This country is a republic.

I try to avoid political ties.

I'm pretty darn happy with my day job.

The government is promoting bad behavior.

Challenging leaders is as American as it gets.

I like free markets, but I do like fair markets.

At the end of the day, the markets are my passion.

People in charge of intelligence are political as well.

How many of you people want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage?

How about we all stop paying our mortgages! It's a moral hazard.

I believe there's only one regulation in life that works: failure.

There's so much compromise in politics. I'm not a good compromiser.

There's not a lot of wealth throughout all the country shared equally.

The president doesn't hold all the cards. The cards are evenly split up!

We all know deep inside that no country is the same as it was 5 years ago.

The markets are the world's greatest Rubik's cube. And I love solving puzzles.

I don't even look at gold as gold anymore. Gold is just another piece of paper.

A republic and a democracy are pretty much identical, pretty much on every level.

I don't think that there is a beer summit in the cards for me at the White House.

The jobs outlook in the U.S. isn't very good. And it's really about young people.

Around 1999, CNBC offered me a full-time post, and I'm the happiest I've ever been.

What about stocks? You got to buy them. What if they break? You have to buy the dips.

Markets are unforgiving, and sometimes they move for reasons we can't possibly foresee.

If the country is ever attacked as it was on 9/11, we all respond with a sense of urgency.

You need more people to perpetuate a myth because if the people stop the myth is known to all.

The issue is, you're not going to have a lot of inflation showing up when you have no velocity.

People ask me if I'm the father of the Tea Party movement... I was the spark... that started it.

One thing that served me well with clients was that you back your winners and you back your losers.

People with 401(k)s need to be very conservative. Picking bottoms should be for insiders and traders.

When it comes to policies of central bankers, the biggest systemic risk we have... are those policies.

The unique thing about our country is that we don't get behind politicians, politicians get behind us.

Working with Russia, we worked with Iran. Are they our friends? You have to take each situation uniquely.

If being the lightning rod that started the Tea Party is what's written on my tombstone, I'll be very happy.

Let me see the 'Cuban missiles on the island' picture. Trump needs to see it before networks need to see it.

I think hacking's important. Most Americans should worry about it no matter what side of the aisle you're on.

Government is promoting bad behavior... Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages? This is America!

No, traditions and norms aren't rules in the Constitution. There's a difference between a tradition and a law.

I don't believe anyone should ignore all the fires around you and stand pat and not worry about getting singed.

I started trading around 1979, fresh out of college. In the early '90s, I started guesting for major news media.

I remember I had a professor in college. I wrote a great paper. Could never please this guy. But it made me better.

I have a daughter for a while that didn't have insurance. She gets a different price than people who have insurance.

I've talked about commodity price volatility in the past: go back to the tape... I never said it was about inflation.

This is America. And we've basically invented the computer, and we should invent ways to protect all those that use it.

I come from immigrant grandparents. The country would not be what it is if it wasn't for the immigrants in this country.

I think it is a mistake for candidates, or once they get elected in office, to be dwelling too much on the topic of markets.

I've said from day one, when Donald Trump gets in there, he's going to make an equal number of Republicans unhappy as Democrats unhappy.

Our society, our culture - the greatness of America - goes hand-in-hand with energy, and our leaders need to wake up. We need energy, OK?

Most of the mainstream coverage of most of the crisis - the economy, the road to get here, and the Tea Party - has been very much lacking.

It seems to me that any reason for people getting more active in running or taking part in politics and government I think is just terrific.

I think health care is a mess. I think that, as a free market person, you can't even have that discussion unless you know what the service costs.
