“The front line with ISIS isn’t just in Iraq and Syria, it’s in Kennedy Airport and the Rio Grande. Border security is national security.”

You have a right to have a feather duster. If anyone breaks in, you can make sure they’re really clean as they’re robbing your house.

I think our nation faces enormous challenges, and we need leaders who are willing to tell the truth and do the right thing regardless of the consequences.

It is very simple to be likeable in Washington. You just go along to get along. You just do what your leadership wants.

In the history of humanity, there’s never been a country like America.

A lot of my colleagues actually yell and curse at each other. I don’t do that.

I want more rules, more scrutiny, and to defend the country.

Always be sexy. I salute that message.

Remember the lessons of history – if we don’t learn from history, we’re bound to repeat it.

ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity? Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age.

We need the private sector’s help, because government is not innovating. Technology is running ahead by leaps and bound. The private sector will help, just as I helped after 9/11. But they must be engaged, and they must be asked. I will ask them. I know them.

I appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.

If the Republican Party stands for individual liberty, if we defend the Bill of Rights, if we stand for keeping this country safe, then we deserve to win, and if we don’t, we deserve to lose. It shouldn’t be – it’s not just a game of blue team/red team. It is actually about making a difference in people’s lives.

The last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened.

I’m a maniac, and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly. And Ben [Carson] you’re a terrible surgeon.

The principles Donald Trump is focused on are exactly the right principles: more choice, more competition, lower costs, lower premiums.

One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.

And go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK, and you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.

The first word you see at the airport is ‘terminal’.

My desire to curtail undue freedom of speech extends only to such public areas as restaurants, airports, streets, hotel lobbies, parks, and department stores.

There are plainclothes US officers stationed at airports in Mexico working with Mexican immigration officials to protect the United States.

We still have a problem here in this country of access to airports and airplanes [for terrorists].

I get depressed at airports.

Out of all the airports that are out there only about 5 percent have commercial service.

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.
