I think there's a lot of antisemitism around.

It's gotten worse over the last several years.

Much of it, as you know, emanated from the right.

Yeah, there are people on the left who are antisemites.

I think that there are a lot of people who today conflate.

their, you know, views about Israel with their views about Jews.

You know, it's very disturbing to me, the anti-Semitism, which has been around, of course, forever and needs to stop.

Yeah, I was not asked the question, I can tell you that.

And I don't know why they would ask him that question, and I would have found it offensive if I were asked that question.

You would?

Yeah.

Can you just explain that?

Why?

For those who may not get it.

Well, okay.

So, I mean, it would be like asking, I mean, I assume your family originated many, many years ago in Africa.

It would be like asking if you're an agent of Africa or an African country.

My family's been in this country for four generations now, and we're patriots.

My father served in the military, my grandfather, my uncle.

My sister was the commerce secretary for the country.
