They need to know that there are things we will not accept, and their existence is at stake.

I think North Korea needs to know that we may not be the best of all times in creating a new government, but we are pretty good at taking one down.

Ultimately, we have to use these powerful weapons--hopefully not these--but powerful military force to defend the interests of the United States and the world.

I believe we could get there. I believe we can achieve a policy that defends the legitimate interests of the United States in bipartisan way.

There's just going to be a lot of violence for a long time.

You're, I believe, the right person at a very challenging time, here in the middle of some decisions that have to be made by the United States sooner rather than later.

We do need, and can maybe even agree upon, a strategy that could be bipartisan.

I think you cannot make foolish decisions and incur more cost than is reasonably necessary in this project.

Senator McCain and this committee is going to give vigorous oversight to that.

Over the last 20-30 years, we are the slowest nuclear power in the world to modernize and recapitalize our nuclear weapons system.

I think it is important for us... to send a message to the entire world that we are not so shaken by the concept of nuclear weapons.

The fiscal year 2017 MDA budget request is $300 million below what the President anticipated last year in the 2016 5-year budget.

The deal was, Senator Sullivan, that North Korea proposed a threat, and we decided to accelerate the process to actually get these things in the ground.

It is problematic that there is no money in the whole five-year plan.

It goes beyond even money. It goes beyond how do you have a right to demand that we defend Europe when Russia is not on our border?

It would please me if Alabama came home.

We wish that things were continuing to go down, like we hoped and saw for quite a number of years.

If I were running the world, I'd say, 'I want to build bombs, and I don't want to build buildings.'

We've done--we were--have been the only nation that hasn't been advancing our systems.

General Klotz, a modernized weapon would be more effective, more secure and safe.

We just have to understand that.

I just really feel like that.
