Suspending military exercises to send a signal to North Korea that we're going to give you the space to make a good decision about ending this conflict, it's OK with me.

I think President Trump is willing to do that as a last resort and I hope we never get to that day.

President Trump feels the need to try everything he can so we can abort a war that nobody wants but would maybe necessary to stop a threat to the homeland.

The president has taken that approach off. He's in the denial mode. I'm going to deny him the capability to hit America with a nuclear-tipped missile.

No. I mean, you know, this is the third time they promised to give up nuclear weapons.

He believes that Kim Jong-un is going to take a deal to give up his nuclear weapons if we can convince him his regime is secure and his people are more prosperous.

It has to come to an end.

I appreciate being recognized. I am going to talk about a budget proposal by my colleague from Kentucky, Senator Paul. To those who want to balance our budget and get us out of debt, count me in. How do we do that? I would like to do it…

I haven't seen any evidence of collusion.

That's not Vice President Pence's decision to make.

Ms. Sadler, may I remind you that John McCain has a lot of friends in the United States Senate on both sides of the aisle. Nobody is laughing in the Senate.

I know you're aware of a recent dustup with Cambridge Analytica, but a terrorist organization using social media to recruit terrorism in our own backyard, would you support Congress weighing in and trying to find some control over this?

I intend to give them one. But, they cut off the heads of an--of American citizens and our allies.

I think you're doing a very good job for the country, and many of us up here have your back.

Senator Feinstein--are very worried that this bizarre interpretation of the Wire Act by the Obama administration is going to lead to holy hell ungoverned spaces when it comes to Internet gambling.

As to the budget, it's a 6-percent reduction over fiscal year 2018 levels. Do you think now is the time to reduce the Department of Justice's budget, given the threats we face?

Do you think we're ever going to use it in my lifetime?

There's definitely many that prefer to do that, and desire to do that.

We've got to hold it. From your point of view, the threat streams that you're aware of, are they growing regarding radical Islam threat toward the homeland?

To hold Syria, somebody has to get in on the ground and make sure the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) doesn't come back, do you agree with that?

I have been told there are more displaced people than any time since World War II.

The 2019 budget proposal from the administration will not make it. We are going to kill it and replace it with something that makes more sense.

General Mattis said it better than anybody: if you cut the State Department's operational budget you need to buy me more ammo.

I reject the whole attitude that is being displayed about developmental assistance.

So to make sure that ISIS doesn't come back in the area that they used to occupy you are going to need not only security, you are going to need a police force and army, right?
