I would. Listen. I've said all along this was madness. It was madness to follow Ted Cruz.

It makes absolutely no sense. I mean, you know, the game is over. We have to get this done.

The fact is we have not been successfully attacked since September 11.

There is also a cost to what you are asking for, and I think that cost would be a lot greater.

If I had the choice between dealing with the Israelis and al-Qaeda, I would work with Israel.

We would have more dead Americans if we didn't stand by our allies in the Middle East.

I believe it is essential that the United States for our security continue to support Israel.

Right. Also during his testimony, another analysis we did, as you suggested there were people in the community who were facilitating the travel to Somalia.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Also let me thank the witnesses for their testimony here today.

If we stop supporting Israel, then the message would be America was cowardly, America has backed away.

We are winning and we will continue to win unless we take the advice of people like you.

I think it will. I think we're going to be here all night. Hopefully we can get it opened tomorrow morning.

The government should not be allowed to shut down at all.

We cannot go down this path of attempting to shut down the government over an issue where we lost.

Yes, we will be blamed.

If he can, you know, negotiate with Putin and he's certainly going to be able to sit down with John Boehner.

Now to me this is like the Charge of the Light Brigade or it's like Gallipoli, or Kamikaze pilot.

Because he is selling a strategy which he knows cannot work. He knows it's doomed to failure.

Ted Cruz is a fraud and may no longer have any influence in the Republican Party.

We can't let the government be shut down. We can't become General Custer.

I strongly urge an extension of the program.

I strongly support a clean extension of the TRIA program.

We cannot expect the private market to ensure against failures in U.S. counterterrorism without the government taking on some responsibility for the failure.

It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to ensure the security of its citizens.

In a post-9/11 world, we need the TRIA program more than ever.
