| They make this up. | |
| The man has read the New York Times too often. | |
| This guy Shadi Hamid. | |
| What is he talking about? | |
| You believe that 80 million Americans or whatever the number was that voted for Donald Trump are into a Trump-centric ethno-nationalism? | |
| What the hell is that anyway? | |
| You think that the average Trump voter did not ache? | |
| To have non-whites in their movement? | |
| I tell you, I ache to have this man on the show. | |
| It'll show he has character. | |
| Because almost every leftist ever invited never comes on. | |
| For good reason, from their perspective. | |
| Because they have no answers to very, very... | |
| Politely asked questions, like the one of my piece this week. | |
| If America is systemically racist, why have millions of blacks moved here in the last three decades? | |
| Four or five decades. | |
| Why? | |
| They have no answer. | |
| Okay, back. | |
| So this is his view of the right. | |
| Ethnocentric, excuse me, ethno-nationalist Trump-centered people. | |
| Who still drape themselves in some of the trappings of organized religion? | |
| What does that mean? | |
| That means some of them are Christian? | |
| God, Jews like me must drive them crazy. | |
| You know, a third of the Jews in the United States, it's little, but it's not tiny, voted for Donald Trump. | |
| I guess they didn't think it was an ethno-nationalist, Trump-centric movement. | |
| Donald Trump's boisterous rallies were more focused on blood and soil than on the Son of God. | |
| Whose political rallies since World War II was focused on the Son of God? | |
| This is what goes for thoughtful writing, and this guy is better than almost anyone at the Atlantic. | |
| The Atlantic is a rag sheet. | |
| But it's a sophisticated sounding rag sheet, so they're all impressed with one another. | |
| This is what they write. | |
| What kind of line is that? | |
| Blood and soil? | |
| Blood and soil is a Nazi... | |
| It's a Nazi... | |
| It comes from the Nazis, by the way. | |
| The German Nazis. | |
| What blood and soil is he talking about? | |
| And this is their best. | |
| This is the best the Atlantic has to give. | |
| He has actually some thoughtful lines in here. | |
| A Trump rally was more focused on blood and soil than on the Son of God. | |
| 99% of the readers of this who read the Atlantic thought, wow, that is profound. | |
| Wow. | |
| God, I hadn't thought of it that way. | |
| Trump himself played both savior and martyr, and it is easy to marvel at the hold that a man so imperfect can have on his soldiers. | |
| So you marvel at it. | |
| Really? | |
| Well, I agree with soldiers, because we are fighting a war for the Western world. | |
| That is correct. | |
| I acknowledge. | |
| I am one of those soldiers. | |
| I agree. | |
| And we do not ask about the character qualifications of our generals. | |
| We ask whether we can win the war against those destroying Western civilization. | |
| That is correct. | |
| Would I like a man who was even better individually? | |
| Sure. | |
| Does it matter to me? | |
| Very, very minimally, even though character is the most important thing to me in general. | |
| That is the reason I raised my kids, telling them almost daily, I don't give a damn what college you get into. | |
| I don't even give a damn if you go to college. | |
| I only care about your character. | |
| That is how I raised my boys. | |
| So I'm pretty character-centered. | |
| But my boys are not my president. | |
| Get it? | |
| I'll give you a baseball analogy. | |
| How about that? | |
| A sports analogy. | |
| I gave medical analogies, in fact, throughout the Trump era. | |
| You have two surgeons, one a man of impeccable character and one of dubious character. | |
| The one with dubious character is known to be the best surgeon for pancreatic cancer that we have. | |
| You have pancreatic cancer. | |
| Would you choose the one with the impeccable character or the one with the great record? | |
| And operating on pancreatic cancer. | |
| So those of you who delude yourselves into thinking character is the only criterion, you are deluded. | |
| You desire to be deluded like my last caller, a sweet man in Chicago who understandably lost a lot of his friends. | |
| They didn't realize how foolish their dear, dear friend was. | |
| Still preoccupied with Donald Trump's character rather than the fate of America. | |
| I care about America not Trump. |
