The Honorable Michael McCaul

Chairman, House Homeland Security Committee

For the first time, we are hearing our president say "radical Islamist terrorism." President Trump uttered these words loud and clear during his inaugural speech on January 20, 2017 and he will treat the fight for what it is – a war. Without sugar-coating, his speech marked the end of "leading from behind" and the beginning of "America first."

As Commander-in-Chief, Trump is now responsible for protecting our people from those who wish to do us harm, and defending our democracy against those who seek to undermine it.
