How do you tell Iran that they can't have a nuclear weapon when the JCPOA is up, actually fairly soon, when, in fact, you have just given North Korea de facto access to a nuclear weapon?

If we are ruling out a credible military option, I think it is going to be unsuccessful ultimately.

You cannot do diplomacy with an adversary without a big stick to use, whether that is military, whether that is economic, whatever.

In order to actually achieve our objectives--and we have almost accepted defeat even prior to actually going about these objectives, in some circles.

I want to commend the President, frankly, for finally taking a tough perspective on North Korea; I think, being very open about this is the challenge of our generation.

I intend to work with my colleagues to ensure that we uphold our end of the bargain.

The incentive auction has proven to be a unique and innovative way to bring additional spectrum to the broadband market and additional revenues to the Federal Government.

No plan survives the first contact with the enemy.

It is really important.

I am also pleased to see the FCC Process Reform Act included in the bill that I cosponsored with Chairman Walden in the past few Congresses to improve transparency and fairness.

I am pleased to see the FCC reauthorization discussion draft includes provisions from legislation I introduced last Congress that would require the FCC to publish the draft of any item that is circulated on vote at the Commission.

Our job through the construct of the War Powers Act... is to give the President the authority to declare war on our end.

We are at war not with a nation but an idea

But I believe that when you put 535 Members of Congress into the Commander in Chief seat and you state you have an enemy--we have an enemy right now, which is terrorism.

I do support a new AUMF in the current construct where we are at, but I don't think there can be any time limit on it and there can be no limitation on what the President can do because that makes us Commander in Chief.

What Mr. Connolly was saying, I think it is essential to remember that I think when our Founders were writing the Constitution they understood that you cannot have 535 commanders in chief because we never agree with anybody.

I think, you know, when you make the case on Syria for instance, people often point to Libya as a disastrous result.

I actually believe that Assad is the reason ISIS exists, and he is the continued incubator for ISIS.

I think he needs to deliver that brick wall. I think he needs to talk about the Assad regime and begin to talk about, let's force a solution here that ends the violence that ends ISIS.

I think it's time for the House of Representatives to get -- pass this Russian sanctions bill that the Senate sent us.

I think this is a man that reacts to power. He reacts to strength.

I trust our intelligence agencies about this stuff. And they seem pretty convinced.

That's a tweet that's not even becoming of a city councilman.

You can't defeat an ideology with bombs and bullets. You can only defeat existing terrorists.

I want to thank you and the administration for putting what I think was an amazing red line down in the statement about a pending potential chemical weapons attack.
