the worst-case scenario that we are talking about is we have made some veterans happy with service dogs as companions.

I think we all agree that veteran suicides are a major problem. We need to do everything we can to prevent them.

Veterans cannot wait until 2018 for the VA to introduce the low-cost, low-risk, and high-reward treatment option.

I have had multiple veterans come up to me and tell me that they would have probably committed suicide but for being paired with a service dog.

I think that if they are actually facilitating payments to families of terrorists who are killing Israelis, then we should be deducting the amount of money, at a minimum.

I think that they are really a problem aspect of all this. President Sisi, you know, he views the Brotherhood as a major threat to security in Egypt.

Isn't our functional policy basically catch-and-release at this point?

So do you think if we moved away from some of these loopholes, moved away from a more catch-and-release posture, obviously, people that would come could be apprehended, but then wouldn't that be a deterrent for other people to realize that…

We have received reports from Border Patrol agents that sectors and offices reporting lower apprehension numbers are often rewarded.

I think it will allow innovation to really take hold.

Let's repeal the mandate. But here is the thing. Let's repeal all of these energy mandates.

So my question is why won't the administration honor Congress' enactment.

Congress recently passed a trade authority bill that, among other provisions, instructed our trade negotiators to oppose any boycotts of Israel including persons doing business in Israel or in Israel-controlled territories.

I think the worry is is that the certification has not been made so that would prohibit funds directly.

This policy is frustrating because you have a country and a regime that has been hostile to us since its inception at the revolution.

I think that they're just gonna keep doing this and try to pocket concessions. So I think that this has been a mistake in approach.

The bottom line is this is a major change in policy. We've seen the Cuban regime benefit.

I think it's something that's very frustrating to see, you know, the Cuban Government seizing all this property.

For us not to get even one claim paid before we've gone down this road, I obviously think it's bad policy.

The United States faces clear and present dangers from Islamic jihadists both at home and abroad.

Well, I think that the testimony alluded to--so under the administration's action with respect to the visa waiver changes that were enacted by Congress, they would allow somebody who is a national of, say, Iran and a European country who…

So my question is is why not err on the side of caution? And if you require someone to get a visa, how does that fact damage our national security?

The whole idea is, you know, you have someone like Tashfeen Malik. You know, she didn't pop on those databases.

I think that there is--I mean, we need the data, I agree, but there are a lot more questions that haven't been answered.

The State Department considers the government of Iran to be a state sponsor of terrorism.
