Whatever y'all said about Brittany Griner, y'all better keep that same energy about her.

Chapter 2: Why is Ukraine's situation so complex?

270.061 - 284.147 Andrew Schulz

Yeah, that's a Greenlander. Yeah, he looks like a Dagestani wrestling coach. Anyway, listen, we got a lot. Well, no. What else we got? We got a doge. We need to explain doge. Sure. Well, you're the expert on doge now.

0

Apparently. Yeah, yeah. You're the doge guy.

0

285.77 - 293.921 Andrew Schulz

Apparently I'm the expert. I actually, I have no fucking clue what's going on. I really have no clue. But you came in today. Like, I think you, what did you say?

0

294.201 - 310.246 Mark Gagnon

What did I say? That I'm going viral. Oh, that you are going viral. Yes. You and Charlemagne's back and forth on Doge has been good. I've seen it everywhere. That also could be my algorithm. We're the top political analysts in the world. No offense. No, no, no. None taken. But when people want to know what's happening in America. You're the top MMA journalist. You're the top political commentator.

0

310.266 - 314.007 Mark Gagnon

You're the top comedian. You're the top everything. It's just too much. Now it feels like I've been bragging.

314.047 - 319.189 Miles

You're like a polymast, you know? Yes, I'm that. You and Charlemagne are kind of breaking points. You know

319.329 - 348.685 Andrew Schulz

yeah yeah that's right yeah no it's the same concept that's true it's the same concept whoa i'm liking it yeah dude did you steal our shit yeah i think i did for smart people you're just brilliant brilliance yeah okay um and then we got more like there's a bunch of things that you are absolutely perfect to explain to us oh the gold card citizenship i want to know i want to know like why steve bannon's back around like i just want to know all these things so where do we want to start obviously the zielinski thing is the biggest probably yeah

348.865 - 349.966 Andrew Schulz

Did you watch the whole?

350.006 - 350.686 Mark Gagnon

I watched the whole thing.

Chapter 3: What is the controversy surrounding Zelensky and US support?

3699.032 - 3723.42 Andrew Schulz

economy, and most importantly, flagrant, you can go to TikTokEconomicImpact.com. Did you know that? Now, you know, first thing, just discussing Doge really quickly. I think that there are very few Americans that would say that they do not support a reduction in waste and inefficiency. Correct. Especially when it comes to government institutions.

0

3723.82 - 3737.547 Andrew Schulz

So this is a bipartisan measure that Americans are supportive of. Doge has become incredibly partisan. First, can you tell me why you think that is?

0

3737.847 - 3746.376 Mark Gagnon

I think it is about wars of credibility, of institutions, and of process. So something I think is- What does that mean?

0

3746.396 - 3746.877 Saagar Enjeti

I don't know.

0

3747.677 - 3749.278 Mark Gagnon

And speak to me emotionally.

3749.298 - 3768.643 Andrew Schulz

I'm not talking about politically why it has. I'm talking about why the average person on Twitter feels compelled to be so critical of Doge. What do you think is being communicated to them? And why are they having such a knee-jerk reaction to it, knowing that they do want to reduce government inefficiency?

3768.703 - 3779.849 Mark Gagnon

For them, it's about Elon's complete and total judgment over this. They don't trust Elon. I would say that's it. And is that fair? Yeah, I do think it's fair. I do think it's fair. Let's make that argument. What's the steel man against?

3779.989 - 3795.679 Mark Gagnon

The steel man against Doge is that you have a person who is unelected by the United States, who is a sole power over what gets cut, which violates the Constitution because the Constitution, the power of the purse is within Congress. Congress gets to decide what programs get cut or not.

3795.76 - 3805.345 Mark Gagnon

He is, according to them, illegally shutting off and doing these things and also at times has conflicts, major conflicts of interest. any of the decisions that he has made.
