i want to tie in this issue with you said what
you said about the off ramp okay which is you know
00:00:05
what is the off ramp from this look everybody
understands i think regardless of what side
00:00:10
political spectrum you're on that we are caught
in a cycle of insane hyper partisan warfare and
00:00:17
tit-for-tat retaliation and that is the thing that
we need to uh that that is the ledge we need to
00:00:24
walk back from okay but the problem that everybody
has is that they can only see the other side doing
00:00:30
it you know they can't see themselves doing it
this is a two-way street both sides are doing it
00:00:37
and that's how de-escalation works is
both sides have to concede something
00:00:41
yes and unless you can see when your side is doing
it we're never gonna break the cycle now the thing
00:00:47
that is happening right now now what trump did was
absolutely outrageous and i think it brought him
00:00:54
to an ignominious end in american politics he will
pay for it in the history books if not in a court
00:00:59
of law okay but now what has happened is the next
step in the tit-for-tat retaliation the the stormy
00:01:06
of the capital has now been used to implement
a sweeping attack on free speech you know the
00:01:14
the twitter employees who sent that letter to
jack who've been demanding this for years have
00:01:19
finally gotten their way and there is a widespread
purge going on and not just of trump not just a
00:01:25
permanent ban on trump and then a whole bunch of
other people you know conservatives there are now
00:01:31
liberal accounts there's an account that i wasn't
even aware of called red scare they're basically
00:01:35
you know pretty pretty much on the left no one
can say exactly what it was that got them banned i
00:01:40
guess they had steve bannon on their podcast they
are suddenly banned from twitter nobody knows why
