Reports persist that there are still a growing number of Arab people opposing their own governments. Now, if this is true, the governments of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan could be toppled, thus destabilizing the entire world. Yet nothing, my colleagues, from the Central Intelligence Agency. This is ridiculous. We spend $40 billion a year and we get these reports from Fox and CNN. Beam me up. I think the Congress of the United States should fire the Central Intelligence Agency and put on contract Fox and CNN. I yield back the fact that Congress should also support a homeland for the Palestinian people before this fiasco escalates to World War III.

Editor's note · Context
