Besides, despite what many people think, the media isn\u2019t on the ballot.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What did this election really turn out to be about? It turns out to be trying to take away all of the reins of power and all of the perks and everything associated with being a member of the establishment. Did anybody think that the establishment &#8212; be they Republican, Democrat, Martian, communist, whatever &#8212; is just gonna sit around and leave that up to the democratic process? They are not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are real-world reasons for this disparity in income, and it has nothing to do with capitalism. It has everything to do with socialism and the false promise and the liars who make up the leaders in a socialistic government or enterprise.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump was in Fairfield, Connecticut. Number one, what\u2019s Trump doing in Connecticut? There are maybe 10 Republicans there, and only five of them will admit it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ll never forget Leon Panetta and his resignation day as chief of staff. He was just sucking up to Clinton like you can\u2019t believe. He was giving Bill Clinton credit for every damn good thing that\u2019s ever happened in the world since God created it.&nbsp;It was the most slavish&#8230; He was so kiss-ass that I thought he was gonna die of anal poisoning. I really did.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have never believed &#8212; because I have intelligence guided by 28 years of experience &#8212; that we are going to &#8216;illegal\u2019 the Clintons out of office. Scandal is not ever going to harm them. There is no evidence that it ever has.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People who are opposed to Hillary &#8212; and I am at the top of that list. I\u2019m the head of that club, waiting for some kind of magic to happen. People have been waiting for that to happen, to befall the Clintons for as long as they\u2019ve been in national public life. Nothing\u2019s happened.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Black Lives Matter is almost approaching unionized gang status now. They have imprimatur from the White House. They have their leaders up there honored for the great work that they do, and they\u2019re rabble-rousers.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Electing Barack Obama was supposed to set us on the path to fixing all this, to solving all this, to promoting unity. He was gonna make sure that the disadvantaged got theirs. And of course the disadvantaged and the minorities, they\u2019re angrier than ever. They\u2019re more upset than ever.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Liberalism is the most destructive forest in our country today, bar none.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In our modern era and these two or three generations alive today, to some the violence is precedent setting. I mean, somebody has to stoke this anger, somebody has to feed it, somebody has to lie to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The unemployment rate\u2019s not 5%. It\u2019s 23%. There are 94 million Americans not working.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is massive inflation, yet we\u2019re told there isn\u2019t any. If you don\u2019t think there\u2019s inflation, compare what you buy today to what you paid for it five years ago or last year. There is inflation. But officially the inflation rate is zero. Not true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The government isn\u2019t making anybody rich with handouts, with welfare, no matter how you count it unless you want to talk about the relatively few cases of people exploiting welfare, fraudulently and making a living out of that.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The criminal element is mad they don\u2019t have money, but the problem is they have never been taught. It\u2019s never been impressed upon them the legitimate way to earn money. It\u2019s out there to be earned.&nbsp;It\u2019s out there to be had. But they don\u2019t know how. They\u2019ve been told they can\u2019t.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The emails, the shmemails! Folks, there\u2019s nothing that\u2019s gonna happen with the emails. I don\u2019t care what\u2019s found in them. We should know that by now.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The nuclear family is coming under attack, and families are being redefined to become normal with whatever anybody wants their family to be.&nbsp;As a result it\u2019s disintegrating one of the most fundamental building blocks of an ordered, mannered, cultured society. And it\u2019s also being done on purpose.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The dissolution the American family in certain neighborhoods didn\u2019t just happen.&nbsp;It\u2019s like economics.&nbsp;This is not just cyclical.&nbsp;We\u2019re not just in a bad time for families in America.&nbsp;This is the result of specific policies being implemented.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Democrat solution to economic stability is to find somebody to blame &#8212; that\u2019s usually their political opponent &#8212; and then make the government grow and grow and grow, and talk about how you\u2019re taking more from the rich and you\u2019re gonna give it to the downtrodden. Create the notion of Santa Claus.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve always had economic divisions, but what\u2019s different now is that those at the top have no concept of belonging to a country. And so they have no concept of fellow citizens. Their interests go beyond patriotic things or nation oriented things. It\u2019s not enough to call \u2019em globalists, although that may be what they are.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Liberals think rugged individualism and self-reliance is nothing more than greed and selfishness. So the left has done more than just promise handouts and turned it into an addiction. They have stigmatized the solutions and have made them popularly unacceptable, uncool.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When was the last Republican mayor in Milwaukee, 1908? I mean, Republicans haven\u2019t had a say-so in this town, in its culture, in its dominant governance in decades.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke is going to be just lambasted as an Uncle Tom, as a traitor, as a sellout, as a tool for everything he\u2019s said. But he\u2019s right on the money.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is as the rioters were initially threatening the cops who were trying to keep the peace during the afternoon, after everybody thought that once again, white cops had shot an unarmed black. It wasn\u2019t the case. It was an armed black fleeing the scene of a crime shot by an African-American cop.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Folks, not only does this embody what socialism and liberalism and communism and everything &#8212; but, more importantly, this is exactly what I have told you. This is exactly how the left has distorted the definition of what trickle-down economics is.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just like the current economy of the country, is a direct result of specific policies being implemented, so is the condition of the American family.&nbsp;It is the result of specific policies implemented by the Democrat Party.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some are born with good brains; some aren\u2019t. I was.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It never works going after the media if you are the candidate.&nbsp;It makes you look small.
