0:00.0	Welcome back to Impact Theory. As we dive into part two, Sam Harris and I confront the urgent
0:04.5	matters of systemic racism, Trump, the problem with the right, and rehash an old beef he had with me
0:10.8	and Constantine Kisten's position. Let's get back into it.
0:15.4	All right, on that note, I actually owe you a public apology. So you had come on my show.
0:24.6	So I had seen the trigonometry clip that you did that went crazy viral.

1:30.5	Yeah, it's a pretty forlorn position to have arrived at.
1:34.9	Understandably.
1:35.7	Obviously, one I can't totally hold to, but yeah, I mean, that was a moment of just, I mean,
1:40.6	it was kind of comic despair because I realized that like I had spoken
1:44.3	to both of you independently for something like three hours
