- Coastal elites are embarrassed about their status, unlike Southern elites who openly display it.
- Country music is now the most popular form; the pendulum has swung from the coasts toward the middle.
- Lack of investment in flyover regions, shipping jobs overseas, then wondering why people are angry.
- Tech guys got zero-percent loans after the crisis and dumped money into the market while regular Americans felt left behind.
- You can't dictate deeply personal things to people; you can't tell them their children are property of the state.
- A seven-year-old feeling weird about gender shouldn't have public school teachers tell them how things work.
- Institutional overreach on gender and family values creates resentment toward public institutions.
- No one ever gets power and says they're satisfied; it's always more—happens on both the right and left.
- His job as a comedian is being outside the system and making fun of whoever has power.
