I guess maybe the only time I met George Wallace was when - at a boy scout meeting in Montgomery, and he met 10 or 15 of us from different areas. I'm not sure why I was there.
Jeff Sessions

We should create an America in which it's - we can - Americans have a better chance to progress wages and job prospects, and we can do that.
