You get into an elevator and there\'s music playing. You hear it, but you\'re not into it. That is passive.
The television set\'s on while the family\'s sitting around having dinner or talking. Nobody\'s watching TV; it\'s there; they\'re aware of it, but they\'re not participating. That\'s passive.
The more people that understand and are made able to spot liberalism, and then the more people are able to associate liberalism with the problems in their lives, the political problems, the economic problems, the more people can be conditioned and educated to understand that liberalism is the problem, coupled with the ability to spot it, would be the fastest way to eradicate it. It would be really helpful if we had a Republican Party engaged in this.
Donald Trump - whatever he was warning the Democrats, whatever he\'s warning African-Americans about - he wasn\'t criticizing them. He was criticizing the Democrat Party. He was telling them it\'s the Democrat Party that has made their bed for \'em, and it\'s time that that changed.
I\'m getting a little fed up with some of the pessimism that I\'m hearing. I know some people who will not be convinced we\'ve really won anything until the media changes. And that isn\'t gonna happen. They look at the media not liking Trump and they think it\'s failure. They look at the media ripping Trump and destroying him and they think it\'s gonna work and it means failure. And I get so fed up. I said, \"Do you people not understand we\'re on the cusp here of one of the most exciting next four years?\" The growth potential, the potential of putting America back together.
We are forward planning and strategic on what the planet will look like with climate change as we decide to go into various areas of the world if we have to.
Here you have the Republican Party, and they had, what, 16, 15 candidates seek the Republican nomination? And Donald Trump won it. And they have been enraged actually since day one when Trump announced, and his statement did not result in a Trump implosion, and then future Trump statements and appearances did not result in a Trump implosion. But the candidates that the Republican Party...They thought they had the best presidential field ever, and they hated and resented Trump for that.
[The Democrats] can\'t stop [Donald] Trump. They are in the exact position that the Republicans were in in 2009 and 2010 with [Barack] Obama.
One thing that I don't know if people have come to grips with yet is just how serious ISIS is, just how serious militant Islamists are about Sharia. There is no compromise. There is no halfway. There is no mutual cohabitation plan.
There\'s nobody who knows the left better than I know \'em. I know the left like I know every square inch of my gloriously naked body, not just the back of my hand. I know them. I know them better than they know themselves because they refuse to be honest about who they are really are and what they really believe, but I am.
In a war the aggressor sets the rules.
Her family had no such ties. She was able to forge her way into that world. And then to those people, the idea of going to Arkansas, if you\'re gonna stop and think about it, you don\'t do it. It wouldn\'t have made any sense. It\'s like going to Mississippi. Why would you go to Alabama? You wouldn\'t go. You wouldn\'t... That would be throwing your life away! [...] For some reason, Hillary Clinton wanted to latch on to this guy [Bill Clinton] - and for some reason, this guy wanted her to latch on to him.
You have to believe in yourself. You have to believe there\'s a reason you\'re trying to pursue the highest levels you can go. That\'s because you can do it and you can do it well and you can do it better than anybody else.
There\'s nobody that knows me that hates me.
One of my quests from the beginning has been to inform people, educate people, sort of train people, if you will, to spot liberalism. The belief that liberalism is the source of the vast majority of our problems, clearly not all, but the vast majority, liberals and liberalism, and the more people trained to spot it, I think, have always believed that it would go a long way to go in defeating it. I think it does need to be defeated.
If you are unskilled and uneducated, your job is going south. Skilled workers, educated people are going to do fine 'cause those are the kinds of jobs Nafta is going to create. If we are going to start rewarding no skills and stupid people, I'm serious, let the unskilled jobs that take absolutely no knowledge whatsoever to do - let stupid and unskilled Mexicans do that work.
The presidency has even become a partisan thing. The presidency has been totally politicized and totally made partisan, as evidenced by the IRS going after the Tea Party and any number of other examples I give you.
[Barack] Obama\'s out there saying it\'s the number one national security threat [climate change], and he\'s got his Joint Chiefs of Staff out there planning American battles, military engagements on that basis.
Militant Islam, jihad, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, you name it, they are conquerors. It might be politically correct to say, somebody like Obama might try to justify what they\'re doing based on the Crusades, which he constantly does, but it has nothing to do with this. They are conquerors. Islam is a conquest ideology. Not even a religion.
Drive-Bys want you to think that Donald Trump doesn\'t have a mind of his own. He\'s either doing what Steve Bannon tells him to do or he\'s either doing what Jared Kushner tells him to do or he\'s then doing what Gary Cohn tells him to do, and then sometimes he might do what Ivanka Trump tells him to do. They want you to believe he doesn\'t have a mind of his own, that he actually believes the last thing somebody tells him. I don\'t think that\'s how it happened.
I can find them strategizing about any number of things in these WikiLeaks email dumps, but there\'s not a thread on climate change whatsoever. Why is that? If climate change were that big a deal to these people, don\'t you think they would be talking about it internally?
Try it, folks, try it. Try it for a week without watching cable news. Now, if you\'re a news consumer and if you are quasi-addicted, then you\'re gonna have to find other ways of informing yourself, and you can do that. You can inform yourself of the same things you\'ll see on cable TV. What you will miss is all the incendiary opining on both sides. You\'ll miss the anger. You\'ll miss the constant lack of resolution to anything. And most of all you\'ll miss the frustration.
Strategizing how to use it, how to promote it, how to use it as a campaign aid? I can\'t find any reference to [climate change].
Look, the bottom line is, folks: They [Democrats] are unified. Their single objective is taking us out. We do not have that. Look at what\'s happening on our side. I mean, it\'s atrocious. It is actually embarrassing.
I know it\'s absurd, but they\'re out saying so, and Hillary [Clinton] makes a big, big deal about climate change.
You notice that the Democrats are totally unified. I mean, you know they\'re dragging Algore back out? Algore is being dragged out of the Apple boardroom and wherever else he hangs out to go and rally Millennials on the premise that Millennials will respond to Algore\'s claim that we are destroying the planet and that he will get their attention.
Donald Trump has put together a coalition, whether he knows it or not, whether he intended to or not, he\'s put together a coalition that\'s exactly what the Republican Party says that it needs to win and, yet, look like what they\'re doing. They\'re trying to get Trump out of the race, because they\'re not in charge of it. They\'re not in control of it. And it\'s the most amazing thing to watch this happen.
The standards have sunk so low throughout our culture that who really knows.
Essentially the Obama administration sabotaged Trump\'s transition to the White House. They were doing this during the transition. While Obama\'s talking about, \"I want the smoothest transition in the history of transitions,\" he was sabotaging it even then.
When Barack Obama was caught telling Dmitry Medvedev, \"Tell Vlad to be patient. We\'ll get rid of our nukes after I win reelection and I\'ll have more flexibility.\" That was in 2012, right before the election.
