Conservatism Means Re-embracing True Free Enterprise. True Free Enterprise, Which I Believe And Not Because My Parents Were Wealthy, Not Because I Inherited Millions Of Dollars Because I Did Not, But Because As I Walked On To The Stage Here Today, I Walked Through The Kitchen Of This Hotel And I Met People And Shook The Hands Of People Who Are Doing The Jobs My Parents Once Did.

Cubans Who Arrive And Can Prove That They Are Refugees Who Are Truly Fleeing Political Persecution Will Continue To Qualify As Refugees.

No. 1, It [amnesty For Illegal Aliens] Demoralizes The People That Are Going Through The Legal Process. It's A Very Clear Signal That Why Go Through The Legal Process If You Can Accomplish The Same Thing Through The Illegal Process? And No. 2, It Demoralizes The People Enforcing The Law.

Some Have Become More Critical Than Others; For Example, The Submarines. And That's The Ohio Class Submarine That Needs To Be Modernized. The Air Component Also Needs To Be Modernized.

They Are Asking To Be Given The Right To Declare Bankruptcy, Which I Think Should Be An Option, As A Last Resort, If There Is No Other Resource.

Isis Is Winning The Propaganda War. They Are Recruiting People, Including Americans, To Join Them, With The Promise That They Are Joining This Great Apocalyptic Movement That Is Going To Defeat The West.

Bashar Assad Has Been So Brutal Toward The Sunni Within Syria That He Created The Space That Led To The People Of Syria Themselves To Stand Up And Try To Overthrow Him. That Led To The Chaos Which Allowed Isis To Come In And Take Advantage Of That Situation And Grow More Powerful.

You Know, Now That I Come To Think Of It, The Blizzard May Be The Best Thing To Happen To The American Economy In 12 Months.

The Terrorists That Attacked Us In San Bernardino Was An American Citizen, Born And Raised In This Country. And I Bet You We Wish We Would Have Had Access To Five Years Of His Records So We Could See Who He Was Working With...

I Think Media Think It's Going To Be Good For Ratings, And, Two, Because They Know They Have A Lot Of Material To Work With. If Donald Trump Were To Ever Become The Nominee, Immediately, The Hounds Of Hell Would Descend On Him. They're Going To Tear Him Apart, Everything He's Ever Done, From Not Releasing His Taxes, To All Of His Failed Business Dealings.

If We Capture Any Of These Isis Killers Alive, They Are Going To Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, And We're Going To Find Out Everything They Know, Because When I'm President, Unlike Barack Obama, We Will Keep This Country Safe.

We Are A People That Have Always Celebrated Other People's Success So Long As We Always Had The Opportunity To Meet That Success Ourselves. That Is The American Nature. That Is The American Character. That Is One Of The Things That Makes Us Different From The Rest Of The World. And I'm Afraid We Could Lose That Or Are On The Verge Of Losing That.

After All, The U.s. Senate Already Has One Arlen Specter Too Many.

Big Government Doesn't Help The Middle Class, It Buries It.

First, Undoubtedly, There Are Some People Who Are Coming From Cuba Who Immediately, Or From Any Other Country, Benefit. But, What Is The Difference Between That And Someone Who Is Coming From Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Etc.? That Is, We Are Simply Going To Say That Someone Who Comes From Another Country To The United States - The First Five Years They're Here - They Don't Qualify For Federal Benefits. They May Benefit From Local Benefits, State Benefits. Those Decisions Belong To Other Jurisdictions.

If I Thought That Raising The Minimum Wage Was The Best Way To Help People Increase Their Pay, I Would Be All For It, But It Isn't. If You Raise The Minimum Wage, You're Going To Make People More Expensive Than A Machine. And That Means All This Automation That's Replacing Jobs And People Is Only Going To Be Accelerated.

The Only Guy That Speaks At Any Sort Of Depth Is, In My Mind, Eminem. He's A Guy That Does Music That Talks About The Struggles Of Addiction And Before That Violence, With Growing Up In A Broken Family, Not Being A Good Enough Father. So, You Know That's What I Enjoy About It. It's Harder To Listen To Than Ever Before Because I Have A Bunch Of Kids And You Just Can't Put It On.

Religious Freedom Is Often Referred To As America's First Freedom. Our Country Was Founded By Religious Exiles And Built On The Belief That God Has Given All People Certain Inalienable Rights. Government's Role In Society Is To Protect These Rights And Ensure That We Are Safe From Religious Persecution And Discrimination.

The Government Doesn't Run The Economy. The Economy Is Run By The Private Sector. The Job Of The President Is To Ensure We [the State] Have Policies That Allow The Private Sector To Grow And Prosper.

Americans Believe With All Their Heart, The Vast Majority Of Them, And The Vast Majority Of Floridians, That The United States Of America Is Simply The Single Greatest Nation In All Of Human History.

There Are Going To Be Stories Of Very Young Kids That Were Brought To This Country At A Very Young Age Who Don't Even Speak Spanish That Are Going To Be Sent Back To Nicaragua Or Some Other Place. And It's Gonna Feel Weird And I Understand That. The Goal Here Is To Have An Immigration Policy That Works. And If You Provide A Path For People To Enter This Country Illegally And If They Stay Here Long Enough And Pay Enough In Taxes, Well Let Them Stay Legally...why Would Anyone Come In Through The Legal Process?

These Terrorists Aren't Trying To Kill Us Because We Offended Them. They Attack Us Because They Want To Impose Their View Of The World On As Many People As They Can, And America Is Standing In Their Way.

I Love The People Of Venezuela. I Want That Country To Have Freedom. I Want It To Have Human Rights And To Be Banned By A Dictator Like Nicolas Maduro Is, To Me, A Badge Of Honor.

I've Got A Record In Florida. I'm Proud Of My Dad, And I'm Certainly Proud Of My Brother. In Florida, They Called Me Jeb, Because I Earned It.

Conservatism Has Never Been About Fear Or About Anger. Not At Its Best. Do People Have A Right To Be Fearful Of The Future Right Now? Yes, Because For Over Two Decades, Leaders In Neither Party Have Solved The Problems Before Us.

There Is One Way, Only One Way To Solve It, And That Is Through Legislation. It Cannot Be Through An Unconstitutional Executive Order That Violates The Constitution. That Is, It Doesn't Matter Here What You Think About Immigration: Here You Cannot Violate The Nation's Constitution, Period.

I Haven't Thought About Aspirations For The Future. I Like Politics, I Like Serving The Public, And We'll See If God Offers Us Another Opportunity In The Future.

I Believe God Has Blessed Our Country. This Country Has Been Extraordinarily Blessed.

I'm Running For President Because There's No Way We Can Elect Hillary Clinton To Continue The Policies.

And So, Whether They Came Here On The Mayflower, On A Slave Ship, Or On An Airplane From Havana, We Are All Descendants Of The Men And Women Who Built Here The Nation That Saved The World.

Donald Trump Refused To Outline A Health Care Plan. And They Just Kind Of Moved On, Instead Of Pressing Him On It. He Gave A Ridiculous Answer On The National Debt. And They Moved On Without Pressing Him On It. No Other Candidate Could Have Gotten Away With That. So, I Think There's A Weird Bias Here In The Media Rooting For Donald Trump, Because They Know He's The Easiest Republican To Beat.

We Don't Need New Taxes. We Need New Taxpayers, People That Are Gainfully Employed, Making Money And Paying Into The Tax System. And Then We Need A Government That Has The Discipline To Take That Additional Revenue And Use It To Pay Down The Debt And Never Grow It Again.

This Is The Most Generous Country In The World When It Comes To Immigration. There Are A Million People A Year Who Legally Immigrate To The United States, And People Feel Like We're Being Taken Advantage Of.

No Community Values Entrepreneurship And Small Business More Than The Hispanic Community.

Entrepreneurship

There's Never Going To Be A Time Where The Republican Party Rallies Around And Says You Have To Get Out Or Anyone Has To Get Out For Purposes Of Rallying Around Donald Trump.

My Dad Was A Bartender That Worked Banquets. So That Meant Holidays, Weekends, Nights.

Let's Stop Talking About New Taxes And Start Talking About Creating New Taxpayers, Which Basically Means Jobs.

Aren't We In The Midst Of A Blitzkrieg, For A Lack Of A Better Term, Of Informational Warfare Conducted By Russian Trolls Under The Command Of Vladimir Putin?

We Are Getting Thousands And Thousands Of Professionals, Very Highly-trained People, From Puerto Rico Who Are Now Living In Florida, And Who Have Obviously Contributed A Lot To This State, But The Island Is Losing That Population.

Our Country Has A Lot Of Problems. When The World Looks At How Bad The United States Is And Then We Go Talk About Civil Liberties, I Do Not Think We Are A Very Good Messenger. I Don't Know That We Have A Right To Lecture. We Are Not In A Position To Be More Aggressive. We Have To Fix Our Own Mess.

And Yet, There Are Still People In American Politics Who, For Some Reason, Cling To This Belief That America Is Better Off Adopting The Economic Policies Of Nations Whose People Who Immigrate Here From There.

This Is The Only Country In The World Where Today's Employee, Is Tomorrow's Employer.

And I Can Tell You That History Will Back Up What I'm About To Say And That Is That There Is No Government Run By Conservatives, Republicans, Put Whoever You Want There, If You Give Government The Opportunity To Spend More Money Than It Has, It Will Do It. It Will Do It Every Time.

I Think What's Important For Us To Understand And There Is A Way Forward On This Issue That We An Bring Our Country Together On. And While I'm President I Will Do It. And It Will Begin By Bringing Illegal Immigration Under Control And Proving To The American People.

I Do Think The Most Important Thing We Need In Leadership In Our Country, Not Just In The Presidency But In The United States Senate, Are People That Have A Clear Vision Of What The Role Of Government Should Be In Our Lives And What The Role Of America Should Be In The World.

This Guy [donald Trump] Has Not Offered A Single Serious Policy Proposal, Which Is Important If You Want To Be President Of The United States. And Hillary Clinton Is Going To Have Clear Shot To The Oval Office. And So I Think There Are Many Out There That Are Rooting For That Outcome, So That He's The Nominee. And You Can See It In The Coverage He's Gotten.
