WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.180 Welcome to the Deep Dive. Today, we are really 00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:06.040 digging into a mix of topics, things that seem 00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.939 separate, but you'll see how they connect. Our 00:00:08.939 --> 00:00:11.339 goal, as always, is to give you that shortcut 00:00:11.339 --> 00:00:14.160 to feeling well -informed, pull out those key 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.620 insights, those aha moments, no information overload, 00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:21.410 just the important stuff. So. Let's unpack this. 00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:24.050 We've got sources touching on everything from 00:00:24.050 --> 00:00:27.789 surprising prosecutor fails to forgotten figures 00:00:27.789 --> 00:00:30.589 in history, those really tough debates after 00:00:30.589 --> 00:00:33.850 national tragedies, and even the big chess game 00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:36.469 of global trade. It's quite a range. But what's 00:00:36.469 --> 00:00:39.850 fascinating here is seeing the threads, you know, 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:42.829 how a legal quirk might echo in geopolitics or 00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:45.909 how history informs current debates. Synthesizing 00:00:45.909 --> 00:00:48.189 it gives you that richer picture. Absolutely. 00:00:48.289 --> 00:00:51.000 So let's start with something almost comical, 00:00:51.020 --> 00:00:53.039 if you know that old legal saying. The ham sandwich. 00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:55.240 Exactly. The one that says a prosecutor can get 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:57.340 a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich if they 00:00:57.340 --> 00:00:59.240 want to. It just shows how low the bar usually 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:01.399 is for an indictment, right? Formal accusation 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.099 stage. That's the idea. The grand jury standard 00:01:04.099 --> 00:01:06.540 is just probable cause. Did a crime probably 00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:09.280 happen? The prosecutor presents their side. No 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.159 defense arguments. Just need a simple majority 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:15.099 vote. It's designed to be a fairly low hurdle. 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.939 Yeah, not a high bar at all. So failing repeatedly, 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.829 that's... Well, that's almost unheard of. If 00:01:20.829 --> 00:01:22.969 we connect this to the bigger picture, it really 00:01:22.969 --> 00:01:26.010 makes you question what's going on. Is it competence? 00:01:26.150 --> 00:01:29.450 Is it juror trust? It shouldn't be this hard. 00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:32.849 And that brings us to Washington, D .C. and Prosecutor 00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:35.189 Pirro's office. Our sources mentioned they'd 00:01:35.189 --> 00:01:37.129 already struck out three times before on getting 00:01:37.129 --> 00:01:39.209 a felony assault indictment in another case, 00:01:39.549 --> 00:01:41.849 had to reduce the charge eventually. Three no 00:01:41.849 --> 00:01:44.329 true bills, as they call it, yeah. But then it 00:01:44.329 --> 00:01:48.049 happened again, and this time it literally involved... 00:01:48.049 --> 00:01:50.439 Whoa. A sandwich. Uh -huh. A Subway cold -cut 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.099 combo, actually. Ham, salami, bologna. This guy, 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.200 Sean Charles Dunne, apparently threw it at a 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.180 Customs and Border Protection officer back on 00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:59.980 August 10th in D .C. Wow. And the consequences 00:01:59.980 --> 00:02:03.000 for Dunne were serious, right? Lost his DOJ job, 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.000 arrested, jailed. Yeah. Definitely not minor. 00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:08.680 But then Piero's office went for a felony assault 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.159 indictment for the sandwich throwing. And the 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.620 grand jury said no. Again. Unbelievable. This 00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:16.900 time they seemed to learn, though. After that... 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:19.879 First refusal, that first no true bill. They 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.400 quickly reduced it to a misdemeanor assault charge. 00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:24.919 It's just, it's such a strange story. But OK, 00:02:24.979 --> 00:02:26.719 beyond the flying lunch meat, what does this 00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.460 tell us? Well, I think it points to something 00:02:28.460 --> 00:02:30.800 fundamental about trust in the system. Grand 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.180 juries usually work on the assumption that the 00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.560 prosecutor is competent, presenting things fairly. 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.120 Right. When that trust breaks down, maybe jurors 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.300 think the prosecutor is overreaching or politically 00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:45.740 motivated. Then you get these weird outcomes. 00:02:46.390 --> 00:02:48.849 The sources hint this could be part of a pattern 00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:51.750 for certain Trump prosecutors, maybe a long line 00:02:51.750 --> 00:02:53.930 of defeats we didn't used to see. Interesting. 00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:56.330 And then there's the public reaction, them becoming 00:02:56.330 --> 00:02:58.930 a sort of folk hero, these Banksy style images 00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:02.569 popping up. That suggests, well, it suggests 00:03:02.569 --> 00:03:05.770 a kind of vocal growing resistance. And that 00:03:05.770 --> 00:03:07.729 kind of energy often translates into votes, doesn't 00:03:07.729 --> 00:03:10.789 it? It certainly does. So yeah, a weird sandwich 00:03:10.789 --> 00:03:15.080 incident ends up being this lens on the legal 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.180 process, public mood, political currents, fascinating 00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:22.120 stuff. Now, speaking of perception and maybe 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.699 misperception, let's shift gears and dive into 00:03:24.699 --> 00:03:27.379 some American history. There's been this push, 00:03:27.379 --> 00:03:29.939 you know, for a while now to tell a broader story, 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:34.180 move past just the feel -good white man history, 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.780 as some sources put it. Right. And attempt to 00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:39.639 diversify aren't new. They go back a long way. 00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.280 But sometimes those early efforts weren't great. 00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:44.639 You mentioned Molly Pitcher earlier. Yeah, the 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:46.939 Revolutionary War figure. Well, turns out Molly 00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:49.259 Pitcher wasn't one person. It was more of a nickname 00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:52.180 for lots of women helping out. Once historians 00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:54.039 figured that out, she kind of faded from the 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.800 textbooks. Huh. And Bessie Ross? Sowing the flag? 00:03:56.979 --> 00:03:59.120 Yeah, lovely story. But the sources are pretty 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.139 clear. It's entirely unsupported by evidence. 00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:03.479 The story only popped up. Like a hundred years 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:05.319 after she died. Okay, so if they're not the full 00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:07.340 picture, who should we be looking at? Our sources 00:04:07.340 --> 00:04:09.780 highlighted someone really incredible, but maybe 00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:13.539 overlooked. Anne Smith Franklin. Ah, yes. Benjamin 00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:16.019 Franklin's sister -in -law. That's the one. Married 00:04:16.019 --> 00:04:19.199 to his older brother James. Ben actually apprenticed 00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.839 under James in Boston before, you know, he took 00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:23.860 off for Philadelphia and became Benjamin Franklin. 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.660 And James. Yeah. Oh, well, James was apparently 00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:29.040 quite a character. Good printer, sure, but also 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.949 very outspoken. The source to describe him is 00:04:31.949 --> 00:04:34.490 leaning into conspiratorial thinking, even anti 00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:37.389 -vax, for his time, called smallpox inoculation 00:04:37.389 --> 00:04:40.709 the work of Satan. Oh, okay. Yeah. His strong 00:04:40.709 --> 00:04:42.850 opinions got him jailed in Boston, which is why 00:04:42.850 --> 00:04:45.250 he and Anne moved to Rhode Island. And there, 00:04:45.470 --> 00:04:47.110 they set up the state's first printing press 00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:48.930 and publishing business. And Anne wasn't just, 00:04:48.930 --> 00:04:51.850 like, standing by. She was involved, right? Deeply 00:04:51.850 --> 00:04:55.370 involved. Sales, editing. And think about typesetting 00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:58.810 back then. tiny, individual -led letters, delicate 00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:00.990 work, often done by women or kids with smaller 00:05:00.990 --> 00:05:03.269 hands. Right. When they printed things like a 00:05:03.269 --> 00:05:06.189 perpetual almanac, Anne certainly did the work 00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:09.069 herself, sources say, all while managing a household 00:05:09.069 --> 00:05:11.509 without any modern conveniences. That's incredible. 00:05:11.670 --> 00:05:13.649 But what happened after James died? That's where 00:05:13.649 --> 00:05:16.709 it gets really interesting. James died in 1735. 00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:19.750 Anne's left with hardly any money for kids, all 00:05:19.750 --> 00:05:22.529 under 10. Oh, wow. But she takes over the business, 00:05:22.990 --> 00:05:24.509 lands the contract for all official printing 00:05:24.509 --> 00:05:27.029 for the Rhode Island legislature, starts publishing 00:05:27.029 --> 00:05:29.410 American versions of popular English novels like 00:05:29.410 --> 00:05:32.649 Fair Rosamond, revised the Rhode Island Almanac. 00:05:32.949 --> 00:05:35.529 So she's a real entrepreneur. Absolutely. She 00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:37.709 becomes the first woman newspaper publisher in 00:05:37.709 --> 00:05:40.329 American history with the Newport Mercury. And 00:05:40.329 --> 00:05:42.189 that paper still publishes today, believe it 00:05:42.189 --> 00:05:44.610 or not. Definitely the first woman newspaper 00:05:44.610 --> 00:05:47.050 editor. That's amazing. And the Newport Mercury 00:05:47.050 --> 00:05:49.319 under her leadership. It was progressive. It 00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.660 was the first paper in America to publish poetry 00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:54.579 by Phyllis Wheatley, a black woman. What a legacy. 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.879 How did her story end? Well, she ran the shop 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.220 for nearly 15 years, then partnered with her 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:02.019 son, James Jr. They billed themselves as James 00:06:02.019 --> 00:06:05.350 and Anne Franklin. She stepped back a bit. But 00:06:05.350 --> 00:06:09.269 when James Jr. died in 1762, Anne, nearly 68, 00:06:09.470 --> 00:06:11.750 went back to working full time. Just kept going. 00:06:11.930 --> 00:06:15.410 Yep. Her obituary from April 1763 praises her 00:06:15.410 --> 00:06:17.970 fine constitution, great integrity, calls her 00:06:17.970 --> 00:06:20.769 a faithful friend, and a compassionate benefactor 00:06:20.769 --> 00:06:25.050 to the poor. But it also has this really poignant 00:06:25.050 --> 00:06:28.050 detail. She outlived all her children. Oh, that's 00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:30.370 heartbreaking. Yeah. And her printing press. 00:06:30.610 --> 00:06:33.639 Even that has a story. British soldiers targeted 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:35.819 it during the Revolution. It got disassembled, 00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:38.199 buried for safety, then dug up after the war 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.939 and put back into service. A real symbol of resilience. 00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:43.199 It's in the Rhode Island Historical Society now. 00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:45.980 Just incredible. Anne Smith Franklin. Her story 00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:47.980 just hammers home that history isn't simple. 00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:50.879 It's this vast and complicated tapestry, you 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.000 know, way more complex than the old narrow narratives 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.699 allowed. So many stories waiting to be told. 00:06:57.060 --> 00:06:59.680 Definitely. Well, from uncovering hidden histories 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:03.439 to confronting debates that feel all too familiar. 00:07:04.339 --> 00:07:06.639 Let's shift now. It's a tough topic, but an important 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.079 one. OK. Another school shooting this week, Minneapolis, 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.259 a Catholic school, two 10 -year -olds killed, 00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:17.339 18 injured. Shotgun. Just awful. And the response 00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:20.509 is. Sadly predictable. Yeah, the script as the 00:07:20.509 --> 00:07:22.430 sources described it played out again from the 00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:24.810 left You basically heard two things demands for 00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:27.230 action on gun violence and a rejection of quote 00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.310 empty thoughts and prayers and on the right some 00:07:29.310 --> 00:07:31.850 responses felt Pretty tone -deaf didn't they? 00:07:31.970 --> 00:07:34.069 Yeah, they did. You have the religious framing 00:07:34.069 --> 00:07:36.290 like former congressman Trey Gowdy saying the 00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:38.290 only comfort is knowing the kids are with Jesus 00:07:38.589 --> 00:07:41.470 Which you know felt like proselytizing especially 00:07:41.470 --> 00:07:43.410 since the kids were apparently killed during 00:07:43.410 --> 00:07:45.709 prayer time at a religious school Kind of missed 00:07:45.709 --> 00:07:47.649 the mark there right and then there were the 00:07:47.649 --> 00:07:50.089 deflection arguments the focus on mental illness 00:07:50.089 --> 00:07:53.410 not guns Scott Jennings on CNN blamed it on the 00:07:53.410 --> 00:07:56.439 shooters mental illness being crammed being encouraged 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.439 instead of treated. The sources call that absolutely 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.579 vile. Yeah, that's rough. HHS Secretary Robert 00:08:02.579 --> 00:08:04.980 F. Kennedy Jr. also jumped on the mental illness 00:08:04.980 --> 00:08:08.519 train, speculating about antidepressants, SSRIs 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:11.040 maybe being a trigger. What's fascinating here 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.800 is the pushback. Senator Tina Smith, a Democrat 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.480 from Minnesota. She went on Twitter and just 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.699 let loose, said something like, dare you to tell 00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:22.060 our grieving community guns don't kill kids, 00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:25.060 antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling 00:08:25.060 --> 00:08:27.620 bullshit. You should be fired. Pretty direct. 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:31.339 Wow. Strong words. And Gowdy managed to get heat 00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:33.620 from his own side, too. Yeah, besides that with 00:08:33.620 --> 00:08:36.279 Jesus comment, he also said something like, we're 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.320 going to have a conversation of freedom versus 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.659 protecting children. It's always a young white 00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:44.620 male. That last part got huge backlash from right 00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:47.679 -wing commentators demanding Fox fire him. So 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.600 just a mess all around. Where does this leave 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.980 things? Well, the political reality, as the sources 00:08:52.980 --> 00:08:56.340 see it, is the U .S. isn't going gun free. The 00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.279 left pushes for more restrictions. Who buys? 00:08:58.340 --> 00:09:01.299 How easily? What types? The pro -gun side sees 00:09:01.299 --> 00:09:04.230 any limit as the beginning of the end. fueled 00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:06.970 by very motivated single -issue voters. Right, 00:09:07.309 --> 00:09:09.409 stalemate. Pretty much. Yeah. Which led our sources 00:09:09.409 --> 00:09:12.210 to float this, like, completely radical hypothetical. 00:09:12.409 --> 00:09:14.470 Oh. Yeah, like, what if Democrats got power, 00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:17.330 expanded the Supreme Court to 15 justices, found 00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:19.370 a judge to rule the Second Amendment, only applies 00:09:19.370 --> 00:09:22.549 to 1789 -style muskets, and got the new court 00:09:22.549 --> 00:09:26.120 to uphold it? Whoa. Yeah. They frame it as the 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.620 only route we can even conceive of to maybe stop 00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:30.840 the shootings. It just shows how deep the divide 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.100 is, how desperate the search for any kind of 00:09:33.100 --> 00:09:35.179 systemic change feels. Definitely highlights 00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:37.399 the deadlock. Okay, let's pivot one more time. 00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:42.580 To the global stage now. Economics, geopolitics, 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:45.259 the Trump administration's trade wars. Right. 00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:47.659 And a key piece here is something called the 00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:50.419 de minimis exemption. Okay, what's that? Basically, 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.960 it lets you as a U .S. consumer import up to 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.419 $800 worth of goods per day without paying tariffs 00:09:57.419 --> 00:09:59.940 or fees. It's actually been around for ages since 00:09:59.940 --> 00:10:03.039 1938. The limit's gone up over time. The $800 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.419 level was set in 2016 with huge bipartisan support. 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.759 And the point is? Just to avoid the hassle and 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:10.659 cost of collecting tiny amounts of money on small 00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:13.080 packages, you know, the paperwork would cost 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.200 more than the tariff itself. Makes sense. But 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.940 the Trump administration sees it differently. 00:10:17.059 --> 00:10:18.700 Yeah, they're calling it a de minimis loophole. 00:10:19.370 --> 00:10:21.389 Peter Navarro, he was the president's senior 00:10:21.389 --> 00:10:24.070 counselor for trade, justified getting rid of 00:10:24.070 --> 00:10:26.210 it by executive order, claimed it was a national 00:10:26.210 --> 00:10:29.350 emergency. A national emergency? Why? Well, his 00:10:29.350 --> 00:10:32.909 reasons were diverse. Stopping narcotics coming 00:10:32.909 --> 00:10:35.570 in, raising maybe $10 billion in tariff money, 00:10:35.750 --> 00:10:38.250 creating U .S. jobs, fighting intellectual property 00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:41.710 theft. Does that logic hold up? Well, this raises 00:10:41.710 --> 00:10:45.850 an important question. Do those claims really 00:10:45.850 --> 00:10:49.799 pass the smell test? The sources argue Mostly 00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.500 no. The drug thing. Cartels aren't exactly declaring 00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:55.659 their shipments. Terrorists won't stop them. 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.379 Right. And the jobs versus revenue thing. It's 00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:01.580 contradictory. A tariff can't be massively revenue 00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:04.120 generating AD protectionist at the same time. 00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:07.470 If it protects jobs, people buy American, imports 00:11:07.470 --> 00:11:09.769 drop, and you don't get the tariff money. If 00:11:09.769 --> 00:11:11.169 you get the money, it means people are still 00:11:11.169 --> 00:11:14.289 importing. I see. So what are the actual consequences 00:11:14.289 --> 00:11:16.669 of ending this exemption? Immediate disruption. 00:11:16.889 --> 00:11:19.110 Starting tomorrow, apparently. There's just no 00:11:19.110 --> 00:11:21.870 system ready to handle tariffs on millions of 00:11:21.870 --> 00:11:24.090 small personal packages. And the impact is already 00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:27.870 showing. Postal services in like over 10 major 00:11:27.870 --> 00:11:29.889 countries, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, 00:11:29.990 --> 00:11:32.070 the UK, others have announced they're just stopping 00:11:32.070 --> 00:11:33.850 shipments to the US. Stopping them altogether. 00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:37.100 Wow. Yeah, which could really mess up the upcoming 00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.320 Christmas shopping season. The sources made this 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:42.519 interesting comparison to FDR trying to move 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.240 Thanksgiving earlier, Thanksgiving to boost shopping. 00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:47.720 It was a political disaster. He had to walk back 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.639 fast, messing with holiday commerce. Politically 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.820 risky. Definitely something to watch. OK, so 00:11:52.820 --> 00:11:54.419 that's one part of the trade wars. What about 00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:57.960 the bigger picture, specifically China and Xi 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.799 Jinping? Yeah. The sources describe Xi as Trump's 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.440 biggest and most dangerous adversary. And there 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.759 are like four main reasons why. Okay. One, just 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.720 the sheer volume of trade between the US and 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.580 China. Two, China holds massive amounts of US 00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:15.750 currency reserves. Three, China has way more 00:12:15.750 --> 00:12:17.649 options for other trade partners than the U .S. 00:12:17.789 --> 00:12:20.769 might. And four, Xi himself is seen as a very 00:12:20.769 --> 00:12:23.090 skilled political operator. So how is Xi playing 00:12:23.090 --> 00:12:25.110 this? Well, look at this signal China's sending. 00:12:25.350 --> 00:12:27.429 This Wednesday, they're having a huge 80th anniversary 00:12:27.429 --> 00:12:30.090 celebration of their WWII victory over Japan. 00:12:30.610 --> 00:12:33.169 Big military parade. Trump loves parades. Was 00:12:33.169 --> 00:12:36.230 he invited? Nope, explicitly not invited. But 00:12:36.230 --> 00:12:38.110 guess who is invited and attending? Vladimir 00:12:38.110 --> 00:12:41.330 Putin and Kim Jong Un. Oh, OK. That sends a message. 00:12:41.509 --> 00:12:44.090 A couple of messages, really. The parade itself 00:12:44.090 --> 00:12:47.110 says don't mess with China. But having Putin 00:12:47.110 --> 00:12:50.730 and Kim there while excluding Trump, that says 00:12:50.730 --> 00:12:53.230 I can play this geopolitical game better than 00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:55.850 you, Donald. And also, hey, you're not our only 00:12:55.850 --> 00:12:58.169 option for trade and partnerships, especially 00:12:58.169 --> 00:13:00.990 since Trump's talks with both Putin and Kim have 00:13:00.990 --> 00:13:03.350 stalled. Exactly. It reinforces that analogy 00:13:03.350 --> 00:13:06.330 the sources used. She is playing 40 chess while 00:13:06.330 --> 00:13:09.019 Trump is playing Candyland. Wow. OK, we have 00:13:09.019 --> 00:13:11.679 covered a lot of ground today, from sandwich 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.860 indictments to Anne Franklin's printing press 00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:17.899 to global chess moves. It really shows how connecting 00:13:17.899 --> 00:13:19.879 these different pieces gives you that fuller 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.340 picture. Hopefully you feel really well informed 00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:24.399 after this dive. And maybe it leaves you with 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.539 a final thought. This raises an important question. 00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:29.299 Think about the power of individual actions we 00:13:29.299 --> 00:13:31.899 discussed. A throne sandwich, a buried printing 00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:34.639 press, even appointed non -invitation to a parade. 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:37.799 How do these small things sometimes reflect or 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.460 even help shape these much bigger historical 00:13:40.460 --> 00:13:42.659 currents and political shifts? It makes you think 00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:45.639 about how easily the narratives we accept, politically 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.480 or historically, can be challenged just by looking 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:49.519 a little closer, doesn't it?
