The most ideal and probably the one we are most likely to adopt is we take the Menendez-Kirk sanctions and we put them on a glide path all the way to zero.

If we want to go further and use the power of the state to take down information, I think it is incumbent on Congress to craft a new statute defining what the responsibilities of these Internet companies are.

So, I mean, these are folks who barely know enough not to hold a get-together with ham sandwiches and beer to discuss what Islam does not allow, okay?

We live in this world where, yes, if we see you with a gun or a bomb we know you are a threat but if you violate our clearest laws but you are white collar, we don't want to do anything.

I look forward to hearing from our witnesses on not only how we can be on defense and take down the bad stuff, but how we can be on offense and use social media and traditional media to get our message out.

I worry that, starting with the Joint Plan of Action, the United States has already agreed to a series of concessions.

Congress has agreed to nothing. No treaty has been submitted to this Congress for ratification.

Even if it is just weather reports from Mosul, if they are brought to you by ISIS, they shouldn't be on Twitter.

If these rich companies making a fortune can't lose a few percentage points on their profit to help us in the war on terrorism, there is something the matter with their souls.

If Iran wants a permanent agreement with the United States, let it agree to something good enough to gain ratification of the United States Senate as a treaty.

It is inaccurate, as some have said, to say that that plan has halted their program.

I think we have a co-decisionmaking responsibility and that is why I think we need our witnesses here to guide us in making those decisions.
