We need to protect our troops. We need to expand the perimeter that’s necessary to protect them.

This has been happening for 20 years. We have been fighting this war for 20 years, day in, day out.

It's not enough time to get those Afghan allies who helped the U.S. out in time.

What we need to do is be singularly focused on the mission of getting folks out, we have the ability to do it.

We have to make the commitment to do that. And I don't think we set a calendar deadline.

I fought them during both my combat tours in Afghanistan as an Army Ranger. They obviously are extremely brutal, immoral group of folks.

I think we say what we're going to do.

We have an obligation, a moral one. We have a national security obligation.

That's why these arbitrary deadlines of August 31st, I don't believe in that. I think we should say we will do this until it's done.

We will debate the politics and policy of this for years to come.

We now have an obligation to conduct a broad and expeditious evacuation to get many of those folks out into safety, because they have come to rely on us for that.

I did agree with the Biden administration’s and President Biden’s decision to leave, because, after 20 years, and hundreds of billions of dollars, building a 300,000-strong military in Afghanistan, if that military can’t last 60 days, then…

I have always disagreed with the so-called deal with the Taliban, because you can’t deal with the Taliban. You just can’t. They’re never coming to it with good faith.

It's blaming of the victim. You know, we have a real big problem with stigma and mental health in America writ large, not just with respect to officers post January 6.

We have to make sure we're getting these officers help. And we're not sweeping this under the rug that we continue to have try to find truth and accountability to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

Cyber attacks are one of the biggest threats to our economy and small businesses.

Our small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but are increasingly the target of cyber attacks and theft of data and intellectual property.

When President Biden took office 6 months ago, the economy was just fluttering along, adding only 60,000 jobs per month.

We believe that if you are a huge corporation, that you should pay for some taxes.

We believe in fiscal prudence, we believe in being able to pay for what you spend.

So you have to look at really the vast majority of where those workers are, which is in energy efficiency.

I think it starts with the community--reaching out to the community, learning what that community needs.

People that continue to perpetuate the 'Big Lie' that continue to try to recast the events of that day, and sweep it under the rug, continue to bear responsibility.

Here's the truth. January 6 was an insurrection against our democracy.

I asked about the MIRA Act, my Military Installation Resiliency Assuredness Act, which was included in the fiscal year 2020 NDAA.
