So the truth is I love you all but I am trying to put you all out of business.

As far as I know, in everything I have ever done most of my time in public life has been trying to fine tune those regulations trying to figure out what works, and what doesn't work.

I wish I lived in a society where there is no need for HUD, no need for any housing authorities.

We will not abandon the people of South Sudan. They are in critical need, and they need the international community.

I do think an arms embargo is necessary, can be effective. It is long, long, long, long overdue.

The current leadership needs to be held accountable, because it is impossible for me to believe this type of conduct is taking place without the President or Vice President fully complicitous in these operations.

The government has now moved from being a partner to a predator.

It is necessary as a signal to all the parties and to the people of South Sudan that the international community, the United States, we find this conflict utterly beyond the pale morally.

Imposing sanctions may very well be needed, including arms embargoes and governance issues.

The U.N. mission should have taken more action to protect civilians during the fighting last July.

Those responsible for those horrendous crimes must be punished.

The fact that we would even discuss any more peacekeepers in that scenario where we are not also stopping them from procuring weapons seems completely disconnected.

There are almost 200,000 civilians in the six U.N. peacekeeping bases and many of them would not be alive today if not for the U.N.'s presence.

I don't trust them either. And actually, it sounds like my friends on the other side trust them more than I do.

Today is about headlines, not headway.

Very clear question. Forget the hostages.

There have been settlements that inured to the benefit of Americans totaling about $2.5 billion.

If this was a separate deal, cash-for-Americans, I would be agreeing with my colleagues on the other side. Ransom is unacceptable.

Would you send them back? Would you put them back into harm's way, incarcerated in Iran?

I think the judgment--the questioning of judgment on any settlement is a fair question.

I hope you understand this is a political game to try once again to, number one, trash the Obama Administration; number two, trash the Iran nuclear deal.

This is an important issue, as is any time the Federal Government spends your tax dollars.

This is not the most investigated project in the history of the country. The Big Dig is.

This is how we really make the system work for everybody and meet our environmental objectives.

Affordable housing for workers is one of the biggest problems we have in Boston.
