On Immigration: There are common sense solutions, but pols have to sell them

What's happening at the border is an absolute crisis. There's ways to solve the problem, there's ways to actually improve and streamline legal immigration, have more people coming in… We need people that are willing to go out there and sell some of these ideas. It's hard to explain how you solve immigration and the border crisis in 280 characters, but it requires people to go out and make that case, and explain these common sense solutions to these complicated problems.

On Education: First Republican to say that slavery is not a jobs program

I was the first Republican to come out and say that slavery is not a jobs program, and anybody that is implying that there was an upside to slavery is insane. And what is even more shocking to me is that Ron DeSantis' department of education doubled down on this. Ron DeSantis has doubled down on this multiple times and then he wants to blame the people that wrote this and say, "I wasn't the one that wrote this."

On Principles & Values: Character matters; service matters; US has a world role

I was there to talk to the people that believe in personal responsibility, that believe character matters, that believe service matters, that believes that the United States has a role in the world and it's important to us back here at home. And also to prove to the rest of the field that we're running for an election, and if you're afraid to talk about Donald Trump or talk about his baggage, then you're not ready to be president of the United States.
