Summary
In this episode, Dinesh makes the case that Trump isn't a Reagan Republican; he's a Teddy Roosevelt Republican. Dinesh reveals how Teddy Roosevelt busted the old communications cartels and insists that now we have to bust the new digital cartels. Dinesh says we've all heard about the crimes and evils of white people, but no one ever spells out the accomplishments of white people--so Dinesh obliges. And activist Christian Walker joins Dinesh to talk about Trump, LeBron James and why cops save more black lives than BLM.

| 0:00.0 | Teddy Roosevelt busted up the old communications cartels a century ago. We now need to do the |
| 0:06.5 | same with digital cartels. And we keep hearing about the crimes and sins of white people, but |
| 0:13.3 | you notice no one ever talks about the accomplishments of white people. So I will. This is the Dineshtis |
| 0:18.2 | is a podcast. America needs this voice. The times are crazy and the time of confusion, division, |
| 0:36.0 | and lies. We need a brave voice of reason, understanding and truth. This is the Dineshtis |
| 0:42.6 | is a podcast. I've been thinking a little bit about Trump. Partly because of his absence from |
| 0:57.3 | American political life right now. Trump seems to be in a sort of almost I'd call it |
| 1:02.9 | President in waiting mode. He seems to be measuring probably planning a social media platform, |
| 1:09.5 | a super PAC, a new way to redefine the Republican Party. Who knows? There's an interesting line in |
| 1:19.3 | Homer's Iliad. He's talking about Achilles and Achilles. There's a long interval in the Iliad |
| 1:24.4 | where it's all about Achilles, but he's off stage. He won't participate in the fighting. And |
| 1:31.2 | Homer says that Achilles absent was Achilles still. So even in his absence Achilles continues to |
| 1:38.2 | sort of define the action. And that is sort of true of Trump. Now the question I've been thinking |
| 1:45.7 | about is, and it's very customary, and I've done this too, think about Trump in relationship to Reagan. |
| 1:52.3 | But of course they were different men. Their situations are very different. And I think a true |
| 1:58.3 | analogy, a true or analogy for Trump is not so much Reagan. Even though it's natural for us to do |
| 2:03.7 | that because both these presidents kind of in our lifetime, but you'd have to go a century back |
| 2:08.4 | to Teddy Roosevelt. And Trump in some ways I think is the new Teddy Roosevelt. Now I say this |
| 2:16.8 | because in some ways they were even similar in their style. Teddy Roosevelt was a brash guy. |
| 2:24.8 | He spoke his mind, used the presidency to make his case before the American people. In fact, |
| 2:32.2 | he invented this concept of the presidency as the bully pulpit. Bulley here not meaning that Teddy |
| 2:37.6 | is a bully, but rather that he's able to use that platform to speak directly to the American people. |
