| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to a new episode of Your Wrong with Molly Hemingway, editor-in-chief of the Federalist and David Harsani, senior writer at The Washington Examiner. |
| 0:26.8 | Just as a reminder, if you'd like to email the show, please do so at radio at thefederalist.com. |
| 0:31.8 | We love to hear from you. |
| 0:33.4 | Molly, you know, numerous people have asked me, someone actually asked me this on the radio the other day, if you and I were okay because we kind of yelled at each other last week over the Iran thing. |
| 0:44.6 | And I told them I thought we were. I hope we are. And I told them that you probably have to be friends with someone before you do that, right? Like, it would be difficult to have |
| 0:57.7 | that kind of passionate argument with someone you didn't know that well and be okay. |
| 1:03.0 | I actually think our bigger problem is that we don't fight enough. The whole idea of this was |
| 1:07.8 | that you and I like each other, but we disagree with each other a lot. And then we |
| 1:12.1 | tend to agree so much that I think that's the bigger problem. But I don't know if it's about being |
| 1:17.5 | friends before you disagree so much as that we're both very gen X. And we have very, we're just so |

| 1:36.4 | We're okay. |
| 1:37.5 | Yeah, it works both ways in the real world where people think they've offended me sometimes, where'm not really that offended, even if they |
| 1:44.6 | annoy me and I'm not that nice to them, but also that they think that I am worried about |
| 1:49.9 | offending them, which I'm not. Do you know what I mean? It's never or very rarely ad hominem. |
| 1:55.2 | And if it's not ad hominem, I'm usually, unless you're some kind of psycho who's like hates Jews |
| 2:00.2 | or is a big it or something |
| 2:01.4 | like that. I'm not going to really take it that personally, you know, anyway, we are okay for |
| 2:07.0 | everyone out there, I think, I hope. And let's get into it. So I think we should just start on a lighter |
| 2:13.1 | note and talk about the Obama presidential library that is opening in Chicago. |
| 2:20.6 | Someone called it the Obama Lisk, which I think is great, like an obelisk, but the Obama |
