0:00.0	Brett Weinstein, thank you for joining me on the show, man.
0:03.0	Thanks for having me.
0:04.4	There's this feeling that I have that we're in right now in terms of what the breaks are.
0:09.1	What are the things that could take us off the path to Civil War because right now I feel like we're already

1:16.0	And it is so surreal to me how you can feel that sort of clickover moment where there is some sort of tipping point where now aggression and
1:24.8	anger feeling is trumping the desire to hear new information to sort of relax and
