Hey, welcome to Bright Part News Daily. Thanks for piano. We spent the first hour of the show talking a bit about Sylvia, talking about Native Americans blowing in your face, talking about how there's no need for elections anymore because the computer chip in your brain will know how you would vote. So we can just plug it all into the algorithm and just be done with it already. That's what they're talking about at Davos. All good stuff.

That was the first hour.

I want to present this argument here briefly.

Make sure we're on the same page of this.

Brett Stevens.

Brett Stevens is the conservative columnist at the New York Times.

And he wrote an article the other day called The Case for Trump by someone who wants him to lose.

The case for Trump by someone who wants him to lose.

So Brett Stevens, he hates Trump,

but he's going through the very healthy exercise of trying to steal man.

So here's what he said.

He said, Trump's going to be the nominee.

Lord help us.

What should those of us who have

consistently opposed him do? He said, you can't defeat an opponent if you refuse to understand

what makes him formidable. Too many people, especially progressives, fail to think deeply about

the enduring sources of his appeal and to do so without calling him names or disparaging his supporters,

or attributing his resurgence to nefarious foreign actors

or the unfairness of the electoral college.

And since I'll spend the year coming,

strenuously opposing his candidacy,

let me here make the best case for Trump that I can.
