Ben Rhodes

We don't make long arguments, you know?

So the TikTok version.

What I like to think, there needs to be some space for progressive patriotism here, not because we don't see clearly the bad parts of the story.

And I have actually a native chief, Seneca chief, gave this extraordinary speech in the early 19th century that basically sounded like it was delivered at a Black Lives Matter protest.

But this is the only country we have.

And if we don't win the argument, then it's going to be the worst version of itself.

Whereas if it's the better version of itself, it can do a lot of good for people.

Everyone could brush up a little bit.

We'll be debating an emergency YouTube.

But it's not just wearing sunglasses.

It's the blue.

Why those sunglasses?

It's like if Joe Biden took mushrooms and bought a new pair of aviators that happened to be mirror blue.

It looks like his AI.

We've got to laugh at something now.

So, look, first of all, I think part of what's happening here is the Greenland thing –

It's serious.

It's deadly serious.

He keeps coming back to it.

He clearly means it.
