I am deeply concerned about your lack of support for our military, about your continued votes of withdrawals from Europe when we see a world on fire.

I obviously have seen no evidence of illegally voting but my focus has been on national security, getting General Mattis in as Secretary of Defense, working with Pompeo, working -- doing those issues in our national security.

Of course. Of course. I mean, does anybody believe now that Bashar Assad is going to willingly lead power?

As President Trump assumes the awesome responsibilities of his office, he has inherited a world on fire and a U.S. military weakened by years of senseless budget cuts.

I would be deeply disturbed if such a thing were happened. Let me just give you an example. They have been bombing and striking the moderate opposition people that we armed and trained, meanwhile ISIS retakes Palmyra and they don't do…

Chairman McCain himself has called these overruns absolutely outrageous.

I do not believe that most observers would agree that America is 21 percent safer.

I believe that the President, you know, paid close attention. His trip out to the CIA, I think, was symbolic in a lot of ways of his confidence in the CIA and the intelligence agencies.

I was appalled when the Defense Business Board recommended making $125 billion in cuts over 5 years.

Do not take it from other things that make this country strong.

I would also remind you that the first thing--the first thing--that President Reagan--his first priority was rebuilding the military.

Congress should be leading on finding savings, not just adding dollars to our defense budget.
