America is ready for us to TAKE OUT THE TRASH in this election. Proud to be rolling up in a garbage truck to a Trump campaign event in North Carolina shortly. Going to clean up some actual trash on the streets first.

Couldn’t be more impressed by President Trump’s raw energy level, it’s a rare human trait. Traveled across America, crushed rally #1, flying to rally #2 in Las Vegas now. This is what Alexander Hamilton had in mind when he spoke of the need for an energetic executive as President

Cut the regulatory state. Cut the welfare state. Cut the warfare state. Cut the foreign nanny state. Old Dems wanted to cut the latter, new Dems don’t want to cut any. The Old Right wanted to cut the former, the New Right wants to cut the latter. The right answer: SHUT IT DOWN.🇺🇸

If you’re 18 & want to be a rebel, try this: tell your classmates you love your country, believe in God, and want to get married & raise your kids in a stable nuclear family. See what happens.

Great to address a packed stadium at Liberty University today.

Less than 16% of Gen Z says they’re proud to be American & we have a 25% recruitment deficit in the U.S. military. Here’s one step towards fixing our deficit of civic identity in the next generation: every high school senior should have to pass the same civics test required of legal immigrants before naturalization - that is, before enjoying the full privileges of citizenship. It’s actually not hard: score 60% or higher on a 10-question civics exam, drawn from a pool of 100 questions about U.S. history and government that one can study beforehand. Easier questions include naming the current president and explaining what the Declaration of Independence did (per the government’s cheat sheet, “declared our independence” is an acceptable answer). Harder questions include naming one of the Founding Fathers who wrote the Federalist Papers. You’d also have to swear a modified version of the naturalization oath, declaring allegiance to the United States, renouncing all loyalty to other nations, and agreeing to perform federal service in time of war or national emergency.

My new book TRUTHS (out Sept. 24) sounds the alarm about the decline of civic nationalism & much more. Pre-order here now: bit.ly/3KKNTE0
