The government does a lot of stuff that it shouldn't do - the Department of Education, for instance.

I'm socially conservative in some things. I don't know a label that fits, honestly.

The majority of Western culture came out of Europe, which is not comparable to America. It came out of nation states based on geographical and ethnic foundations. America is based on principles, a very different kind of country.

We really don't have free speech protections. I mean, if it exists, there are rules about it. If it exists, it is regulated in Europe, you know?

Western culture is what gave us Mozart, and Da Vinci, and Wagner, and Beethoven.

I believe in and love the populist, nationalist, antiglobalist rebellion happening all over the West.

I like the free-speech stuff, the political-correctness stuff.
