I now sit at the table in a variety of ways with the House leadership... as we go through taking a look at threat assessments and hot spots around the world. It's a national position, but certainly I don't forget that New Jersey has a critical part of national defense.
We seek the right to play our part in advancing the cause of national defense and national unity. But certainly, there can be no true national unity where one-tenth of the population is denied their basic rights as American citizens.

I think that we're always gonna be in a position as Republicans and as conservatives where we gotta be willing to stand up for our conservative values.

That's the National Guard's National Guard, an Army of None.
