0:00.0	What are your thoughts on the conservative civil war that seems to be happening?
0:05.5	Starting all strong. Oh gosh. You know, I think that it is, obviously there are a lot of issues that people are debating. I think that have caused this schism that we're seeing. But I think that there are a lot of people that are arguing and finding a good faith.
0:23.9	I think that there are a lot of people online who think that these are just like bad actors
0:27.4	on both sides, we're going after each other.
0:29.5	I look at it as there are these groups of people.
0:33.1	They're extremely passionate.
0:34.7	They have an idea of, you know, the direct star country in this, you know, movement and party should go.
0:40.2	And they're worried about, you know, one side taking too much power of the radicals, taking control of, you know, of us getting too involved in foreign affairs, whatever it might be.
0:48.6	And so I look at it as something that is not that the civil war is a positive, but that there are good
0:56.7	people fighting it. So I think that makes it a little more nuance. That's a very diplomatic way

1:36.6	because that person platform somebody that you don't like.
1:39.5	Or now, you know, White and Talks Girl on the show today, just really get into it is Tucker
1:44.7	Harleson's son works for JD Bands.
1:46.9	Unless you know that.
1:48.1	And they're now asking his son to disavow his father.
1:54.1	Must make a statement about his father.
