0:00.0	While Zilinsky is talking about a no-fly zone, our own media is enforcing a no-think zone.
0:05.6	There will be no thinking.
0:06.9	There will be no thinking in public, there will be no communication of thoughts.

1:27.3	than the rest of my brethren. I feel like we're being called to do very specific things. We're clearly not
