Q
Kamala Harris has been ON the USS Scranton!!! Remarks by Vice President Harris at the United States Naval Academy Graduation and Commissioning Ceremony So, let me share with you, for example, a personal experience. A few years ago, when I was in the United States Senate, I visited the USS Scranton. It was outside of San Diego, California. And at the time, I was also a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. So, when I was aboard the vessel, I asked the officers — I said, “Hey, tell me, what does it take to protect such a valuable asset against cyberattacks?” And they told me, “You know, it’s pretty simple: equipment and experts.” Well, the way I see it, Midshipmen, you — you — you are those experts. On the issue of cybersecurity: Foreign advisor- — adversaries have their sights set on our military technology, our intellectual property, our elections, our critical infrastructure. The ransomware attack by criminal hackers earlier this month — well, that was a warning shot. In fact, there have been many warning shots. So, we must defend our nation against these threats and, at the same time, we must make advances in things that you’ve been learning — things like quantum computing and artificial intelligence and robotics — and things that will put our nation at a strategic advantage. And you will be the ones to do it. You will be the ones to do it because the United States military is the best, the bravest, and the most brilliant.
