Once again, I want to thank Lieutenant Governor Patrick, Speaker Burroughs, as well as the sponsors for these bills today, Senators Kolkhorst and Hughes, Representatives Hefner, Orr, and Jenny Lopez. Foreign adversaries can no longer buy land in the direction of now Speaker Burroughs. Government's core function is to protect and defend its citizens and its sovereignty. It has always been the case. That is one of the most important functions. (15:31–15:46)
