I mean, you just, you know, get out of practice.
And so you think, you know, you can say to me, yes, Israel has the right to exist.
And I'm going to say, and I'm just going to fold because that's how it's already always been.
But
I don't know how else to say this, I'm not the one.
I just spend too much time thinking about words.
And I don't mean that in any sort of arrogant way.

They weren't just given to me.
No disrespect to anybody, you know?
It's really bad.
And I guess I feel a little uncomfortable, especially given that, you know, I was, you know, given where that interview was, I don't want to comment too much on other people's

and bringing in people who just kinda, like I would say that's bad.
I would say that's bad for journalism.
I would say also that some of the commentary, like I read, like we had this culture, man, where people are in love with debate, right?
And so I read these comments about how the newsroom needs to be a place where people can vigorously disagree.
Well, yeah, maybe, but newsrooms tell stories.
