SENATOR MEMBER SENATE ARMED
SERVICES COMMITTEE TOMMY
TUBERVILLE GREAT TO SEE
UKRAINE HAS BEEN ASKING FOR
MISSILES SINCE START OF THIS
WAR WHAT TOOK SO LONG?
IS THIS THE RIGHT MOVE.
>> WELL, IT IS TYPICALLY THIS
ADMINISTRATION, SPEAKS OUT OF
BOTH SIDES OF ITS MOUTH
PUTTING ALL KINDS OF
REGULATIONS ON DEFENSE
CONTRACTORS MAKING MISSILES
DEFENSE MISSILES WANT TO STUDY
IMPACT OF BOMBS ON ENVIRONMENT
INTO MILITARY ABORTIONS NOW WE
ARE ALL FOR DEFENDING UKRAINE
WE KNEW THIS WAS COMING
OBVIOUSLY, DID GETTING INTO
THERE WILL BE MORE A MISSILE
WAR, THAN A GROUND WAR, SO,
THEY NEED TO BE PROTECTED BUT
THERE IS A LOT OF QUESTIONS
WITH THIS FIRST OF ALL DO WE
HAVE ENOUGH TO GIVE WE’VE GOT
THEM ALL OVER NATO, TAKES A
LOT OF TRAINING, MARIA TO DO
THIS.
AND WE DO NOT NEED TO SEND OUR
PEOPLE IN THERE RUNNING
MACHINES.
HOPEFULLY A QUICK PROCESS BUT
IT IS NOT A QUICK PROCESS TO
TRAIN ON PATRIOTS, A LOT
OF VARIABLES GO ALONG HERE
AGAIN, THIS IS GOING TO GET
UGLY PUTIN IS NOT GOING TO SIT
BACK LET UP ON UKRAINE, HE IS
GOING TO LET THEM HAVE IT IF

MINISTRY MODI IN INDIA LAST
YEAR WE WOULDN’T SELL THEM TO
HIM WE NEED TO HELP ALLIES TO

MARIA: FRANKLY WHOLE ISSUE
SPARK ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS
MONEY SPENT ON OUR OWN
DEFENSES, I ASK YOU ABOUT THE
MONEY ALLOCATED FOR DEFENSE
SPENDING WHERE WE SIT RIGHT

IN CHINA MAJOR THREATS THIS
COUNTRY FACES RIGHT NOW
PREDOMINANTLY FROM YOU

ABOUT MILITARY READINESS DUE
TO MISPERCEPTIONS, THIS NDAA
HAS FLAT SPENDING ON DEFENSE I
KNOW YOU AND COLLEAGUES
TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WE GOT
MORE MONEY THAN PRESIDENT
BIDEN WANTED, ALLOCATED TOWARD
DEFENSE.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER INFLATION,
RUNNING AT 7, 8% RIGHT NOW
LOOK AT NUMBERS THERE IS NO
MAJOR INCREASE IN DEFENSE
SPENDING IN THIS NEW BILL.
>> NO YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT WE
PASSED THE NDAA IN CONFERENCE
MEETINGS BACK IN JUNE, THEY
USE IT AS A POLITICAL PLOY
HAVE BEEN WANTING TOING THE
LOAD THINGS DOWN WITH THINGS
NONDEFENSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN
DONE THREE MONTHS AGO SOME
KIND OF CLAUSE FOR INFLATION
IF WE DON’T HAVE DEFENSE FOR
THIS COUNTRY WE ARE IN A HUGE
PROBLEM AS YOU SAID EARLIER
CHINA IS SPRINTING OUT
SPRINTING US TO THE FINISH
LINE IN SPACE IN THE GROUND,
ON SEA, IN THE AIR.
AND WE’RE SITTING BACK
WATCHING IT HAPPEN WE GOT TO
MAKE MINDS UP IF WE WANT TO
PROTECT AMERICAN PEOPLE WITH
THIS ADMINISTRATION, OR WITH
ARE WE GOING TO WORRY ABOUT
WOKE AGENDA PRIORITIES THEY
HAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY DEFENSE
OF OUR ALLIES.
MARIA: YOU ARE AN ELECTED
OFFICIAL ARE YOU GOING TO MOVE
THE NEEDLE ON THIS OR WHAT?
IN NEW CONGRESS?
WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THIS?
WE KNOW THAT CHINA IS PUTTING
ITS DEFENSE AND MILITARY AS A
PRIORITY.
AS IT GETS SET TO -- I DON’T
KNOW, INVADE TAIWAN CONTINUE
TO PROVOCATIONS NOT JUST
TAIWAN, BUT ON AMERICA.
>> HAVE WELL NOT A BIG
PRIORITY FOR THIS
ADMINISTRATION, UNLESS WE
REALLY BRING IT UP.
AGAIN, WE ARE IN MINORITY,
SCHUMER, LEADER SCHUMER A GUY
USES POLITICS AT EVERY ANGLE
KNOWS NDAA IS IMPORTANT TO
REPUBLICANS CAN PRETTY MUCH
GET WHAT HE WANTS, ON THAT,
MCCONNELL TOLD HIM CLEAN THIS
