I took an oath of office to the Constitution, I didn't take an oath of office to my party or my president.

All I can do is present what I think is in the best interest of this country and how I can best serve this country and the president of the United States. And I feel very good about that opportunity I've had.

We live in a world of absolute immediacy. It is an interconnected, combustible world, where technology and many other actions have given nonstate actors a reach, into countries and societies, for both good and evil, that we have never seen before. So it isn't a matter of just state versus state challenges or conflict. The bigger problem is nonstate actors.

No border that touches Israel is always secure.

No one person leads alone - can't do it, it's impossible. It doesn't make any sense. You need a team.

This is a complicated time to govern in the world today because of so much going on and it's coming at us at such an unprecedented rate.

I think this is the biggest lesson a president or any of us who has responsibility to govern have to learn: There are always consequences to actions that you take. There are consequences to inaction.
