“Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Scott Carpenter, John Glenn. These were incredible, brave, innovative, courageous people. There was nothing they were afraid of. They didn’t seek solace when they heard things that they didn’t agree with. They weren’t innocent snowflakes that needed to be protected. They didn’t get participation trophies or any of that.”
“We are so blessed, Kathryn and I and everybody on the Rush Revere Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans team. We get pictures and we get emails from families and children reading these books and we get stories from people who tell us their kids never liked history, never liked reading, and now they can’t get enough. They want their parents to read the books to ’em constantly, they can’t wait for the next one to come out. I can’t tell you what a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction it is.”
“Fake news played a role in this election and continues to…” For Brian Williams to announce it? He was fake news! In fact, he may be the poster child for it. You know, I’m not comfortable saying this ’cause I know the guy. I’ve met him in the old days when I went over to MSNBC when they were in Fort Lee and I would make the mistake of appearing over there, and I’d run into him in his office. He was as funny as he could be, could do stand-up if he wanted to. But I’m sorry to say, he’s the poster child for fake news.
“Have you ever heard of a better name for a CEO of an oil company, Rex Tillerson? And he looks like a Rex Tillerson. He’s a good guy.”
“The Republican establishment and many of the Never Trumpers and some in the so-called conservative movement are still — still — very upset that Trump was elected, very doubtful Trump knows what he’s doing, would do anything they could to get people they know and trust inside Trump’s cabinet. So far, they’ve failed.”
“This whole climate change, global warming thing has become a religion, and the point about that is since it’s a religion, you can’t criticize it, just like you’re not allowed to criticize the basics of Islam or Christianity.”
“Look at where Trump’s cabinet picks are coming from. They’re not coming from the Northeast. They’re not coming from Harvard. They’re not coming from Brown University, the Ivy League. They’re coming from Oklahoma, from Indiana, from Iowa. They are great warrior generals. They are all just profoundly, greatly successful, self-starting businesspeople who know how it’s done.”
“If there was a news entity that had credibility and was trustworthy, then fake news would be spotted immediately, and it would not succeed. But there is no authority anymore. The Drive-By Media announced that they were getting rid of objectivity. They announced that they were going partisan. They did it on the front page of the New York Times in a piece by Jim Rutenberg!”
“The Trump campaign released, and the Drive-By Media is picking it up, that Trump is expected to tap Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who is a member of the Republican leadership in the House. She’s from the state of Washington. Trump is expected to pick her to lead the interior department… Can I tell you what I think this really is? I think this is the cabinet pick that Trump is giving Reince Priebus.”
“You want some fake news? Fox News has not had a Christmas party, and it’s not gonna be at Trump’s hotel. MSNBC just made it up, that’s what they do.”
“Trump is saying: I want people who’ve made a fortune. I want people who know how to make money in America. Obama doesn’t have anybody that knows how to make money other than have it donated to them.”
“Donald Trump has the entire media apparatus arrayed against him. There’s fake news daily about Trump, lying about him, lying about his cabinet picks.”
“I don’t care what you think of Trump, I don’t care what you think of his agenda, I don’t care if you’re a Never Trumper, Republican establishment, Democrat, you’re watching a master at work in Donald Trump. I don’t care if you disagree with what he’s doing, saying, you’re watching a master.”
“The whole point of the Rush Revere series was to start at the very outset of the idea of America, which is a free people electing leaders whose purpose is to protect and ensure the freedoms of the people of the country, not the other way around. Not a monarchy, not a dictatorship — even a benevolent dictatorship. This was going to be a representative republic, and it was historic.”
“You know what this fake news stuff is? Just a distraction. The fake news is the Drive-By Media! The fake news was all of the polling going into this election. The fake news is all of the misreporting on Trump. The reason why there is any fake news is because the mainstream media has lost its credibility.”
“Nobody believes anything they hear anymore. Nobody trusts anything. The mainstream media has abandoned the very things which gave it credibility, which provided its authority — its moral authority, everything else.”
“Hillary Clinton was a purveyor of fake news! Barack Obama originated fake news when they came up with this theory that it was a video responsible for the terrorist attack in Benghazi, and the Drive-By Media picked it up and ran with it — and everybody knew it was untrue!”
“The more the Democrats remain in denial about why they lost, the deeper in doo-doo they’re gonna be and the harder it’s gonna be for them to extricate themselves. It redounds to our benefit.”
“I would urge everybody to visit the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington. It is one of the most fascinating places you can go in all of Washington. Of course, the National Archives and all the monuments, but you’ve got to see some of the early spacecraft.”
“The Drive-Bys can raise holy hell, and they can point fingers of blame, but they had better be looking right at themselves, because they are the reason fake news exists. They are the reason you can’t tell anymore what’s fake and what isn’t. But you know what? Audiences know. Audiences trust Donald Trump. You in this audience trust me, and that is something I have always known and never take for granted.”
“Low-information voters and people all over the country are finally seeing — they’re not being told — they are seeing, they are witnessing who and what liberals and liberalism is. They are seeing the extremism. They are witnessing it firsthand.”
“I was so into the space program, my mother knitted me a sweater. It was a blue sweater and it had Mercury space capsules on the front of it. And it was a comfortable sweater. I mean, I actually could wear the thing.”
“The more people that understand just how unhinged, unrealistic and divorced from reality liberalism is and how damaging, how hurtful that it is, the better everybody is, better off everybody.”
“The Democrat Party’s fastest way back is illegal immigration. If we don’t actually do something about this, they’re gonna be back sooner than anybody knows.”
