Traditionally, you support your nominee for president, and so when I went to Cleveland, I gave a strong speech about Hillary Clinton and her devastating foreign policy, but also in the support of the nominee. I think that's an obligation that we have to support the nominee.
Our farmers and ranchers have never faced as many problems as they do today with drought, range fires, high gas prices and an ever tightening budget on agriculture subsidies.
We're making it more difficult to obtain the necessary ingredients to produce meth and tightening criminal penalties for those who deal in this dangerous drug.
In Europe, you have very different situation than you do in the United States. In Europe, it's very segregated. And you have the diasporas in Belgium that I saw. And they're being radicalized because they're not assimilated with the culture. I don't think we have that same situation in the United States.
I'm very disturbed about the uptick in shootings and violence at our military installations across the nation.
I take ISIS at its word. When they said, in their words, 'We'll use and exploit the refugee crisis to infiltrate the West,' that concerns me.
I don't think we can afford to wait when it comes to cybersecurity. I think that every day we wait, if an attack occurs - and we're getting hit every day - but if a greater attack occurs, it's going to be on the head of Congress for not acting.
In the radical Islamist jihad world, you're seeing more and more recruits going to ISIS rather than al-Qaida.
I cannot support a program that could potentially bring jihadists into the United States.
Now we have a generational threat struggle called Islamist extremism.
Social media campaigns and the savviness of ISIS and propaganda is what greatly concerns us Homeland Security officials.
The President of Iran has called for the destruction of Israel and the West and has even denied the holocaust took place. Iran and its terrorist arm Hezbollah are responsible for the current conflicts between Israel and Lebanon.
We have about 200,000 ISIS tweets per day that hit the United States. The chatter is so loud and the volume is so high that it's a problem that's very hard to stop and disrupt in this country.
I'm a big supporter of our United States military.
We do a very good job at fixing broken bodies but not such a great job at healing broken minds with our returning veterans.
We have a failed state in Syria.
Churchill didn't dance around the Nazis; he called it fascism.
One of the chapters outlined in my book talks about the Iranian influence with Venezuela, these terror flights that go back and forth that we don't manifests on, and then nuclear material smuggled across our unsecure southwest border from Mexico into the United States.
I think there is a failure in foreign policy. And you have to acknowledge that under Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton was the architect of that foreign policy. Whether it was malevolent or not, I don't know.
The phenomena here is the foreign fighter threat, the revolving door from Europe to the region in Iraq and Syria and back through Turkey, back into Europe. And that's what happened in the Paris attackers.
We think there should be a better countering-violent-extremism effort, that there should be a lead agency tasked to handle that.
The pope is a very... passionate man. He likes to get out with the people, and with that comes a large security risk.
I want to give the American people assurances that we are protecting them.
Anything I can do to help destroy ISIS, I will support that.
We pulled out of Libya. Now look what's happened: a safe haven, a vacuum, ISIS training militants to hit in Tunisia.
I think Syria is now the training ground for the world... These rebel forces are more of a threat than anything.
We're trying to find needles in the haystack, and the needles are going dark, and it's because of this phenomenon we can't track their movements.
We're dealing with an enemy now, ISIS, that has a very sophisticated social media program.
What I'm concerned about are two things. I think one that John Miller talked about, and that's the radicalization over the Internet that ISIS is very adept at doing. The other one is a foreign fighter threat.
Do we want a back door in an iPhone where the government can go in to track movements if they have probable cause? I know the director of the FBI and local law enforcement want that capability.
