0:00.0	Welcome to the Dispatch Podcast. I'm your host Sarah Isger joined by Steve Hayes. And this
0:04.6	week we are talking to SE Cup. She's CNN's host of SE Cup unfiltered at air Saturdays at 6 p.m.
0:12.9	Check it out. She also writes a ton. I first met her when her first book came out. Why you're
0:18.5	wrong about the right. Always a thoughtful guest will talk politics by administration Afghanistan
0:24.4	2022. But also we're going to talk about something that she's been writing about frequently recently
0:31.1	about social media. It's health crisis for the country. And what if anything we should be thinking
0:37.5	about it, doing about it, parents with their children. A really interesting conversation that I
0:42.8	have been looking forward to having with her. Let's dive right in. SE, there's something I've
1:01.2	been wanting to ask you, which is you were a big critic of the Trump administration obviously.
1:07.0	You're a conservative so it's not like you're a Biden cheerleader. Is there anything that you

1:47.6	informed policy the new guy is constantly reflecting back against the old guy. So Obama came in right
1:57.7	and really just wanted to be not Bush. And then Trump came in and really just wanted to be not
2:04.0	Obama. And Biden's come in really wanted to be not Trump. And that's bad strategy for foreign policy.
2:12.3	It's incomplete. It's not forward looking. It's reactionary. And so I think I would give Biden
2:27.7	the obvious critique of his of his foreign policy. And I think Trump for all of his flaws,
2:36.2	maybe didn't know one else about foreign policy to be terrible at it. So I think looking back
2:44.8	at the Trump administration when we sort of wipe our eyes and remove our
2:54.5	parties and opinions about him, we might look back with some exceptions and his foreign policy
