00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.620
So, what would be the worst way for president trump to close at twenty,

00:00:03.620 --> 00:00:08.060
twenty other than trying to overturn an election and presiding over the deadly stage of

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:12.530
...democrat downplayed well how about playing politics

00:00:12.530 --> 00:00:16.770
with funding for our troops because yep that's happening

00:00:16.770 --> 00:00:20.770
the management basically mia for a job is fighting to keep after the american

00:00:20.770 --> 00:00:26.240
people fired him suddenly seems super engaged around a specific policy so, you know,

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:29.430
it's almost certainly about personal revenge right?

00:00:29.430 --> 00:00:31.150
Nailed it nearly.

00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:35.900
Sixty years the national defense authorization act is passed with bipartisan support it

00:00:35.900 --> 00:00:38.860
...the us military this year more than seven hundred

00:00:38.860 --> 00:00:42.830
and forty billion dollars for things like weapon systems and troop levels and

00:00:42.830 --> 00:00:46.830
...three percent increase in military pay but drop who loves to brag

00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:51.810
that nobody loves the military more than me is threatening to be told the whole bill

00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:56.610
unless a provision is tacked on to kills section two thirty...the communications act

00:00:56.610 --> 00:01:02.000
...that you ask but it's...slightly obscure law that says that internet platforms like

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.650
twitter and facebook can't be held legally responsible for things

00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:08.500
they're users post key difference between platforms and

00:01:08.500 --> 00:01:13.140
publishers now there's plenty of room for debate around section two-thirds

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:18.090
of the few issues that button...actually agree on but for very different reasons but

00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:22.550
...repealed because it's been used to excuse the spread of disinformation trump

00:01:22.550 --> 00:01:26.880
...repeal because he believes that recent efforts to crack down on that disinformation

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:31.220
amount to censorship...conservatives and terms particularly ticked off because

00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:35.770
...keeps flagging his post as disputed or misleading because they are

00:01:35.770 --> 00:01:40.670
so this debate actually tells you a lot about the differences between the two parties right now but they're really

00:01:40.670 --> 00:01:45.570
shouldn't be any debate about whether the fate of section two-thirty should be tied to funding

00:01:45.570 --> 00:01:50.010
the us military because they've got absolutely nothing to do with

00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:54.990
each other that's why republicans are actually pushing back on president dropped this time so you

00:01:54.990 --> 00:01:58.520
...serious but there's also a second issue that terms got with the

00:01:58.520 --> 00:02:02.280
bill it contains something he's been fighting tooth and nail to stop

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.930
renaming ten military bases that are named after confederate generals the asked the

00:02:06.930 --> 00:02:11.860
pentagon finally decided that it's time to stop honoring soldiers who took up arms against our country to

00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:14.970
defend slavery but trump wants to defend that

00:02:14.970 --> 00:02:19.760
can better legacy not beyond the dog whistle masquerading as defensive tradition

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:24.090
it's actually ironic because the whole move to mainstream can better it's part of

00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:29.030
...work reconciliation came under the guise of something called the lost cause.

00:02:29.030 --> 00:02:32.450
Basically a refusal to admit defeat so they created

00:02:32.450 --> 00:02:37.430
an alternate reality telling themselves the war was about states' rights not slavery they said they

00:02:37.430 --> 00:02:42.110
were rebels fighting for constitutional liberties...using intimidation tactics

00:02:42.110 --> 00:02:47.500
...majority rule which...tried to disenfranchised black voters in the south and

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:52.190
white supremacy reinserted through segregation for more than a century it's a reminder that

00:02:52.190 --> 00:02:56.760
lost causes and badly for everybody and that includes a different

00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:01.570
version president trump it's important to admit defeat agree on

00:03:01.570 --> 00:03:06.320
facts and basic fairness so the nation can move forward and try to form a

00:03:06.320 --> 00:03:11.190
more perfect union together and that's your reality check.
