being signal boosted by Elon and other prominent people who can't take the time to watch anything other than a clip, even when it's their friend or someone who's ostensibly their friend in that clip, right?

So it's a total failure, an understandable failure of ethics that everyone is so short on time and they're so fucking lazy that

And we now have these contexts in which we react so quickly to things, right?

Like Twitter is inviting an instantaneous reaction to this clip that it's just too tempting to just say something and not know what you're even commenting on.

And most of the people who saw that clip

don't understand what I actually think about any of these issues.

And the irony is, people are gonna find clips from this conversation that are just as misleading, and they're gonna export those, and then people are gonna be dunking on those clips.

And we're all living and dying by clips now, and it's dysfunctional.

The truth is you even need, like I even give...

Trump the benefit of the doubt when I see a clip of Trump.

Because there are famous clips of Trump that are very misleading as to what he was saying in context.

And I've been honest about that.

There were good people on both sides scandal around his remarks after Charlottesville.

The clip that got exported and got promoted by everyone left of center, from Biden on down, the New York Times, CNN, there's nobody that I'm aware of

who has honestly, uh, you know, apologized for what they did with that clip, that he did not say what he seemed to be saying in that clip about the Nazis at Charlottesville.

Right.

And I've, I've always been very clear about that.

Uh, so it's just, you know, I, even, even people who I think should be marginalized and people who, who, um,

who should be defenestrated because they really are terrible people who are doing dangerous things for bad reasons.

I think we should be honest about what they actually meant in context, right?
