On Crime: Rehab, not prison, for low-level offenders

The local judges now are not sending everybody to prison when they're a low offender. And I want to thank the judge, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, because we work with judges to bring rational thinking into this and to keep them in the local community where they can be rehabbed, get their life back, and the public can be safe. We have now the lowest entry into our state prisons in 27 years. It's starting to work.

On Principles & Values: Respect for secular humanists

The humanists in our country are the ones who have charted a course based on reason--human reason. And they wake up every day with a goal. Their goal is to improve the world. Their goal is to make the world a better place. But these secular humanists follow that code, and they do great. And many of my friends are secular humanists, and I respect them for it. But as for me, and maybe for some of us, we need to go deeper. We need to have a more permanent compass.
