Remind your people in America that they should not lose their confidence, because when they lose their confidence, the whole world suffers.
The dynamic has really changed in the U.S. Americans believe they can be competitive, that they can win medals.
The World War II generation believed the United States could do anything - anything... And Vietnam was a shattering experience for everyone.
As Americans, there are very few things we have confidence in.
That American confidence is more alive and well than it should be, to this day. But it's such a problem. There's a blindness to that confidence, a presumption that what's good for me is good for you. No! That's what teenagers think: the world revolves around them. As a nation, we've got to stop thinking that way. We're getting too old for that.
The American people increasingly are losing confidence in the Supreme Court, in large part because of the behavior of certain members of that Court and because of certain rulings, including the Dobbs decision, and taking away a precedent that had been in place for 50 years, protecting a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body. So I do believe that there should be some kind of reform of the Court.

There's a physicality and confidence to Americans; they're very present. That's something I enjoy being around because it rubs off on you.
I hope the people on Wall Street will pay attention to the people on Main Street. If they do, they will see there is a rising tide of confidence in the future of America.
Looking at America's history, ordinary people did something extraordinary. Leaders risked their lives for freedoms that we take for granted today. That's what instills confidence. That's us. We will move forward and prosper because that's who we are as Americans.
House Republican women are trailblazers in their own right, and we are focused on a bold, forward-looking agenda to restore a confident America, where every individual and family feels secure in their lives and in their futures.
I see success as bringing some confidence back to the American people that despite our differences, we can find some ways to move forward.
