00:00ask you a question like how much does it matter what americans think well it matters every bit
00:05what americans think that's why americans vote it's why americans have the opportunity to
00:09have free speech we want them to have that okay so what percentage of americans support a war
00:14with iran i don't know do you know i do it's i think it's around i saw the numbers yesterday
00:19i think it was like 21 okay is that enough to have a war with ron we don't live in
00:25a world where
00:26you have a poll taken to find out whether our policy should be a particular direction because
00:33i thought i thought you just said that's direct democracy no we care deeply about it but on the
00:38other hand do we make the decisions of foreign policy and even domestic policy based on we care
00:44deeply about it in what sense how if we're ignoring it then in what sense do we quote care deeply
00:49about
00:50it well i think we care deeply when we see there's a threat no but about americans opinions so you've
00:56got 350 million americans um they vote they voted in this last election on the basis in part of the
01:02promise no more wars okay so now we're about to have a war looks like 80 of people are against
01:07it
01:07in that range let's say 70 but nowhere near majority support for this war and it's not direct democracy
01:14but it is a form of democracy it's representative democracy the ultimate form of democracy in our
01:19system in a republic because we're not a true democracy we're exactly right it's a mediated it'll be
01:25an opportunity for americans to vote if they think that we've made the wrong policy decisions i
01:30personally think the president is making the right policy but i guess but you just said it matters
01:35deeply what americans think and if the overall majority are against it in what sense does it
01:40matter because what i hear is it matters what they think but it really doesn't matter what they think
01:44because no you take it in you certainly ingest that and then what ultimately once you ingest it then you
01:50make sure that you have no you just gotta you it goes out the other end obviously
