I believe this is a simple case that could be easily rectified, and I am confident--I am almost confident that it will be. I trust that common sense will prevail and the well-being of our students will be put above minor technical issues…

We are seeing warfare change before our eyes.

We cannot defend ourselves. We cannot install defenses that are so expensive that they far outweigh the risk.

It seems to me this is a place for American ingenuity and inventiveness and creativity to market for somebody.

I say to the Senator from Virginia, 48 years ago this summer I joined the national legal services program and went to the State of Maine, where I served people in a very rural area with a whole range of problems. What I came to realize…

The larger of the two was attended by over 1,400 people, the vast majority of whom spoke in support of the National Monument.

Anytime he makes a move, in fact at the beginning of this session, he talked about, you know, 'We're going to try to work with the president when it's necessary and when we believe he's right.' Huge reaction from the Democratic base.

I don't think it's the personalities of the leaders, but I think you're onto something in the sense that the pressures on the leaders to be partisans first is very intense.

I was disappointed in the president's speech last night because he's still in campaign mode, talking strictly to his people.

I think what you learn is to listen. And I think, I remember-- You know, everybody thought Hillary was going to win in the day before. And I remember saying, 'If and when she wins, she's got to do some serious listening to the people who…

today I wish to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Lewiston-Auburn, ME. There are over 35,000 Rotary Clubs worldwide, with the LA Rotary being the 291st. Since 1917, the LA Rotary has demonstrated a commitment to…

I still remain somewhat concerned that you end up with a trove of data that involves American citizens, that can then be queried without further intervention by the court, which to me is the essence of the Fourth Amendment.

One of the things that really concerns me about the situation that we are in now, which is one of the most dangerous I can remember in my adult life, is accidental escalation, misperception.

During our debate on the JCPOA, the intelligence community informed us that an all-out strike on the nuclear capacity of Iran would delay their program 2 years.

That is when wars start, is misunderstanding, misperception of each side's moves.

I think we all need to study the Thucydides Trap with regard to China.

The real nightmare is nonstate actors obtaining nuclear weapons for whom deterrence would not work.

What we are talking about is finding those places, not the entire grid, but finding places where simplicity, and perhaps even old technology, could be an isolating factor.

this country has no strategy or doctrine around cyber attacks; isn't that correct?

I think this is something that our committee in its report is going to have to look at.

we need to develop a deterrence 2.0 to deal with the nature of the threats.

I think it's very important, though, that we realize that he is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, because it means that everybody on this dais and everybody in political life in America regardless of their party is at risk.

But they weren't going into those State election systems just for recreation. There was some purpose.
