00:15
>> Good morning.
00:16
A point of personal privilege.
00:18
There is a reason why the testimony at the Education
00:22
and Workforce Committee garnered 1 billion views worldwide.
00:27
And it's because those university presidents made
00:29
history by putting the most morally bankrupt testimony
00:33
into the congressional record and the world saw it.
00:36
As a Harvard graduate, I'm reminded
00:39
of Harvard's motto, Veritas, which goes back,
00:42
and it's older than the founding of our country.
00:45
It goes back to the 1640s.
00:47
In addition, the motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae,
00:53
truth for Christ and the church.
00:56
Larry Summers, who was president of Harvard when I was
00:58
in undergrad, talked about the meaning
01:00
of Veritas is divine truth, moral truth.
01:04
Let me be clear, Veritas does not depend on the context.
01:11
This is a moral failure of Harvard's leadership
01:14
and higher education leadership at the highest levels.
01:17
And the only change they have made to their code of conduct,
01:21
where they failed to condemn calls for genocide
01:25
of the Jewish people, the only update to the code of conduct is
01:29
to allow a plagiarist as the president of Harvard.
01:31
Shifting gears to what is on the floor this week,
01:36
I wanted to highlight the National Defense
01:38
Authorization Act.
01:39
I'm a proud member of the House Armed Services Committee.
01:42
Our speaker and our House Republican Conference
01:44
and our committee members have done tremendous work.
01:47
Wanted to highlight the Parents' Bill of Rights provision,
01:49
which I know the speakers fought very hard for,
01:53
that we're very proud to have in the bill.
01:54
That was a provision that I authored
01:56
and garnered bipartisan support in the House.
01:58
But unfortunately, Democrats fought hard to keep that out.
02:01
Our speaker got that provision in.
02:03
And I also wanted to highlight Chairwoman Kathy McMorris-Rogers
02:07
tremendous work on her healthcare package,
02:10
standing up for patients to lower costs
02:12
and bring more transparency in the healthcare space,
02:15
specifically highlighting the community health centers
02:18
provision, which we worked so hard in my office
02:20
with the committee members to get included.
02:23
So with that, I want to turn it over to Erin Houchen,
02:25
who has been such a strong advocate
02:28
on the healthcare provisions.
02:29
Erin.
