I have always liked U.S. Sen. Tim Scott. I’ve met him a few times and we had a great time when he came to tour the construction site for my Leadership and Economic Opportunity Center on the South Side of Chicago. We have much in common – we both descend from that horrible America legacy...
“Donald Trump is the best interview in the world.” I’ve interviewed former President Donald Trump more than twenty times over the past eight years. I made the above observation early in the 2015-16 cycle, and it is still true. My most recent interview of the former (and I hope future) president produced a lengthy exchange...

It encompasses a much broader concept than the separation of...
As I write this, one week after his shockingly poor performance in his debate against former President Trump, it seems increasingly clear that President Biden will be forced to abandon his re-election efforts and allow the convention to pick a new nominee. Biden would become the first president in 56 years to choose not to...
I was born in Iran, and as a young student I joined the masses of protesters in the streets of Tehran in 1979 shouting “Death to America.” But I have grown to love America and what this blessed nation stands for. In 1982 I became a dual citizen and began studying at the University of...
