Ted Poe

What is the policy of the U.S. for the future? To take those people out or to capture those people?

So that irritates me. Do you want to explain that word 'cowardice' and what you mean by that?

I hope that is not so, sir.

I want to thank Congressman Ted Poe and his staff for their care and diligence on having Victor's personal effects returned from Algeria.

Terrorists have spilled American blood and we must do everything we can to bring the perpetrators to justice.

I said it on the House floor that this was a terrorist attack.

We must respond to any type of violent attack that occurs against Americans no matter where it is when it is a terrorist attack.

It does make a difference. It makes a difference to the victims' families who want justice.

I would be candid to say that we feel like we did a lot of talking. We feel like we were talked to but not listened to.

We shouldn't have to compete with our Government subsidizing this pre-clearance facility or subsidizing other things that give them a competitive advantage.

I do have strong concerns with the Department of Homeland Security and its plan to establish a U.S. Customs and Border Protection pre-clearance facility at Abu Dhabi International Airport in the United Arab Emirates.

Doesn't this put an economic disadvantage to American airlines' companies that we have a facility where you all are working, where American airlines cannot fly in and out?

A pre-clearance facility comes across as hurting United States air carriers.

The national security benefit seems to be unclear at the moment.

I want to extend our sympathy to you, Maureen, and the families of Victor.

That bond makes this relationship unique.

The South Korean people are allies of the United States.

Today the President declared war on America's energy. The administration issued an imperial-style edict ordering the EPA, in essence, to shut down domestic energy: oil, natural gas, and coal. Never mind the consequences. By shutting down…

There is a civil war raging in Syria. No question about it, President Assad is a bad guy. He hates Israel and he hates his own people. The humanitarian situation in Syria is dire. I have been to Syrian refugee camps in Turkey and seen…
