This week, I delivered remarks to First Liberty, a group of lawyers who are at the front lines of the battle to defend religious liberty, and the founding principles that have made our country great.\n\nOn Monday, I joined Varney & Co. on Fox Business to discuss how the Biden administration has undermined our ally Israel by enabling and funding Hamas terrorists who are slaughtering, beheading, and raping Jewish women and children.\n\n\u201cThis President and his administration have approached our enemies [with] weakness. \u2026 Appeasement doesn't work. \u2026 We're gonna send $100 million to Gaza \u2013 that'll go straight to Hamas. That is insanity. Stop sending money to people who are killing not only our allies, but killing Americans.\u201d\n\nOn Tuesday, as the ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee I attended the subcommittee on Travel, Tourism, and Export Promotion hearing on \u201cSustainable Tourism for a Thriving Economy.\u201d\n\nOn Tuesday, I also joined Eric Bolling on The Balance on Newsmax to discuss the horrific manifesto of the deranged leftist Nashville school shooter, and the left\u2019s toxic rhetoric on \u201cwhite privilege\u201d and the role it played in this tragedy.\n\n\u201cThis manifesto demonstrates that this deranged shooter was a radical leftist who was lashing out at \u2018white privilege.\u2019 The toxic rhetoric from the left, the toxic rhetoric of critical race theory, is what drives this nonsense of \u2018white privilege.\u2019 Any time there is a crime that contradicts the narrative of the left, it quickly disappears from the headlines.\"\n\nRest assured, I will continue to unequivocally defend your right to practice your faith freely.
