0:00.0	The woke right. What is that? What's your opinion of it?
0:03.0	What we have in the woke right are people who are against the evils of the left.
0:07.9	They're not for the principles that formed Christendom.
0:13.1	And so you see this with, for example, with regard to Israel and this insurgent anti-Semitism.
