Last year, after touring PortMiami, Congressman Mike Gallagher said he felt ports were doing what they needed to do to mitigate potential risks in the short-term.

Congressman Gallagher, chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, said that he felt that ports were doing what they needed to do to mitigate potential risk only in the short term.

It's clear President Biden does not have a plan to protect the American people--not against crime in our major cities, not at the southern border, and not against the threat of China.

That is unacceptable.

What an incredible opportunity to be able to discuss the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party in general but to American agriculture in particular.

The time is now to ensure that every policy we pass and champion puts America First.

The threat posed by PRC drones operating in the United States is well known.

the Chinese Communist Party is actively engaged in economic warfare against the United States, and our agriculture sector is already a prime target.

Cellular connectivity modules, or components that enable Internet of Things (IoT) devices, supplied by companies subject to the jurisdiction, direction, or control of the CCP pose potential significant national security risks to the United…

The United States uses such connectivity modules in a wide variety of devices, including smart devices and domestic telecom networks.

If we want peace, we must prepare for war.

TikTok is a threat to our national security because it is owned by ByteDance, which does the bidding of the Chinese Communist Party. We know this because ByteDance leadership says so and because Chinese law requires it. This bill…

As a result, the ATO process makes it impossible for our forces to field the best software at the speed of war.

I had to remain home in Green Bay, Wisconsin to attend to a family matter and was unable to vote. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 79 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 80. PERSONAL EXPLANATION

It's unclear to me why we barreled ahead with a vote knowing that the votes weren't there. We did not need to embarrass ourselves.

The subcommittee will come to order. We are really lucky to have three incredible witnesses today to talk about a very important topic, military innovation, and how we can learn from the lessons of the past.

MacArthur argued for democracy and said that the dictator may start off well, but once they encounter friction, they slow down whereas democracy starts slowly, but they activate thousands of flexible and free-thinking minds and over time…

In your recommendations, the commission cites the need to prioritize funding and accelerate long-range non-nuclear precision strike programs.

So if we are worried about a near-term deterrence crisis, right, if we think is the sort of window of maximum danger in the 2020s, and we don't know, admittedly, we don't know what lurks in the mind and heart of Xi Jinping.

There is at least one country that wants it to fail, yeah.

That is a concerning trend.
