Am I just Armenian, right?
And look, I love my Armenian heritage, absolutely love it, but I was born and raised in America and I love this country.
And if you do love this country, engaging in divisive garbage that just tears this country apart, that makes Americans turn on one another is really not the way to go.
And so I just made a decision at some point that I'm not going to engage in that
And the only time that I will allow myself a little more freedom in my rhetoric is when I'm referring to a foreign country that is harming us, okay?
Yes.
So in the case of the United States, in the case of my fellow Americans, in the case of people I disagree with politically, let's have that conversation.
It's okay if it gets fiery.
I'm known to get very passionate.
But I hope that the message I'm sending is that, again, I see the humanity in the person I'm disagreeing with first and foremost, and that once the debate is over,
There's no engaging in the dehumanizing, disgusting rhetoric that Mark Levin honestly has been spewing for many, many years.

And I knew this was going to happen, Tucker.
They were waiting for something to pin on you outside of your...
evidence-based critique of what's happening in this US-Israel alliance.
And in fact, I had a conversation about this with someone close to me.
So someone told me, look, everything that you've been saying about what's happening in Gaza and what Israel's been up to is...
backed up by evidence, right?
So they can't really come after you for that.
