people secret law-enforcement
We cannot make the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States someone who has risked America's secrets and lied about this to Congress and the American people about it day after day after day.
wall spirit determined
I know the human spirit. I haven't found a wall that can be built that a determined human being can't get over, under or around.
strong believe israel
I don't disagree with Senator Paul's position that we shouldn't be funding our enemies. But I absolutely believe that Israel is a priority to be able to fund and keep them strong and safe after eight years of this administration.
running country religious
When people run a business and open their door to the public, they must serve the public. That doesn't mean they can't say whatever they want to say. It doesn't mean they can't believe whatever they want to believe. Those are protected also. But businesses must serve the public. And that's a principle that we fought for in this country over many, many decades, when some were invoking religious freedom as an excuse to deny people on the basis of their race, on the basis of their religion, on the basis of sex and on the basis now of sexual orientation. Let's not confuse one thing with the other.
believe law people
People have an absolute right to believe what they want to believe and to say what they want to say, and churches have an absolute protection to preach and do and not do whatever they choose to do within their houses of worship. But nondiscrimination laws apply to the commercial marketplace and they do protect all of us.
believe rights people
I believe that American engagement, through our embassy, our businesses, and most of all through our people, is the best way to advance our interests and support for democracy and human rights.
sorry should-have people
When you're exonerated, then the people who wrongly accused you should have the guts to stand up and say, "I'm sorry."
thinking people want
I think people hear the question they want to hear.
pro-life needs whole-life
When you're pro-life, you need to be pro-life for the whole life.
chinese commit ifs
If the Chinese commit cyberwarfare against us, they are going to see cyberwarfare like they have never seen before.
mistake lying people
There are times when people that you put in those positions make mistakes, they disappoint you, you lose their - you lose your confidence in them, or they lie to you. And when you find that out, the test of leadership is what do you do.
believe thinking rights
People have the absolute right to preach and to think and to say whatever they believe, and at the same time those beliefs can't be used as the basis for denying other people their equal rights and their equal freedom.
want court
I'm quite sure that no court is telling anybody that they cannot say whatever they want to say.
retirement program congress
I don't disagree with ending Congress' retirement program. I'm a governor, I don't have a retirement program in my state, and I don't disagree with that.
