Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned that the United States \u201ccan\u2019t afford\u201d to get into another conflict as China increases defense spending.<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville advised that with Democrats funding things for climate change and ignoring the military, there is not enough money to adequately fund the military.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden\u2019s budget was $25 to $30 to $40 billion less than we all wanted, and that is not just Republicans, Maria, that is Democrats also on the Armed Services Committee,\u201d Tuberville outlined. \u201cWe bumped it up $25 billion dollars, and we are still behind the spending of what China has. But it shows you the importance to Chuck Schumer where our military is at. We finished this thing in July. It should have been done a couple of months ago; even the Democrats on his side couldn\u2019t get him to bring it to the floor, but we have a problem. We have huge problems. China, Russia, Iran, and today I just saw on your show where China and Russia had a summit, Putin, Xi Jinping. You know, they weren\u2019t trading Christmas presents. They were talking about what is the best avenue for us to overcome the capitalist country of the United States of America? And so, we\u2019ve got to put our best foot forward here. We have got to get into&nbsp;hypersonics. We have got to get into high lasers because that\u2019s the thing that\u2019s going to function in our country to defend our country to defend our military, and we\u2019ve got to be better because China is way ahead of us in a lot of different things, and we\u2019ve got to show them that we\u2019re in the fight and we\u2019re going to fight along with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have the money,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe have overspent. We continue to overspend. They just jumped the debt limit up to $2.5 trillion. I promise you not going to military. They do not like the military.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tuberville later added, \u201cWe do not want into another conflict. We can\u2019t afford it. We don\u2019t want it. The American people don\u2019t want it, but we have to show strength now and not wait later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday on Fox Business Network\u2019s \u201cMornings with Maria,\u201d Sen.
