And I think about a vision. I think my vision is this big ship we call America, and she is slowly changing course back into the wind, and it is a good direction. At times, we have to tack into the wind, but the direction is positive. And it is exciting for me to see an 11-point surge in optimism in this country in January of this year alone.

Some days, it was 11,000. But under President Trump, we are now averaging less than 300 of those border crossings a day. We went from 10,000 a day to 300 a day. That is a promise made and a promise kept.…

It’s just shocking to see the people that are in the Democrat Party that are the voice now of the Democrat Party — these are radical Marxists and they’re certainly left of socialism.

What are Democrats running from. Why are they afraid? If what you’re saying is true, then why are you worried about this? Why not have voter ID? Why not have some type of proof of citizenship.

I think that the Democrats would absolutely eliminate the filibuster.
