They've defied probably at least a couple dozen different court orders at this point. Now, the courts, I think rightfully so, are reluctant to step in and pick this rather monumental fight. So they keep holding out hope that, well – They're taking their time, but eventually they'll comply. You got John Roberts putting out statements trying to calm Trump down. Please comply. Right, right.
You know, pretty please. But we're going to reach the point, I think we've reached it already, where they're going to have to sanction them or admit. that their rulings are irrelevant. Trump is defying the courts right now, and we shouldn't let anyone get away with saying, well, sort of. No, he is 100% defying court rulings, and we should hold him accountable for it.

There's dumb people in the world. You're right. It's a balance. But I don't think I think we've been too quick to just dismiss that as something that we should even worry about. So I want us to do it effectively. I want us to do it intelligently and loudly. And look, let me just say, just so people don't get the wrong idea, as I said earlier, good on Al Green for what he did.

right now the paddles were ineffective just because they yeah when i say dumb people i mean like violent people people breaking laws right like i think protests have to be peaceful in part because hey guess what guys the fascists on the other side they're always going to out violence us yeah be loud 100 for that be loud but also take a little time to listen because we got to persuade more people you know we got 48 and a half percent

Not terrible, but we got to get a little more. So to do that, you can't just shout at the people who voted the other way. You have to make your points, I think, loudly, forcefully, intelligently and respectfully and constantly. But then also take a little time to listen and say, this is how I feel. Where are you coming from?

Where are you coming from?
And then once you learn where those people are coming from, you're in a better position to counter their arguments, to understand their arguments. And to bring them in. So it's a balance. And I worry a little that the general message from a lot of folks is whoever breaks the most things is the person I'm going to follow.

I mean, be loud, be passionate. But also there's a part of it that has to also be trying to be more inclusive. And there's a bunch of good ways to do that. And I think we've talked about it. No, I agree.
