❝And I think that vignette that you're recounting, Sean, typifies what's wrong with our politics right now. You don't see anyone reaching across the aisle. You don't see bipartisanship. You don't see people trying to build for the future. You see people playing to the social media mobs in order to increase their likes and maybe fundraising. And that's the nihilism that has taken over American politics.

❝None of the ideas of postmodern liberalism ever produce outcomes, and that's why the left has got to dig in deeper and deeper and make alliances with Islamic radicals that coddle, that fetishize, and DSA types that coddle, fetishize, align themselves with the Nazis of the Middle East and with people who want to tear down the economy.

❝The left depends on there being permanent victim classes, right?

❝So, I think that ideally politicians would start being honest about what is causing this problem.

❝But I think that the starting point here is that Republicans are going to have to level with voters, and it would be helpful, to put it mildly, if we aren't pretending that an enormous tax increase on labor in the form of this payroll tax expansion for Social Security should be the starting point for some kind of reform here.

❝Here's Justice Kagan speaking at an event this week at Catholic University Law School in Washington, D.C. I think in the gerrymandering case, the court... has kind of blinded itself to the very deleterious effects of their rulings on how the political system works and has created a democracy that does not work as well as it should.

❝Next year's proposed national budget slashes 43 billion euros from the country's spending. The reason these massive cuts are needed is because the country's debt is ballooning out of control.

❝He said that for a big portion of France's debt, they should just basically, quote, throw it in the fire.

❝And for their efforts, they were, you know, tossed out of office in no confidence votes by a political opposition that's really, really fragmented.

❝So, when you say that you're all outraged about the dirtiness of politics, about the ugliness of power, you're so full of crap. You are so full of crap, it's coming at your eyeballs.

❝The treatment of mental illness, the treatment of involuntary commitment in this country is wildly, I think, incorrect. I think that we have to take a very serious look.

❝Back in America, Trump, MAGA, and Fox drove them nuts. Then social media convinced them that Europe would cure their anxiety because that's where people were brilliant, sophisticated, and modest, just like them. But it turns out the same problems they thought they'd left behind had followed them like a wet fart trails Jerry Nadler.

❝So, yesterday, when asked if she married her brother, Ilhan Omar responded, not to my knowledge. But I get it. You know, maybe he married her by accident. After all, this is what you wore on their first date. Could happen to anyone.

❝It has become very confusing to see why we as pro-lifers who believe that abortion is murder, who understand what a heinous thing it is and what a horrible thing it is for mothers who do it, how much grief, guilt they suffer, why we wouldn’t want to give that child justice. And it is a compassion that has gone too far.

❝Well, that means that you don't actually consider the child in the womb at the same level that you would consider a newborn or a toddler. Because if thousands of toddlers were being slaughtered every day by their mothers, predominantly, you would not feel, well, let’s take another 10 years and educate the culture before we try to legally stop it. No one would say that. No one would think that.

❝Legislators will pass what the people that support them tell them to pass. And so because the pro-life organizations have allowed them to pass lesser bills, that's what they're going to do. They're always going to take the path of least resistance.

❝But I think the best place to start, as I was thinking about how to pull this all together, is to just remind everybody of what the official narrative is regarding Tyler Robinson. And I'm putting that in air quotations for a reason.

❝I do not accept the messages are legitimate just on the basis of common sense. I am happy to be proven wrong.

❝All I know is I want my people to be honest. And if they're not going to be honest, they have to be prosecuted. I don't know about it specifically, but because I view it, people are not honest, they're stealing from me. As president, they're stealing from me. So I want my people to be honest.

❝I can tell you this: if my mother ever made those statements, I have a mother. I had a mother who's up there right now looking down. Mary McLeod dropped. If she ever made statements like that about me, you and your fake station would have it front row center.

❝Donald Trump said that, in fact, Americans love the war in Iran. You are a patriot if you love the war. And many great patriots don't just like the war, they love what's going on right now. They love the war, he says.

❝Yeah, look, I'll say, I think the media is, in this sense, rooting against Donald Trump and his election.

❝We all know Vladimir Putin is evil.

❝And in the answer that he gave, that we played on ABC, he was basically telling the American people it's about time that we all wake up and realize that Israel is not a friend.

❝New Mexico has finally put a price tag on the left's psychological grief over Hillary Clinton losing.

❝We’ve won, ladies and gentlemen. The Iranian regime has been deprived of its oil revenue and its ability to finance terrorism and pay its internal thugs, or really anyone else.

❝This year, I feel like the rules are fucked up enough that even though I'm not legally entailed to vote, guess what? I'm voting.

❝Our birth certificate is not the declaration of compromise, it is the declaration of independence. And a true independent is not a fence-sitter, Mr. Mrs. in between. I don't know how I feel.

❝He ran against Trump for president in 2016. He warned so many times against Trump as president, but once Trump was in power, Graham just got closer and got more closer so that he could have influence. And then he became one of the most influential senators while those who continue to oppose Trump are no longer there or are leaving.

❝Presidents have policy preferences, and if Congress can't do anything to enact them, presidents will take action on their own because that's why they're in the job, right?

❝I just find it hard to believe that a person elected to the highest office in the country, the most powerful perch to be on, is going to be like, oh, oh, no, please, I don't need that.

❝Do I think that Elon is throttling Ukraine’s ability to use the satellite internet. And that is resulting in the deaths of innocent Ukrainian kids. Yeah, I clearly think that's true.

❝Like, Marco, even if he did run as a normie Republican again, he has shown his true colors, which is he’s enthusiastically throwing Ukraine under the bus.

❝Obviously, Democrats win. I think they're going to have, I'm going to say, have a 10 or 15 seat margin, which is good.

❝You know where I am on Trump. I think he's an utterly horrible human being. But I really have believed the past year and a half that he's rapidly losing his mind.

❝But like, this is all on him. His stupid illegal tariffs, his stupid, illegal war, I would say, his cruel illegal mass deportations. He has single-handedly fucked up the economy. It's all on him.

❝Donald Trump has no fucking core. There's no governing philosophy. He doesn't believe in things. Trump believes in Trump.

❝So, let me give you a quote from Roe Khanna, who is a prospective presidential candidate, maybe. He's kind of a socialist California congressman, pretends to be more modern in his thinking, but really just has a bunch of antiquated ideas. This is what he says when he sees what's happening there. This is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.

❝She was speaking at the University of Chicago, and she said that she wanted to basically engage in the type of lawfare that makes young people scared to go work for a Republican administration. And she was pretty explicit about it: that she wants people to be scared to serve in the executive branch if they are not of her political view, that it wouldn’t be worth their trouble to endure what she and her compatriots will put them through.

❝I hit him with a hammer. You know, I got pissed off. Yeah, I hit him upside the head with a hammer.

❝This is the reveal that I've been holding off on doing for five years. You know, it's been a game of cat and mouse with the internet. And to be honest, it feels great.

❝I mean, the DIA came out and said, Israel is spying on our government officials. They are an espionage threat.

❝So I guess my name is all over this controversy on X, the typical X drama, because I didn't release a certain episode, and that episode is this woman, the Leah Files, who I didn't release it because personally, I think she is a total fraud and full of shit.

❝And it's got to be tough for them, I mean, to be at that age and realize, you know, to come to terms with everything you've ever been told is a fucking crocodile bullshit. I mean, that would be tough.

❝As long as they lose, we're going to be fine, guys. No, but I'm serious.

❝So a lot of people not going and voting because they were being told that maybe the difference between the two parties wasn't significant and voting doesn't matter and voting against this very dangerous leader wasn't that significant. And so they didn't vote for the alternative and we got Trump.

❝I am going to make a very big announcement about the former future daughter-in-law of the president being kicked out of her position because of corruption.

❝And Trump saying, if you care about this issue, I don't want your support anymore, was the first fissure. It was the first crack. Not January. January 6th did not have that effect. It did not. It did not have that effect.

❝Denial has been one of the core traits, the default mode, you could say, of Donald Trump's presidency. Denial is the grease in the machinery that keeps it all turning: the abuses of power, the self-dealing, the bulldozing of our civic life. Donald Trump lives in a realm of alternative facts. But sooner or later, the actual facts will impinge on Donald Trump.

❝They were elated to see how non-white Trump's coalition was, how diverse it was.

❝When describing Democrat politicians, I've used mildly uncharitable language. Certain words have been thrown around, words like demons, Satanists, perverts, degenerates, bastards, morons, half-wits, imbeciles, freaks.

❝I've been threatened so many times to my face by MAGA, we'll call them.

❝It makes me sad what the Republicans in the State House have done to our rural communities.

❝And we, you know, as conservatives look at that and we say, wait a second, like the problem is within the community. The problem is not the government. The problem is not the culture. The problem is not the history.

❝I think that this country is built on, it is built on using the Bible, not even a hundred years ago, to defame and to dehumanize black people. There has been use of the Bible specifically when people used to come into the church and talk about how slaves should obey their masters and how that's what the whole relationship between white and black people were. I think that this country specifically has a lot of racist rhetoric that is built in that is not being targeted.

❝I will say the legacy of slavery got in my way in the way that I am not a legacy child here. I will say that it got in my way in the way that my parents, my grandparents were not afforded the same, were not at one point even allowed to be on the property of this school.

❝It doesn't matter who you are. If your last name is not Trump, he will run you over with a bus. And if you watch The Sopranos, there's that one scene where they back over the guy's head at the gas station and crush it like a cantaloupe.

❝We are now, I think this is amazing timing for the Democrats. I don't know if the Wall Street Journal timed it that way, but we are three weeks out, less than three weeks out from the midterm elections.

❝But she said, I can deliver the world to you. That is pay-to-play.

❝We cannot afford Abdul, and we cannot risk his ideology.

❝President Trump is currently locked in his latest feud with Ukraine's leaders, who have defied his request to stop attacking Russia's oil refineries.

❝Yeah, I mean, I think that the Republican strategy for victory right now in the House doesn't really look like victory. It looks like keeping their losses to be in the minority, but not by a lot.

❝You voted to cover up the Epstein files. I want folks across the state to know this. When we took those votes, we knew that 14 and 15-year-old girls had been raped and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplices.

❝The same guy that sent ice cream, ice cream, to Jeffrey Epstein on his birthday and said, this is for the girls. John, the call's coming from inside the house.

❝But it's also remarkable because, as one senior elected Republican put it to me, this is the first time that the president is asking honest questions about Susie and even floating potential names to take her place.

❝Danny was able to pull it for me yesterday and it worked perfectly. Donald Trump loves going after Ilhan Omar and he has been somebody who has often taken Ilhan Omar out back and said some pretty funny things about Ilhan.

❝According to the data from yesterday and what we saw leaked to the press, this operation called World War 11 to troll Ilhan Omar, who didn't know how to read World War II, doesn't know Roman numerals, this operation is designed specifically to bulldoze the biggest affront to our entire nation...

❝Hell is open borders. Heaven is closed borders. And kind of metaphor there. Hell on earth is open borders.

❝We need an empathetic president, right? He's not, empathy is not what he does. He's never done empathy. This is, to me, the greatest, it's got a lot of flaws. That's a big one. If you have a president with no empathy and doesn't know how to do it, you can't do part of the job. That's just, and he is just incapable of this.

❝Well, to me, like the easiest explanation is we've had a very disappointing economy peppered by various shocks. Now it's almost 20 years.

❝And I wanted more people to sort of hear your point of view because, frankly, it's been a lot of AI doom, right? There's a ton of AI doom out there.

❝I think fuck this woke shit. It's not.

❝Being gay is a choice. Yeah.

❝Single-use plastics are destroying this planet. Yeah, I know. Yeah.

❝Trump screwed the pooch.

❝You know, he needs more people like me talking to him, not less. I think he actually doesn't like the fact that all he has around him are boring ass kissers. He's that guy who wants you to kiss his ass, but then he doesn't respect you when you do.

❝But first, here's my take: it strikes me as bizarre that today in the United States, a new pill to treat heartburn would have to go through months or even years of government approvals and testing before being released to the public. But the most powerful technology ever developed, capable of breaking into banks, shutting down power grids, or helping build bioweapons, can be released without even a preliminary government review. We're having a collective failure of imagination about artificial intelligence.

❝But certainly we haven't had people for whom the priority of American foreign policy was not Americans or American security or American prosperity, but themselves in a long time. And I think that's really pretty dramatically different.

❝And we’re sending the opposite message. We’re sending a message saying we’re open for business with Russia. And that is direct encouragement to Putin to keep going.

❝Comparing their ambitions to the revolutionary movements around Napoleon and Lenin and the Ayatollah hominy, you write, and this is a quote: the Klan of Predators currently in charge of the U.S. federal government is no different.

❝When I learned to drive, for example, I could find my way around because I had to use a paper map. Now, because of GPS, that part of my brain just doesn't work. And I worry about the more things we offload, the more cognitive tasks we offload, we just become blobs incapable of logical thinking, reasoning, deep thinking.

❝Well, there are these radical left-wing Jews who see it as their role to condemn Israel and say that it's committing genocide and is as bad as the Nazis and you know, Hannah Einbinder, Susan Sarandon, Wallace Sean, all these people.

❝I don't even think it's disputable. I mean, if he had won, if he'd eked out a narrow victory in the 2020 election, he would have been hobbled by COVID.

❝Now, the first one is hard work. And now we have the socialist movement that, you know, you don't really have to work hard because we're going to give you everything.

❝But if I had to encapsulate it, I'd say work hard because it's the beauty of America...And the left-wingers are going to deny that, but it's absolutely true.

❝Football is a character-forming institution that channels strength. In a world of instant gratification, it teaches perseverance through early practices and aching muscles.

❝We want just media that takes both sides. Let people decide.

❝But we're also in litigation on a defamation lawsuit for good reason.

❝And it's not only bad on just a lot of societal, it's deadly lethal for the Republican Party on elections.

❝That was a child molester.

❝I don't like the guy.

❝Greg Abbott's moratorium on data centers, if you want to call it a moratorium, like ends mid-November.

❝We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it is greater than 10% within the next decade.

❝So when the AI is seeking to maximize what humans like, they say, look, we assign a value to human enjoyment...Corn is a 500. It's everywhere. So why waste resources on seven, three, nine, sixteen, 32 when we can maximize high-value corn?

❝On November 3rd, vote Republican for House and Senate. And with God's help, we will lead this nation to heights of glory and achievement never seen before, even by our country at its best.

❝It is to argue effectively, you need to understand why people you disagree with hold the views that they do. And you need to start from a version of their argument that is high-minded rather than low-minded, and it is sort of the best version of the perspective that they hold.

❝Well, so there were a couple phases, right, where there were a couple cohorts of bloggers who became a big deal. And the first wave was immediately after September 11th, and then in the run-up to the Iraq war, where you had a set of people who were, some of them were former liberals who had moved right, some of them were just right-wingers, but they got called the war bloggers, right?

❝But the way that's manifested in kind of right-wing intellectual culture is that Catholicism, which has, I think it's fair to say, a stronger and deeper intellectual tradition than evangelical Christianity in the U.S., has just become like a kind of natural attractor for a lot of people who are like looking for a harbor, looking for a place to land, looking to convert or revert or anything else.

❝Now, you know, I think that Scott is someone maybe a little bit like Peter Thiel, who on the surface has all of these contradictions, denouncing the internet while being an investor in Facebook, and let's say being Christian and being gay. You know, on the surface, perhaps some people would say there are some contradictions here.

❝I would say he is the greatest influence on my thinking, Santi. I think that Scott is kind of this role model that I really adopt as kind of what is important for a career.

❝And he points out that states are usually one of the greater threats to liberty. And many people are very intent to flee away from the state because the state is very active in, let's say, making warfare, conscripting giant numbers of people in order to defeat another kingdom nearby. That states collect taxes.

❝So I actually printed this quote out just in case I had a chance to read it, which I now do. This is Pope Benedict XVI, who said, The economy and finance do not exist for their own sake. They are only an instrument or means. Their sole end is the human person and his or her total fulfillment and dignity. This is the only capital it is right to safeguard.

❝Because the Republicans won every battle for business, and the Democrats won none for the people. And in fact, in a big part of this period, they become enamored with business as much as the Republican. So I think that was a failure of the Democrat to represent the people that led to the situation we’re in today.

❝At the end of the day, the way I see it is that capitalism has a mean, not an end.

❝So we start with the fact that Biden said on the tapes that, quote, this document may be classified, so be careful, he said to the ghostwriter. I'm not sure because it's not marked classified, but end quote.

❝As Fauci is now admitting, quote, I don’t recall a discussion of whether it should be five or six feet or seven feet or whatever. It just sort of appeared, you know, six feet is going to be the distance, end quote.

❝He said that that was some seriously advanced scheming.

❝In one diary, I counted 37 different women.

❝And the anti-vaccine, you just had to look at his disclosures. You know, like when he went before the Senate, like he had to issue his disclosures. He was making a ton of money in referrals. So like $8 million or something?

❝And he's talking about his father, and he calls him Daddy. He says, I know daddy's looking down at me from heaven, and I know I've been a failure. And he lists his own issues, you know, his addiction to sex, his various addictions.

❝I have never seen the types of prosecutorial behavior before a grand jury that I saw in those transcripts.

❝But on the other hand, there are clearly people who've been hired purely based on a litmus test of loyalty to Donald Trump and potentially even ask questions like who won the 2020 election. I mean, there certainly has been reporting that those questions have been asked.

❝It's not just about IRS audits. It is that the U.S. will not bring any investigation, examination, civil claim, counterclaim, criminal claim, anything against Donald Trump, his family members, related or affiliated individuals, his companies, including trusts, parents, sister, related companies, affiliates, subsidiaries arising not only out of the matters that were part of this settled lawsuit, but also arising out of lawfare or weaponization, whatever the heck that means, and any manners, anything, any matters currently pending or that could be pending, including tax returns.
