I think from a security perspective it makes sense.

Well, obviously, that should have been a part of these negotiations from the beginning, and that was put aside at the very, very outset. And I think it was a huge mistake.

I guess as we go forward, I think it is good to have as many people on the same page as possible, but how do we get them to be more in line with the American perspective, the Israeli perspective, the Middle East perspective of people that…

I think it is pretty clear, after living under this deal, that if we continue on this course with Iran, 5 or 10 years down the road we are going to be in the same place that we are with North Korea right now...

It would be terrific if this passed and there was more funding appropriated immediately for that, for genocide victims.

I mean, if we're not going to enforce this stuff, then why are we even passing it?

The U.S. Government promotes religious freedom because countries that effectively safeguard this human right are more stable, economically vibrant, and peaceful.

The right to practice your religion freely is one of the cornerstone freedoms we have in our country.

We just can't let this happen and not do anything.

Cuba is a totalitarian country. There is not much that goes on on that island that the government doesn't know about.

In May, when the President signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act...

Well, I think that is well put, and if we could deal with that core, the free-speech stuff and a whole host of other problems would go.

Expressing concern and condemnation over the political, economic, social, and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.

If the U.S. Government did that and that preventing money from flowing to some of the domestic groups, do you think that that would help neuter some of the economic fuel for the extremist ideology?

I think that is true, but I just--is this a good use of tax funds for this particular group?

But, I guess--I mean, the fact that this group got dropped is probably an indication that it had not been having a lot of success, correct?

The United States is experiencing a, quote, "unprecedented spike in homegrown terrorism."

We did not get everybody back and we need to do that. This is a maniacal regime. They are fomenting all kinds of problems all across the Middle East.

I think the witnesses have been really good so thank you, guys. And we should debate this.

I think it could be done. I think it would be actually one of the few times we actually have an insightful debate on the House floor for a change.

The criticism that is sometimes lodged is oh, you guys are doing authorization of force--you haven't declared war--somehow that is an illegitimate use of force.

I think if you use it, then I think that a lot of the countries are going to change their ways.

So you think the American taxpayer has a right to expect changes at the U.N.

What is your understanding about the role that your predecessor played in facilitating that?

I think that we, you know, hit the terrorists, kind of Whac-A-Mole, which is good--you got to take them out.
