He has.Err, how? I'm not aware Nick has ever read her.
You must have missed the story where he bragged that he kicked his feet up at Wells Fargo and read Atlas Shrugged instead of doing work.
He also recommended Anthem to people on his show a few times (which, to be fair is not a bad story, and one of Rand's better works).
Without getting too much into it (I believe I have before), I think Rand was a selfish arrogant cunt who liked huffing her own farts too much. She also was a atheist.
Which is pretty much what Nick is too, if you ask me.
My own opinion of her is similar to that of Whitaker Chambers. I am no Rand fan.
Again, I think the sticking point for Nick is the sacrifice. Matthew 26:53 has Jesus saying "Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?"Nick has a lot of stupid takes on religion, but this one always baffled me because of how much of everything you have to get wrong to wind up at that conclusion. Was he in the bathroom snorting drywall every single time they read scripture at church? I mean, the only one in the Bible who suggests Jesus should be ruling the world is Satan.
Jesus could have done what Nick suggested (and what Jesus said he could have done), but he didn't because his death was a necessary component of man's salvation. It's the entire point of Jesus. Jesus ruling the world as a mortal man would have doomed mankind.
And Nick thinks Jesus is a loser because of what he did. Nick believes in the accumulation of wealth and power for personal gain exclusively.
