I was appointed U.S. attorney by President [George] Bush on September 10th, 2001, and the world changed enormously the next day, and that happened in my state.I will make no apologies, ever, for protecting the lives and the safety of the American people. We have to give more tools to our folks to be able to do that, not fewer, and then trust those people and oversee them to do it the right way.

Hillary Clinton called President Assad a "reformer". She called Assad a "different kind of leader". There's now 400,000 now dead... think about that.

Everyone wants to demagogue everyone else. That may be good politics, but it's awful policy.

I believe in my heart that I am ready to work to restore America to its rightful place in the world.

Quite frankly, we have seen liberal policies in cities like Chicago, like New York and others, have led to increased crime.

We prosecuted two of the biggest terrorism cases in the world and stopped Fort Dix from being attacked by six American radicalized Muslims from a Mosque in New Jersey because we worked with the Muslim American community to get intelligence and we used the Patriot Act to get other intelligence to make sure we did those cases. This is the difference between actually been a federal prosecutor, actually doing something, and not just spending your life as one of hundred debating it.

I know the human spirit. I haven't found a wall that can be built that a determined human being can't get over, under or around.
