I wish to join with Senator McCain very quickly. At 71 to 27, on September 21 of last year, we voted to approve tank sales to Saudi Arabia because they need more weapons and equipment to counter the Iranian aggression in Yemen and other…

I take the floor to strenuously argue against the proposition being pushed by Senators Paul, Murphy, and others to deny arms sales of about $500 million to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The package they are trying to exclude from the $110…

We would have a lot of Benghazis in the making if we actually implemented the State Department cuts.

General Obama was a pretty lousy general. He withdrew all of our forces against sound military advice in Iraq.

I am glad that Trump is smart enough to understand that you know more than he does, and he is empowering use to make us safe.

So Congress can fix this, if we choose. Do you agree?

If we implemented this budget, we have to retreat from the world and put a lot of people at risk.

I would like to congratulate the President for having the vision and, quite frankly, good judgment to allow Secretary Mattis, in consultation with a very good military leadership team, to set the troop levels.

It just doesn't work for us to walk away from our global responsibility and then to hurt those who are accepting much more than others.

I don't understand reducing soft power by 29 percent, but we'll work through this, Mr. Secretary.

I am proud of President George W. Bush 43, who came up with a program called the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

America intends to maintain our preeminent leadership position in the world.

Human rights exist above the state and beyond history. They cannot be rescinded by one government any more than they can be granted by another.

What we're saying when we talk about making America great, we're stepping aside, we're letting other countries fill the vacuum, and making the United States less great.

I am embarrassed at the policy of this country now when it comes to accepting refugees in the world.

To view foreign policy as simply transactional is more dangerous than its proponents realize.

We can't be Fortress America.

Threat-based budgeting is the way to go, you're dead right.

Defeating ISIS permanently has to have a hold-and-build strategy.

They're fighting and dying with you in Afghanistan without caveats.

It's unacceptable for me.

Now is not the time to retreat.

Congress has historically acted as the validator of worthwhile presidential initiatives--such as PEPFAR and Feed the Future--and a check on ill-considered cuts.

I like the way you represent our country. You have a style that's pretty good for the world as it is today.

The President said the Iranian nuclear agreement is terrible, and he wants to replace it.
