Getting Biblical or historical perspective from this dude is risky at best. He always comes to his preconceived conclusions.
I remember right after 9/11 he tried to interview Chuck Clancy with that same tactic on a topic he was really not up to speed about and Clancy hammered him for being dead wrong.
But he’s a historian and wicked smart. Just ask him, he’ll tell you.
*an* historian. Oops.
