I've heard a lot of nasty rhetoric about the president. We're going to kick your rear end out of the White House and stuff. That's just not the way I behave.

We [americans] need to control our border just like people have to control who goes in and out of their house.

We need a dramatic improvement in the way we train people who get displaced.

We have to solve the encryption problem. It is not easy.

I don't understand this thing about [Bashar] Assad. He has to go. Assad is aligned with Iran and Russia. The one thing we want to prevent is we want to prevent Iran being able to extend a Shia crescent all across the Middle East. Assad has got to go.

If the [Republican] party wants to have an ideological debate, it's never going to win anything in a major way.

Politics can not only be drudgery and Captain Queeg with the balls in his hands.
