services committee, and we just heard testimony yesterday from centcom about the iranian threat. so to see these drone strikes, um you know was really concerning given what we ve seen iran doing with their drones across the world, not just in syria, but certainly supplying russia and the ukraine war. um, and so i think what we saw with the response by the united states as promised from the president and the secretary of defense, it was measured. it was not meant to be escalatory, but certainly you cannot attack us service members and u. s contractors and have that gohan meant with equal force. thank you for responding to that congresswoman. yeah and if we could also talk to you about your significant hearing last night on the chinese continued treatment of the weaker muslim minority population in xinjiang province at the u. n. has now called crime, a crime against humanity, both the trump and by the administration s deem it genocide. though china denies
to be to cut social security, to cut medicare, to cut funding for ukraine, a democratic partner across the world. to not invest in the things that people in my district care about and see as incredibly important for our future. only a former military helicopter can catch something like that when it falls down on my television. congresswoman, let s and on this, that is the fight for maintaining the mobocracy in this country as both former president barack obama current president biden were talking consistently about on the campaign trail, and will likely touch on in philadelphia and pennsylvania. now i want to read for you amidst this talk of what congresswoman liz trainee had to say. she said this, i would much rather served with mikey cheryl, and chrissy ulah hand, alyssa slotkin, than marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert. i just mentioned but they love this country, they do their
which do you think is unravelling faster? the biden white house or the january 6th committee? for over a year, democrats suggested that congressional republicans had led groups of visitors on so-called recon missions on the capitol on january 5th, 2021. remember that? the implication was obvious that republicans, elected officials, were in on the plot. they were insurrectionist themselves, the smear all began just one week after january 6th. i was really shocked when i got into the house office building and saw these groups inside. there would be no tours allowed, even tours given by members. and so the only reason you d have a visitor is on official business. so to see these groups around the capitol complication was really striking. laura: okay, that mikey cheryl needs to be thrown out of office. new jersey, save yourself. the charge then gained momentum
