Ben Shapiro, Author and Columnist, On Congress:
 
 

“Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., promised Americans that when they took over Congress in 2006, they'd restore accountability and transparency. 

“They didn't say anything about intelligence. 

“When the current Democratic Congress isn't busy shoehorning financial giveaways to their union friends and business partners, when they're not busy ramming unread, horribly written thousand-page bills into law, they're busy on matters of vital import like resolutions praising Michael Jackson and pricey vacation ‘investigations.’ They're bad — they're bad — and they know it.”

Brent Bozell, Author, Syndicated Columnist, Founder and President, Media Research Center, On ABC’s “Prescription for America” Townhall on Healthcare — From the East Room of the White House:
 
 

“ABC News has abandoned all pretense of journalistic integrity in its bid to be the administration’s official salesman for ObamaCare… this ‘news special’ becomes nothing more than an extended infomercial designed to scare and manipulate the American people into supporting a trillion-dollar government takeover of the highest quality health care system in the world.”

On the Nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court:
 
 

“In a previous Forbes column, I decried President Barack Obama's insistence that empathy would weigh heavily in the scales when it came to his next Supreme Court nominee. And reading the arguments that were put forth to justify the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor of the Second Circuit to the Supreme Court, it appears that all the bad chickens have come home to roost. 

“Evidently, the characteristics that matter most for a potential nominee to the Supreme Court have little to do with judicial ability or temperament, or even so ephemeral a consideration as a knowledge of the law. Instead, the tag line for this appointment says it all. The president wants to choose ‘a daughter of Puerto Rican parents raised in Bronx public housing projects to become the nation's first Hispanic justice.’”

On Calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a Terrorist Group:
 
 

"The Trump administration has served the Iranian people and the cause of truth by dubbing the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist group.

The IRGC uses violence and economic leverage to achieve authoritarian ends. Calling them terrorists is salutary candor. The designation also serves the cause of peace.

The IRGC controls vast swathes of Iran's economy from the energy industry to telecommunications. This gives the IRGC control over a feudal system with which to distribute resources to its supporters and fund its aggression. But it's worse than that. Because the IRGC manages its business interests poorly and with disregard for the public interest, its feudalism has turned Iran's economy into an inefficient behemoth. Preventing market entry and competition, the IRGC ensures that it is the necessary one-stop shop for individuals and businesses alike.

President Trump's action on Monday changes that for the better. When the terrorist designation goes into effect next week, the Iranian government knows that foreign corporations will be reluctant to sign new business deals. They'll fear U.S. sanctions."

On Speaker Pelosi's Delaying Tactics:
 
 

"It looks like Pelosi is going to delay sending over the articles of impeachment, which is a really bad idea. One, this is not a way to exercise leverage over McConnell, because he doesn't care to have the articles sent over in the first place. Two, it's bizarre to try to force the Senate to fight to get witnesses that the House didn't make much of an effort to get itself. Three, this contradicts the argument that impeachment was such an urgent necessity that it had to be rushed. Four, it will make impeachment look even more partisan and political. Five, it is exactly the wrong tack to win over those Republicans who might be persuadable on witness like Romney and Collins. Besides all that, it's a brilliant idea."
