Can you imagine what American music would be like if it actually were only written by, quote, heritage Americans?

Would there be any American music?

Yeah, it's very telling, isn't it, that people get offended when someone says we should treat everyone with love and respect.

It's like they understand that to be an attack on MAGA and on ICE, which it is.

It's not an attack exactly, but it is a rebuke to them.

Yeah.

They're asked the questions.

They weren't going out being grandstanders, to be fair, right?

And they're giving press avails, whatever they do, press conferences over there.

They're asked the question.

They gave honest and I thought rather thoughtful and eloquent answers, really.

I mean, they distinguished the country from the Trump administration, basically.

So they weren't just saying America's a horrible place because we have a horrible president.

They went out of their way to do that.

I sort of admire them.

And as you say, the key point is, I mean, they could decline to answer the question, I suppose, but you don't see the Saudis or the Russians or the Iranians or the Chinese doing a lot of this.

And you know what?

I'm glad the Americans are doing it.

So no, I'm totally with you.

And MAGA world and Trump himself, the grievance culture, it is really insane, right?
