“I certainly think secularism has sapped the strength of the Judeo-Christian West to defend its ideals, right?”
“There is a major war brewing, a war that’s already global. Every day that we refuse to look at this as what it is — and the scale of it, and really the viciousness of it — will be a day where you will rue that we didn’t act.”
“I believe the world and particularly the Judeo-Christian West is in a crisis.”
2015
“When two-thirds or three-quarters of the C.E.O.s in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think… A country is more than an economy. We’re a civic society.”
2016
“It’s war. It’s war. Every day, we put up: America at war, America’s at war. We’re at war. Note to self, beloved commander in chief: we’re at war.”
“Why is it that President Barack Hussein Obama … how can he not see that we’re fighting a global existential war?”
2017
“The third, broadly, line of work is what is deconstruction of the administrative state. All of those promises are going to be implemented. I kind of break it up into three verticals of three buckets…”
“The Republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election. That’s a brutal fact we have to face. They do not want Donald Trump’s populist, economic nationalist agenda to be implemented.”
“We call ourselves ‘the Fight Club.’ You don’t come to us for warm and fuzzy. We think of ourselves as virulently anti-establishment, particularly ‘anti-’ the permanent political class.”
“The media here is the opposition party… The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”
2018
“We got elected on Drain the Swamp, Lock Her Up, Build a Wall… This was pure anger. Anger and fear is what gets people to the polls.”
“The Democrats don’t matter. The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with s — -.”
2021
“All hell is going to break loose tomorrow.”
2023
“When I spoke with Bannon a few days later, he wouldn’t stop touting Trump’s performance, referring to it as his ‘Come Retribution’ speech.”
2024
“I think it’s very simple: that the ruling elites of the West lost confidence in themselves. The elites have lost their faith in their countries. They’ve lost faith in the Westphalian system, the nation-state. They are more and more detached from the lived experience of their people.”
“Our movement is metastasizing to something that’s different than America First; it’s American Citizens First.”
“We’re the most pro-Israel and pro-Jewish group out there… What I say is that not just the future of Israel but the future of American Jews… is conditional upon one thing, and that’s a hard weld with Christian nationalism.”
“The Democrats have no ability to win this unless they cheat… I think that’s the next phase of the MAGA — ‘America first’ was phase one, ‘American citizens first’ is phase two.”
“We are hurtling toward a constitutional crisis, because of these judges. We have Judicial Supremacy and Judicial Sabotage. — We cannot flinch. If we flinch, we lose.”
2025
“Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda.”
“We’re working on five or six different alternatives that President Trump could run again and be president, and quite frankly I think four or five of them are completely legal.”
“President Trump will serve a third term.”
