I am very concerned that we have given up capabilities and methodologies that have worked in the past. I know they work and I'm concerned because in the future we may need these. So while it is the prerogative of the president to make that decision, I am concerned that in the future we may miss these and we may need them to protect American lives. ↗

I have 5 children of my own. They are bilingual, like most second and third generations. But they speak primarily in English and they couldn't find anything on television that represented who they are in this country. ↗

I was from such a large family that when I first met my wife, I told her: 'You can go work outside of the house and I'll stay home and continue making my cartoon strips. Maybe I'll make some commercials nearby, you know I'll do anything locally, but I would love to just stay at home and raise the kids like I did when I was growing up.' ↗
