0:00.0 | I know there's a lot of things going on in the world but because Trump is not an office I actually don't have a good idea of what we're going to talk about today |
0:06.8 | So please tell me what are we going to talk about? Well, we are actually going to talk a bit more about Trump because his shadow seems to linger here but I thought you |
0:16.6 | and I would talk about that subject of de-platforming. |
0:19.6 | Oh, okay. Well that's interesting. All right, so on Tuesday, February 9th, |
