"The subcommittee will come to order."
"It has been a rough couple of years when it has come to the pandemic, but the good news is I believe we are on the other side of it."
"We are going to try to bring the committee back to order."
"So could you give me some clarity on how this gets done in 15 years with the priorities that we are talking about."
"We need to protect Ukraine. Well, basically, there's three key pieces to it. We need to do everything we possibly can to support Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression."
"How it should end is with Russia, basically, going back where they came from and Ukraine being the sovereign democracy that it is and was and should always be."
"I always felt like we should have put more emphasis on the deterrence side of that, and I recommended long-range air defenses."
"We do not want a war with Russia, and we have to be cautious about how we approach this to make sure that we don't do that."
"It seems imperative that we give them the ability to hit these convoys and trucks 20, 30, 40 miles back."
