We have spent, right now, $6 trillion in the Middle East, and America is falling apart. It's not right.

I've dealt with politicians my entire life. You never make a bad deal with a politician. They're so easy.

Elijah Cummings said, "you'll be the greatest president in the history of, but you know what, I'll take that also, but that you could be". But he said, "will be the greatest president but I would also accept the other". In other words, if you do your job, but I accept that. Then I watched him interviewed and it was like he never even was here. It's incredible. I watched him interviewed a week later and it's like he was never in my office.

We're going to be addressing that very strongly and the whole mental health issue is going to be a very important issue when I take over and the V.A. is going to be fixed in so many ways but that's going to be one of the ways we're going to help.

Not that I'm a fan of Bernie Sanders, but a lot of Bernie people voted for Trump. You know why? Because he's right on one issue: Trade. He was right about trade.

If you don't have passion, everything you do will ultimately fizzle out or, at best, be mediocre. Is that how you want to live your life?

I always feel we have to work both outside and inside of our existing institutions, so we have to really be careful about who we vote for and examine carefully our institutions and what they're meant to do and how they're being violated. I also think we need movements from below that oppose what Trump administration and administrations like it are doing to ordinary people.
