The fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion.

I'm willing to negotiate, but not compromise my core principles.

You've got to quit judging people just because they have an 'R' or a 'D' in front of their name. We don't do that in Oklahoma.

You've got to build a relationship. You can't just deal with people when it's business. If it is, then you always have to assume that they have an angle when they come at you.

Oklahoma has a respect for our neighbors. That's the Oklahoma standard.

You've got to respect people; you've got to understand where they come from. We know where people in Oklahoma come from - that's why we get along.

I'm not for raising taxes on anyone - period.

I'm paying more taxes inside my company and personally than I'll ever receive from Congress.

America is - and will always be - a success story. We have African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics, and members of other ethnic groups elected to positions inside our governments.

It's important for Oklahoma to have people in a position to make a difference. The only way we can do that is to have people in key places.

I think people's interpretation of a body slam is different than the techniques.

When we censor our history by disguising our scars, we belittle this process and the struggles our ancestors fought so hard to overcome. America doesn't cower behind political correctness. It defiantly and courageously moves forward, with its history as a reminder of where we have been.

As an American, you have the right to protest me or another individual or a group, but I believe that protesting the United States for the mistakes it has made - when it gave you the freedom to do so in the first place - is disrespectful.

Apparently it's acceptable for members of Congress to own stock in companies we regulate in Congress, but somehow, our plumbing company crosses some line.

The last thing we want is to make people think we're going back on our word.

The politicians said Dr. Tom Coburn couldn't deliver babies when he got elected to the U.S. Senate.

In an imperfect world, full of imperfect leaders, there are countless statues that may not live up to our American values.

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the average American family of four will receive a $1,182 tax cut. Imagine what you could do with $1,182 more in your pocket!

You live this life being selfish, you're not going to enjoy it like you will when you open your heart and your home up.

I would have never run for office if it wasn't for the fact that my biggest threat to my company was the federal government and the overreach of the EPA. They've gone too far, and it's time for them to be pulled back in.

Native Americans have faced centuries of atrocities to their people, their land, and their culture - all under various presidents who took an oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.

My wife is the most loving person that you can ever imagine.

I didn't have any idea what politics was like. I was surprised at how difficult it is to get something done. In the private world, if I have an idea, I just do it.

I never owned a suit until after the election. I got married in jeans and boots. My wife and I, when we went to prom, I was in a pair of jeans.

A person gets pushed down; they think they're being 'body-slammed.' There's really not any certain thing - that came from more fake wrestling - you know, 'the body slam,' being picked up in the air and thrown to the ground. It's all in someone's interpretation of what someone thinks a 'body slam' really is.
