I went to Brigham Young University on a football scholarship. I wasn't a football player; I was a place kicker.

My challenge to members on both sides of the aisle is to stand up and have the integrity to say that we have a dead U.S. agent; we have a Department of Justice that lied to Congress.

I think, from the broad political spectrum, not just the Freedom Caucus, I think there is a need for internal reform that is how we bring bills up, getting back to regular order, how we offer amendments or don't offer amendments.

Throughout my first year in office, I have stood up for principles that will guide our country back toward the path of freedom and prosperity.

The Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have taken the biggest lurch to the left in policy in American history. There've been no - no Congress, no administration that has run this far to the left in such a small period of time. And there is a reaction to that.

It's time the government stopped using taxes to reward winners and losers in love.

I decided I ought to pick a project that would not be controversial, that would not really cost the government a lot of money.

There's no time, place, or purpose of a government shutdown or default.
