So when General Hyten says this is a top priority for me, you are all on board for that.
I'm a strong supporter of investments in this area. They will pay dividends for the future, not only for our nuclear enterprise but for all of our scientific research.
We don't have to agree on everything to agree that nuclear proliferation is bad and that we want to work together to stop it
We need a very strong response to their interference in Ukraine, what they're doing in Syria, the attack on democratic electoral systems here in the United States and around the globe

Despite our differences, which are many, Russia and the United States both want to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
We owe it to the taxpayer, we owe it to our national security, to get these costs down to a place that we can get the full range of response that we need.

We need to end the Government conservatorship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and we need to do so in a way that protects taxpayers, establishes an explicit and paid-for Government guarantee, and provides more affordable housing options for…
For years--for years--people lost their homes because FHFA would not enforce the part of the bill that says give some relief to homeowners.
You said you would tackle principal reduction. I asked you about it repeatedly, but for 2 years after you were sworn in, you did not move an inch on this.
