I think to a degree this happens when they [russians] spot a softness in us, which I think for a while they did.

People are frustrated. They're fed up. They don't think the government is working for them.

Let me just suggest to everybody, and I hear - last February [2015], I said we needed to have people on the ground in a coalition with Europe and our allies. This is not going to get done just by working with the Sunnis. And it is not going to get done if we just embed a few people.

Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.

You give up a lot to be in politics. And if you're not there to change the world I don't know what you're there for. I mean, it doesn't make any sense to me.

The administration [of Barack Obama] is going to have to figure out, you know, a tough response on the basis of this [Russian] hacking.

I try to keep what I say. And I - I'm not deviated from this position at all.
