Can You Trust The News? CNN Anchor Dana Bash on the Information War and Jewish Resilience

CNN anchor Dana Bash joins host Jonah Platt for an intimate and wide-ranging conversation about her career in broadcast journalism, her deep-seated Jewish identity, and the challenges of reporting in an era of intense political polarization and information warfare. She shares the inspiring story of her rise from a CNN tape librarian to one of the network's most trusted political anchors, reflecting on the evolution of media trust and the impact of partisan networks on public perception.

Dana opens up about her family's history, detailing her grandparents' harrowing escape from Europe during the Holocaust and how their legacy of resilience shapes her worldview today. She discusses the emotional and professional weight of reporting live on October 7th, 2023, and the complex realities of covering the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict while striving to maintain journalistic objectivity and transparency.

The conversation also touches on the current state of American politics, including the shifting dynamics within both the Democratic and Republican parties, and Dana's behind-the-scenes reflections on moderating the historic June 2024 presidential debate. Finally, she offers heartfelt advice on Jewish pride and the profound impact of allyship in challenging times.

Key takeaways

who<00:07:47.836> were<00:07:47.837> already<00:07:47.838> here,<00:07:47.839> they<00:07:47.840> were<00:07:47.841> kind<00:07:47.842> of<00:07:47.843> tapped<00:07:47.844> out<00:07:47.845> on<00:07:47.846> getting<00:07:47.847> people<00:07:47.848> over.

00:07:52.275 --> 00:07:57.375
Mm-hmm.<00:07:52.365> My<00:07:52.455> great-grandparents<00:07:52.545> on<00:07:52.635> my<00:07:52.725> grandfather's<00:07:52.815> side<00:07:52.905> got<00:07:52.995> over<00:07:53.085> and<00:07:53.175> others.

00:07:57.375 --> 00:08:03.105
And<00:07:57.376> so<00:07:57.377> the<00:07:57.378> boss<00:07:57.379> of<00:07:57.380> this,<00:07:57.381> um,<00:07:57.382> it<00:07:57.383> was<00:07:57.384> called<00:07:57.385> American<00:07:57.386> Decal,<00:07:57.387> that

00:08:03.105 --> 00:08:07.815
was<00:08:03.106> the<00:08:03.107> company<00:08:03.108> in<00:08:03.109> Chicago,<00:08:03.110> said,<00:08:03.111> okay,<00:08:03.112> I'll<00:08:03.113> sign<00:08:03.114> the<00:08:03.115> affidavit.

00:08:07.815 --> 00:08:11.565
For<00:08:07.816> your<00:08:07.817> brother<00:08:07.818> and<00:08:07.819> sister-in-law,<00:08:07.820> my<00:08:07.821> grandparents,<00:08:07.822> which<00:08:07.823> was<00:08:07.824> a<00:08:07.825> huge<00:08:07.826> deal

00:08:11.565 --> 00:08:13.965
back<00:08:11.778> then<00:08:11.992> because<00:08:12.205> it<00:08:12.418> was<00:08:12.632> a<00:08:12.845> lot<00:08:13.058> of<00:08:13.272> money.<00:08:13.485> Mm-hmm.

00:08:13.965 --> 00:08:17.115
I<00:08:13.966> think<00:08:13.967> it<00:08:13.968> was<00:08:13.969> like<00:08:13.970> 20,<00:08:13.971> $25,000<00:08:13.972> each,<00:08:13.973> which

1940s<00:08:18.225> money.<00:08:18.435> That's<00:08:19.065> huge.

00:08:19.485 --> 00:08:23.685
Yeah.<00:08:19.527> Huge.<00:08:19.569> And<00:08:19.611> which<00:08:19.653> was<00:08:19.695> a<00:08:19.737> big<00:08:19.779> part<00:08:19.821> of<00:08:19.863> the<00:08:19.905> subplot<00:08:19.947> that,<00:08:19.989> you<00:08:20.031> know,<00:08:20.073> we<00:08:20.115> can

00:08:23.685 --> 00:08:27.405
get<00:08:23.686> to,<00:08:23.687> which<00:08:23.688> is<00:08:23.689> you<00:08:23.690> could<00:08:23.691> get<00:08:23.692> here,<00:08:23.693> but<00:08:23.694> you<00:08:23.695> had<00:08:23.696> to<00:08:23.697> pay<00:08:23.698> for<00:08:23.699> it.

00:08:27.405 --> 00:08:32.414
Yeah.<00:08:27.410> And<00:08:27.416> the,<00:08:27.421> the<00:08:27.427> whole<00:08:27.432> FDR<00:08:27.438> administration,<00:08:27.443> Congress,<00:08:27.449> the<00:08:27.454> State<00:08:27.460> Department,<00:08:27.465> they

00:08:32.414 --> 00:08:35.115
were<00:08:32.722> determined<00:08:33.029> not<00:08:33.337> to<00:08:33.645> let<00:08:33.952> the<00:08:34.260> Jews<00:08:34.567> in.<00:08:34.875> Yeah.

00:08:35.115 --> 00:08:39.419
They<00:08:35.530> made<00:08:35.945> it<00:08:36.360> very<00:08:36.775> hard.<00:08:37.190> Right<00:08:37.605> before<00:08:38.020> Pearl<00:08:38.435> Harbor.<00:08:38.850> Mm-hmm.

00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:43.860
When<00:08:39.420> Hitler<00:08:39.421> knew<00:08:39.422> that<00:08:39.423> there<00:08:39.424> was<00:08:39.425> a<00:08:39.426> lot<00:08:39.427> of<00:08:39.428> pressure<00:08:39.429> on<00:08:39.430> the<00:08:39.431> US<00:08:39.432> to<00:08:39.433> get<00:08:39.434> into<00:08:39.435> World

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:46.740
War<00:08:43.861> II<00:08:43.862> and<00:08:43.863> didn't<00:08:43.864> want<00:08:43.865> that,<00:08:43.866> of<00:08:43.867> course.

00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:53.520
Right.<00:08:46.774> And<00:08:46.809> there<00:08:46.843> was<00:08:46.877> a<00:08:46.911> very<00:08:46.946> narrow<00:08:46.980> window<00:08:47.014> where<00:08:47.049> they<00:08:47.083> thought<00:08:47.117> that<00:08:47.151> perhaps<00:08:47.186> helping<00:08:47.220> to

00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:59.310
accelerate<00:08:53.521> the<00:08:53.522> Jewish<00:08:53.523> visas,<00:08:53.524> the<00:08:53.525> Jews<00:08:53.526> who<00:08:53.527> had<00:08:53.528> the<00:08:53.529> American<00:08:53.530> visas<00:08:53.531> to<00:08:53.532> leave

00:08:59.310 --> 00:09:02.895
might<00:08:59.311> help<00:08:59.312> somehow<00:08:59.313> because<00:08:59.314> of<00:08:59.315> this.

00:09:02.895 --> 00:09:07.334
The<00:09:02.896> Nazi<00:09:02.897> party<00:09:02.898> allowed<00:09:02.899> my<00:09:02.900> Jewish<00:09:02.901> grandparents<00:09:02.902> to<00:09:02.903> fly<00:09:02.904> across

00:09:07.334 --> 00:09:11.235
Europe<00:09:07.335> in<00:09:07.336> the<00:09:07.337> fall<00:09:07.338> of<00:09:07.339> 1941.

00:09:11.235 --> 00:09:15.795
Wow.<00:09:11.289> To<00:09:11.342> get<00:09:11.396> to<00:09:11.449> Spain,<00:09:11.503> and<00:09:11.556> then<00:09:11.610> they<00:09:11.664> got<00:09:11.717> on<00:09:11.771> a<00:09:11.824> ship<00:09:11.878> and<00:09:11.931> they<00:09:11.985> arrived.

00:09:15.795 --> 00:09:20.265
They<00:09:15.796> saw<00:09:15.797> the<00:09:15.798> Statue<00:09:15.799> of<00:09:15.800> Liberty,<00:09:15.801> Columbus<00:09:15.802> Day,<00:09:15.803> 1941,<00:09:15.804> 2<00:09:15.805> months<00:09:15.806> before<00:09:15.807> Pearl<00:09:15.808> Harbor,

00:09:20.265 --> 00:09:21.885
and<00:09:20.577> then<00:09:20.889> nothing<00:09:21.200> would've<00:09:21.512> happened.<00:09:21.824> Wow.

00:09:21.885 --> 00:09:24.495
Meanwhile,<00:09:21.886> my<00:09:21.887> great<00:09:21.888> grandparents,<00:09:21.889> my<00:09:21.890> grandmother's<00:09:21.891> parents<00:09:21.892> and

00:09:24.495 --> 00:09:27.704
sister,<00:09:24.728> they<00:09:24.960> stayed<00:09:25.193> in<00:09:25.425> Hungary.<00:09:25.658> They're<00:09:25.890> like,<00:09:26.123> we're<00:09:26.355> fine.

00:09:27.704 --> 00:09:31.949
We<00:09:27.929> have<00:09:28.154> a<00:09:28.379> treaty<00:09:28.604> with<00:09:28.829> Hitler.<00:09:29.054> Nothing's<00:09:29.279> gonna<00:09:29.504> happen<00:09:29.729> to<00:09:29.954> us.

00:09:31.949 --> 00:09:36.240
Fast<00:09:31.950> forward<00:09:31.951> to<00:09:31.952> 1944<00:09:31.953> when<00:09:31.954> Hitler<00:09:31.955> just<00:09:31.956> blew<00:09:31.957> through<00:09:31.958> that<00:09:31.959> treaty

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:42.060

00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:47.520
Mm-hmm.<00:09:42.115> And<00:09:42.170> my<00:09:42.225> grandmother<00:09:42.280> found<00:09:42.335> out<00:09:42.390> that<00:09:42.444> her<00:09:42.499> immediate<00:09:42.554> family<00:09:42.609> was<00:09:42.664> all<00:09:42.719> dead.

00:10:13.935 --> 00:10:19.665
about<00:10:13.936> what<00:10:13.937> their<00:10:13.938> lives<00:10:13.939> were<00:10:13.940> like<00:10:13.941> before,<00:10:13.942> what<00:10:13.943> their<00:10:13.944> lives<00:10:13.945> turned<00:10:13.946> into.

00:10:19.665 --> 00:10:23.145
He<00:10:19.666> was<00:10:19.667> so<00:10:19.668> proud<00:10:19.669> of<00:10:19.670> his<00:10:19.671> story.

And<00:30:09.795> it<00:30:09.796> all<00:30:09.797> kind<00:30:09.798> of<00:30:09.799> blends<00:30:09.800> together<00:30:09.801> in,<00:30:09.802> in<00:30:09.803> many<00:30:09.804> ways<00:30:09.805> now.

00:30:13.574 --> 00:30:18.794
And<00:30:13.775> like,<00:30:13.976> that's<00:30:14.177> okay.<00:30:14.377> They're<00:30:14.578> unabashed<00:30:14.779> about<00:30:14.980> it.<00:30:15.181> They're,<00:30:15.382> they're<00:30:15.582> very<00:30:15.783> upfront<00:30:15.984> about<00:30:16.185> it.

00:30:18.794 --> 00:30:24.525
MSNBC<00:30:19.028> at<00:30:19.262> night.<00:30:19.496> Particularly,<00:30:19.730> they're<00:30:19.965> very<00:30:20.199> upfront<00:30:20.433> about<00:30:20.667> who<00:30:20.901> they<00:30:21.135> are.

00:30:24.525 --> 00:30:29.595
Yeah.<00:30:24.579> And<00:30:24.633> what<00:30:24.687> they<00:30:24.741> wanna<00:30:24.795> be.<00:30:24.849> I<00:30:24.903> think<00:30:24.957> because<00:30:25.011> of<00:30:25.065> the<00:30:25.119> contrast,<00:30:25.173> there<00:30:25.227> are<00:30:25.281> lots<00:30:25.335> of<00:30:25.389> reasons<00:30:25.443> why<00:30:25.497> we're<00:30:25.551> not<00:30:25.605> perceived

00:30:29.595 --> 00:30:32.565
as,<00:30:29.596> as<00:30:29.597> middle<00:30:29.598> of<00:30:29.599> the<00:30:29.600> road<00:30:29.601> right<00:30:29.602> now.

00:30:32.565 --> 00:30:36.375
We're<00:30:32.566> kind<00:30:32.567> of<00:30:32.568> back<00:30:32.569> to<00:30:32.570> where<00:30:32.571> we<00:30:32.572> should<00:30:32.573> be.

00:30:36.375 --> 00:30:44.505
Um,<00:30:36.376> but<00:30:36.377> particularly<00:30:36.378> with<00:30:36.379> the<00:30:36.380> beginning<00:30:36.381> of<00:30:36.382> the<00:30:36.383> Trump<00:30:36.384> years,<00:30:36.385> it<00:30:36.386> was<00:30:36.387> such<00:30:36.388> a

00:30:44.505 --> 00:30:51.584
sort<00:30:44.506> of<00:30:44.507> shock<00:30:44.508> to<00:30:44.509> the<00:30:44.510> system,<00:30:44.511> the<00:30:44.512> system<00:30:44.513> of<00:30:44.514> journalism<00:30:44.515> to<00:30:44.516> I.<00:30:44.517> Be<00:30:44.518> in<00:30:44.519> a

00:30:51.584 --> 00:30:56.324
position<00:30:51.585> where<00:30:51.586> you<00:30:51.587> had<00:30:51.588> a<00:30:51.589> president<00:30:51.590> who<00:30:51.591> was<00:30:51.592> not<00:30:51.593> telling<00:30:51.594> the<00:30:51.595> truth.

00:30:56.324 --> 00:31:01.215
Yeah.<00:30:56.374> And<00:30:56.424> when<00:30:56.474> they<00:30:56.524> were<00:30:56.574> not<00:30:56.624> telling<00:30:56.674> the<00:30:56.724> truth<00:30:56.775> and<00:30:56.825> doing<00:30:56.875> so<00:30:56.925> on<00:30:56.975> live<00:30:57.025> TV<00:30:57.075> to<00:30:57.125> have<00:30:57.175> to<00:30:57.225> come

00:31:01.215 --> 00:31:05.594
out<00:31:01.216> and<00:31:01.217> correct<00:31:01.218> him<00:31:01.219> or<00:31:01.220> to<00:31:01.221> tell<00:31:01.222> your<00:31:01.223> viewers,<00:31:01.224> this<00:31:01.225> isn't,<00:31:01.226> this<00:31:01.227> isn't<00:31:01.228> right.

00:31:05.594 --> 00:31:13.064
Or<00:31:05.656> that's<00:31:05.717> a<00:31:05.779> lie.<00:31:05.840> Which<00:31:05.902> I<00:31:05.963> mean,<00:31:06.025> the<00:31:06.086> notion<00:31:06.148> of<00:31:06.209> me<00:31:06.271> using<00:31:06.332> the<00:31:06.394> L<00:31:06.455> word<00:31:06.517> about<00:31:06.578> a<00:31:06.640> president<00:31:06.701> pre<00:31:06.763> 10<00:31:06.824> years

00:31:13.064 --> 00:31:18.135
ago,<00:31:13.065> like<00:31:13.066> I<00:31:13.067> couldn't<00:31:13.068> even<00:31:13.069> imagine<00:31:13.070> that<00:31:13.071> that<00:31:13.072> is<00:31:13.073> something<00:31:13.074> that<00:31:13.075> I<00:31:13.076> would<00:31:13.077> ever<00:31:13.078> do.

00:31:18.135 --> 00:31:25.590
Right.<00:31:18.303> So<00:31:18.470> by<00:31:18.638> being<00:31:18.806> pro-truth<00:31:18.974> and<00:31:19.141> pro-facts,<00:31:19.309> we<00:31:19.477> were<00:31:19.645> perceived<00:31:19.812> as<00:31:19.980> being

00:31:25.590 --> 00:31:28.590
anti-Trump<00:31:26.360> and<00:31:27.130> anti-Republican.<00:31:27.900> Right.

00:31:28.590 --> 00:31:34.950
And<00:31:28.719> that's<00:31:28.848> the<00:31:28.976> current<00:31:29.105> state<00:31:29.234> of<00:31:29.363> things.<00:31:29.492> How<00:31:29.621> confident<00:31:29.749> are<00:31:29.878> you<00:31:30.007> when<00:31:30.136> you're<00:31:30.265> sitting<00:31:30.394> down<00:31:30.522> to,<00:31:30.651> to<00:31:30.780> speak

00:31:34.950 --> 00:31:40.800
mm-hmm.<00:31:34.983> That<00:31:35.016> the<00:31:35.049> information<00:31:35.082> you've<00:31:35.115> been<00:31:35.148> given<00:31:35.181> is<00:31:35.214> authentic<00:31:35.247> and<00:31:35.280> bulletproof?

00:31:40.800 --> 00:31:44.730
Really<00:31:40.876> good<00:31:40.953> question.<00:31:41.029> You,<00:31:41.105> you<00:31:41.182> can<00:31:41.258> never<00:31:41.335> be<00:31:41.411> a<00:31:41.487> hundred<00:31:41.564> percent<00:31:41.640> confident.

00:31:44.730 --> 00:31:47.730
I<00:31:44.731> mean,<00:31:44.732> it<00:31:44.733> depends<00:31:44.734> on<00:31:44.735> kind<00:31:44.736> of<00:31:44.737> the<00:31:44.738> flavor<00:31:44.739> of<00:31:44.740> the<00:31:44.741> information.

00:31:47.730 --> 00:31:51.630
Somebody<00:31:47.731> is<00:31:47.732> saying<00:31:47.733> something<00:31:47.734> to<00:31:47.735> you<00:31:47.736> like,<00:31:47.737> if<00:31:47.738> you,<00:31:47.739> Jonah<00:31:47.740> Platt<00:31:47.741> said<00:31:47.742> to

00:31:51.630 --> 00:31:57.810
me<00:31:51.631> today<00:31:51.632> the<00:31:51.633> sky<00:31:51.634> is<00:31:51.635> blue<00:31:51.636> and<00:31:51.637> I<00:31:51.638> go<00:31:51.639> on<00:31:51.640> television<00:31:51.641> and<00:31:51.642> say,<00:31:51.643> according

00:31:57.810 --> 00:32:01.230
to<00:31:58.011> Jonah<00:31:58.212> Platt,<00:31:58.413> the<00:31:58.614> sky<00:31:58.815> is<00:31:59.016> blue.<00:31:59.217> Like,<00:31:59.418> that's<00:31:59.619> pretty<00:31:59.820> safe.

00:32:01.230 --> 00:32:04.320
It's,<00:32:01.620> it's<00:32:02.010> on<00:32:02.400> the<00:32:02.790> record.<00:32:03.180> Yeah.

00:32:04.320 --> 00:32:09.930
If<00:32:04.321> you<00:32:04.322> as<00:32:04.323> a<00:32:04.324> podcast<00:32:04.325> host<00:32:04.326> tell<00:32:04.327> me<00:32:04.328> that<00:32:04.329> the<00:32:04.330> sky<00:32:04.331> is<00:32:04.332> blue<00:32:04.333> and<00:32:04.334> I<00:32:04.335> go<00:32:04.336> on

00:32:09.930 --> 00:32:16.785
television<00:32:09.931> and<00:32:09.932> say,<00:32:09.933> according<00:32:09.934> to<00:32:09.935> a<00:32:09.936> podcast<00:32:09.937> host,<00:32:09.938> the<00:32:09.939> sky<00:32:09.940> is<00:32:09.941> blue,<00:32:09.942> then.

00:32:16.785 --> 00:32:21.735
I'm<00:32:16.786> on<00:32:16.787> less<00:32:16.788> firm<00:32:16.789> ground,<00:32:16.790> but<00:32:16.791> I<00:32:16.792> bet<00:32:16.793> so<00:32:16.794> I<00:32:16.795> better<00:32:16.796> be<00:32:16.797> even<00:32:16.798> more<00:32:16.799> sure.

00:32:21.735 --> 00:32:24.855
Now<00:32:21.736> I'm,<00:32:21.737> if<00:32:21.738> somebody<00:32:21.739> tells<00:32:21.740> me<00:32:21.741> something<00:32:21.742> that<00:32:21.743> is<00:32:21.744> incorrect,<00:32:21.745> even<00:32:21.746> if<00:32:21.747> they

00:32:24.855 --> 00:32:27.765
do<00:32:25.017> it<00:32:25.179> on<00:32:25.341> the<00:32:25.503> record,<00:32:25.665> I'm<00:32:25.827> not<00:32:25.989> gonna<00:32:26.151> use<00:32:26.313> it<00:32:26.475> if<00:32:26.637> I<00:32:26.799> know<00:32:26.961> it's<00:32:27.123> incorrect.<00:32:27.285> Right.

00:32:27.765 --> 00:32:32.505
Point<00:32:27.766> being,<00:32:27.767> especially<00:32:27.768> when<00:32:27.769> you<00:32:27.770> have<00:32:27.771> sources<00:32:27.772> who<00:32:27.773> don't<00:32:27.774> wanna<00:32:27.775> use<00:32:27.776> their<00:32:27.777> names.

00:32:32.505 --> 00:32:35.445
It's<00:32:32.506> important<00:32:32.507> if<00:32:32.508> you<00:32:32.509> can,<00:32:32.510> to<00:32:32.511> get<00:32:32.512> more<00:32:32.513> than<00:32:32.514> one<00:32:32.515> source<00:32:32.516> Right.

00:32:35.445 --> 00:32:38.415
To<00:32:35.446> corroborate.

00:32:38.415 --> 00:32:43.575
Also,<00:32:38.416> as<00:32:38.417> much<00:32:38.418> as<00:32:38.419> we<00:32:38.420> can<00:32:38.421> give<00:32:38.422> context<00:32:38.423> to<00:32:38.424> why<00:32:38.425> we're<00:32:38.426> getting<00:32:38.427> that<00:32:38.428> information,

00:32:43.575 --> 00:32:46.830
to<00:32:43.576> kind<00:32:43.577> of<00:32:43.578> explain<00:32:43.579> to<00:32:43.580> the<00:32:43.581> viewers.

00:32:46.830 --> 00:32:49.860
Maybe<00:32:46.831> not<00:32:46.832> who<00:32:46.833> it's<00:32:46.834> coming<00:32:46.835> from,<00:32:46.836> but<00:32:46.837> where<00:32:46.838> it's<00:32:46.839> coming<00:32:46.840> from

00:32:49.860 --> 00:32:53.250
and<00:32:49.861> why,<00:32:49.862> but<00:32:49.863> we<00:32:49.864> get<00:32:49.865> burned.

00:32:53.250 --> 00:32:57.000
Yeah.<00:32:53.255> And<00:32:53.259> the<00:32:53.264> most<00:32:53.268> important<00:32:53.273> thing,<00:32:53.278> and<00:32:53.282> the<00:32:53.287> difference<00:32:53.292> between<00:32:53.296> those<00:32:53.301> of<00:32:53.305> us<00:32:53.310> who

00:32:57.000 --> 00:33:02.040
are<00:32:57.001> still<00:32:57.002> in<00:32:57.003> the<00:32:57.004> business<00:32:57.005> of<00:32:57.006> trying<00:32:57.007> to<00:32:57.008> get<00:32:57.009> it<00:32:57.010> right<00:32:57.011> and<00:32:57.012> striving<00:32:57.013> for

00:33:02.040 --> 00:33:08.250
accuracy<00:33:02.041> and<00:33:02.042> objective<00:33:02.043> journalism<00:33:02.044> is<00:33:02.045> when<00:33:02.046> we<00:33:02.047> don't<00:33:02.048> get<00:33:02.049> it<00:33:02.050> right,<00:33:02.051> we<00:33:02.052> own<00:33:02.053> up

00:33:39.090 --> 00:33:42.240
I<00:33:39.091> feel<00:33:39.092> like<00:33:39.093> it's<00:33:39.094> been<00:33:39.095> especially<00:33:39.096> tough<00:33:39.097> because.

00:47:13.275 --> 00:47:17.955
In<00:47:13.276> fact<00:47:13.277> most<00:47:13.278> of<00:47:13.279> them<00:47:13.280> did,<00:47:13.281> but<00:47:13.282> they<00:47:13.283> still<00:47:13.284> existed<00:47:13.285> and<00:47:13.286> they<00:47:13.287> made<00:47:13.288> it<00:47:13.289> harder<00:47:13.290> for

00:47:21.345 --> 00:47:25.185
Now<00:47:21.346> at<00:47:21.347> this<00:47:21.348> point,<00:47:21.349> either<00:47:21.350> those<00:47:21.351> people<00:47:21.352> are<00:47:21.353> long<00:47:21.354> gone<00:47:21.355> because<00:47:21.356> they

00:47:31.755 --> 00:47:35.415
Or<00:47:31.756> they're<00:47:31.757> just<00:47:31.758> sucking<00:47:31.759> it<00:47:31.760> up<00:47:31.761> and<00:47:31.762> closing<00:47:31.763> their<00:47:31.764> mouth.

00:47:35.415 --> 00:47:38.535
Yeah.<00:47:35.466> Or<00:47:35.517> in<00:47:35.568> some<00:47:35.619> cases,<00:47:35.670> they're<00:47:35.721> now<00:47:35.772> part<00:47:35.823> of<00:47:35.874> his<00:47:35.925> administration.

00:47:38.535 --> 00:47:48.360
Right.<00:47:38.725> And<00:47:38.914> that<00:47:39.104> is<00:47:39.294> really<00:47:39.483> the<00:47:39.673> big<00:47:39.863> difference,<00:47:40.052> the<00:47:40.242> quote-unquote<00:47:40.431> resistance<00:47:40.621> was<00:47:40.811> in<00:47:41.000> effect<00:47:41.190> among

Republicans<00:47:48.361> back<00:47:48.362> then,<00:47:48.363> and<00:47:48.364> it's<00:47:48.365> not<00:47:48.366> now.

00:47:51.420 --> 00:47:58.515
And<00:47:51.421> what<00:47:51.422> this<00:47:51.423> means<00:47:51.424> is<00:47:51.425> that<00:47:51.426> the<00:47:51.427> Republican<00:47:51.428> Party<00:47:51.429> is<00:47:51.430> now<00:47:51.431> a<00:47:51.432> Trump<00:47:51.433> party.
