Keeping our military strong means keepin' our families strong.

I think that dealing with guns is one way to handle the violent-crime issues that we have in this country.

We can't change the way Washington works unless we first change how Congress works.

The challenges posed by threats like terrorism, proliferation, and cyber attacks are not going away any time soon, and for our intelligence community to be effective over the long haul, we must maintain the trust of the American people and people around the world.

I'll be honest, there have been times when I've listened to the rhetoric in Europe where an easy equivalent somehow between the United States and Russia and between how our governments operate versus other governments operate, where those distinctions aren't made.

One faction of one party, in one house of Congress, in one branch of government, doesn't get to shut down the entire government just to refight the results of an election.

Sometimes people just feel as if we want to try something to see if we can shake things up.
