Trump is so good 16 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: at that sort of thing. 17 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 5: That's Donald Trump calling into the locker room after a 18 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 5: USA hockey beat Canada for the gold medal. 19 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 2: Yesterday in overtime. I wish I had watched it. 20 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 5: I didn't. 21 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd heard the result. I was doing other things, 22 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: and I watched the entire game, every single minute, knowing 23 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: the result. It's one of the most exciting hockey games 24 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: I've ever seen in my life, maybe the most exciting 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: other than the Miracle on Eyes. So I didn't know 26 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: in overtime they do three on three. Yeah, okay, that's 27 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: a player. So the ice is wide open. Nothing but 28 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: end to end action, the shootout. I hate that. I hate. 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: Oh it's stupid. Yeah, you can't end it by playing 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: one sport, so you switch to another. Sch uh huh, 31 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: it's dumb. 32 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 5: And so they Canada had two to one more shots 33 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 5: on goal than we had, yet we won. 34 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, they really dominated the game. They dominated the action. 35 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: The only stat they didn't win is the number of 36 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: times to puck entered the goal. 37 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 5: This is the only time I'm comfortable using we when 38 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 5: talking about a sports team because I am an American. 39 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,679 Speaker 5: Yeah I can't, I'm not part of the team, but 40 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 5: I am an American and they're playing for USA. 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: And man, that Canada team, I actually felt bad for him. 42 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: They were so hurt. 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 5: I mean, they were in pain standing there, having to 44 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 5: listen to the US national anthem and with their silver 45 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 5: medals around the nag. 46 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 2: It clearly was a devastating loss for those guys. Yeah, 47 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: it was. It was was amazing. Well, it's cool. 48 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 5: They take tremendous pride in the fact that the sport 49 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 5: was invented there. They're the best players in the world, 50 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 5: always have been since the sport was invented, and even 51 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 5: with their tiny population, I mean we barely one, they 52 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 5: have a tenth of the population, so I mean that's 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 5: pretty impressive what they do with That's truly. 54 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: The national game in Canada, and we also play hockey, 55 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: so it's an enormous point of pride for them. And 56 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: after the recent tensions with two countries, mostly spawned by 57 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: our president, Canada took that one hard. 58 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 4: Well. 59 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 5: You could have given in and been our fifty first 60 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 5: state and we had all been on the same team 61 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 5: beating Sweden for the gold. 62 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: Medal, So that was your choice. Oh yeah, I guess 63 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: what did I say I was gonna do? I got 64 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: an email? Oh that's right, Yeah, there it is, and 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: I know it was something there. It is right here, 66 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: Oh Mark rights, guys. Canada is the only country I've 67 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: ever been to where I experienced unmistakable anti Americanism, sometimes subtle, 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: sometimes impossible to miss. There's a significant percentage of Candians 69 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: have a real chip on the shoulder about the US. 70 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: I've run into it in various situations, from store clerks 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: to people I meet in social circumstances. Of course, it 72 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: wasn't everyone, but enough to get my attention. It was 73 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: quite an unpleasant surprise. Was this recent? 74 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 5: Does this sense Trump did his thing? Because that was 75 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 5: not my experience. I used to travel to Canada pretty 76 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: regularly and I never ran into any anti americanism back. 77 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: In the day. He actually's been traveling to Canada since 78 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: the seventies. 79 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 5: Wow, I've never run into that, and I talked to 80 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 5: a lot of guys in bars over the years in Canada. Yeah, 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 5: I can see how the post everything Trump said that 82 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 5: that could change. 83 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 2: Definitely. Yeah. I don't think he's been there since that. Yeah, 84 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: uh yeah, that'll do enough. They look for excuses to 85 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 2: criticize their big neighbor to the south. Well, Trump's given 86 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 2: them a couple of excuses lately. But it's a shame. 87 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 2: I hope we can mend fences. I really do, speak 88 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: of Canadian. 89 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 5: Speaking of foreign policy, last week we and everybody in 90 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 5: news highlighted AOC ease swing and miss on the question 91 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 5: of what do you do if China attacks Taiwan? So 92 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 5: it wasn't a gotcha question given the fact that AOC 93 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 5: had traveled to Germany to the big Munich security conference 94 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 5: thing that they have every year to specifically show that 95 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 5: she has foreign policy chops and is capable of running 96 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 5: for president. That was the whole reason for being there. 97 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 5: And maybe I mean, if it's not number one, it's 98 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 5: in the top three or four most obvious foreign policy 99 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 5: questions on the planet. Is what do you do about 100 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 5: China want to take Taiwan? And does the United States 101 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 5: step up and defend them? And do we have that 102 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 5: audio around? I should have asked for that when she 103 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 5: was asked the question, and she hums and haws for 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 5: a very long time before she gets a single word out. 105 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: Do we happen to have that? Michael, yes or no? 106 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 6: No? 107 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: You're shaking your head. You're daddy? Okay, definitely for it's 108 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: my fault for not asking for it. Can you look 109 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 2: for it? Is this a possibility? Okay? 110 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 5: She was asked the question, and she she was not 111 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 5: at all able to answer the question, you know, fluidly, 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 5: lucidly in anyway. She barely got no idea. She could 113 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 5: barely get any words out of her mouth at all. 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: And she has been criticized so much about every news 115 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 5: outlet that I took in, including your left leaning ones, 116 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 5: were like that was not good and I'm a big 117 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 5: fan of Mark Calprin's political newsletter just because of the 118 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 5: guests he has on on the podcast and people from 119 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 5: different words, and they were all like, this may have 120 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 5: done her. 121 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: In this she was some sort of serious presidential contender 122 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: is just insane. I mean it always has been. 123 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 5: But here she was when she was asked the question, uh, 124 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 5: does the United States come to Taiwan's defense if it's 125 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 5: attacked by China? 126 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 4: You know, I think that this is such a you know, 127 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 4: I think that. 128 00:06:59,520 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 7: This is a. 129 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 5: And then she got to an answer that wasn't any 130 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 5: good after that, but WHOA. Okay, so she's doing serious 131 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 5: damage control. Like I said, a lot of your political 132 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 5: pundit heavyweights of all political stripes have said this may 133 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 5: have doomed her, Like fundraisers who are willing to throw 134 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 5: money away might be saying no way. 135 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: That sorry, and for this never mind the presidency, which 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: again is laughable. But she is going after Chuck Schumer's. 137 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 5: Senate seat right anyway. So she put out this tweet 138 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 5: yesterday to try to explain what happened. 139 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 8: If you think that I don't understand foreign policy because 140 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 8: out of hours of discourse about international affairs. I pause 141 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 8: to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues 142 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 8: that currently exist on Earth. I'm afraid the issue is 143 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 8: not my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've 144 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 8: gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks. 145 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: Before he speak, so many questions. Number one, is that 146 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 2: her dog snoring or her man or a homeless shelter 147 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: or what it's. 148 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 5: Her dog snoring? Which if if you're running for president 149 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 5: and you what do you think of that? 150 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: Katie? 151 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 6: You like that. 152 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: She's a homeless shelter. 153 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 5: So you're completely humiliating, right, You're completely human. This may 154 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 5: have doomed you're what people were considering a legitimate shot 155 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 5: of being the nominee for president for the Democratic Party. 156 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 5: And you're gonna clean it up with a video in 157 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 5: which you obviously have a cold or have been crying 158 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 5: or something seem emotionally upset, and you're gonna have the 159 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 5: phone next to your pug. 160 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 2: It's practically drowning you out with it snoring. I didn't 161 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: hear a word she said because of the dog snoring. 162 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: To be honest with you, do you think that. 163 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 8: I don't understand foreign policy because out of hours of 164 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 8: discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about you, 165 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 8: one of these sensitive to political issues that currently exist 166 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 8: on curse. I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding, 167 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 8: but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten adjusted to 168 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 8: a president that never thinks before he speaks. 169 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 2: Ohka, Well, and I hemed and hawed and said nothing 170 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: for one solid minute when you asked me to deliver 171 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: an oral book report because I hadn't read the book, 172 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: and now you're accusing me of not knowing the material. 173 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 2: How dare you teach my kids that?

But as always, it's the great James Lindsay. 187 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: You explained it in a way I could understand the 188 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: Darvo Deny attack, reverse victim and offender. How dare you? 189 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: How dare you accuse me of not knowing foreign policy 190 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: just because I whiffed by like four feet on one 191 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: of the most basic and important questions on the globe, right, 192 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: how dare you?

It's a hit on her staff. 201 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 5: But she's clearly, you know, putting together and thinking about 202 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 5: running for president. How did they let her walk into 203 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 5: that conference without having her read up at least on 204 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 5: like that topic, ready to go on something, unless that 205 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 5: was her sitting there. 206 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 2: Taiwan? I know they told me something about Taiwan. We 207 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 2: talked about this on the plane. What was the thing 208 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: about Taiwan? 209 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that this is such a you know, 210 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: I think that. 211 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 5: This is a does she bounce back from this or 212 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 5: is this she paused? Is this seen by such a 213 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 5: tiny slice of people it doesn't make any difference. 214 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Probably more than the latter. I 215 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: don't know. I think it's bigger with the like the 216 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: people she can lie are in the in the fundraising 217 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: the idea of AOC as president.

You don't just sit there silent. 243 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: Just a bunch of time killing phrases. I think, I think, 244 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 2: I wonder if maybe you can Is anybody either you 245 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: jump in with. I'm really glad you asked that question. 246 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 5: That's definitely at the top of the list of things 247 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 5: we all need to discuss and have a conversation as 248 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 5: a country on how we want to handle it. 249 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 2: And while you're saying all that, you're thinking of your answer, Well, 250 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: you've got to be completely unaware of the Taiwan issue 251 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: and groping again for something you saw or somebody told 252 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: you not to say. It's an extremely sensitive issue. Just 253 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: start there, or that's an enormously important question. I'm glad 254 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: you asked it. Our policy has long been strategic ambiguity. 255 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: I understand why that is. I'm not going to change 256 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: that here on this stage today. 257 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 6: Ha ha ha ha. 258 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: But I know Taiwan is an incredibly important friend ally 259 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: and asset to the United States. Come on, yeah, I 260 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: uh well, I think I wonder I pause, come on, 261 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: because I thought deeply, and you're bothered by that. I 262 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 2: think the problem is. 263 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 5: With you know, Okay, I'm voting for the dog. All right, 264 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 5: stay here. We do need to talk about Iran. We 265 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 5: haven't talked about as much as we usually do, with 266 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 5: all sources saying we are going to attack them at 267 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 5: some point. It's just how much, when, how sustained, et cetera. 268 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, over on CNN, quite a get, quite a coup, 269 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 2: the President calling in apparently to one of their shows 270 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: to talk about tariffs. 271 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 5: Right after the tariff ruling on Friday. You know, everybody 272 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 5: had the breaking news, breaking news. This was a huge story, obviously, 273 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 5: the Supreme Court ruling against Trump's power to tariff. The 274 00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 5: President called into CNN. 275 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: John in Virginia, Republican, let's hear from you. 276 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 9: Well, this is John there, and look, this is the 277 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 9: worst decision you've ever had in your life. Practically Jack 278 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 9: and Jacksicano agree with me. Right, this is a terrible decision. 279 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 9: And you have Hakeem Jeffries, he's a dope. And you 280 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 9: have Chuck Chumer, who can't cooka cheeseburger. Of course these 281 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 9: people are happy, but true Americans will not be happy. 282 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 9: And you have the woman earlier. I assume she's a woman, 283 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 9: she's a Democrat, but she's devastated. 284 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: All right, we'll go to tester. 285 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 5: Democratic caller Prank calls to call in shows the six 286 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 5: people watching that must have been really confused and or amused. 287 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: The nineties called who's want there? Prank's back, who's watching? 288 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: C Span? 289 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 5: So obviously that was a like AI recording that they 290 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 5: had locked and loaded. Sounded like to me, did it? 291 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 6: Yeah? 292 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, you're probably right, and uh. 293 00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 6: Yeah. 294 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 5: Trump given his press conference on Friday where he came 295 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 5: out and called the said he was disappointed in the 296 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: justices and they should be ashamed, and their embarrassment to 297 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 5: the country and their family should be ashamed, and all 298 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 5: they're under. 299 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 2: The control of mysterious foreign influences. Oh my god, that 300 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: was one of his worst moments. 301 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 5: That's what the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board says they 302 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 5: thought that was the low point of Trump's second term 303 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 5: so far, him going after the conservative justices and saying 304 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 5: they're an embarrassment and probably on the take for foreign governments. 305 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 5: We're so used to this sort of talk now it 306 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 5: barely even lands with me. But that's you go back 307 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 5: a few years, and that would be such a monumental thing. 308 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 5: The President just said that members of the Supreme Court 309 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 5: are on the take from foreign governments, right, and then 310 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 5: you've got the left saying all sorts of just ridiculous 311 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 5: crap about the Supreme Court all the time, just right, 312 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,359 Speaker 5: completely inaccurate. 313 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: I just we've degenerated to a point where it's just 314 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: it's discouraging, and it's very difficult to get anything done. 315 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: Our political discourse just gotten so stupid. 316 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, they haven't figured out how they're going to unwind 317 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 5: the whole tariff thing, or if they're going to try 318 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 5: to unwind the whole tariff thing with the two hundred 319 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 5: and forty billion dollars or whatever that various people paid, 320 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 5: the various things. And then the one who you're always 321 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 5: bringing up, how do you even measure a business that 322 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 5: shut down that decided well, I can't be any business 323 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 5: anymore because I can't afford to do this. 324 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,239 Speaker 2: And just laid off twenty people. Yeah, that sort of thing. 325 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 2: How do you pay them back? Yeah, untangling. It is 326 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 2: going to be a nightmare of lawsuits. Mostly the loyals 327 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 2: get paid, and that's what's important. Let's so go ahead, 328 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: let's check in on Iran when we come back. 329 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 5: Also, there's the Wall Street Jurial Journal mentioning it again 330 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 5: has some audio of people that were in the streets 331 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 5: when they opened fire in Tehran, and it's really damned 332 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 5: interesting and at least horrible and at. 333 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: Least partially why we're going to war, I think. 334 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 5: So we got all that on the way. If you 335 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 5: missed the segment, get the podcast Armstrong and Getty on. 336 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 4: Demand Armstrong and Getty. 337 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 6: It turned very pret all we heard those gunshots. That 338 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 6: was when we are actually to realize ruin of laws 339 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 6: the more people we killed. And that's you have from 340 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 6: all around the streets. 341 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 2: So that is from Wall Street Journal today. 342 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 5: They talked to four different people and have their eyewitness 343 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 5: testimony as protesters that were on the street in Iran 344 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 5: various places on January eighth, when the government decided all right, 345 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 5: that's enough. You're weeks of hundreds of thousands, millions of 346 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 5: people in the street protesting, We're putting an end to 347 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 5: it now, and slaughtered probably tens of thousands of people, 348 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 5: has pointed out in the Wall Street Journal, by modern standards, 349 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 5: where you can get so much information out and about, 350 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 5: it's amazing how little has escaped from that night when 351 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 5: all those protesters were slaughtered for all kinds of reasons, 352 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 5: starting with they didn't go into the streets with their 353 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: cell phones because it's so easy to be tracked by 354 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 5: the government there or they if you have a cell 355 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 5: phone and you did have it with you, you erase 356 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 5: any information you had, any videos or anything like that, 357 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: because if they grab your phone and find it, they're 358 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 5: gonna kill you or torture you. Well, and they were 359 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 5: systematically doing that. They were searching phones, so there's reasons 360 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 5: to not have the phone or destroy the evidence if 361 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 5: you were there. And as we've talked about before, they're 362 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 5: going around to the hospitals, Hey, you got any wounded 363 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 5: twenty somethings here, and then they go and talk to 364 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 5: them and they torture and kill them or take them 365 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 5: off to a prisoner or whatever, So there's not a 366 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 5: ton of information that's gotten out of there. The four 367 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 5: people they talked in to the Wall Street Journal are 368 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 5: people that have gotten out of Iran and are now 369 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 5: somewhere else. But as you heard there, that guy even 370 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 5: didn't want his voice to be recognizable, because the bad 371 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 5: guys in Iran, if they could figure out who it 372 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 5: was or guests close enough, they'll go after his family 373 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 5: and friends who are still there in the country. But 374 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 5: as it points out talking to a couple of these people, 375 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 5: the regime's use of force against protesters is what first 376 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: prompted President Trump to threaten an attack in early January, 377 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 5: when he posted on truth social that if Iranian forces 378 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 5: killed the demonstrators, the United States of America will come 379 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 5: to their rescue. Protesters who were there that night of 380 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 5: the when the slaughtering began told the Journal that Trump's 381 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 5: messaging motivated them to go out into the streets. Quote, 382 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 5: people were talking like they cannot kill people this time 383 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 5: because America will be supporting the protesters. That's actually what 384 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 5: got them out on the streets. Yeah, which is yeah, 385 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 5: that's a heck of a which is part of the 386 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 5: reason I think that Trump's looking at going after Iran militarily, 387 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 5: not the only reason. Here's a little bit from ABC 388 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 5: News on where we are currently. 389 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 7: They have two aircraft carrier strike groups, more than one 390 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 7: hundred cargo planes, refueling tankers, fighter jets, multiple bases, and 391 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 7: we think something in the region of thirty five thousand 392 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 7: US troops across the Middle East. Now, the President has 393 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 7: said repeatedly that he prefers a diplomatic solution, but now 394 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 7: he also says he is considering a limited strike to 395 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 7: try to force around into making a nuclear deal. Iran 396 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 7: is insistent that it wants a negotiated solution, but whilst 397 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 7: saying is prepared for peace, it's also stressing it's ready 398 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 7: for war. 399 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 400 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 5: So the New York Times is reporting today that Trump 401 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 5: has told his advisors that if diplomacy or any initial 402 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 5: targeted US attack does not lead Iran to give into 403 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 5: his demands to give up the nuclear program and a 404 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 5: few other things, he will consider a much bigger attack 405 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 5: in coming months, intended to drive the leaders from power. 406 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 5: So currently the plan is, assuming the negotiations fail, which 407 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 5: everybody seems to be assuming is the case, there's going 408 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 5: to be an initial attack to try to get their attention. 409 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 5: Targets under the Trump has been leaning toward an initial 410 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 5: strike in coming days, intended to demonstrate to Aram's leaders 411 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 5: one that we're serious and two that we can do 412 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 5: you some serious harm. Targets under consideration in the next 413 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 5: couple of days consider ranged from the headquarters of the 414 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 5: Revolutionary Guard Corp. To the country's nuclear sites to their 415 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 5: ballistic missile program. If those don't turn the tide, so 416 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 5: we hit them really, really hard over a day or two. 417 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 5: And if that doesn't turn the tide, Trump has told 418 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 5: advisors he leaves open the possibility of a military assault 419 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 5: much bigger later this year, intended to topple Komani and 420 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 5: then The New York Times says there are doubts even 421 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 5: inside the administration about whether that goal can be accomplished 422 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 5: with air strikes alone. That gets you into the boots 423 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 5: on the ground conversation. 424 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 2: The aspect of this that's really intrigued me is what 425 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: the heck are the Mollahs and the other leaders of 426 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: Iran thinking. And speaking of the New York Times, they 427 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 2: got some pretty good analysis about this, and they mentioned 428 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: that there's a dangerous mismatching perceptions between Iran and the 429 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: United States, And that's why the negotiation is just not 430 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 2: going anywhere, and conflict looks almost inevitable facing high stake 431 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 2: sprinksmanship is American warships and fighter jets mass off its shores. 432 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 2: Iran has refused to concede a President Trump's demands on 433 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 2: its nuclear program and weapons, a stance that has bewildered 434 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: US officials. The authoritarian clerics who rule Iran see those concessions, 435 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: which in their view, would compromise their core ideology and sovereignty, 436 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: as a greater threat to their survival than the risk 437 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: of war. Well, I think they're wrong about that. I 438 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: would agree. So here's a political scientist at the University 439 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 2: of Tehran, good work if you can get it, who 440 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 2: says avoiding war is indeed a high priority, but not 441 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 2: at any cost. At times, a political state, especially an 442 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: ideological one, may weigh its place in history as heavily 443 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 2: as or even more heavily than its immediate survival. Well, 444 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: I put my survival way at the top of my 445 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: list of needs. You know, when we've found out through 446 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: recent unearthings of documents that Stalin was an actual true 447 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: believer communist, as is Shjin Ping you know, normally, I 448 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: think we think of communists. You can't possibly believe that, crappy. 449 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: You're a totalitarian state, and communism is your excuse to 450 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 2: have a tootalitarian state. It's just another it's the horseshoe 451 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: theory fascism, blubbable. No, they actually believe it. It's difficult, 452 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: I think for Western minds, modern minds, to conceive of 453 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: the Ayatola and his boys actually believing all their apocalyptic 454 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 2: seventh century Islam stuff and would rather be wiped out 455 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: than come to a compromise with the US. 456 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 5: I know, it's gotta be quite the negotiation situation where 457 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 5: you talk to these people and say, look, we're gonna 458 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 5: obliterate you. 459 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: All right, We're just gonna obliterate you. What are you 460 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 2: talking about not agreeing to our demands? But okay, here's 461 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: more than they're thinking. It's the very perception of Iran's 462 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: weakness that experts say makes Tehran determined to resist quote 463 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 2: and this is the Iran director of the International Crisis Group. 464 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: Whatever that is. For Iran, submitting to the US terms 465 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: is more dangerous than suffering another US strike. They don't 466 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 2: believe that once they capitulate the US will alleviate the pressure. 467 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: They believe that that would only encourage the US to 468 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 2: go for the jugular ayatolaha Man. He has repeatedly stressed 469 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: his view that Washington's eventually aim is to topple Iran's 470 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: system of governance. You're right, nuclear energy is not the problem, 471 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 2: nor are human rights. America's problem is with the very 472 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 2: existence of the Islamic Republic, he said in the speech 473 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago, and again he's not wrong. 474 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 2: He Kamanee insists on uranium and richmond as quote, a 475 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: pillar of the regime itself, and if Iran's leaders can 476 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 2: sede on those points quote, they will actually undermine the 477 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: existence of the regime itself. I am kind of surprised 478 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: by this new thing that I hadn't considered. 479 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 5: The New York Times talking about where we hit them 480 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 5: pretty hard, real fast, and it's like, Okay, do you 481 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 5: believe me now or what? Thinking, well, if then they 482 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 5: can get to some serious negotiations, and then like months later, 483 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 5: it says in the. 484 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: New York Times, if this analysis is accurate, it won't 485 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: do any good. No, it's difficult to know, though. There's 486 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 2: no more murky and mysterious government on earth than our owns. 487 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 5: Well, there's nothing more murky or mysterious than a government 488 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 5: that wants to go to war like the United States. 489 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 5: In terms of misleading people, I mean, this all might 490 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 5: be complete bs, and we're gonna go full on regime 491 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 5: change starting at noon today. They just, you know, wanted 492 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: to to be off guard. Who knows you don't. You're 493 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 5: not required to be honest in this stuff leading up 494 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 5: to a war, right. Indeed, who is this dude who's quoted? 495 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: He's probably another think tanker, But I thought this quote 496 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 2: was intriguing. To think that a war every time either 497 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: makes Iran more flexible or facility plate it facilitates diplomacy, 498 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 2: is nothing but a delusion. He said, here's an era. 499 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: He's some sort of Iran expert. Well, then you got 500 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 2: to go regime change, right or accept them having a nuke?

Margaret Peters, associate director of the Center at UCLA, 632 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 5: is quoted in The Daily Bruin as threatening to resign 633 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,720 Speaker 5: if Weiss even appears virtually, let alone in person. Peters 634 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 5: complained that weis Weiss uses the guise of free speech 635 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 5: to attack people on the left whose opinions she does 636 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 5: not agree with, and having her speak at a signatory 637 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 5: lecture would legitimize these actions. 638 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: Is she that crazy or does she not understand the 639 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 2: hypocrisy of what she said. 640 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 5: Based on my own personal life of people I know 641 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 5: like that, they think their woke viewpoint is the center. Yes, 642 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 5: they think they are in the center. And anybody attacking 643 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 5: that is somebody that's got to be crazy. 644 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 2: Right, a real fascist. So like attacking somebody else's views 645 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 2: is something that's not kosher, Professor Lady. 646 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 5: Really, she threatened to resign if Barry Wise even spoke virtually, 647 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 5: because that was gonna be the compromise position. Okay, you 648 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 5: don't get to come in the lecture hall and do 649 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 5: your speech, but we'll have you up on the screen, 650 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 5: a center left lesbian, pro choice lesbian.

So what you've been saying for several weeks, 655 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 5: now it ain't over. 656 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 2: Oh no, my god, it's barely even begun, and there's 657 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 2: no sign that we are going to win the battle. 658 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 2: The progressive you know, mindset is so entrenched in the 659 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 2: universities I've called for just tearing them down.
