0:00.0	This is Karen Hunter and back to the show. My brother, Dr Ian K Smith, welcome. Hey?
0:19.6	Always good to be back. I just want to kind of, I don't want to stay in this lane. I want to talk
0:23.7	about the doctors. We're having a 2000th episode. My new book, new novelty and spoken
0:28.6	is I want to go there. But I just want to say this off of what you just said Karen. I want to say that it is mystifying to me how
0:38.4	people can hear words and see the same videos and come up with a different interpretation of what they
0:52.2	hear and see. And I was trying to figure out, is it, am I looking at it wrong? Is there, am I bringing a bias to it? Or are they
1:01.3	unintelligent? Do they just not get it? Are they unintelligent?
1:02.9	Do they just not get it?
1:03.9	Are they under exposed?
1:05.8	Or is it that they simply choose to ignore it?

1:58.2	it's worth challenging and demolishing the foundation of democracy,
2:04.0	which is something that you always talk about.
2:07.0	You talk about how this is a democracy and their freedoms
2:11.0	and we don't want big government and we go around the world and police people
2:15.7	when they don't have free and fair elections. And then here we are supposedly the birthplace of democracy and we are talking about not having a transition of power and we are firing people so we can put people in place who are going to try to basically put this country more at war with each other?
2:38.0	Are we serious right now? That's what this is worth? I mean listen, I'm just kind of trying to go back four years. Four years
2:44.8	ago when the Democrats lost hmm I don't remember anyone taking AK-47s and doing caravans in the street. I don't remember anyone saying,
2:56.7	I'm going to fire top people in the Defense Department and put mine in. I don't remember anyone saying, oh, we're
