Congress has failed to show leadership when it comes to funding the Pentagon, and I agree with you on that comment.

You don't think Putin doesn't love the fact that--what he wants to do is to make the West weaker.

Our country is the greatest country in the world.

I am concerned that this pullback is going to allow Russia or China--basically, Russia, our enemy, is going to allow them to step in.

I am asking our leadership and each and every one of us on this committee to really sit down and work a strategy, Republican and Democratic strategy.

I think this is something that has to be focused on and very quickly.

Let's pull together this committee. We know each other, and we trust each other.

Let's just get it done. I am an Under Armour guy because of Baltimore, but there is the Nike phrase, 'Just Do It.'

And my question was going to be, and you have already repeated it: Do you agree with what I said that we need to repeal sequestration?

As dangerous as we are and when every single Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine talks about sequestration, and, yet, we have not repealed this at these very, very dangerous times.

If we don't start dealing with some of these issues, we will be weaker than they are.
