Colombia has, I think, a grave concern.

The situation in Venezuela, which is rapidly deteriorating under the brutal Maduro dictatorship.

No, sir. It is a continuity of our nuclear deterrent framework that you see.

There is nothing classified about my question or your answer, though.

Sir, every day Russia is in a position basically to checkmate us with what they are doing. It is urgent.

We are actually executing on the nuclear modernization, on the research and development phase of that faster than we thought.

The Air Force's unfunded priorities list states that the ground-based strategic deterrent and long-range standoff weapon programs are both expected to run out of funding by the end of the year.

It is imperative that Congress act to eliminate those caps and the risk of sequestration.

Nothing has done more damage to the United States Air Force than budget uncertainty or sequester over the last decade.

They're not out of the woods with respect to Russian interference in their government.

So it is now acknowledged openly by the United States Government that Russia is in violation of the treaty.

It was informative, and I do think what Senator King says is a real option, similar to the Army's warrant program.

I do want to associate myself with the remarks of Senator Donnelly at the end of his remarks about the risks that cryptocurrencies are currently posing as a way for rogue Nations, terrorist organizations, criminal organizations to evade…

In the long term, military spending is essential for controlling our deficits and ultimately our national debt because it creates the international system in which our economy operates.

I think that is a good thing given that labor for many decades now, especially unskilled, low-skilled laborers, people who are getting out of high school and going straight into the work force or maybe not getting a high school degree have…

I just have to point out that we just increased the defense budget by $85 billion, though, in 1 year.

Yes, so what do you think about--I mean, I tend to admire Professor Borjas' work, and I think he has done a good job of correcting a lot of the record on somewhat--what I would consider less rigorous academic research.

The law of supply and demand is not repealed magically in the labor market, as some people in Congress seem to imply.

I think it is consistent with the rule of law and a well-functioning market-based economy.

Was it an irresponsible and rash decision of this Senate to vote in July, 90 to nothing, that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel?

Would it be a positive development for the Middle East for Iran to develop nuclear weapons in 8 to 13 years?

So you'll be unbiased towards WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, but you'll take down videos of people like Marsha Blackburn, a Republican running for the United States Senate?

Is it bias to side with America over our adversaries?
