Quote of the Day - Brad Thor Edition

If you're unfamiliar with Brad Thor (I was), he is the author of technothrillers such as his most recent novel Foreign Agent.  He was interviewed by Reason's Nick Gillespie on current political events (and his new novel).  Today's QotD comes at 25:40 of the interview:
