The state legislature has to reassert its constitutional role, assert its constitutional responsibility, to set the times, place and manner of the election, not continue to outsource it through the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

It is almost unthinkable to contemplate the Taliban getting hold of the Pakistani Government and those nuclear weapons.

I think there was a political imperative to do everything we could to track him down and bring him to justice.

I think we'll have to put some rules in place and we will have to talk with our politicians and put some laws in place.

There’s no mention of the governor in the Constitution when it comes to running elections. It says state legislatures. And so, if we’re running the joint, and I’m not, I would come out and I would just say we’re reclaiming our authority…

I completely condemn, or right-wing misinformation.

I am certainly questioning the Section 230 liability protections when you have these platforms acting as publishers.

It seems to make more sense that they would tend more to push a liberal ideology.

I think manipulation is potentially going to swing both ways. Who is going to be the arbiters of truth?

I think that they need to really do everything they can to make sure that their children are not affected by this in a negative fashion.

I am hoping as part of this Global Posture Review, I am hoping as part of this Black Sea security strategy that the Administration will soon be rolling out, that a big emphasis will be putting more pressure on the Germans, on the French…

Again, I definitely see how Nord Stream 2 puts at risk Ukraine and anybody serviced through that Ukrainian pipeline, but other than that, I do not see how it increases their ability.

I think the folks that really need to be squeezed are, really, the West European allies.

I get a sense that we just do not explore those possibilities robustly. Is that an accurate statement?

What is the impact of not funding the Defense Department so that we maintain a strength where America's percentage of GDP spent on defense just continues to decline?

I certainly understand opening up the Nord Stream 2 makes Ukraine and anybody supplied through those Ukrainian pipelines vulnerable to Russian extortion.

What is the impact of the embarrassing, I would argue, dangerous surrender in Afghanistan?

Let us face it, Russia rules it.

I am all for appointing ambassadors. I think in your answer you are overlooking what is the impact of capitulation on Nord Stream 2?

I think maybe that is the most important part of this hearing is the signal it sends to the region how strong the bipartisan support is for this region.

Again, I am all for getting ambassadors in place, but ambassadors will not have enough lipstick to put on all those pigs.

Russia's invasion and illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its ongoing destabilization of Eastern Ukraine highlight Russia's malign intent.

There is without a doubt that Russia uses its propaganda arm, its media outlets, to do as much as possible to destabilize these nations.

It does not have to be the U.S. that shoulders the burden alone, but it does fall to the U.S. to lead the way.
