=== Today's Unbridgeable Gulfs (02:17) ===

[00:00:01]  It'll be very interesting for me to get reports from you on how your Thanksgiving went with relatives and or friends with whom you differ.
[00:00:10]  Because to differ today, you see, it's not like differences of the, let's say, more than 25 years ago.
[00:00:22]  You know the old story?
[00:00:23]  What is it?
[00:00:24]  Ronald Reagan would go to have a drink with the Speaker of the House who was a Republican.
[00:00:29]  Tip O'Neill.
[00:00:31]  It was well known.
[00:00:32]  He was a Democrat.
[00:00:34]  He was a Democrat.
[00:00:35]  Yeah.
[00:00:36]  I think you said Republican.
[00:00:37]  Oh, if I said Republican, I blew it.
[00:00:40]  Yeah, he was a Democrat and Reagan was a Republican.
[00:00:45]  The differences today are, to use one of the most preferred words of folks on the left, is existential.
[00:00:54]  If you actually think that it is okay to open the borders, there's not much you have in common.
[00:01:06]  If you think that America is systemically racist and that the primary problem of American blacks or black Americans is Racism, white racism.
[00:01:21]  These are pretty unbridgeable gulfs.
[00:01:26]  If you believe men give birth and children should have life-changing, body-changing hormone blockers at a prepubescent age and then be allowed to have their genitalia surgically changed or their breasts removed if they're girls.
[00:01:48]  What exactly is the middle ground on that?
[00:01:53]  If you think that Israel and Hamas are both committing genocide, that they're somehow moral equivalents, it's not going to be a very pleasant conversation.
[00:02:09]  So it's tough today.
[00:02:12]  The difference is...
[00:02:15]  are unbridgeable and enormous.
