Somewhere in the land, a monster lurked.

I watch sports and cable news. I’m a political junkie, so that’s my interest.

Country comes before politics.

TV is a huge draw. It's a magnet. Even when I was a policeman, if I was on a police scene and the news showed up, I'd race home to see if I would be on TV for 2 seconds!

It's just a show. It's not the end of Western Civilization. It's chewing gum.

The Statue of Liberty means everything. We take it for granted today. We take it for granted. Remember the Statue of Liberty stands for what America is. We as Democrats have to remind ourselves and remind the country the great principles we stand for. This is a place of protection. This is not a country of bullies. We are not an empire. We are the light. We are the Statue of Liberty.

I'm not conflicted. Because I know. There's me, and there's the show.
