As a Catholic, I was taught that the worst thing was heresy because not only are you sinning, you're also dragging somebody else into your sinful state. Well, Donald Trump is a heretic against reality; he lives in this fantasy world where only his emotions count and therefore only his reality is real. But he's also saying, "Everybody else, your reality isn't real." And so all you have to do is go, like "Hey, [audience], you're not crazy." That's the thesis statement [of my show]. Your reactions, your emotions are valid -- you actually feel that way. The world is as you perceive it. Don't let anybody say you're crazy. This is not what America is meant to be about.
