• (Paraphrased) "If I'm running down a freeway all sweaty, they might call me crazy. If 100 people are running with me, it's a marathon."
• "The liberal agenda is to take God out of the homes and separate the families. (...) The conservative agenda is still that God runs the world. And I'm Christian, and I feel like I got the best taste on the planet, so that's Jesus. I'm Jesus gang. But the Jewish people and the Muslims are all sons of Abraham also."
• "You ain't out here getting beat up like me."
• "You're going to have to take my life."
• "If you take my life, there's going to be some college kid, some young Ye, some young Pac, that's gonna even go harder. Y'all thought George Floyd was gonna send it up, if you took my life right now, you're going to see something you never saw. So we might as well have a conversation."
• "I want Jewish children to look at they daddy and ask 'why is Ye mad at us?'"

It's just us talking about killing each other, and Jewish people getting paid off of it."
