0:00.0	Hey everyone, before we get started today, I just want to point you to a terrific new book
0:05.6	called The Bomber Mafia, written by Malcolm Gladwell, the author of The Tipping Point.
0:10.8	And I think it gives really a terrific understanding of how doctrine versus reality can get you into
0:17.6	trouble. I think it's a smart book, it's a quick read. Gladwell is always interesting and I think
0:22.3	brings new and different perspectives so I can't recommend it more highly and now on with the show.
0:35.8	Welcome back to the Lincoln Project. I'm your host, Reed Gailan. Today I'm joined by co-founder of
0:41.2	the Lincoln Project, host of LPTV's The Breakdown, back in action next week May 25th,
0:46.8	an author of everything Trump touches dies. Rick Wilson. Rick, thanks for joining me.
0:51.6	Hey Reed, good to be with you. And fresh off his coffee house reading of George Orwell's 1984,
0:57.1	I'm joined by my fellow co-founder of the Lincoln Project Steve Schmidt. Steve, thanks for joining me.
1:02.4	Hey Reed, good to be with you. Hey Rick. I love dramatic readings from Steve. I really do.
1:07.6	For those of you who may have missed it last week, Steve tweeted a two-part video of himself
1:12.0	doing a dramatic reading of George Orwell's 1984. And can I just say Rick, you know, a couple of
1:17.6	our folks were like, he seems to be in a prison or the background seems to be very stark. And I
1:22.9	said, I think you're missing the overall aesthetic of what Steve is trying to do, right? Which is,
1:27.9	when you're reading a story about a man who has a rat attached to his head at the end of the book,
1:34.5	so he says two plus two equals five and can feel good about it, you shouldn't like being a flower filled
1:40.8	garden. Yeah, it's not like Jane Austen. It's not it's not Victorian Edwardian or any other sort of
1:48.4	pastoral English countryside setting. It was a bleak urban dystopia. I almost did it with the
1:54.7	infrared setting. But I thought it was a little much. And I couldn't figure out why one
2:01.9	saw it in my head appeared to be hotter than the other one in the image. No matter which angle I
2:07.2	sat in, so I'm still trying to get to the bottom of that. Well, listen, stay tuned everyone for
