❝They wanted to, in secret, turn it into basically a woke indoctrination center that went and repudiated everything that the school had ever stood for.

❝And I didn't know it was a secret expulsion meeting, that the headmaster was going to pull out our kids' enrollment agreement, wave it in my face, and tell me that we were plotting against the school and that he was expelling our two kids this day, that instant.

❝And we were determined to be able to protect and do our part to protect the families here of North Carolina and strike a blow against this type of mentality that these private schools have that they can just basically expel your children for any reason at any time if they just want to while they're enforcing ideological conformity in secret.

❝Like, I know I'm being sort of calm here, but like deeply angering what has been done because Charlie was assassinated, and then Candace and her ilk have taken it upon themselves to character assassinate Erica. And, you know, there was a post by Data Republican where Candace got, you know, very badly ratioed, which was, which was great to see, candidly, because it shows a sea change.

❝But with ChatGPT, I just heard this, that they, like, ChatGPT still says Trump is a president and Charlie Kirk's still alive. I've learned about ChatGPT. I think they have to, like, some people probably just have different updates to it, but I do. That's what I've heard from some people.

❝I mean, I've seen a lot of people are like, I don't know if I can trust Trump. I don't know if I can trust the administration.

❝After Mamdani signed the last of the documents, the mayor gave Police Commissioner Jessica Tish the ceremonial pen and whispered, Can you pass this?

❝But the real story is a party that would rather leak against one of its own senators than confront the fact that their base has gone off the deep end on Israel, immigration, and basic competence.

❝Now the grandparents are alone, the kids are in another city chasing money, and the solution is to rent a stranger to pretend to be your son or daughter for three hours.

❝I had the chance to talk to him about his life, his life journey, his ideological journey from angry left-wing radical to one of the most important conservative thinkers ever to live.

❝But his point was about the warning, that you had some people in Georgia who didn't like blacks, and they were bigots, and they were openly so. And what you said is the southern, the southern racists were like rattlesnakes, they made noise and they were visible. But when you went to the north in the northeast, they were like moccasins, they were hidden until they'd strike.

❝People like people who stand up for what's right. Amen. And as I said to you from the beginning, I do not understand a lot about this town.

❝It was my moral and professional duty to help them avoid it.

❝And that's a wealth creation in a society right now that is just fallaciously focused on wealth inequality and on class warfare. You do not have to be Elon Musk to generate wealth.

❝The dividend growth investing isn't just a smart strategy. It's the only coherent investment philosophy for people who actually want to own something rather than gamble on it.

❝But for some fucking reason, this year, everyone’s brains are breaking. The evangelical brains are breaking the most.

❝So I had a choice. It was either continue to be beat up and picked on or become the person that started beating up people and picking on people.

❝I was visited when I was a young girl and aliens, alien beings, implanted an interdimensional device in me that harvested my eggs over my lifetime…to try to create a hybrid child, which they actually eventually did. And I saw it.

❝When she gets to the Senate, she's going to vote to kill babies.

❝And, you know, Allie always said politics matter because policy matters because people matter. And so I want to pay attention to this for just the next few minutes and talk about what could happen in the midterm elections.

❝If you want the Republican traditional conservative agenda to continue, then we need to make sure that we take both the House and the Senate. If we lose one of those, it's going to be very hard to get anything in a positive manner done in the next two years.

❝I mean, I just can't have any other opinion other than that. I think most people can't get past that. That's the problem.

❝So in Massachusetts, the state has to essentially disprove that she’s insane. I mean, they use a different term.

❝I am a super constitution lover. Like, I love the constitution. Every all of my answers, everything is based on the constitution.

❝President Trump said, John and many others in the industry are suggesting we do federal tax incentives in order to make our movie and television production business great again. He went on to say that what we watch on the silver screen should be made in what was once the movie and motion picture capital of the world. Unquote.

❝I'm so amazed that Democrats didn't twig to this earlier, like when he was in his first office, is the man loves to make deals, right? And what's the area where you can maybe get him to make some deals? Just more deficit spending.

❝I mean, you know, I'd probably punch the guy if I had ever seen him.

❝But Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringy comments to distract from his career of corruption.

❝Now, look, my anger with the Vice President of the United States is the fact that he is underwriting an administration that is making us poorer and sicker.

❝On what planet is this not barbaric?

❝I am a free speech person who also supports our non-discrimination laws. So, and I think that the free speech and non-discrimination laws can and should coexist.

❝A lot of these guys are essentially trying to unwind big parts of the founding to make America less free and more chauvinistic and nationalistic.

❝But today in America, only 5.9% of the private sector workforce is represented or has union membership, the union density, if you will.

❝Well, I mean, when you think about it from a political standpoint, let's first recognize that union power and privilege is a direct result of government action. It is government that gave them this power that somehow they can represent you, Matt, without your consent.

❝Yeah, absolutely. It's volunteer, not voluntold. And that's what we are at.

❝Yeah, I often forgotten about the great Robert Blake, but I want to say one thing about that trial. Yeah. It's my favorite trial for one reason. Because Robert Blake's excuse was, I couldn't have shot my girlfriend in the parking lot of the bar/slash restaurant because I went back inside to get my gun.

❝But if it makes the kids hate Bush even more, what's the harm? Yeah, just so we're certainly not going to waste any time debunking it.

❝I don't believe it. You know, he doesn't really like this when the cameras go off.

❝But some at-risk Republicans say they just don't want Trump to visit at all. At least one senior Republican told Alex and our colleagues that they said Trump cannot come. They told his team that, which is quite striking when you consider that Trump's PAC, MAGA Inc., their first ad that they went up with this week, was all about Trump.

❝And actually, one operative told Gary in a pretty striking quote that any seat that Trump won by less than 10 points could be at play. This is Florida we're talking about.

❝Yeah, I mean, Trump is sort of making a bet that talking about AI and talking about AI as the thing that will bring jobs and stimulate the economy is a winning bet. Trump is on a different side of the ledger than everybody else, for the most part, in his party.

❝But perhaps most importantly today, I would now like to formally address the text message that my debate opponent, if that's what we're calling him, Andrew Wilson, released while I was in Iceland. The alleged message from Charlie the night before his death, allegedly sent via telegram, wherein Charlie says he's afraid the left is going to kill him.

❝I was the one who revealed, and I did not say the left because I was told it did not say the left. I was told that he said they are going to kill me to Dan Flood.

❝And they're lying. They are lying without question.

❝The charge is proved beyond a reasonable doubt if, after you've compared and considered all of the evidence, you have in your minds an abiding conviction to a moral certainty that the charge is true.

❝Democrats are nuts. That's who they are. They're nuts.

❝If you don't know that and you call yourself a pastor, you are lying about being a Christian.

❝You were taught that Nixon's men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters to spy on his political opponents. You were taught that when he found out, Nixon covered it up, and that the cover-up was worse than the crime. You were taught that two heroic Washington Post reporters, guided by a righteous FBI whistleblower, brought the most powerful man in the world to justice. But you were never taught what really happened.

❝There's also the fact that government regulations and the threat of litigation are forcing some of the largest appliance manufacturers to build major vulnerabilities into their products. And the manufacturers, rather than tell consumers what's happening and how to fix the issues, are happy to sit back and watch as the appliances break, leading to new sales.

❝Now, if you're the kind of person who's willing to deal with this asshole, repairing the gear is cheap, but if you're like the vast majority of KitchenAid customers and your machine dies on you after a few years, you become frustrated, you buy a new one. That’s the whole point.

❝Call Hamas evil for October 7th. Say prisons actually work. Reject Sharia law. Embrace free markets. Admit that borders are a good idea. Promise that new ladies' rooms won't need urinals. And stop wiping your ass with the Constitution when you can use Jesse's book instead.

❝So on Tuesday, the House just voted to condemn socialism and the DSA's policy positions with eight Democrats joining Republicans.

❝You've dedicated your career to advancing robotics and AI, including technologies with defense applications. From your perspective, what responsibility do scientists and engineers have to ensure these innovations ultimately reduce human suffering rather than prolong conflict?

❝It's not existential for the U.S. yet.

❝And, you know, we would do whatever it took to win.

❝And you had to ask yourself, and many people did ask themselves at the time, why would someone who runs a pornography site donate this much money to a pro-war organization, a neocon organization like APAC? What's the connection between the two?

❝We are not living in normal times. We're living in times of $4 gasoline for the last six months.

❝So, when people voted for Trump in the hope that he would end debanking, they probably weren't thinking, I hope OnlyFans can find a more efficient way to transfer its funds. Exactly right.

❝And so I wonder if you think that the future of American politics, unfortunately, we've entered sort of the post-capitalist phase in which everybody just sort of argues about where to rearrange the anti-free market deck chairs on the Titanic.

❝Like, there are actual real things happening on planet Earth right now. And meanwhile, the president of the United States has decided that we must, must rename Lake Ontario Lake America, which, like, I don't get it.

❝No, for me, it's all of the thousands of comments of women on my videos, including conservative women, who are somehow trying to figure out a way to justify violently killing your own three children. And I just think we have lost the plot so substantially in our country this week.

❝Well, this is a contrast election between crazy versus common sense, and you're exactly right. You need to point out how crazy the policies of the left are, but then you have to actually explain what is the common sense and walk through the importance of supporting law enforcement to arrest criminals so that you have a safe society.

❝But today, after a century of watching capitalism succeed and socialism fail spectacularly, for some reason, socialism is on the rise in America. Many of the Democratic Party's leading candidates are running on tossing out capitalism and replacing it with a socialist system that has proven time and again to fail, to crush, to kill millions who are unfortunate enough to fall under its boot.

❝They don't want borders. They want to make every single immigrant in the United States of America, regardless of legal status, American citizens. So legal immigrants would automatically get amnesty and become U.S.

❝Some of the Republicans that are throwing rocks at Ken Paxton, my message to them is enough. Stop your bitching. We had a $200 million primary and Ken won. And one of the reasons the numbers are close is because $200 million of attack ads were run against him, and that does damage.

❝We’re talking about a radical, evil ideology.

❝And I now believe that theory to be reality. And if you go back into the Todd Stern Show time machine, here’s what I said: I suggested that there was an effort to actually sabotage the midterm elections, that Republicans really were not interested in actually winning the midterm elections. And I think now we’ve got the evidence we need.

❝I'm forcing this person, I'm gonna ride their ass to get them to move, flash the lights on them. Yes, that's how fortunately that guy just got a call from his wife that someone's breaking into their home, probably gonna murder their entire family.

❝And I think we got to start out by talking about just how truly stupid women in America are.

❝But after five to ten, we need to invade a Muslim country to afford this shit.

❝But yeah, to me, to watch guys go in there and just brawl it out and say, you know, let's see who can take more punches before the other guy drops is just silly to me. It's like you said, I like to fight with finesse.

❝I mean, yeah, if you get riled up by the littlest thing, and then you go out there and you try to go crazy, you're just like a kindergartner in this fight game.

❝Your doctor spends eight minutes with you, and your insurance decides what blood work you get. That's not healthcare. It's a broken system.

❝America is not okay. And we all know that.

❝This is a uniquely powerful reaction to an abhorrent president right now who's in our face in just an abhorrent moment in time. It's not a realignment.

❝There's no group he's picking up with. No, he's so broadly, single-handedly fucked up the economy that that is dominating every demographic group, the reaction to this economy.

❝And so the thing I love about this race is: yes, it's a physical thing, but it is like every loop, I have to make a commitment to say the story in my mind that I'm creating is not the full truth. And can I take one more step?

❝But the true essence of where I build that from and how I'm able to do that out on the course is: like I say this all the time: like, I don't get to determine if I'm a good friend, my friends get to determine that. I don't get to determine if I'm a good husband, my wife gets to determine that. And they base that off of the integrity and character that I have. And where am I getting that from? I get that from scripture, I get that from Christ.

❝And I'm paraphrasing, but it said, the reason you do not know God is because you are not of God. Wow. And so I wanted to hear God, man.

❝I commend President Trump for an agreement that on its face appears to have a really positive economic benefit for America. But say that none of this is going to work if there aren't fair and free elections really soon.

❝and Venezuela had just agreed to, quote, the biggest oil deal in world history. Hey, I'm breaking news tonight. President Trump boasting of a huge oil deal on social media.

❝They decided to do something very unusual, which was treat access to Venezuelan oil as a national security matter, as a strategic asset. And basically, they found a loophole where they could claim that and then use this office as their preferred mechanism to have the U.S. government take a direct stake in Venezuelan oil. So that's the U.S.

❝I believe the solution is not a political solution. There's political things we can do, of course. But it's a virtue problem.

❝Well, I think it was because we believed in voter fraud, my husband and I, and we've been staunch conservatives, and we raised he was a even more a conservative than we were.

❝My buddies and I have called it, we call it the partial, where it's like a little partial glimpse of heaven. It's like a little slice, a little sliver, a little moment. That's like, oh, wow, if this is just a fraction of what heaven is, then that's going to be pretty good.

❝Jelly Roll went out last week. And instead of like building up the people who brought him to fame and fortune, which is like hardworking red state Americans, the country music fans, instead of doing that, Jelly Roll decided to say that Donald Trump's a fat pig, that he's a racist, that he's a rapist, that he can't see his own dick, calling into question Donald Trump's faith, saying that Donald Trump's policies are immoral and antithetical to Christianity, which they are not, and using his faith as a shield in order to try and like push political belligerence.

❝There are hundreds of thousands of kids still missing within the borders of the United States of America this very second that were trafficked across that border. There were thousands of women raped coming across that border. Are they not your neighbor?

❝I'm going to say what I want to say because I'm an individual American freedom of speech absolutionist. I am a songwriter. I believe in my freedom of speech. So you can give me whatever you want on the page. I'm going to say what I am going to say. You are not going to tell me what to say.

❝They’re the ones who told Kamala Harris that the answer to, do you support tax-funded sex changes for people in prison? was fuck yeah, instead of you're fucking kidding.

❝Something like 77 out of 80 professors vote Democratic. Yeah. That's a ridiculous number.

❝And so, I think some of the order that came out the other day from the White House was: well, let's just spread the vaccination schedule back out, let parents have an ability to make those decisions for their children with informed consent.

❝Donald Trump wants to sever the United States from the West. You can pretend otherwise. He's done everything that he possibly can with the constraint of the Congress and the state.

❝Eisenhower was right. Military industrial complex won.

❝You know, I'll take everybody back to January 17th, 1961, the farewell address of Dwight Eisenhower. And he had gravitas. He was the five-star general that led us in Europe and the Normandy invasion, etc. He said, listen, eight years here in the presidency, there's a feedback loop between the lobbyists and military defense contractors. And if we're not careful, they're going to take over and they're going to bleed us out.

❝The Republican National Committee is sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars.

❝You either have to cut benefits or raise taxes on someone. That's all you can do. There's nothing else that you can do.

❝The problem that we have is they say that Trump does great when he's on the ballot, but when he's not on the ballot, his people don't come and they don't vote for senators, congressmen, and other Republicans. And that these people, they're running, they're great. But if Trump isn't actually on the ballot, so what I really want you to do is pretend please that I'm on the ballot. Just come and vote. It's so important.

❝He certainly trusts that she will affirm what he believes to be reality more than people in his government always will.

❝Carney said Canada was under attack by Trump and was, quote, at war with the United States.

❝You are all that matters to me. I want things to always be right between us. I also know I've been distracted all week, forgetting to eat throughout the days and even forgetting to sleep and only catching a couple hours at a time. And the letter ended with all my heart, Natalie.

❝And Donald Trump said, Everybody's doing nuclear testing right now. We have more nuclear weapons than anybody. Everybody's doing testing, which is just not the case.

❝Because we have demonstrated, even in recent days, that the only way to maintain peace is to show strength. It's peace through strength. That's one of our principles that we try to advance here every day.

❝Here's what she posted: They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings. Yes, you read that correctly. It's real. I'm not speculating.

❝Let's say there's someone who's racist, pro-Nick Fuentes, whatever, who doesn't have pedophile allegations, who isn't comically in debt, who doesn't have all these credibility issues. I think they could do a lot better in a future primary.

❝Iran is really bothering me because I feel like for decades we've spent a lot of time in the Middle East for all the wrong reasons, not serving our interests, but serving Israel's interests. The Iran war thing is really the kind of the sticking point at this juncture.

❝Because Trump ran as an economic populist but governed as an establishment Republican, like just tax cuts for people.

❝This guy is a full-on liar at every single point. And we have become as a society anesthesized to his lying. And these guys in the press have got to figure out a way to restate how bad this actually is. And that's my opinion.

❝But focus on costs, focus on how you can bring costs down for Americans. They all know how much they're spending on healthcare, on groceries, and on gas, and don't be talking about cultural issues.

❝I think that using a decoy isn't a scandal. I mean, I think that was a smart move.

❝And right now, in this moment, it's a tectonic shift in terms of what will become of the human race, what will become of each of us individually, what do we aspire to. And that's the question I'm really trying to tackle: in this moment, as we remap our imagination as a species, what do we do next?

❝And right now, the ultimate values we have as a species is power, wealth, status. We will pursue those three objectives at any cost, including our own life. We will trade our conscious existence to achieve those three things.

❝And so the Don't Die philosophy is don't die individually, don't kill each other, don't kill the Earth, and align AI with don't die.

❝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.

❝But remember, strategic false flag and deception is Russia's standard operating procedure.

❝You wrote about being asked what keeps you up at night, and you said the answer, and this is a quote, is the fear that the post-war international order, shaped by memories of World War II and the trauma of the Holocaust, and built on the foundation of political compromise, respect for other countries' sovereignty, free markets, civil liberties, and the protection of minorities, may collapse.

❝I'll turn it back to Jake, but I do want to register a bit of concern about this legislation that you mentioned, the Lindsey Graham bill, which I wonder whether you will come to see differently over time. The concern that I'll just put on the table is that it authorizes a range of new tariffs for the president. It gives him a national security waiver, which would basically allow him to use those tariffs as he chooses, including against U.S. allies, including against EU and NATO members because of their purchases of Russian oil. So I would just take a closer look at it.

❝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.

❝Tonight, I'm announcing the immediate declassification and release of critical intelligence, revealing shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure.

❝He was not defeated in 2020 by Joe Biden.

❝And basically, Donald Trump only stopped from sending out this letter because his entire class of political appointees at the Justice Department came into him in an extraordinary scene on Sunday before January 6th, meeting in the Oval Office, and his entire political appointees, all Republicans, said they would all quit en masse if he went ahead with that plot.

❝I think women should be playing in men's sports. Austin did. I can do more pull-ups than Caroline Cohen. And fuck you.

❝They thought he was misogynistic. Dude, he opens the door, winds whipping in. You know what to do.

❝Anyway, I have what some might call almost a fascistic, disciplined, ordered structure in my household.

❝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.

❝In my political life, which now for some reason goes back 35 years of fighting and contesting elections, I can say without doubt that I was directly responsible for David Cameron resigning as Prime Minister. I can say with 100% certainty that the Brexit party got rid of Theresa Bay.

❝It rewards terrorism. We believe in a two-state solution, but you have to do that after a peace settlement when you know what the borders are going to be, when you know who's going to be running one of those states, not just giving a blanket free pass to Hamas, a terrorist organisation.

❝They absolutely would, because what Conservatives want more than anything is power.

❝So, you know, I think one of the things that obviously Americans have been talking about a lot in the last 10, 20 years is the rise of MAGA, the rise of right-wing populism, etc. And one of the big narratives we've seen is this kind of talk about deaths of despair and neglected rural Americans.

❝Yeah, so the punching of the paper is that these areas that saw a greater exposure to the opioid epidemic shift their support towards the Republican Party in all levels of elections. So we see this in presidential elections, in House elections, and in gubernatorial elections.

❝One of these explanations is the fact that at the same time as the OPFPM has been unraveling, the Republican and Democratic Party were going through a realignment with the Republican Party taking ownership and putting at the center of their speech the left behind America and the blue collar workers, whereas the Democratic Party centered itself more as a minority first party.
