We are living in incredibly dangerous times with multiple conflicts around the globe which threaten to upend the balance of power.

Let me be clear, aggression against the Philippines is aggression against the United States of America.

We need to reaffirm our ties with the Philippines. They have been generous to allow us to utilize the Philippines for purposes of force protection.

I recognize that the most important thing is to get the Ukrainians all of the military support that they need to prevail over Putin.

So, we all need to be working together, Republican and Democrat.

And, sadly, the Director of the FBI has said indeed that our country is at risk.

And, I am really hopeful that we can continue that.

And, it's just so critical that we indeed address all four.

And, I want to commend you, I join with you and Congresswoman Schneider--Congressman Schneider on Saturday, a joint letter urging the funding of the war, which we did not choose, the dictators with a gun opposing democracy's rule of law…

It's very sad, the human suffering imposed by the dictator, Maduro, in Venezuela.

Weakness only invites aggression.

Diplomacy should always be the first recourse.

The world is on fire.

The Homeland Security on October 27th, just a few days ago, provided me with an update.

It is inconceivable to me.

I too want to say to the U.S. members of the Jewish community, we will fight antisemitism with our last breath.

We've got to secure our Southwest Border if we want to protect America.

We've also heard today from Ms. Alinejad that Tehran continues to target current and former U.S. Government officials, dissidents, journalists right here in our country, and this is unacceptable.

Weakness is like slap--it's provocation. It's like slapping your enemy in the face.

Facts matter. I hope we understand that, while we all have our magic 5 minutes, we are obligated to come with the truth.

What happened on January 6 was a travesty to this country.

We must also be mindful to condemn antisemitism and Islamophobia here at home.

I believe that we have to invest.

What we need to see from the administration is the application of pressure to the regime to impose costs on them to reestablish deterrence.

I find it very concerning that recent reports suggest a former Biden administration official, Robert Malley, used the State Department to funnel billions of dollars to Iran.
