America. Everybody. But today i want to focus on one aspect of American Life that remains particularly skewed by race and by health, a source of in equity that has ripple effects on families and communities and ultimately on our nation and that is our criminal Justice System.

Senator, i think our experience in ukraine and in the other examples that you use highlights the fact that we need to update our deterrence and response model to deal with the kind of threat we had today, which has been described as a hieber threat from russia, which combines Unconventional Warfare as well
