When I sat here last year, I walked through how we were already in a heightened threat environment.
00:23.6
Since then, we've seen the threat from foreign terrorists rise to a whole other level
00:29.5
after October 7th.
00:31.7
We continue to see the cartels push fentanyl and other dangerous drugs
00:36.5
into every corner of the country claiming countless American lives.
00:42.2
We've seen a spate of ransomware and other cyberattacks
00:46.2
impacting parts of our critical infrastructure and businesses, both large and small.
00:53.0
Violent crime, violent crime, which reached alarming levels coming out of the pandemic,
00:57.9
remains far too high and is impacting far too many communities.
01:04.7
China continues its relentless effort to steal our intellectual property
01:10.8
and most valuable information.
01:14.0
And that is just scratching the surface.
01:17.7
As I look back over my career in law enforcement,
01:21.1
I would be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety
01:25.9
and national security.
01:27.9
So elevated, all at once.
01:30.9
But that is the case as I sit here today.
01:34.9
Funding more than the overall Department of Justice is.
01:38.5
In fact, if the total spending for the DOJ...
01:40.7
This is a time when we need your support the most.
01:44.0
We need all the tools, all the people, and all the resources required
01:47.9
to tackle these threats and to keep Americans safe.
01:52.3
So to take each of those in turn, the tools, the people, and the resources.
01:57.9
First, an absolutely indispensable tool that Congress can give us
02:04.2
in our fight against foreign adversaries
02:06.7
is the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
02:12.0
It is critical in securing our nation,
02:15.3
and we are in crunch time with our 702 authority set to expire next week.
02:22.2
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
02:27.9
but now, increasingly concerning
02:30.3
is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland
02:34.9
akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia concert hall
02:39.3
just a couple weeks ago.
02:42.0
We also need funding
02:44.3
to counter the threat from the People's Republic of China,
02:47.7
a government sparing no expense in its quest
02:51.9
to hack, lie, cheat, and steal its way to the top
02:56.2
as a global superpower,
02:57.9
and to undermine our democracy and our economic success.
03:02.8
The performance of some within your agency acting
03:06.8
and we have seen a substantial jump in threats
03:10.6
towards FBI personnel and facilities from fiscal year 22 to fiscal year 23.
03:16.5
In fact, we created a dedicated unit to try to deal with those issues.
03:21.3
Legislative reform proposals that are swirling around up in Congress right now.
03:26.4
I'll be honest with you,
03:27.8
and I'm not going to lie to you, but I'm not going to lie to you.
03:27.9
I'm not going to lie to you, but I'm not going to lie to you.
03:27.9
And this pains me to say this, but I don't trust you.
03:32.1
I don't think that this is necessarily a funding problem
03:35.0
that we have for your agency as much as a leadership problem.
