So when we're talking about the corrections in this reconciliation bill, again, it's corrections of overpayments and people that have not been eligible for these programs by law as it is currently written.
So when you are arguing, when you are arguing about illegals that are receiving Medicaid benefits, 1.4 million, 1.4, they're not, they are not eligible.
So they will be coming off.
So people are not, well, we all are going to die.
But what you don't want to do is listen to me when I say that we are going to focus on those that are most vulnerable.
Hello, everyone.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for a statement that I made yesterday at my town hall.
See, I was in the process of answering a question that had been asked by an audience member when a woman who was extremely distraught screamed out from the back corner of the auditorium, people are going to die.
And I made an incorrect assumption that everyone in the auditorium understood that yes, we are all going to perish from this earth.
So I apologize.
And I'm really, really glad that I did not have to bring up the subject of the tooth fairy as well.
But for those that would like to see eternal and everlasting life, I encourage you to embrace my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a letter submitted by Mr. Mark Lucas, who is a fellow Iowan and Iowa Army National Guard member.
Mr. Lucas and I.
served together in the Iowa Army National Guard.
He succeeded Pete Hegseth as Executive Director of Concerned Veterans for America.
And in his letter, Mr. Lucas says that Mr. Hegseth, quote, laid a strong foundation
that postured CVA for long-term success, end quote, and that Mr. Hegseth, quote, continued to be an invaluable asset to both me as a leader and the organization, end quote.
So I would ask for unanimous consent to enter this Washington Times article and the letter from Mr. Mark Lucas into the record.
