Is there any wonder why we are in such big trouble? Any question why the people don’t trust their government anymore, and demand a change?
I’m a conservative, pro-life governor in a state where it is really tough to be both. A state like New Jersey, with lots of Democrats, but still we cut taxes, we balanced budgets. We fought the teacher’s union.
Social Security is meant to be – to make sure that no one who’s worked hard, and played by the rules, and paid into the system grows old in poverty in America.
I was appointed United States attorney on September 10, 2001. And I spent the next seven years of my career fighting terrorism and putting terrorists in jail.
In the eight years before I became governor, there was zero net private sector job growth in New Jersey. Zero. For eight years.
When the president of the United States says he’s going to do something, he needs to do it. That makes not only our adversaries more emboldened. It makes our allies more nervous.
The biggest anxiety is just about America’s role in the world. People are feeling very unsafe. They really are. They’re just wondering whether, anything can be done to try to stabilize the world a little bit.
I’m quite sure that no court is telling anybody that they cannot say whatever they want to say.
People have the absolute right to preach and to think and to say whatever they believe, and at the same time those beliefs can’t be used as the basis for denying other people their equal rights and their equal freedom.
I believe that American engagement, through our embassy, our businesses, and most of all through our people, is the best way to advance our interests and support for democracy and human rights.
I think the presidency is much too serious a thing to just play politics with.
If the Chinese commit cyberwarfare against us, they are going to see cyberwarfare like they have never seen before.
When you’re pro-life, you need to be pro-life for the whole life.
I think people hear the question they want to hear.
There are times when people that you put in those positions make mistakes, they disappoint you, you lose their – you lose your confidence in them, or they lie to you. And when you find that out, the test of leadership is what do you do.
When you’re exonerated, then the people who wrongly accused you should have the guts to stand up and say, “I’m sorry.”
I think what the American people want more than anything else is a strong and decisive leader.
Never be easy for any president to deal with any Congress. But republicans got to work together. We got to get things done.
As we all grow and we get older, there are always little changes about our personality that happen.
I don’t disagree with Senator Paul’s position that we shouldn’t be funding our enemies. But I absolutely believe that Israel is a priority to be able to fund and keep them strong and safe after eight years of this administration.
I know the human spirit. I haven’t found a wall that can be built that a determined human being can’t get over, under or around.
