I oppose the spending of trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan, I strongly oppose Islamic extremism but don't believe that sending troops to die in two unwinnable wars makes sense.

I have been a friend of Paul Manafort's for, I don't know, almost 50 years. We go back to Young Republicans together. He has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and I choose to take him at his word.

In this business, if you don't pay your debts you're finished.

The lobbyists, the special interests, the special pleaders, if you will, the super PACs the billionaires, these people are apoplectic about the rise of Trump. He can't be bought. He can bring sweeping conservative reform.

Traditionally, Young Republicans have been a leading indicator of the direction of the party.

Bush equals Clinton equals Bush equals Obama equals Clinton. It's the same policies...immigration policies that may turn us into Europe, where hordes of Islamic madmen are raping, killing, pillaging, defecating in public fountains, harassing private citizens, elderly people - that's what's coming.

Lay low, play dumb, keep moving.

I do a lot of referendums. They can't talk back. They don't have wives. They don't have friends who tell you how to run the campaign. They are supported by special interests, so there's a lot of money in them.

Donald Trump is perfectly made up. He's perfectly coiffed. He's perfectly lit.

Let's be very clear, if you check the F.E.C. records you will see I am supporting George W. Bush

I never made any reference to John Podesta's email.Does it say #WikiLeaks, #Assange? Julian Assange said, Stone predicted that his emails would be hacked. No, I didn't. I never said anything of the kind.

The reference to John Podesta is general. It is not specific. And, by the way, he does have his time in the barrel shortly thereafter.

I am a Libertarian Republican in the Goldwater style.

Let's finish with Guccifer. My communication with him is now entirely public. It is benign.Secondarily, the timing of my communication is after, not before, I write a story for Breitbart regarding the hacking. And I never defend him from not being a Russian agent in that piece.

Nobody ever built a statue to a committee.

Politics with me isn't theater. It's performance art. Sometimes, for its own sake.
