I'm warning people now that what happens in the George Floyd case with Derek Chauvin... They should be warned up front. I want this police officer punished. I think everyone wants this police officer punished. The defense is going to make a case that the police officer is not responsible for George Floyd's death in exactly the same way that the New York police officers made the case that they weren't responsible for Eric Garner's death. The initial autopsy tends to support that. What that suggests is not that Derek Chauvin is good or clean or decent, but if you're going to charge him with murder, that's a hard charge to make on a legal level.

Marriage makes you a better person. Commitment makes you a better person. Being a parent makes you a better person. It changes who you are, and more importantly, it does something for somebody else that makes you worthwhile. Otherwise, what are you? You're a ball of meat walking around with a set of desires, and then you die.

Biden is running almost the ideal campaign. He's not alive. And as it turns out, beating a dead horse is actually kind of tough.

[Joe Biden's] approval rating sank from 60% when he entered office to low 40s or high 30s today, unlike President Trump who never had a high approval rating ... Biden went from being a very popular guy coming in to a very unpopular guy right now, and if you're Joe Biden, you should be looking in the mirror and wondering exactly why.

If I could make the Internet disappear tomorrow, would I? ... I don't know, man. That is a tough question. I think there's a case for yes.

Ye West, Kanye West, is a Jew-hater. Pretty obviously, there's no way to avoid that conclusion. The stuff that he's been ranting and raving over the past several weeks demonstrates that he doesn't just hate specific Jews; he hates the Jews.

When you say you have a major announcement and what you actually drop is what appears to be an NFT money grab... On every available front, it's the dumbest politics I think maybe I've ever seen ... It's painful, and this is coming from somebody who voted for Donald Trump in 2020.

Honestly, that's my great fear here for Ye West is that if he is in the middle of a manic episode, the depression on the other side of the mania, very often, is coincident with the level of the mania ... I would not be surprised, God forbid, something should happen—that Ye should do something to himself given his behavior.

It may be that in the years to come we find out that a lot of the money that we've been sending to Ukraine actually went into the pocket of Vladimir Zelensky. That would not be the craziest possible outcome of this, because again, given how politics works in Ukraine, it would actually be shocking if that wasn't the outcome here.

The number one predictor of intergenerational poverty in the United States remains single motherhood. The single motherhood rate in the black community was 20% in 1960; it's upwards of 70% today.

His account should be restored—and this is coming from somebody who really dislikes an enormous number of Donald Trump's tweets.

It seems as though when a story gets killed preemptively like this, it is almost universally a story that negatively affects one side of the political aisle. I can't remember the last time there was a story on the right that was disinformation or misinformation where social media stepped in and they went, 'We cannot have this. This cannot be distributed. We're going to all conclude so that this information is not distributed.'

If you want to be good at a thing or be successful at a thing, you have to commit to the thing. That's true whether you're talking about marriage, educational success, or your career.

TikTok keeps claiming that they're not handing over data to the Chinese, but it's pretty obvious they are handing over data to the Chinese. And so, it's now been banned in a number of states for state employees, because they're afraid that TikTok is using state employee data in order to garner information on how the government works.

When you're single, your boundaries of happiness and unhappiness—you can be a 0 in terms of happiness, you can be like a 10 in terms of happiness. And then you get married, and it goes up to like a 20 and a negative 20 ... Then you have kids, and all limits are removed.

Politics is about the art of making it hard to vote for your opponent and easy to vote for you. Trump is fairly good at number one and god awful at number two.

This is like a litmus test question as to whether you take climate change seriously. If you're on right or left and you take climate change seriously, you should be in favor of nuclear energy. If you are not, I know that.. you have other priorities.

A bad political news cycle is what drove Joe Biden to go to Ukraine so he could completely reset the politcal table while not visiting, say, the American southern border or not visiting East Palestine, Ohio. Those are places where he's failed. Ukraine is a place where US policy has manifestly succeeded.

I just don't want to put my kids in front of a TV, and the next thing I know, my kid's asking me about gender fluidity. I'm not interested in explaining to my six-year-old son what gay marriage is. That's just not something I'm interested in explaining my six-year-old son.

If you are this unfocused, if you are this scattered, you cannot defeat the Democrat. You can't. I'm sorry. It's not going to work. And what it feels like, honestly, is it feels like Donald Trump is running a very lackluster campaign, because I'm not sure he actually wants to run.

And I would love for people to understand who are defending Ye West, that when you defend a person who's in the middle of a mental episode, you're not doing them any good. You're not adding value to the world. You're doing something quite cruel.

I think that people dating for 5, 6 years at a time, if you can't make your mind up within year 1, I think that you probably need to move on. I think people people date for too long.

Now, is [Joe Biden] the best candidate for them? Aside from Michelle Obama, yes, actually. I think he's gonna be a better candidate than Kamala Harris who's the worst politician who's ever been assembled ... She's a disaster of a politician. She makes Hillary Clinton looks smooth and authentic. She's awful at this.

If you are a young person, find an older source of wisdom, and cling to that. Find a community, and live within it. Find a social fabric, and live within it.

The exact same people will tell you that the hiding of the Hunter Biden laptop right before the 2020 election had no impact on the final vote. But supposedly, if we'd all found out that Donald Trump, in 2006, stoop'd a porn star while his wife was pregnant, that that would have shaped the outcome of the 2016 election.

The fact is that Ye West is in the middle of a mental breakdown, and we are watching it on the world's most public stage. It is the most famous person to have a mental breakdown, probably, since Howard Hughes, publicly.

The left cannot deal with the fact that Hillary Clinton didn't win in 2016, and they've been trying to reverse history ever since.

And as far as the investment that the United States has made in the Ukraine war... The truth is that the amount of money that we have spent in 2022 amounts to approximately 6% of total US defense spending.

So, basically we've destroyed half of the Russian military by just giving the weapons to Ukraine. That is a pretty solid return ... Here you're talking about a one-time expenditure that has taken out an extraordinary percentage of the Russian military. So, is it in America's interest to fund this? Sure.

I'm very hopeful about Elon buying Twitter. I think that Elon is significantly more transparent than what has taken place up till now. He seems committed to the idea that he's going to broaden the Overton window to allow for conversations that simply were banned before—everything ranging from efficacy of masks with regard to COVID to whether men can become women and all the rest.

If you're in these isolated environments, and everyone around you is involved in gangs, crime, and drugs, it's difficult to model yourself after something that you don't see in real life.

Biden seems to be a very good father ... He seems like a really good dad. Like, the stuff that he's saying to his son is stuff that, God forbid if that were happening with my kid, I'd be saying to my kid.

The good that the Internet has done... does not outweigh the bad that the Internet has done thus far.

Live out the values that you think are really important, and seek those values in others ... Second piece of advice: Don't go on Twitter until you're 26... because your brain is fully developed at that point.

Now it turns out that the indictment is just a bunch of crap. The indictment is out. It is terrible. It's a 34-count indictment. And it essentially is one count over and over and over and over again.

At a certain point here, Joe Biden is going to have to be the bad guy at a certain point here. The president of the United States is going to have to say 'Here is what a solution looks like in Ukraine, and we are going to stop funding military aid that is used this way until we get what we need.'

The left hates Ron DeSantis just as much as they hate Trump, and they hate Ron DeSantis for a different reason than they hate Trump.

In some ways, it's better for us to just ship the weaponry directly in as opposed to sending [Ukraine] the money to buy the weaponry. At least if you just ship them to weaponry, you know they have the weaponry. If you ship them the money, it might be going into Zelensky's personal bank account; you just don't know.

There were two moments where I saw an opportunity for us to come together, and one of them was the moment the COVID-19 lockdown happened. To me, it was very similar to right after 9/11 where everybody was confronted with their own mortality. 'Holy shit. We might be on the verge of a pandemic, just like in a movie, where a lot of the people we know die. We have to be kind to each other.'

So, my father had always said, and I think he's right, that you only meet the person you're going to marry when you already believe that it's time to get married.

So, do I think that Ye actually should be banned from Twitter? I think the answer is no; I don't think that Ye should be banned from Twitter.

Well, my favorite thing about Candace [Owens] is that she will say things that nobody else will say. My least favorite thing about Candace is that she will say things that nobody else will say.

I've been lobbying for years to be on 'The View.' I just think that'd be hysterically great TV. It'd be the best thing. There are very few shows that I really want to appear on, but the 'The View' is one of them.

If you could trade, say, 10% of the American military budget for the complete degradation of the Russian military, that actually is not a bad move.

The government of Ukraine has been completely corrupt for decades. There's nothing new about this. And those corruption allegations do include people like Vladimir Zelensky.

The reason that the left hates Ron DeSantis is specifically and solely because he is an effective advocate of right-wing policies.
