I think it is appropriate for the U.S. Government to be sanctioning people as hard as they can.

There has not been a single terrorist attack committed on U.S. soil by any national of any of the Muslim ban countries.

Well, the Iranians have one of the lowest rates of approval in the waiver process even when counselor officers say they should be allowed in.

Are we waiting for an Iranian partner, Iranian Government partner, to allow her to come to the United States? It's been over a year.

The notion that we can trust these other governments to work with us to vet people coming to the United States is obviously preposterous.

We don't like the government of Iran. It is an odious dictatorship.

We have not done nearly as well preventing attacks by people who have been radicalized by a neo-Nazi and White supremacist movement.

Barring law-abiding veterans from owning a weapon will not make our communities safer.

I have a bill, H.R. 3826, which would prohibit VA from sending veterans' names to the NICS list.

I urge the Members to support and cosponsor my bill, 3826.

In 2017, this bill passed the House with bipartisan support.

I do not believe that a classified briefing meets his responsibility to explain to the American people what we are doing here.

There is no cease-fire contemplated, no nationwide cease-fire contemplated by the agreement.

We are being that this is about bringing our troops home when in fact those troops are not coming home.

We will continue drone strikes but from a further distance, which means there will be more civilian casualties.

This does not really force the Taliban to break with terrorists.

What we are being sold here is not a potential peace agreement. What we are being sold here is a bedtime story to make us feel better about leaving Afghanistan.

Their aim is power in Afghanistan, which they are not willing to share with the Afghan government as they have told us many times.

What we are looking for is a sustainable solution, a sustainable peace in Afghanistan.

Your job is to be sitting in there, arguing, often as the lonely voice in the Federal Government, for people.

But I was really struck. You are with the EPA. You are in charge of clean water. Why wasn't the first principle protecting the health and safety of the American people?

Would you agree that it is important to get those numbers down?

I hope we quickly pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.

It is time to pass this legislation in Congress. We have wide agreement for passage of this bipartisan and bicameral legislation.

I join now in Representative McGovern's call to quickly pass the PROTECT Hong Kong Act, which would end sales of such equipment to the Hong Kong Police.
