00:00Listen, as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, I care very much about what's most important for our national security.
00:08And the president held a nationwide competition to determine where we should have this command.
00:15If you all remember at the end of that competition where Alabama came in first,
00:19there was a lot of complaints from the other states who did not place well.
00:23He said, we'll do it over with new criteria to accommodate your concerns.
00:27Alabama came in first in that second competition.
00:31His secretary of the Air Force reviewed the results, said it was fair, and the president named Huntsville.
00:37It was the Biden administration that decided to make it political,
00:42even though his own secretary of the Air Force said it was a fair competition and it should be in Huntsville.
00:48So I want you to know I appreciate this president standing up and being strong and saying he's going to make this right
00:53and put it where it rightfully belongs, and that's Huntsville, Alabama.
00:55Thank you very much. Good job.
