I want to thank the President and the CEO of Constellation Energy, Mayo Shattuck. That's a pretty cool first name, isn't it, Mayo. Pass the Mayo.

I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound perch in my lake.

[I was raised in] West Texas where people can dream big dreams and achieve them. But where people also have a great sense of community. They cared about their neighbors. And those values, I think, have stood me well.

Americans spend 6 billion hours a year filling out their tax reforms.

The great tradition of America is one where people can worship the way they want to worship. And if they choose not to worship, they're just as patriotic as your neighbor. That is an essential part of why we are a great nation. If you're a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim, you're equally American.

This thaw took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw.

I think by not participating in the current political debate, hopefully I'm sending a signal that will help set a tone.
