The problem is not that America does not have energy. The problem is that our government – alone among the governments of the world – will not allow its own people to recover the energy...

United States: the country where liberty is a statue.

Right now, we’re working on a script for my life story and two kids coming from Haiti to America. One turns out to be a musician, one is a gangster. That’s all I can say.

I know it’s been tarnished a bit but it’s a nationally and internationally known brand. Remember America West has had its troubles too. And it’s more of a regional name. And I think US Air...

My non American viewers. Who understand that the world does not consist solely of a single nation sailing across an infinite sea of migrant workers. Will no doubt have heard that the waters surrounding Brisbane...
