I've made my career, made money in real estate and real estate development.

How can you not have people in leadership roles in our country not supporting the rule of law? That's what separates us from the rest of the countries around the world.

When you look at all of the problems that are streaming and flowing over that border, the first thing we have to do is secure it. Job number one.

There is no way that anyone who - besides the folks that want to plain ignore facts - there's no way that anyone can say that by building that wall we are not going to accomplish a more secure border. It's just proven. We can do this.

We can work with anybody. I mean, we passed the 9/11 health bill with Tom Cotton. Most people would assume I wouldn't be able to work with Tom Cotton and Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.

I used to exercise an hour every day - no excuses. I live in absolutes: I either exercise every day, or I let myself off the hook. I'm trying to find that balance of working out three or four days a week and sticking to it.

During the summer of 2009, the debate on health care reform was emotional and intense. At its best, it represented the free exchange of ideas that makes this country great. At its worst, it generated death threats and acts of violence.

Science fiction isn't just thinking about the world out there. It's also thinking about how that world might be - a particularly important exercise for those who are oppressed, because if they're going to change the world we live in, they - and all of us - have to be able to think about a world that works differently.
