I think moving the Secret Service to DHS is something that I've been thinking a lot about since these incidents have become more public.

The idea that the way to defeat a terrorist group is to align ourselves with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism is flatly unacceptable.

Iran has no constructive role in the fight against ISIS. They sponsor terrorism.

I was shocked when we received this report on the Judiciary Committee: Fiscal Year 2013, ICE released 36,700 convicted criminals who were in the country illegally rather than have them detained.

I guess the issue with me is our policies that are adopted particularly unilaterally now by the administration more and more.

His imprisonment is unjust, and the length of his detention is a national disgrace.

I mean, that may have been the initial pretext.

I think Libya really represents a catastrophic failure in policy.

Simply removing a dictator, no matter how unsavory that individual is, is not, in this part of this world, going to lead necessarily to anything better.

I think it creates a lot of unintended consequences.

The idea that somehow they just--they are fighting against occupation is what people will somehow say.

They built terrorist tunnels. They purchased rockets.

Hamas wants an Islamic caliphate, correct?

They raised and destroyed rather than use that.

It is just the Israeli policy that they are responding to fundamentally misunderstands the ideology that motivates them.

They had a chance to govern themselves. They chose to elect Hamas.

What did Hamas do? Did they try to turn it into a Singapore on the Mediterranean? No.

I am concerned, too, if you look at how the healthcare has worked.

Our tax system is so bad here that they actually can go incorporate overseas.

I would point out, before I recognize my friend from Pennsylvania, here we are in, say, February, March, saying you didn't know how many Lerner emails were out there; and, granted, you were not commissioner during this whole time, but we…

Historian Bernard Lewis... said that to people like Ali Khamenei and Ahmadinejad, mutually assured destruction is not a deterrent.

I think that we are running a very, very serious risk of walking into a bad deal here with the administration.

So is it an accurate statement to say that the White House performs worse than the agencies that comprise the Executive Branch in terms of the gender pay gap?

Well, I appreciate that, but at this point they are laggards, is it fair to say that?

Are you comfortable that high Federal officials are talking about this, are conducting themselves in this way? Is that good or not?
