This grandson of an Irish immigrant, after whom I was named, Richard Michael Cawley is my grandfather. I was right that - and I always tell kids that, you know, if my small life represents anything is that if you work hard, you study hard, and you never give up on your dreams and listen to people that care about, you can live those dreams. And for me to be up on the platform standing with my right hand in the air in the presence of my family and our new president [Donald Trump], it just tells me this is a great country. My grandfather was right.

Donald Trump is going to speak the truth to the American people.

I think Donald Trump laid out a series of priorities that doesn't end with border security, it begins with border security.

Donald Trump has laid out a priority to remove criminal aliens, remove people who have overstayed their visas. And once we have accomplished all of that, which will strengthen our economy, strengthen the rule of law in this country and make our communities safer once the criminal aliens are out, then we'll deal with those that remain.

We should stand by our allies, but we should also stand by our ideals and work with our allies and encourage them to live up to the democratic institutions and traditions that they enjoy.

I have long been a supporter of a free and independent press and I always will be. But with freedom comes responsibility.

Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh.
