Quote

Donald Trump, when he gives his speeches, talks like a populist. And he talks to middle class and working America and poor people. But when he governs, at least in his first 40 days, he governs like a hard-right guy.

When I started to get involved in the crime issue, people said, it's a local issue. I said, No, there are lots of ways the federal government can help. And the best way the federal government can help, and did in the Crime Bill, is to find programs that work around the country and help them spread.
