“The fact is, all of that fear, that chronic fear, the mass anxiety, is artificial. None of it is natural. It is not organic. It’s not a new normal. And it is not inevitable. It is the kind of thing that is so weak.” –Tammy Bruce

“It’s always about learning. It’s always about getting better. In the military, I was a student of warfare. My whole life, I’ve been a student of warfare, trying to prepare myself to be the best leader and operator I could be in the SEAL team because I knew I wanted to do that, from a very early age. And then same thing with writing. I am focused on getting better and better with each one. So I want the next book to be better than Red Sky Mourning.” — Jack Carr

“It’s in German, but it actually makes it far more, it kind of hits harder because of that, Downfall. It’s a German language movie about Hitler in the bunker. Now, many of you will have seen there are memes that are made based on a very famous scene in the movie where essentially Hitler’s top generals are like, it’s over, dude. Like we’ve lost, you know? And he goes completely nuts.” — Buck Sexton
