Obviously, there's always a battle over philosophical leanings and persuasions, but the bottom line here is that Americans need to understand that this is an ideology in jihadist terrorism that is dangerous beyond words, and we need the moderate Muslim voices to be heard here if this is to be diminished in Islam itself.

Paul Ryan, along with Daniel Webster, is a totally, deeply revered and respected individual in this Congress. And I love both of them. Both of them would have made good speakers. Both of them would make a good pallbearer for a man like me. They're that dear to me.
I so respect Sen. McCain's service to this country, and no one certainly knows more about torture than he does, and so I recognize that.
Either the Obamacare is a dead letter, or the origination clause is; we can't have both.
My own wife is from the Philippines and came here legally to this country, and there are a lot of people that want to be part of this nation, and I want them to be part of this nation.
If Donald Trump is our nominee, I don't think that he represents the best our party has to offer either in temperament or qualification, and I think he's the weakest candidate that is in the race at this point in terms of the general election, and that to nominate him is to give Hillary Clinton a much better chance of being president.
When it comes to our children, the most precious treasure God ever gives us, we protect them with a little sign that says, 'No guns allowed.'
The Constitution gives the Congress absolute authority within the District of Columbia on any legislative issues whatsoever.
The president and the administration had a duty to defend the Defense of Marriage Act, but powerful constituencies of the president did not want the president to defend it. And unfortunately, politics trumped duty.
The administration has taken its inexcusable apathy a step further, declaring that even abiding by the few token sanctions in place isn't truly necessary, as evidenced by the now 20 countries to which the Obama administration has granted waivers to continue doing business with Iran.
An EMP attack on America would send us back to the horse and buggy era - without the horse and buggy. If you're a terrorist, this is your ultimate goal, your ultimate asymmetric weapon.
My deepest desire is to do the thing that is first and foremost just.
The Muslim Brotherhood membership includes designated terrorist organizations like Hamas.
A bad deal with Iran on nuclear weapons is worse than no deal at all.
I hope I say this the right way, but I'm convinced that Israel will not trust other countries to do what they have to do to protect their own security.
I would want THAAD outside in our backyard, if we could get the military to put one there, because I believe it will be a protection to my children and no danger to them.
A big goal of the liberal Democrats in Congress is to try to do away with any effective cooperation to enforce federal immigration laws.
We have to defeat them on the battlefield and in the marketplace of ideals. And PBS, I believe, owed the nation the chance to hear the moderate Muslim voices who decry terrorism and Jihadism, and they didn't give them that chance, and that's a terrible thing.
It's a strong country, but Mr. Obama seems to be doing everything he can to hold it back.
If we have to do enhanced interrogation on terrorists, then I can live with that.
Once in a while, a person finds his humanity in a way that astounds his contemporaries.
The reality is for 50 years in this country, federal law has required people that are illegal - or that are immigrants - or that are legal immigrants to this country to carry documentation to that effect. And that has been the law for 50 years.
I think Paul Ryan would make a great speaker. And people like him are the kinds of people that we need.
Businesses - we protect our businesses with the guns, our banks, our money. We protect politicians with guns.
My district is well-acquainted with my commitment to protecting innocent human life.
I'm a big defense hawk and a big fiscal conservative, but in this case, Pakistan continues to imprison the man who gave us Osama bin Laden and continue to have a major ideological bent within the middle echelons of their government that, I think, should cause all of us pause given the size and nature of their nuclear arsenal.
False Claims Act violators who self-report generally receive the same penalties and face the same damages as those who are caught. I think this makes very little sense.
If lenders are forced to scale back student lending because private student loans are subject to bankruptcy discharge, many students will be denied access to higher education.
The Muslim Brotherhood's declaration of war against the United States is real, and the Obama Administration is again asleep at the wheel, continuing a policy of self-destruction.
The Muslim Brotherhood has decades of violent history covertly operating in the United States and is recognized by experts as having 100 times more active members than Al-Qaeda.
I believe if Mr. Obama is reelected, and Israel somehow is unable to interdict the Iranian nation from gaining nuclear weapons themselves, this administration unfortunately, I'm afraid, will allow Iran to gain a nuclear weapon and then pursue what they believe would be the traditional policy of containment.
If Iran gains a nuclear weapon, we will need a new calendar in the world - it would change humanity that much. Iran will give these weapons to terrorists the world over, and your children and mine will step into the shadow of nuclear terrorism.
The franking commission is not there to fact-check.
We simply have never been able to predict what our next challenge will be.
On the Republican Party platform and the major issues of the Republican Party, Charlie Dent is significantly removed from those foundational principles in his voting record.
The American public should know that the Senate report actually reveals that 82% of detainees subjected to enhanced interrogation did, in fact, produce intelligence that saved American lives.
The comment that I've made is that if unaccompanied minors can cross the border, then certainly trained terrorists probably can, too.
My smile will always be broken, but I'll always be grateful for the chance to get to do what I get to do.
The people still get to choose whether they want to support conservatives or if they want to support Mr. Trump, whose record is not conservative.
I have nothing but the greatest respect and affection for Kevin McCarthy.
When the Left doesn't want to make abortion the issue, they say you're being against minorities.
Wil Cardon understands what Arizona needs in Washington. He is committed to getting our economy back on track, upholding our country's rule of law, and looking out for Arizona families.
Pakistan has done some really terrible things, and yet they also have facilitated our military capabilities in ways that are critical to our country.
Nuclear missiles don't discriminate on party lines when they land.
What if we move to a path to legalization? How do we reconcile that with justice and fairness with those that come here legally?
The Obama Justice Department has decided to cease the prosecution of the Muslim Brotherhood's U.S.-based front groups, identified as unindicted coconspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case - the largest terrorism finance case in U.S. history.
If we can employ free market principles, we can help everyone.
America has some capabilities that Israel doesn't have. And Israel cannot place their security in the hands of Barack Obama; they can't do it.
The notion that the levels of radiation would be damaging to human life is preposterous. It's simply not true. It is a political claim more than it is a scientific claim. THAAD has been a thoroughly tested system, and it has been extremely effective.
When you don't have a voice like Michele Bachmann's, who personifies all of the good things that the Tea Party has come to mean to America, then it's more difficult to have any sort of unified or representative message with the same profile in the media.
