The notion that somehow you're going to have freedom just kind of outbreak in Cuba, I think is false.

I had the chance to be governor for eight years and I took a year to transition out and a year to transition in, so that's a decade of my life where I pursued my own ambitions and I thought it was time to rearrange my life to focus on other things.

I never felt comfortable with making political decisions based on whether, you know, it was the right thing to do in terms of a poll.

There's 6 million people living in poverty today, more than when Barack Obama got elected. 6.5 million people are working part-time, most of whom want to work full-time. We've created rules and taxes on top of every aspiration of people, and the net result is we're not growing fast, income is not growing.

Our freedom is under attack. Our economy is under water. The leading democrat is under investigation. And America is under the gun to lead the free world to protect our civilized way of life.

It's not possible in a free country to completely control the border without us losing our freedoms and liberties.

Sixty-five countries doing nothing is not a coalition. We need a strategy. That's the first and foremost thing that we need.
