If Putin were to succeed in Ukraine, it would only embolden our adversaries and undermine our national security interests.

To be clear, the war crimes and genocide committed by Russia cannot be reversed by money alone.

I just do not trust this Administration, given the conduct that set this whole deal up in the first place.

This legislation, which it took 8 years to pass, it passed the House three times.

I think it's appropriate that their names be in this legislation.

We must stand with the hostages and the families here with us today and all of those in Israel.

I remain 100 percent not convinced that the status quo will keep these funds from being used by Iran for terror activities.

This Administration has allowed Iran back into the global economy.

Cutting a $6 billion deal with a leading State sponsor of terrorism... is in my judgment foolish and only incentivizes more hostage taking.

And to cap it all off, 91 percent of the Iranian oil exports are being bought by China, the largest part of Iran's economy.

Let me repeat that. Mexico currently owes the United States nearly 600,000 acre feet of water.

I just want to mention how much I appreciate your passion and tenacity on this critically important issue.
