Politician

I want you to say 'Never Forget' because when you say 'Never Forget' you're thanking that veteran in a different way. You're allowing them to be thankful for the idea for the fact that as an American you're in it with them. We're in it together and we don't forget together.

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.

There's a knee jerk reaction in Washington when something isn't perfect to just add more money, add more personnel, it'll all be OK. That's not true, especially with complex issues like veterans health care.

I mean, the idea of a government shutdown, it's a consequence of our system.

We can prove that we are in the business of governing responsibly, upholding our rule of law, and giving priority to those immigrants willing to apply legally versus those who leverage our system's loopholes.

It's OK to say whatever you want. It's a free country. And it's also OK for the rest of us to say 'We don't like what you're saying.' That's actually our job as members of Congress.

Give the benefit of the doubt to your opponents if they walk back a controversial statement.

This life, this purpose, this American spirit that we hold dear - we are not alone. We do it together.

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.

Everybody says 'Thank you for your service' and I'll tell you what, veterans really appreciate that.

Victory looks like no more September 11ths.

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 own its own sovereignty.

The Green New Deal is for elitists who live in their high rises in New York City and see a dirty world around them because they're in New York City. I said New York City can pass a Green New Deal... Why not try it? Why not try it?

It is a miracle that I can see at all and continue serving the American people.

There's bipartisan efforts to change how FEMA works or, more importantly, change how relief funding trickles down to us down here.

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

As veterans we should be smarter about how we talk about things.

You should absolutely get involved, especially those local politics like school board seats. That's really where America happens.

Red flag law is a general concept. There could be good ones and there can be bad ones. You should be against the bad ones, as I am.
