On Joe Biden's impeachment inquiry:

This is part of the reason why I thought it was important that we do this Newsom debate -- obviously, there's a lot of Democrats that want to remove him. They understand the liabilities. They understand his bad policies. I think he is not willing to step down at this point. But who knows what's going to happen? And I think this inquiry is justified. I think it should have been done long ago. He's got so many issues that are clouding his presidency. He clearly would not be a great candidate for the Democrats. So Republicans, we need to be ready for whoever they pull out of the hat. Newsom has been waiting in the wings.

On his debate with Gavin Newsom and the importance of future debates:

The reaction that I've gotten has been incredible in terms of obviously being able to show that freedom works and the California model's a failure and what that means for the country, but people appreciated the way you set it up. And they said it was the most substantive debate that they've seen in this entire election cycle. And so kudos to you for doing it. I know he had challenged me, and you asked me to do it. So I'm glad we were able to get that done. And just know, if you want to do other debates, Nikki Haley and me, I'm in. Donald Trump and me, I'm in. So just say the word. You've shown that you can do it in a way that I think really helps the voter. So I'm game, just let me know.

On what is at stake for voters in 2024:

We have a government that's actively working against hardworking Americans. They're working hard. They can't get ahead because of inflation, interest rates, Bidenomics, the bureaucracy. We have an open border, where 8 million people have come since Biden has been president, from all over the world, including the Middle East. We know that there are potential terrorists that have come in. That's made the American people less safe, less secure. We have fentanyl pouring into our communities. We have cities that are collapsing, San Francisco, Los Angeles, but also Philly, Chicago, all these places where obviously cities have always had issue, but they're becoming unlivable. So you have all these issues that are compounding... I think we can reverse this decline, Sean, but 2024 is make or break.
