Had we not done so, yes, Libya would still be a dictatorship but wouldn't have radical Islamists selling young girls into slavery.

But we'll be watching.

Is this lack of progress due to being stymied by scientific obstacles that we can't seem to get past, or is this a result of regulation and bureaucracy?

We've spent billions of dollars supposedly on research.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for your leadership over the years on this and other issues.

We should get away from that and we should be going onto this next generation.

What we are interested in making sure is that the money that we are spending on research actually is not done for the sake of research but instead is done to make sure we're doing things that improve the life of the people on this planet.

There could be an asteroid or a near-Earth object that could come and wipe out half the world if not the entire planet.

there's no reason in the world why, if a private company can do something to make a profit at it, that we should take our limited budget for NASA and spend it on something that could be done and made a profit on in the private sector.

This is a product of a couple of Senators who are bullheaded and a couple of Senators who are basically watching out for their own little domain rather than what's good overall for the country.

if we can just give these young people a world in which their opportunities are present, but by not doing things about debris or a possible threat from an asteroid, we're doing a great disservice to the next generation.

But we know that with the expenditure of the kind of money that we've spent on fusion energy, we could have developed fission energy alternatives that are for sure not just computer models but are for sure.

I think the American people deserve us to go for a for-sure outcome of electricity that we could spend the same amount of money on rather than something that could work because the computer models tell us so.

I would love to believe in the dream of fusion energy. I'd love to believe that.

If there is a roadblock to peace, let's focus on trying to pressure the Palestinians instead of trying to pressure Israel.

We are recognizing Jerusalem for the first time as the capital of Israel.

I think the administration is doing well in projecting those policies that will bring peace rather than the 8 years we have had that have brought chaos and a rise of power of radical Islam.

Unless we do, we are not going to bring peace any closer, either for the Palestinians or the Israelis.

What have they given up? Nothing. And we are supposed to put pressure on Israel and blame them when they have given up nothing and Israel has given up all of this?

It is easy to see that we live in a different world than I grew up in.

I also find it absolutely unforgivable that another member would use limited time to interfere with a member's right to ask a very pertinent question.

The most important issue that came out of this whole, how do you say--this episode in American democracy was that the Russians had hacked into our systems and interfered with our election.

They are not a legitimate government and should not be treated as a legitimate government but instead, a pariah.

So the public had this information they wouldn't have otherwise had.

We see the Taliban emerging in Karachi. You can guess who's really behind it.
