Thank you for having me, Tucker.

I appreciate it.

Well, obviously you're right about that.

There's no question.

And I think what you're also correct about is the fact that these words are specifically being used in a way to intimidate people and persuade them to avoid speaking out against what they find to be a huge problem in our country's priorities right now.

And what I would like to say to anyone who's been smeared as an anti-Semite when they don't have any hatred in their hearts at all for the Jewish people is don't let them win when they do that to you.

Because you know in your heart you're not an anti-Semite.

You know in your heart that you're not a Nazi.

The people closest to you in your life know that.

And so you as an American have every right in the world to be critical of the fact that regardless of which...

presidential administration we're talking about, our priorities are messed up.

And there isn't enough focus on all the various aspects of American society that are completely falling apart right now as we speak.

There's been political violence in this country.

I'm going to put my cards on the table and say, I've been guilty of using inflammatory rhetoric, certainly.

But I think what you're saying here is important, especially as it pertains to

how Americans communicate with one another about these incredibly controversial issues.

I get that people get passionate, but you have to understand the motivations of the person who's trying to smear you, number one.

Number two, if you are met with this type of rhetoric from a fellow American, you're so right.

do not become what you claim to hate.

Don't become hateful yourself.
