I think that's his defense, it is to try to win the people over, run for president, win the re-election and maybe someday pardon himself.

I could guarantee you, in his mind right now, he thinks if I win, that's why I think the trial is going to get stalled as long as they possibly can.

democracy by the way, John, can only survive if we have a basic level of trust that your vote counts, and that there's basically rules that we're going to play by including things like classified information, and going forward and…

It's a little heartbreaking to see what's happened to my party and what's happened to the party that you know, back in the day, it was all about truth and law and order and justice.

I mean, it's insane, it is crazy, because look, we take in the military, you take an oath, and that oath well may lead to you giving up your life on behalf of the country.

Kevin McCarthy was right, is what he said? Really?

You know, I wish they would, because this is important, and it's important for our party, my party to hear this from people that are running for president.

Well, look, Anderson. This is huge.

If for some reason Donald Trump gets indicted and he goes down, Ron DeSantis, at this moment, today is probably there to pick up the slack.

I think it's important that he goes at the former president to an extent, he is still kind of keeping his powder dry.

I certainly think that's a hope that none of them will ever speak out loud.

he is utterly a thousand percent lying about the National Guard troops. Complete utter lie.

If we are going to default, let us go ahead and default because then it will on Biden's watch. Because he is so self-absorbed. All he cares about is how it affects himself.

there is one reason Ashli Babbitt is that, because Donald Trump convinced her that the election was stolen and she should go to the Capitol to stop it.

Ukraine needs to win this war and it needs to win this war, frankly, before there is any chance that Donald Trump could ever be president again.

Yes, I wasn't surprised by it because you know, getting -- I have to go through that process every however many years it is where you get your top secret clearance renewed.

I know Edward Snowden was under some false impression that he was some hero when he was really just a traitor, that's got to be screened out because we can't live in this moment where somebody that's 20 or 21 years old, believes they can…

the Air National Guard is the Air Force. It is not a different thing.

I mean, look, just like Edward Snowden, this is a massive kind of breach of our Intelligence, and it could easily cost human lives just because of one kid's ego.

the people that were writing these e-mails told the Committee that they knew they had to pump out, whatever it was each of us 10 or 20 e-mails a day, because we knew that each time we sent out an e-mail, it would raise, whatever, fifty or…

Yes, I mean, I think David is right, probably not right now and I can tell you the inside of what a conference -- the Republican conference feels like right now, because I sat through that for 12 years.

Look, if you are somebody that's sitting around saying, you know, I'm not going to go do a mass shooting with my AR, which is 99.99 repeating percent of those gun owners, then I don't think you'd be upset about going and getting a license…

The other thing is, people assume I think a lot that a police officer with a hand gun against an assailant with an AR is an even match. It is the furthest thing from an even match.

If I'm the former President, I'm going to be nervous because those excuses and those lies and frankly, those misperceptions he made, those are going to come tumbling down.
