[Applause] and ladies and gentlemen I I'm so grateful to be here it's so inspiring to be with the families of the persons who were killed needlessly at abig gate uh being here today I'm here as a member of Congress but I'm also here as the Grateful father of a son Hunter who served for a year in Afghanistan so I identify with the families additionally I've had 31 years service in the Army guard and so I knew on August 26 2021 that Joe Biden lied to the American people about having military support for his actions there was no letters he claimed he had letters the moment I heard him say that I sent a letter that night to the White House asking for copies of the letters I've sent a number of other letters asking for copies of the letters and so the thought that the president would lie to the American people that the vice president would sign off on the LIE of letters supporting by the military and then in the meantime with the leadership of chairman call Brian Mast we had a hearing where General Millie and McKenzie said they told the president not to do this and the consequence of this and we need to learn from this report is that this gave a green light to war criminal Putin to conduct mass murder in Ukraine it gave a green light to Iran through its puppets to conduct mass murder in Israel and with open borders we have as the FBI has identified an imminent attacks in America of mass murder this needs to change thank you Mr chairman
