As long as I can remember, I’ve congratulated and welcomed new Americans to our country with confidence. But the past eight or nine months have shaken that. On Need to Know today, Jay and I talk with NR’s own Charles C.W. Cooke, an immigrant from Great Britain. We speak of Trumpian headlines — the assault on a woman reporter and subsequent slandering of said woman by the Trump campaign, the violence at Trump rallies, the press, the party, and much more. I felt the need to apologize to Charlie for the state of the nation, and asked him whether he’s regretted his decision to immigrate. Jay and I then spoke a bit about the Dems, and of more cheerful things. Do join us.
