Bernie's not only a good friend, he's one of the most honest politicians in the race.

I'm a gaffe machine, but my God, what a wonderful thing compared to a guy who can't tell the truth.

I apologize for any pain I may have caused with my past comments about crime and criminal justice.

The Crime Bill did some good things, but it also had some unintended consequences that we need to address.

Millennials have a message for the Joe Biden generation, hurry up and die.

This is -- this is a president who continues to speak in ways that just are completely contrary to everything who we are.

What a president says matters. Like I said, our kids are listening, but the public is going to listen too.

America is an idea. It's an idea. It's bigger than any damn ocean, more powerful than any army.

The vast majority of the American people think that there should be rational gun policy.

I think he's beholding to his base.

There's a movement occurring in America where finally I think going to get to the place where there's a rational position on gun ownership.

We choose hope over fear, you know, unity over division, and maybe most importantly, truth over lies.

We got to let him know who we are, man. Even his supporters know who he is. They have no illusions about the basic fun character traits.

You shouldn't be able to buy certain weapons, because they have no rational other than.

You can't define what an American is based on ethnicity, on race, on religion, on background.

A president should speak to everybody, everybody. The base should be Democrats, Republicans, independents across the board. That's not who he is.

What I would do is -- I would try to -- I would institute a national buyback program and I would move it in the direction to making sure that that in fact is what we try to do, get them off the street.

We have to take on the gun manufacturers, as well as the NRA. All they're interested in is selling a weapon, not about safety.

Because the world has changed. People are now aware.

You can, we did that in our administration, act by executive order, on 30 different executive orders.

Universal background checks.

By the way, I've always argue that there should be people who are denied the ability to have weapons if they have a mental illness.

Let's go make sure that we in fact do not allow what I was able to do once with Dianne Feinstein's help eliminate the ability to have an assault weapon.

There's no question that his rhetoric contributed to at a minimum, at a minimum of dumbing down the way in which we as a society talk about one another.

This is a president who has said things no other president has said since Andrew Jackson.
