This is just more liberal gibberish. $1.4 billion? Sir, you tell these young people behind me, you tell them instead of building ships, instead of building airplanes, instead of protecting cybersecurity, you are going to really pay for transgender operations. Hogwash. You try to make that case to anybody in this room, and they would laugh--well, it is so serious, they wouldn't laugh. Let me tell you some other things that I am sick and tired of-- feelings. Talk to the military Gold Star mothers who have lost their children. Tell them what you just said on this House floor. An Admiral told midshipmen at the Naval Academy that they need to read ``How to Be an Antiracist,'' a book that teaches the only remedy to pass discrimination. Another one. Military recruitment videos in recent years have touted the military's inclusivity to LGBT members. They use a rainbow flag. Enough is enough. Americans are tired of this. Why do you think there is a shortage of people entering the military who have to put up with this kind of thinking? For this reason, we shouldn't even be wasting our time debating this thing, but it is what it is. Thanks to the Biden administration and their anti-military and anti-readiness, it is a time in America that we are in severe danger economically and security-wise. I reserve the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the chair.
