I’ve never found the truth to be fair and balanced.

This government is effectively telling the American people to go to Hell.

We know what causes terrorism. Terrorists cause terrorism.

Public education is the great equalizer of America.

I just can't imagine anyone in the United States military who would not understand the distinction between a jihadist and a radical Islamist and Muslims. I think that is snobbery from elitists. It goes to the issue, it seems to me, of an orthodoxy, a political correctness that has infiltrated the U.S. Army.

When we become immobilized by our own inability to deal directly with what is a commonly perceived truth and reality, we are in trouble as a nation.

The United States appears to be a debtor nation in perpetuity.

I'm saying to you that one of the great characteristics of the great American, the American people, is our historic ability to be straightforward, plainspoken, say what we mean, and mean what we say.

We expect a horse race, ... The reality is that competition drives all innovation. Intel did nothing with its 386 chip for five years until AMD introduced its own version in 1991.

We're all confounded by a lack of time.

God bless the Florida Supreme Court.

The idea that a reporter has to be 'fair and balanced' is ridiculous. The fact is, the truth usually is not fair and it's not balanced. Truth stands by itself. And the idea that something called fair and balanced is a substitute for truth and fact is mindless nonsense that has captured much of the national media.

I don't think we need to deal with just one thing. Look at where we are now compared to where we were when he [Barack Obama] walked into office. It's not a happy path.

It is the members of this business elite . . . that pose the greatest danger to our American way of life. They are the ones who've bought and paid for members of both political parties. . . .

I've made it clear in my reporting that we need a rational, effective and humane system. I don't support amnesty, and for that reason amnesty groups attack me. That's fine, it's a free country. Their attacks don't give me too much concern.

My council to Ted [Turner] is that he should watch Fox Business. He'll be elated to find how much substance there is in our news.
