| 0:00.0 | Well, I think we can safely say that we have the first example of the Trump doctrine in play in foreign affairs. |
| 0:09.3 | That's right. If you've been living under Iraq for the last couple of days, you'll know that there was something of a dustup between Colombia, the president of Colombia and Donald Trump when it came to actually deporting various Colombian citizens, |
| 0:22.8 | which had committed a couple crimes in the United States, not the least of which was coming here illegally, |
| 0:27.8 | but then once they got here, they committed more crimes. Well, President Trump decided it was time for them to be repatriated, |
| 0:34.0 | to go back home. And as he boarded them on the flight for their nice cross-Caribbean |
| 0:39.0 | flight back home, the president of Columbia informed President Trump that he wasn't going to allow |
| 0:44.2 | them to land. And so Donald Trump, somewhere between hole three on the golf course and hole eight, |
| 0:50.3 | managed to figure out and solve this entire problem. And today, we're going to talk about |

| 1:16.4 | And in fact, I'm in Richmond right now. |
| 1:17.7 | That's why I'm not in the studio with my beautiful bride, Tina Queen of the Bees. |
| 1:21.3 | Hello, everyone. |
| 1:23.8 | And, of course, our political prognosticator resident historian historian history of the Oracle of Virginia, Christian Heinz. |
| 1:29.2 | It has been a glorious first week of the second Trump presidency. |
| 1:35.7 | I have to I have to say usually I don't like sequels as much, but this one is this one's been awesome. |
| 1:40.8 | This was definitely better than the original. |
| 1:43.3 | The analogy, oh man, I can't believe I'm about to say it, but like the way that the |
| 1:48.0 | analogy works is that Trump one was a new hope. |
