In my Senate retirement speech in 2017 I quoted Teddy Roosevelt: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President..is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” washingtonpost.com/video/pol…
As I said in this speech in the Senate Chamber in 2018: “The President has it precisely backward - despotism is the enemy of the people. The free press is the despot's enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy.”youtube.com/watch?v=F478MIFu…
Arizona has lost a giant. Jon Kyl was one of the most diligent and effective public servants Arizona has ever had. I was honored to follow him in the U.S. Senate, where his example of seriousness, integrity and devotion to public service was known to all. Cheryl and I send our deepest condolences to Caryll and the entire Kyl family. kjzz.org/politics/2026-09-17…

“I look back over the past few decades and the only time we've really had good fiscal discipline is when we've had divided government.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
