You know why I have to do this. And it&#8217;s all bull.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;No one really believes him. On both sides.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has not ruined himself in our times.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump is not identitarian or Alt-Right. He&#8217;s this fascinating opening for us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg: &#8220;He&#8217;s got the right instincts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;For someone like this, you have to kowtow to power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg: &#8220;You have to pay your ritual obeisance to the Jews.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;What&#8217;s radical is that he said he would be neutral dealing with the Palestinians and the Israelis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The neocons don&#8217;t believe him. They freak out more than we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg: &#8220;Very high strung.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;High verbal intelligence, pushy people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg: &#8220;Have a lot of chutzpah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;John Podhoretz. If we were to invent a mascot for Jewish power, we wouldn&#8217;t go so far as to create John Podhoretz. That would make us blush. That would be too far.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They don&#8217;t trust Trump. They think he&#8217;s an anti-Semite. Emotionally, some of them think he&#8217;s Hitler.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;James Kirchick said to me at the latest NPI conference: &#8216;When I see these Trump things, I see Nuremburg rallies. I&#8217;m losing sleep over Trump.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not about what he says, it is about who he is and what he represents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg: &#8220;It&#8217;s not clear he&#8217;s under control.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the day of AIPAC, his only canned speech of the campaign&#8230; He also had his news conference where he talks about leaving NATO and he also announced his foreign policy team, which doesn&#8217;t have any Jews on it. And he&#8217;s announcing a non-interventionist foreign policy&#8230; That wasn&#8217;t an accident.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;He kisses ass and kicks them in the stomach at the same time.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Greg: &#8220;He&#8217;s saying, don&#8217;t control me. It&#8217;s not anti-Jewish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Richard: &#8220;He&#8217;s threading the needle&#8230; It&#8217;s a groundbreaking phenomenon.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Donald Trump under control?
