I would hope that the United States Government, through the State Department, would condemn this action by Rouhani and the Iranian Government.

We want it to work for the American people because as you know--reclaiming my time. I have one last comment.

In our view, rewarding Pakistan with such a sale when in fact they have not changed their harboring and support of terrorists within Pakistan.

That's exactly what the bill does. You have different group departments in the State Department doing transparency and evaluations.

I want to follow up on a question she had about what happened to the girls.

The activity of murdering folks, young females, Christians, would that in your opinion, any of you, fit the definition of genocide?

Has there been any evidence that they have all been killed or murdered somewhere?

The Boko Haram has a reputation, and I think it is based on facts, unfortunately, of targeting young women, Christian women, and either forcing them to convert or pay the consequences of sex slavery or murder.

I want to also reiterate the bipartisanship in which this legislation has been brought to the floor through the work of the chairman and the ranking member, who are experts in foreign affairs and especially countries like North Korea. Mr…

Five police officers in the United States this week have been gunned down: one in North Dakota, one in Georgia, one in Colorado, and two in Maryland. I am going to talk about the two in Maryland. On February 10, on a bitter winter day, two…

So we will have a strategy to defeat ISIS that is concrete.

As Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos celebrated their Super Bowl win, around 8:27 California time, a North Korean satellite passed in space over the stadium. What is next? Before long, it could be an intercontinental ballistic missile…

ISIS is deliberately targeting religious minorities, specifically Christians.

I would like for you to define the enemy more than just the name.

I think the CIA has been collecting on this for some time, and there is also al-Qaeda groups in Libya that are dangerous as well.

Our current strategy is not doing that, in my opinion.

Today, 17 months later, we have not accomplished that goal.

Brooke was a victim of human trafficking and child pornography at the age of 7. The nanny was selling Brooke on the marketplace of sex slavery in the United States. A small child sold for sex in the United States is shameful. Brooke was…
