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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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.
