It is time to draw a line and just say, 'We are not putting up with this anymore,' and put the pressure on Qatar and Turkey and just say, 'We are not going to help you work against us.'

If we have been playing this game for--I don't want to call it a game. If we have been--our foreign policy, which I think is way off track, it is askew, it is a broken compass, because we don't have strong national leadership directing…

Hamas' strategy is to create as many civilian casualties as possible.

I mean, these things just don't seem like common sense.

Because we hear all the time you can't fire a government employee. And certainly--I was on Foreign Affairs when Ms. Clinton said you can't fire anybody in the government.

The reason I bring that up is there is a case right now where we have a guy--they went after the contractor.

I get the same feedback from the producers in our area, that the Department of Labor treats our producers like they are guilty and needed to be proven innocent.

There has almost been like a rabid response--I have been around agriculture since I was 16 years of age, and we have seen just a ramp-up in the amount of investigations with this Administration.

We cannot have it both ways. Either we are for democracy or we are not, and we need to have clarity about that in this body.

A democracy, as Ben Franklin pointed out, is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for lunch. The sheep always loses.

I think we are seeing maybe the true nature of what the people in charge actually believe. They don't believe in a democracy.

I think we need to kind of refocus and do a paradigm shift on how we handle our foreign aid.

I would like to see us do more of that instead of trying to tell them how to run their country.

The only place I want our military's boots on the ground is in the United States of America.

Our credibility is gone. They don't know what we stand for.

They now view the United States as not as resolved as it was in the past.

I mean, we all see it. We see it coming.

I mean, are we going to prevent them from ever having a nuclear weapon?

Sitting in this room right here we have had meeting after meeting after meeting that says Iran is going to get a nuclear weapon.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, gentlemen, for being here.

I thank the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. Chairman, we, again, as people in government that represent our constituents, we should do everything in our power to make America stronger, more economically sound, and more competitive across the…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Weber of Texas). The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made…

I understand that, and I appreciate that the chairman's concern is the broad nature of the amendment. Still, my hope is to work with Chairman Simpson and Chairman Upton to find a solution to this problem. I cannot and shall not sit idly…

What trade barriers have you seen with other countries with our GMOs?

I can just see them, I don't like this product, it is bad for you, but man, if I can save 25 percent, we are going to consume it.
