pay conservative program
You can not be a conservative if you're going to keep promoting new programs that you're not going to pay for.
phones records persons
You can tell a person's religion 85 percent of the time from their phone records.
jobs phones data
If Senator Rubio were doing his job and in Congress more, he might know that the program [phone records of a potential terrorist cause] continues. It's been ongoing for the last six months. So the Paris tragedy, this tragedy happened while we were still doing bulk collection, all bulk collection. Also in France, they have a program a thousand-fold more invasive, collecting all of the data of all of the French.
giving-up liberty want
How much liberty do with want to give up for a false sense of security?
country legislation right-now
I've introduced legislation to say, "For right now, let's stop it," from about 34 countries.
giving-up past thinking
I think what we've had in the past is the government has said, "Well, we need to collect the whole haystack." And the haystack is Americans' privacy. Every Americans' privacy. We have to give up all of our privacy.
country fashion phones
The government has investigated our program of collecting through a generalized fashion, everyone's phone records in the country. And they found that no terrorist case has been thwarted through this.
fashion thinking tools
I don't think we're actually using the constitutional tools that we have in an appropriate fashion.
party independent winning
The key to winning any general election in the USA is to excite your base and then expand your base - get independent voters and voters who haven't been voting for your party to come to your party.
dollars projects minutes
We do not project power from bankruptcy court. We're borrowing a million dollars a minute.
independent enemy stronger
Benjamin Netanyahu said that ultimately, they will be stronger when they're independent. My position is exactly the same.We shouldn't borrow money from China to send it anywhere, but why don't we start with eliminating aid to our enemies.
conservative position
I'm a Reagan conservative. Reagan did negotiate with the Soviets. But you have to negotiate from a position of strength.
israel giving allies
I still say exactly what my original opinion is. Do you borrow money from China to send it to anyone? Out of your surplus, you can help your allies, and Israel is a great ally. And this is no particular animus of Israel, but what I will say, and I will say over and over again, we cannot give away money we don't have.
mean thinking east
If you are accused of being associated with terrorism, which could mean you are an Arab- American and you've sent e-mails to a relative in the Middle East, you should get your day in court, and I think you should get a lawyer and a trial, and I think most Americans agree to that.
