Remember, President Obama said manufacturing jobs are gone. You need a wand, a magic wand, we found the magic wand because theyre coming and theyre coming fast. I love the fact that wages are rising fastest for the lowest income Americans, percentage-wise. And were now the number one economy anywhere in the world, and its not even close. – President Trump	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
If somebody commits a serious crime -- sexual assault, murder -- they are going to be punished. They may be in jail for 10 years, 20 years, 50 years, their whole lives. That is what happens when you commit a serious crime, but I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people. – Bernie Sanders	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people, so, I believe that people commit crimes, they pay the price. When they got out of jail, I believe they certainly should have the right to vote. But I do believe, even if they are in jail, they are paying their price to society, but [also] that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy. – Bernie Sanders	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
The truth is, immigrants seeking refuge in our country ... shouldnt be a criminal justice issue. – Julin Castro	Found on FOX News 5 years ago

One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives in the United States ... (is) where you start shooting at your allies because one of them has strayed from purity on the issues. And when that happens, typically the overall effort and movement weakens. – President Obama	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
You raise the issue I am a millionaire. Well, actually this year we had $560,000 income, thats a lot of money, and in my case, my wifes case, it came from a book that I wrote. A pretty good book, you might want to read it. Its a best-seller, sold all over the world, and we made money. So, if anyone thinks that I should apologize for writing a best-selling book, Im sorry, Im not going to do it. – Bernie Sanders	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
Since 9/11, weve had terrorist attacks in this country. The majority of them have been right-wing extremists and the majority of those have been white supremacist attacks, from a synagogue in Pittsburgh to a church in South Carolina. And these are white supremacist groups that use language as we saw it, as far away as New Zealand use our presidents language almost as if it is a license for these attacks. – Cory Booker	Found on FOX News 5 years ago

I said what can I do for you folks to create more jobs? and we start talking and the first person gets up and said, Sir, we have many people dying coming across the border and we find dead people from Guatemala, Honduras From El Salvador, from Mexico, all over. You really should cover it right. This has nothing to do with politics. This has nothing to do with campaigning or my campaign. This is totally unexpected that I have you in here. – President Trump	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
Union training opportunities have given me a chance to better my operating engineer. Making more money, building retirement, security and having good health care, this opportunity at this international training center is going to pay my dividends. It has been a great experience. We appreciate what youre doing, President Trump to grow this industry. Thank you. – Brandon Cooper	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
Let me just say how very, very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails, he is the attorney general of the United States of America, not the attorney general of Donald Trump. – Nancy Pelosi	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
There is nobody who knows anything about the situation in Syria who recommends doing this, this is a Christmas gift to Americas enemies. This will help ISIS. This will help Russia. This will help Iran. This will help Bashar Assad and this will hurt Israel and our Kurdish allies. – Donald Trump	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
We did a great job of overthrowing Gaddafi, but they had nothing to secure the country afterward, and there was, I might add, a similar lack of planning for our pullout in the case of Iraq, where there was very little sense of what would happen after U.S. troops left in 2010. We cant think about these as being kind of quick in and out engagements. We send some troops, kill some people and then come back home to a victory parade. Sadly, it doesnt work that way. – Max Boot	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
The reason Republicans hate me so much is because I confront them directly. Their moral -- their lack of moral grounding on so many issues, and, not just that, but the reason they are so upset, and they act like that girl in The Exorcist thats like vomiting pea soup, thats like them and negativity. – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
Were in the post-Obama generation. So, we have already seen a black president, weve already seen a black first family. Now, we want to know what it is going to mean. Symbolism is not enough now. Its substance ... And if there is no substance then weve gotten over the aura of the first. – Al Sharpton	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
In my career, Ive always tried to make a human connection. That is my responsibility, I think, i shake hands, I hug people. I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, You can do this. Now its about taking selfies together. You know, social norms have begun to change. They have shifted, and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset, and I get it. I get it. I hear what they are saying. I understand it. And I will be much more mindful. That is my responsibility. It is my responsibility and I will meet it. – Joe Biden	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
I felt him get closer, he leaned in and he was, like,right behind me on my body, and he leaned down, smells my hair, and then plants this big, long kiss on the top of my head. – Lucy Flores	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
What we have to do to avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change is to cut emissions in half in 12 years, twelve years. Thats the project we have been tasked with by the Earth. Now has come a bold new policy proposal that might be the most controversial thing in American politics at the moment. Youve probably heard about it. Its called the Green New Deal. Some people call it a socialist monster; some people call it our only hope for survival here in the way of life that we hold dear. – Chris Hayes	Found on FOX News 5 years ago
