And the number one way we can do that from Capitol Hill is\u2026we\u2019ve got to get back to regular order in Congress. We have to have real appropriations, not smoke-filled room foolishness. We\u2019ve got to get all that COVID money out that was appropriated, still not spent. Our economy can\u2019t take it. And then, you have to get to the hard stuff. Yes, we have to have border security. You can\u2019t have fentanyl in our streets. Yes, we\u2019ve got to make sure our military is strong because the Chinese are\u2026a clear threat to global security, especially in Taiwan. All these things are happening at warp speed. We\u2019ve got to get serious. No more games.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
