My belief has always been that national defense is the most important thing we do, but we shouldn't borrow to pay for it.
What most Americans don't realize is there is an unholy alliance. They come together. There's a secret handshake. We spend more money on everything. And we are not stronger nation if we go further into debt. We are not projecting power from bankruptcy court.
I don't think it's so much Trump lobbing us for changes. It's us asking him for help in getting the changes done. I think Trump has the bully pulpit. He has a great deal of influence with the Republican Party on both the House and the Senate side. The bill right now to the conservative point of view doesn't have enough repeal. It looks like we're keeping a lot of Obamacare. So we actually think that there needs to be more repeal. That's the message I took to Trump.
We shouldn't have a program where we just say that we're going to take care of the world's refugees. Nobody in the Middle East is doing anything. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait - all the Gulf nations are doing nothing.
I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.
Well, let's be clear, I'm the only one on the stage who actually has a five-year budget that balances.
I still say exactly what my original opinion is. Do you borrow money from China to send it to anyone? Out of your surplus, you can help your allies, and Israel is a great ally. And this is no particular animus of Israel, but what I will say, and I will say over and over again, we cannot give away money we don't have.
I will not let the patriot act, the most un-patriotic of acts, go unchallenged.
I need to be very careful about going on certain networks that seem to have a bias.
I will advocate for Kentucky's interests.
Of strong importance to me is the defense of minority rights, not just racial minorities, but ideological and religious minorities.
I think my dad has helped me tremendously.
I don't think Edward Snowden deserves a death penalty or life in prison. I think that's inappropriate. I think that's why he fled, [because] that is what he faced.
Perhaps it is time to be more careful what we ask government to do, and where we allow it to become part of our lives.
The 11 million, I think, are never going home, don't need to be sent home, and I would incorporate them into our society by giving them work visas and making them taxpayers.
Republicans who criticize the use of two languages, I think, make a great mistake.
I've had an interest in politics since I was a little kid.
We as Republicans have taken the easy way out a lot of times.
I would argue that the objective evidence shows that big government is not a friend to African Americans.
I think that most manufacturing and mining should be under the purview of state authorities.
The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.
I'm the third of five children.
The president began this program by executive order. He should immediately end it by executive order. For over a year now, he has said the program is illegal, and yet he does nothing.
Many states and even many people who are in support of the death penalty question their support of the death penalty because of the imperfection of our courts. Through DNA testing, we don't always get it right, even with that.
Some people say I chastise the Republican Party too much.
