I'd say my greatest weakness is impatience. I don't suffer fools well.

If you have to deal with our friends at ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it's like a Kafka novel. Files just disappear.

We have huge national security issues in this country, and the United States Senate ought to be pushing President [Barack] Obama towards the proper policies that right now are a complete disaster based on his policies.

If we want to destroy radical Islamic terrors, we can't disassociate ourselves from peace loving Muslims.

There should be full engagement to protect our country from a grave threat, which is the weakest foreign policy since Jimmy Carter.

I would let the military commanders give the commander in chief options rather than tell them what you want to hear. Not having gotten those options, I can't tell you if we are going to have boots on the ground but certainly, a more expanded role for the special operators would be essential. And being more effective in strikes as it is relates to the air.

I would say national security is work in progress.
