There are nothing but hardliners in Iran.
Hillary Clinton exposed our nation's most sensitive national security secrets to foreign adversaries.
Early on, when my wife and I were dating, we went to the grocery store, and I told her that sometimes I just buy birthday cakes, and I eat them. And she said: 'Really? I do, too.'
I don't do stairs. And I don't do groups.
We have to remain vigilant, and we have to continue to take the fight to the terrorist.
We only have one president and one secretary of state, but our founding fathers very clearly insisted that Congress play a significant role in foreign policy.
The Middle East and South Asia have a lot less in common with America than 18-year-old kids in Boston have with 18-year-old kids in Arkansas.
The Iranian people, if you look at their demographics and their level of education, could be a strong source for stability in the Middle East. The problem is they're run by an apocalyptic cult of ayatollahs.
I think that the public debate that we had on the Iran deal was very important. That's probably one of the most consequential things most of us will ever vote on ; a nuclear arms control agreement with a mortal enemy. And the White House - despite all their efforts - failed miserably.
I'll tell you the truth, even in an election year, and that's what people are ready for.
At Harvard College, I discovered political philosophy as a way of life.
As a senator, I play an important role in crafting foreign policy.
We're simply trying to say that Congress has a constitutional role to approve any deal, to make sure that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. Not today, not tomorrow, not ten years from now.
Donald Trump may occasionally say things that are controversial or even objectionable to some, but those are words.
I run a lot every morning.
You never know what kind of challenges are going to be thrown in your way or opportunities will arise.
As a Republican Party, we're going to have to have a conversation about it. But I think, ultimately, a majority of Republicans, like a majority of Americans, don't want to let violent felons out of prison.
When he was running, my thinking was, 'I can't believe my governor is running for president.' By the end of Clinton's first year in office, I was like, 'Wow, I must not be a Democrat.'
If we had maintained a small, residual force in Iraq, I don't think the Islamic State would have risen to power as it has.
I think that Americans - and this is not true just now, but over the years - are not fundamentally opposed to war. They're fundamentally opposed to losing wars.
I think it's important that the Republican Party remain the home of conservatives and that the best way to advance conservative principles is to elect Republicans up and down the ballot.
Inflammatory passion and selfish interest characterizes most men, whereas ambition characterizes men who pursue and hold national office. Such men rise from the people through a process of self-selection, since politics is a dirty business that discourages all but the most ambitious.
Donald Trump can ultimately make the case for himself.
It's the job of the president to negotiate, but it's the job of Congress to approve.
I'm very proud and happy to be serving the people of Arkansas and the Senate, and I look forward to continue to serve them.
Given the devastation that crime can visit on families and communities, I will err on being a little too tough on crime than being too soft on crime.
I learned one of the very important lessons in life in the 9/11 attacks. It's good to have a plan for your future; it's even better to write your plan in pencil.
Most of who's left in the administration now are all these yes men and fanboys who were van drivers or press flacks for Barack Obama in Iowa and New Hampshire in 2008.
Teenagers are kinda the same wherever you find them in America.
Unlike President Obama, I would say that I support the long-standing bipartisan post-war belief that American global strength and leadership secures our national-security interests, and it also promotes order and stability in the world. And it gives us immense influence in the world and deters our adversaries and reassures our allies.
Two-thirds of the American people realize just how bad the nuclear deal is with Iran.
I've said all along: I'll support the nominee, because we can't afford another term of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy or, for that matter, economic policy at home.
Ambition characterizes and distinguishes national officeholders from other kinds of human beings.
