In politics almost all of us are nerds, so that's just a given... but we're cool nerds.

I have good voice inflection, that's why I'm good on radio. But on TV, I look too big because I move my hands around a lot.

Before I got into politics, I wanted to be a missionary to people in the Middle East. I thought it would be better to speak with them in their own language.

The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me!

I got into politics when I was eight years old. Six years now. And I got involved because I started listening to talk radio. It goes back to one event. The Democrats filibustered something in the Senate when I was eight years old. I don't remember what it was on and I didn't honestly care when I was eight years old. I cared about the history and the Senate rules.

Bill Bennett really became an idol for me. I listened to him every morning from 6 to 9 for, oh, years.

Now that I'm a political pundit, I have the ability to influence people.
