John McCain

This hearing is about the range of cybersecurity challenges confronting our Nation, threats from countries like Russia, China, and North Korea and Iran.

It is a special privilege to serve on this committee, most of all because it affords us the opportunity to spend so much time in the company of heroes.

I'm not confident about that at all. I have no way of knowing that.

I hope he trusts the intelligence community. While they may not get everything right, and this specific instance, they should -- he should listen to them because they are not wrong.

The name Mr. Assange has popped up, and I believe that he is one who's responsible for publishing names of individuals that work for us that put their lives in direct danger. Is that correct?

This is really a person who has put the lives of Americans in danger. He cannot be trusted for anything.

Our values are our strength and our greatest treasure.

In the real world, as lived and experienced by real people, the demand for human rights and dignity, the longing for liberty and justice and opportunity, the hatred of oppression and corruption and cruelty is reality. By denying this…

General Campbell, as you look at Helmand, Kandahar, Nuristan, and Kunar, what is your definition of success in those areas at the beginning of 2017?

Cyber is warfare. Cyber is an attempt to destroy a democracy. That is what Mr. Putin is all about.

But on the issue of the Russians, there is no doubt about it. And we have to act and we have to have a policy, which this administration does not have, and address this threat to our national security.

Anybody who's a friend of Vladimir Putin must disregard the fact that Vladimir Putin is a murderer, a thug, a KGB agent.

I have, obviously, concerns of reports of his relationship with Vladimir Putin, who is a thug and a murderer.

Today--today--President Obama will deliver a speech in Florida touting his counterterrorism successes.

Radical Islamist terrorism continues to pose a challenging threat to our security at home and our interests abroad.

Rogue states like North Korea and Iran are undermining regional stability while developing advanced military capabilities that threaten the United States and our allies.

Great power competition, once thought a casualty of the End of History, has returned as Russia and China have each challenged the rules-based order that is the foundation of our security and prosperity.

Our next President will take office as the United States confronts the most diverse and complex array of global security challenges since the end of the second World War.

Senator John McCain told around Dana Bash today, he believes this will be a difficult road here and they will need Democratic votes on that.

Neither of the LCS variant is expected to be survivable in high intensity combat.

If nobody ever gets fired, nothing is going to change.

We are only as good as the information we receive as that the LCS would cost $220 million dollars per ship.

This idea of a block buy before it is a mature system is absolutely insane.

I am glad we have learned at the cost to the taxpayers of tens of millions of dollars.

We may be better going forward. But, Admiral, we are going to start holding people accountable.
