“Donald Trump came along and spoke in a language that speaks directly to a portion of the Republican base with what they want to hear. I don`t think that he actually has a very significant ideology.”

I think it’s a message of economic nationalism. It’s obviously one that has bubbled up before in certain pockets, but it’s never been the sort of powerful phenomenon that it is today.

This is I think a dramatic point for conservatives. They are waking up to the fact that this guy, that Donald Trump has an ability to speak to people who they thought were theirs ideologically, people who they thought were a part of their team.

And for those of us who have, you know, looked in sort of the established order of the political fray over the course of the past several years, it looks like chaos. But to the people I think it looks like democracy.

Donald Trump’s rule at that time, the only thing that you couldn’t joke about was a suggestion that he has less money that he claimed to.

What we’re witnessing really is a political realignment, I mean I think we’re moving from a traditional understanding of left-right politics that we’ve had for a long time.

I think this is a moment where Donald Trump recognized the Republican establishment was much weaker, the party leaders were much weaker than they thought they were in terms of being able to dictate any outcomes.

I think that [Chris] Christie’s endorsement is, you know, it’s a sign that – you know, he is who we thought he was in so many different respects. He’s someone who ambition is the only thing that I think is bigger than his appetite.

I think one of the things we have in this modern, individualistic age is a recognition that happiness can look very different for very different people. Happiness is not necessarily about how much money you make, happiness isn’t necessarily about these aspects of your life.

And I think that that’s something that really is moving us to a new reality, where the parties are going to have to retrofit themselves and adapt to this new realignment.

Few years ago [Donald] Trump was being roasted by Comedy Central. They always have rules about things that you can’t joke about.

To something that looks very different. The thing to understand here is that Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, they’re not the disease and they’re not the symptom of the disease. They are the beta test of a cure for the perspective of the people.

I think in this case, it`s a situation where he saw the one guy who he thinks he can maybe get a cabinet post with if he wins in Donald Trump. I think, you know, he kind of went out the door doing a number of favors in beating up Marco Rubio the way he did.

Essentially, the obligation of conservative media is to question what’s going on, and say, “Is this something that is the right thing to do? Is it something that’s constitutional? Is it something that is even wise to do?” I think that’s true regardless of who’s in power.

Conservatives have woken up to the fact they weren`t part of their team and they have a capability of having the kind of message that [Donald] Trump is delivering reach them on a very direct and very personal level so that they sign up. They are willing to go out there and work for him.

Sun Microsystems had the right people to make Java into a first-class language.

Learning French is trivial: the word for horse is cheval, and everything else follows in the same way.

The problems of language here are really serious. We wish to speak in some way about the structure of the atoms. But we cannot speak about atoms in ordinary language.

I have three tools at my disposal – my whistle, my body language and my talk.

When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it’s funny in any language.

In English every word can be verbed.

If you spend 72 hours in a place you’ve never been, talking to people whose language you don’t speak about social, political, and economic complexities you don’t understand, and you come back as the world’s biggest know-it-all, you’re a reporter. Either that or you’re President Obama.

If I knew the language enough to know it was a horrible love song with stupid lyrics.
