I will attack ideas very hard. I am not shy about that one bit. So I don't want people to think that because I had a call for civility that that means I shy away from debate and that I'm agreeable. That's not the case. What is the case is that I will not question who you are as a person.

Americans can forgive one another.

The left is really good at selling bad ideas and the right is really bad at selling good ideas.

Every country has the right to manage who comes in and out of those borders.

The role of government is to tax the people to the least extent possible while still taxing them enough to cover the basic needs for government.

The Green New Deal fundamentally destroys our economy and does a lot of other weird stuff, too.

Politicians should aim for higher discourse, the media should report context instead of seeking to inflame the public, and the public should not reward bad behavior nor engage in it on social media.

I need the VA to be flexible enough to send me outside for care.

When you say 'never forget' to a veteran, you are implying that, as an American, you are in it with them.

I believe that the role of government is for the government to protect the God-given rights we have and to ensure that we live as free as possible.

Labeling someone as an '-ist' who believes in an '-ism' because of the person's policy preference is just a shortcut to playground-style name-calling, cloaked in political terminology.

Well-intentioned liberalism always leads to progressivism. There's no choice there. Once that action is taken the only thing you can run on is totalitarianism - you have no choice.

We've got to think long-term too because I don't think Trump speaks to a lot of young people.

The judicial system is really taking an activist role in preventing Trump from implementing his agenda.

If you think my idea is awful, you should say as much. But there is a difference between attacking an idea and attacking the person behind that idea.

Our good intentions have gotten in our own way and it's bad for immigrants.

I spent a whole career infiltrating places.

AOC understands how to be famous. It's got to be natural. It's genuine.

There are many ideas that we will never agree on. The left and the right have different ways of approaching governance, based on contrasting philosophies. But many of the ultimate goals - economic prosperity, better health care and education, etc. - are the same. We just don't share the same vision of how to achieve them.

Why can't we give the American people a break and separate humor from politics?

Houston's been getting flooded for a very long time. We always have to prepare for disasters and we have to do this in a very bipartisan way.

Flooding is the most urgent issue that Houstonians are facing.

It's OK to criticize Israeli policy.

Whether it's military resources or whatever it is doesn't matter. We need more detention facilities, more immigration judges, we need the ability to adjudicate these claims right on the spot without releasing people. If they don't have a credible claim of persecution and the vast majority do not, they get deported immediately.

We actually all care about the environment, and most people believe in climate change and believe that mankind has something to do with that - how much is scientifically debatable, but there is some effect and we all have an interest in reducing carbon emissions, just having cleaner air, cleaner oceans. It's something we can get behind.
