benefits care coverage dental entire family full health million paid pay pension retired teacher towards vision yes
A retired teacher paid $62,000 towards her pension and nothing, yes nothing, for full family medical, dental and vision coverage over her entire career. What will we pay her? $1.4 million in pension benefits and another $215,000 in health care benefit premiums over her lifetime.
giving advice consistently
I've said consistently, the advice I give to Donald is to Donald [Trump]. And that's based upon our friendship over the last 14 years and the way I would expect to.
country giving special
And Donald Trump is not going to give in to the special interests in this country, like the teachers' union, who say that substandard education in our urban areas can only be fixed by giving it more money and that that's all they're going to do about it and not change the underlying problems that we have on violence.
country guy consistent
This is a guy [Donald Trump] who has been very consistent on no amnesty, no legalization, for folks who have been coming to the country illegally.
country thinking decision
Now there's going to be some decisions [Donald Trump] is going to have to make as president regarding those folks, and I think what he's said let's first get all of the bad actors out of the country. And I think that's what's really important.
thinking long listening
Donald Trump has been saying that I think for as long as I've been listening to him of late, and that's what he's going to do.
thinking clinton very-good
You know what I think that button [in Kremlin] should have read? It should've read "delete." Y'know, she [Hillary Clinton] is very good at that by the way.
house suffering majority
There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims: the House majority and their Speaker, John Boehner.
believe heart eye
You know, I think what the American people want more than anything else right now is someone who's just going to look them in the eye and tell them the truth, even some truths that they don't like. And - but they have to believe the person's speaking from their heart and are authentic.
winning greatness america
The greatness of America is in the American people. And what we need to do is get the government the hell out of the way and let the American people win once again.
pain taken hands
Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.
teacher believe unions
They believe in teachers unions. We believe in teachers.
years law america
I spent seven years of my life in the immediate aftermath of September 11th doing this work, working with the Patriot Act, working with our law enforcement, working with the surveillance community to make sure that we keep America safe.
country jobs america
The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state's greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest. That's what we did in New Jersey and that's the model for America.
