"I really don't think it's smart to have the Defense Department down in the southern border."

"I wouldn't be here talking to you about it in Washington, D.C., in front of a committee that I could beat the hell out of you on a budget, if it wasn't important."

"The truth is, there is no competition there. And I don't think there is near enough competition in the energy sector."
