“We have got to get rid of the Federal Reserve and move toward a gold standard in this country.”

“We have courts overturning the will of the people in state after state on issues like gay marriage and if you are — God forbid — for traditional marriage and refuse to bake the cake, you are chastised as a bigot.”

“I am not an expert on monetary policy.”
