Yeah, my main goal is not to win. My main goal is to be on the right side and try to make a case and try to pull people over. With that attitude, you can't get hurt because if a door shuts, another door is going to open. That's how I look at it. God's in charge.

Well, up until now, it's been love of country. I mean, I really believe my mission, serve God, serve my country. Being a Republican is not, you know, I'm that way because that's what I believe. But it's more about my beliefs than being part of a team. That's my compass. But you must be exhausted. But it's about serving our country. I love Abraham Lincoln. I love Ike Eisenhower.

I love Ronald Reagan. I love people who... I love Winston Churchill. I love people who've made a difference and stood... You know, if I think about my favorite leaders, they were unpopular...

Suddenly by 1940, they go, that's the only guy that knows what's going on here. And he became unpopular again, by the way, by the late 40s. But those are the people I admire that they follow a compass. And I want to get things done. The 118th Congress, of all 435 congressmen, I got the most bills passed and signed into law, nine laws. In the 117th Congress, I was number two of 435 congressmen.

I feel like I'm having an impact, and that's brought me back. Now, two years ago, I debated about running again, and I couldn't let... One of my Democratic opponents was going to get back in the ring, and I felt like I had to...

I needed to show them I can win and defeat both of them.
