“The path we’re on has taken the USA to the brink of bankruptcy.”

I introduced legislation in the Senate that I believe is more narrowly focused at the actual threat, which is radical Islamic terrorism, and what my legislation would do is suspend all refugees for three years from countries where ISIS or Al Qaida control substantial territory.

We`re seeing something fairly remarkable happen on the political train. We`re seeing the Washington establishment abandoning Marco Rubio. I think they`ve made the determination that Marco can`t win. And they`re rushing to support Donald Trump.

One of the problems with Marco’s [Rubio] foreign policy is he has far too often supported Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama undermining governments in the Middle East that have helped radical Islamic terrorists.

Liberty is never safer than when politicans are terrified.

At the debate, Donald Trump backed off of his health care position for 20 years. For 20 years, he has agreed with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on socialized medicine, saying Obamacare doesn’t go far enough. He wants the government to pay for everyone’s health care and to control it.

I believe every human life is a gift from God and we should cherish and protect and celebrate them.

In Texas, we cook bacon a little differently than most folks…MACHINE-GUN BACON.

It took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan.

And many of the alarmists on global warming, they’ve got a problem cause the science doesn’t back them up. And in particular, satellite data demonstrate for the last 17 years, there’s been zero warming. None whatsoever.

The American free market system is the greatest engine for prosperity and opportunity that the world has ever seen. Freedom works.

Political correctness is bad.

I know very much what I believe.

One of the things that I intend to devote a lot of time to in the coming years is continuing to try to move people’s hearts and minds with humor, with stories, with anecdotes, with facts and information.

The Constitution is brilliant for accountability; for posing factions against each other, to fight amongst themselves in government, which protects our liberty. But also in ensuring that decision-making is made by those who the people can hold accountable.

You don’t hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don’t think that belongs in politics.

Family responsibility, yes, and always. Family bankruptcy due to the cruel rules of government, no.

It’s a trap for the rest of your life because the laws are designed so that you can’t get out of it. If a business, say, gets in too much debt, it can declare bankruptcy, but individuals can almost never be relieved of student debt through bankruptcy.
