| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to RevLeft Radio. |
| 0:08.9 | On today's episode I have JT from the YouTube channel second thought, on to talk about |
| 0:15.6 | his channel, how he navigated his left word, move on his channel, but mostly how to communicate, |
| 0:22.4 | to specifically conservatives, but broadly people who might not be on the left, but who |
| 0:27.0 | we need to interact with, engage with, and on some level convince in the face of certain |
| 0:32.2 | issues like the decimation of the working class or the climate crisis etc. |
| 0:37.1 | So in this episode me and JT go back and forth and just kind of give you some tips and advice |

| 0:58.8 | with these ideas and these perspectives. |
| 1:01.2 | So hopefully this is a little bit of a set of tips and pointers that you could listen |

| 1:17.7 | them further into into reaction. |
| 1:19.9 | So really wide-ranging, fascinating conversation that I know you'll love and as I say in |
| 1:24.7 | this episode throughout definitely go subscribe to second thought on YouTube. |
| 1:28.5 | It's a wonderful resource for the left. |
| 1:31.6 | Well further ado, here's my conversation with JT. |
| 1:58.9 | My name is JT Chapman and I run a YouTube channel called Second Thought where I talk about |
| 2:10.3 | socialist ideas at a 101 level. |
| 2:12.6 | Yeah, welcome to the show. |
