| 0:31.6 | Welcome to politics by faith. Thanks for being here. I want to talk about this Trump executive order about |
| 0:38.8 | banning the burning of the American flag. Now he can't really do that. So what he said in the |
| 0:46.3 | executive order is twofold. First, if you burn the American flag, you're probably committing |

| 1:37.5 | means burning it. |
| 1:39.6 | And then I thought for a second, well, hold on, every one of my libertarian arguments that |
| 1:43.2 | I've ever made has proven to be wrong. |
