And, like...
Yeah, it's kind of blew me away in this case because Palestine or Gaza, that is a controversial issue.
I understand, especially in the Democratic Party, that would be a hard question because they have a big split within their party and they got to be sensitive to how they answer that question because they don't want to come across as anti-Semitic, but they don't want to come across as favoring the Jews over the Palestinians or all that.
But
for ukraine i mean i thought the democratic position has been clear forever and the same with taiwan really i mean at taiwan maybe if you want to be friendly to the ccp somehow you have to be sensitive to that but but still it's like we obviously don't want to let taiwan go anytime soon to china and um so you know you might want to phrase it carefully like not
maybe call taiwan an independent country you know they have that weird thing where they try to say it's you know sort of a territory of china but sort of not but still you you would
it's kind of an obvious position that the United States has had for decades that we're going to defend Taiwan and we're not going to let it, you know, become part of China.
We're not going to let China invade or take over.
And, and I don't remember anybody on the democratic party ever saying anything different.
So it's like, unless you're just completely ignorant of what's going on, I just don't get how they missed it.
Well, I mean, I did think a fun story was the Obama alien story that he was on a podcast.
And I think it was a speed round where they just asked him, are aliens real?
And his answer was, yes, they're real.
But then he also married to one.
Yeah.
He went on to say.
that uh you know they're not in area 51 unless they're hiding him from the president so it was kind of this you know back and forth answer on it but um i will invoke the 48 hour rule because he then came out a little later to clarify because this was like this speed round question so they didn't ask any follow-up questions they just went on to the next question
So it just kind of left everybody thinking, what, what, what did he just say?
And so then he clarified something like he didn't really mean that he had any evidence of it.
And he just thought, you know, number one, it was a speed round.
