Scared.
I'm happy to... You're my first.
I came to independent media first because it...
It's wild to see the... It's wild that some of my first memories of being on mainstream media to talk about Jamal Khashoggi, my colleague who had been murdered, my first time was on this fancy CNN set.
I was still watching you on TV.
Like the fact that you're the first one to sit down with me and we're just sitting in a cafe with your very handsome, very capable producer with a small camera is like a visualization of the path, at least for me, that I've gone, being pushed in front of the world for free speech and protection of journalists and freedom of expression when my writer was killed.
I got the star mainstream media treatment.
And it's hitting me that whatever new journey this is going to be for me in terms of defending the right to express yourself, that you and I are sitting here eating scrambled eggs in a cafe.
right and now this time of course like my colleague lost his life but for expressing himself in the washington post i lost my job for expressing myself in the washington post there are no black columnists left at the washington post and here i am sitting here with you and you're the first one
That's what I want to know.

And that experience, even then, same thing.
We were like, we were going to ask him straight up policy questions.
I asked him actually about his divisive rhetoric and racist rhetoric at the time.
And I used the R word, I believe it's in the transcript, searchable.
And even then, he did what he did two days ago, which was steamroll, which was answer in, basically, what's the word?
