Look, here's the reality. No one is coming, except us.

Congress decided to have a select committee.

It is my impression and my intention and the Committee's intention that they will be compelled.

Some fear your own base, which in and of itself is an incredible and sad thought.

I`m pretty confident, we won`t see a repeat of occupying the Capitol. I`m not confident we won`t see violence. I am confident that law enforcement is more prepared. But I think it`s ironic that, you know, the rallying cry as justice for…

There's such a sense of tribalism, tribalism now that we won't get out of it unless politicians are willing to stand up and do things that may not be popular in their own self-interests.

I asked the Secretary specifically, you know, there's discussion about recognizing the Taliban now. And I said, tell me, at what point did the Taliban in essence become the governing group of Afghanistan? Or was this an armed coup?

I have made the decision to be on the January 6 Committee, I think why I can say Liz Cheney has as well, is because we realize without this nonpartisan investigation of what happened, you're going to have this retelling of history to where…

We shouldn't ask that of our State Department employees, even though we appreciate that they did.

this, to me, appears to be an armed military coup against the legitimate elected government of Afghanistan.

We support the members of the State Department and their heroic action in the evacuation.

For me, I`m pro-life, but what I don`t like to see is this idea of every citizen being able to tattle, sue an Uber driver, as you said, be deputized to enforce this abortion law to whatever they want.

the indications we're getting on the ground have been very different than what the administration is briefing.

People have used the Kennedy Bay of Pigs analogy where he took full responsibility, and actually his poll numbers recovered, because that's what Americans want. They want leaders who take responsibility.
