On Civil Rights: Arizona data showed Biden win was statistically impossible

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani urged the Republican legislators to get to the bottom of the fraud, asserting that "You also had numerous situations of your workers, your citizens, observing the poll officials helping people vote to the point of telling them who to vote for. "Poll workers being observed changing votes, taking ambiguous votes and making sure they were cast for Biden," Giuliani said.

Also at the hearing, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, the famed scientist and engineer with various MIT degrees, presented data showing that the only way for Biden to have statistically caught up with President Trump in Arizona was if Democrat votes came in at 130 percent for Biden and -30 percent for the president.

[In Arizona, Joe Biden received 1,672,143 votes (49.4%), to Donald Trump's 1,661,686 votes (49.1%), and the Libertarian Party's Jo Jorgensen receiving 51,465 votes (1.5%) - ed.]

On Environment: Real problem is not climate change but pollution

When it comes to the environment and the issue of "climate change" the REAL PROBLEM is pollution and the REAL SOLUTION is clean air, clean water, and clean food. Distractions from that goal divide us from our common purpose for a CLEAN America. Focusing on clean air, clean water, and clean food, directing our united efforts to lowering pollution, and inspiring our youth, entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers to innovate is how we come together to solve the REAL PROBLEM of the environment.

On Government Reform: Pledges to serve one term, not focus on re-election

Career politicians exist to serve themselves, not America and not YOU. They spend 80% of their time after election to get re-elected, and the remaining 20% on legislation to pay back those who funded their election. I will serve one-term, 100% for you, and I will push forward legislation for your long-term interests, not my re-election.

On Immigration: Borders need to be strong, laws need to be enforced

Secure America. Strong Borders. Enforce Laws. Discover Root Causes of Violence.

Career politicians neither want real security for Americans nor do they want to discover the root causes of violence. Borders need to be strong, laws need to be enforced, and policies to stop violence must come from real research to ensure lasting and real solutions.

On Energy & Oil: Climate change cause irrelevant; focus on solutions

He says it doesn't matter whether climate change is caused by human activity -- as the vast majority of climate scientists have concluded -- because it's more important for the country to focus on developing solutions, through engineering and entrepreneurship, to curb its effects.

On Immigration: Path to citizenship for those here with clean records

On immigration, he says the country must have a system based on law and order -- a common Republican refrain -- but also wants to see a path to citizenship for those who have been living in the country under a broken immigration system, as long as they have broken no laws.

On Civil Rights: Affirmative action hasn't helped most blacks

Affirmative action was a gain from people fighting on the streets, but what resulted was not the liberation of large numbers of minorities. It created a pencil thin strata of minority bourgeoisie, and that bourgeoisie frankly became Uncle Toms. They didn't advance the cause of African Americans; they really wanted to keep their own people on the plantations.

That's why people were so hopeful for Obama, but what really happened was more segregation, more separation between blacks and whites. The average situation of a black male today is worse than before Civil Rights, on many, many levels. Affirmative action was a bone that they threw to quell the mass protests. The right solution is to enable people to unleash their own creativity and their own innovation.
