There's a lot of overconfidence about this bill. We're going to expose it. It will not pass.

Kissinger-type foreign policy is clearly, in my view, the proper tilt for us in the future, and he [Donald Trump] gets it. And some of our members, I guess, have been so deeply committed to the [George W.] Bush agenda, the neo-conservative agenda, that it's harder for them to acknowledge that. But I acknowledge it.

I've said many times - I told William Buckley, I said, "You warped my mind and I never recovered from it." That was a principled, lawful understanding of the role of government, the Constitution. It was not based on racism, on demagoguery, but on strong principles that - which, consistent with the American heritage and our strength for the future.

Some of my best friends are FBI agents.

I am not the Jeff Sessions my detractors have tried to create. I am not a racist. I am not insensitive to blacks.

To every American, he [Donald Trump] is saying to them, "You elect me and we're going to fix the lawlessness at this border."

I think the elites who have done nothing about it, who don't want a wall and don't care that the border is illegal, they see this as a threat.
