority and that the laws are written to allow you to exercise that authority, and you have the technology required to protect our ports.

We are not asking you to stop doing your job, good sir.

So the Port of Lake Charles, for instance, in my district is a hub of energy export sector of the entire country, including LNG and petrochemical products.

We have given you ample opportunity to seek some sort of honorable exit from your executive position, sir.

You are standing your testimony today regarding operational control of our Southern Border, which by any reasonable man's definition, certainly been lost.

In society, woke is a social discussion, but in the military, woke is weak and that is the problem.

Those Safe Third Agreements that the United States had with countries to our south have been allowed to lapse.

Both countries benefit from an orderly and secure border.

I hope we can all remember that shared humanity.

The most significant drug threat in the maritime domain remains cocaine.

Let me summarize that things are worse than they were in 2019 and 2020.

So, when that executive authority is abused and infringes upon our constitutional rights, do we not as Americans have the right to respond and stand for our rights?

The Biden Administration, with the stroke of a pen through ATF rule, is forcing Americans into felony possession of illegal firearms.

When you have an executive branch that abuses that authority, you don't change the authority, you change the executive.

The Constitution doesn't say a lot of things we wish it would, does say something that others don't like, but it most certainly grants every free American the right to keep and bear arms.

It is intellectually unsound to assign an act of violence to a mechanism of man.

There is no such thing as gun violence, ladies and gentlemen. It is only human violence.

Mr. Chairman, evil is not born in the mechanisms of man, it is born in the heart of man.

The failure of our policies, as we see them at our Southern Border, fall squarely upon the shoulders of Secretary Mayorkas.

The current administration, as every executive administration in the United States, has a Constitutional responsibility to secure the international border.
