We should be ashamed at such developments, especially when one considers the important U.S. role in elevating that right's international legal recognition since 1948.

Crucifixions, beheadings in 2015 should not be the way in which the civilized world operates.

I think it plays a key role that we now have, again, another Ambassador. Rabbi Saperstein has been a friend of mine for a long time.

As I speak, people are being crucified. People are being burned alive. They are being beheaded.

If they don't, there needs to be a penalty for that, and that penalty needs to be that they don't get U.S. dollars if they are knowingly, willfully, and consciously violating religious liberty and religious rights.

Aren't you overwhelmed? I mean, this problem is getting worse, not better.

I have never seen more organizations with the capability, manpower, weapons, and will, radical Islamic organizations ready to attack us here at home, than I have any time before 9/11.

They see on television things that they cannot believe exist in 2015. This is not 1015; this is 2015.

Thousands of years of art being smashed with a sledgehammer. Women being raped and sold into captivity.

America needs to understand, in my view, that this is a generational struggle, that we will have troops forward deployed for the rest of my life and beyond, to keep this problem from getting back here.

As these atrocities increase, as religious persecution runs rampant, as genocide is on display, we and most of the free world are beginning to reduce our military capabilities to historic lows.

If the Army continues to have to implement sequestration numbers, the Army is going to be much smaller

The last thing you want to do right now with the Russians is break a treaty with them over reducing the amount of weapons-grade plutonium they possess.

If we do not, we are making a huge mistake.

You do not want to bail out on the Russians. You do not want to bail out on South Carolina.

I want somebody from the Pentagon to tell me what you recommend if they did this provocative act.

What kind of signal would that send to NATO nations if we fully implement sequestration?

And would you agree with me, if he takes that option, that is just an--basically, an all-out declaration of war through economic activity?

I think Mr. Putin is not done in Ukraine.

Should we increase sanctions if they do this?

So, if you were the separatists or Putin, and you really wanted to punish the government in Kiev, that would be a move you would make.

Moldova may be next.

The more we reduce our forces, the less deterrent--it may go up a 7.

So, they--should be some red line regarding this port city?

So, one way to bleed Kiev dry is to keep the fight, keep them deployed.
