I think he thinks he’s qualified because:
1. He’s a reporter and reporters report facts...which he claims to be doing.
2. He is a sometimes, in his mind, defender of “the Christian philosophy”.
As I stated, I think he is terrible at lining up real conservative scholars in his debates on moral, social, or biblical issues.
He’s equally terrible about reporting just about everything......I haven’t watched the guy in over a decade. He put on this tough guy blue collar conservative image, but that’s all it was.
