If an enemy or an adversary is capable of changing the outcome of an election, that's a blow at the fundamentals of that country's ability to govern, right?

I want to raise another important international law issue, and that's the meaning of sovereignty in cyber.

The United States will respond to cyber attacks. The question is not whether; the question will only be how.

It says we created this government, us, for the common defense of this nation, and we aren't doing that job.

I have yet to find any serious person who believes we have a strategic advantage over our adversaries in cyberspace.

The appearance of weakness has emboldened our adversaries, who believe they can attack the United States in cyberspace with impunity.

Treating every attack on a case-by-case basis, as we have done over the last eight years, has bred indecision and inaction.

This committee has not been shy about expressing its displeasure over the lack of policy and strategy for deterring, defending against, and responding to cyber attacks.

Threats to the United States in cyberspace continue to grow in scope and severity, but our nation remains woefully unprepared to address these threats.

We should start with a policy.

Well, the next time you do a travel ban, how about thinking it through? Thank you.

Corruption is very widespread, and much of that is due to the profits that come out of the drug use in the United States.

Right now there is a lot of anti-American sentiment in Mexico. If the election were tomorrow in Mexico, you would probably get a left-wing, anti-American President of Mexico.

We need to do one hell of a lot better job on this drug trafficking and human trafficking that is coming across our border.

And, it is killing people all over America, including some Governors in Northeastern and Midwestern States are saying it is an epidemic, particularly a group of Americans that I care about, and that is older white males.

You know what sets my hair on fire? The fact that we know that coming out of Raqqa are people that have been directed to come and get into the United States of America and commit acts of terror.

I think the majority of the Senate is not going to sign a blank check for a wall that we know is never going to be built.

The sooner the President gets some credibility on this, I think the better off we all are.

We are going to build a wall from sea to shining to sea and the Mexicans are going to pay for it--it is embarrassing.

When you lose $75 million airplane and more importantly American lives are lost -- a life is lost and wounded, I don't believe that you can call it a success.

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press, and without it, I'm afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

Lt. General H.R. McMaster is an outstanding choice for national security advisor. I have had the honor of knowing him for many years, and he is a man of genuine intellect, character, and ability. He knows how to succeed.

We are vulnerable to coercion then.

Make America great again.

This is not a pretty topic and a lot of people, particularly Americans, do not like to think about it
