Ted Deutch

It seems to me there is just not a response to the very real concern that I think critics and supporters of the deal acknowledge, that money flowing to this regime, some portion of it is going to go to Hezbollah and Hamas and other…

Let us be clear. The entire premise of today's hearing is based on viral videos that have been dissected, debunked, and discredited.

In the short term there will be more ability, a greater ability for Iran to destabilize, and there will be more violence.

I agree with you that it is time for them to come home.

I would just point out it is specifically omitted in the list of past and present concerns. It is not a requirement.

I only have a few seconds left. And I would just ask for some acknowledgement that when we say that Iran is engaged in all these terrible activities now and it doesn't cost much money, I would suggest that it has been reported that $200…

The government should pay heed to the discourse and act in the best interests of the Tunisian people and the stability of the state.

The goal of diplomacy is to reach a peaceful solution so as to avoid the use of military force.

Expanding the use of ATDs from 23,000 in 2014 to 53,000 in 2016 is the morally respectable and the fiscally responsible thing to do.

Tunisia has been hailed as the success story of the Arab Spring.

I commend the people of Tunisia for not letting the recent terror attacks disrupt their progress toward democracy, and for their commitment to this transition that they began in 2010 and have paid a very high price for.

Achieving success and political reforms, which includes receiving popular legitimacy, must go hand in hand with improving the people's economic opportunities.

How we treat them, Mr. Secretary, colors the reputation of the United States on the international stage.

These families are fleeing violent criminals, drug dealers, and rapists.

On rollcall No. 426, had I been present, I would have voted ``no''.

There has been--there is no doubt that there have been growing pains in our relations with the GCC in recent years, and there has been frustrations on both sides.

Representative Deutch, you mentioned U.S. campuses in Doha, for instance.

We should be renewing our commitment to the Middle East and our GCC allies and combating Iranian aggression, not pulling back from this critical region of the world.

I think that, perhaps, has not been part of the discussion as much as it should have.

one of the big--the biggest issues is what sanctions relief would mean to Iran, what they would do with the $150 billion that they would then have access to.

I want to see these relationships stabilize and strengthen both on a bilateral and a multilateral basis.

it would be folly to say that they are not going to get any of the money.

My question is, is it realistic to believe that if they have access to $150 billion, that given this regime, some significant amount of money would go to fund terrorists, and that some significant amount of money would go to wreak havoc in…

If our sensibilities are shocked by what we've heard today and what we've seen in these videos, then there is just no question that there is an obligation to respond in some way.

The ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran is a prime example of the effect sanctions can have, although I would respectfully note that the purpose of sanctions is to change behavior, not simply to come to a negotiation.
