this image that I'm going to have a hard time getting out of my mind, Tim, of a woman desperately trying to open the window and escape from this locked room in Panama where she had been taken. She sees reporters down below on the street. So she writes on a sign, Afghan, holds it up, and then pantomimes what appears to be an airplane and then her being killed.

The point being that if she was sent back to Afghanistan, she would be killed. Remember, we fought in Afghanistan for two decades. We broke our promises to these people. When they were evacuated, we said those who had helped the United States could come to our country to escape the Taliban. We're the ones who've broken our promises.

And I just, that image of that woman is really going to stick with me.

Well, that's right. There's no point. It's capricious. And I'll tell you, I mean, again, that is a horror story that really resonates for me. When I was a correspondent in Moscow more than two decades ago, you mentioned it already, Tim, the Washington Post paid for medical evacuation insurance for us and By the way, I needed to use that.

And in January of 2004, I was evacuated from Russia to London because I was hemorrhaging with what turned out to be a potentially fatal ectopic pregnancy.

And, you know, I mean, look, we're at war on... on women now in this country, along with all the many other shocking things that are occurring. And I can tell you, if it was men who face the possibility of bleeding out and dying from ectopic pregnancies, then we wouldn't be talking about it like it was some optional abortion procedure, which it's not.

That's the world that we're living in right now. So I appreciate you bringing it up. Even though it's one example, I think it speaks to a larger... phenomenon that's happening in our society due to the toxic politics that we have.

Yeah, I mean, I really, again, that is a piece that I highly recommend. Larry Diamond is one of the foremost scholars of democracy around the world, scholar at Stanford University. And in this piece, he makes a distinction that I think is really important because Trump has operated on such a broad front. You know, you can conflate different things, but not all aspects of this crisis are equal.
