| You truly, and I didn't know either until now, how much we have in common. | |
| And I just want you to know, being on my show is 20 times more valuable than being published by Princeton University Press. | |
| Just as a fact of life, I just want you to know that. | |
| By the way, more mind-blowing about our kinship that you didn't know about, or I, is... | |
| You have used the exact same artwork on the cover of your book as on the cover of my commentary on the book of Genesis. | |
| Oh my goodness. | |
| That's good taste. | |
| Yes, exactly. | |
| That's right. | |
| Good taste. | |
| Joshua Mitchell is the man. | |
| He's a professor of political theory at Georgetown University where posters of him appear throughout the campus and students genuflect. | |
| It is a very moving thing. | |
| To know that there is one campus, of course I'm kidding, his colleagues don't even know that he has published this book, which is mind-boggling. | |
| I have to have you on again because I am certain, and I've said it all of my life, that this is ultimately a religious issue. | |
| Yes, yes. | |
| And you don't have to be religious to even understand that. | |
| I don't know if you're religious, but I know that... | |
| You are. | |
| Which religion? | |
| Well, to be somewhat smirkish, I would say I do missionary work in the Anglican Church, in the Episcopal Church. | |
| So you do missionary work among the Anglicans? | |
| Well, in the Episcopal Church, actually. | |
| I move, you know, my disgust with the... | |
| Yes, you know where this goes. | |
| That's why you said it exactly. | |
| Well, look, it's part of my theory. | |
| I'm Jewish, and it's funny. | |
| Today, after this show, later this afternoon, I have a Zoom session with six or seven Jewish liberals, which is redundant. | |
| But nevertheless, some dear man wanted to have a dialogue, and I'm fine with it. | |
| It'll be fascinating. | |
| What I believe is, I assume what you believe, that the left has poisoned both our religions. | |
| It has. | |
| You know, to put it in the theological terms I used before, you know, the mystery of God is it's both the God of judgment and the God of love, the God of mercy, if you want to put that away. | |
| And I think what's happened in the modern age, and especially in the 20th century, and maybe it's because of the catastrophes of World War II, I don't know. | |
| The Two World Wars and beyond. | |
| Anyway, it kills me. | |
| Listen, I'm having you on again. | |
| Joshua Mitchell, American Awakening. |
