If the president is willing to sign a bill that has those reforms, which everybody agrees intellectually are needed in the long run, no one denies that we have to have some pretty basic reforms as people live longer and baby boomers head towards retirement, if he's willing to work with us, I think that we can get something done, but frankly he can kill that by simply indicating he won't support it, ... It's too difficult to carry reforms of that size against the president, so he has a unique burden of having to decide whether or not he can accept that.
Instead of Theodore Roosevelt's 'talk softly and carry a big stick,' we have yelled and carried a toothpick, ... And what has happened? The people we are protecting are driven out or killed or raped, the people that are under the shelter of the U.S. are no longer in Kosovo.
For the system of government you fashioned including the very principles on which you based it, is increasingly obsolete, and hence increasingly, if inadvertently, oppressive and dangerous to our welfare. It must be radically changed and a new system of government invented, a democracy for the 21st century. For this wisdom, above all, I thank Mr. Jefferson who helped create the system that served us so well for so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and be replaced.

We need to quit subsidizing the costs for illegal immigrants' residency in America immediately. How long will we allow them to siphon millions upon millions from honest taxpaying Americans by supporting their health care, welfare, education and criminal expenses?
There was an analyst who came out the other day who's had a long track record of projecting presidential campaigns based on the economy and other kind of factors. And he said if [Donald] Trump stays about where he is right now, he'll win at about 51 or 52 percent. If Trump actually gets his act together in a disciplined way, he could win by as much as 66 percent.
The long experiment with professional politicians and professional government is over, and it failed.
We're going to try to find everything we can to get the bill signed, and I have every reason to believe they'll be signed,
Isn't that the complete clear implication of that tape? And shouldn't somebody at the White House have a law enforcement responsibility to find out did the White House, in fact, threaten her job. Shouldn't that person be fired summarily?
I spent 40 years of my life getting us here, ... The idea that I would be the excuse to cannibalize the majority is so sickening I couldn't risk it.
I urge my colleagues to pick leaders who can both reconcile and discipline, who can work together and communicate effectively.
I urge Saddam Hussein to save the people of Iraq from violence, ... I urge him to take a step toward ultimately someday lifting the sanctions, I urge him to comply with United Nations resolution, and I want him to know that.
Every year that we wait, the risk increases. I would hope that the administration would decide to do something decisive. . . . We have the military power in the region if we need it. It's a question of whether we have the will.
