the second thing i would say is there s a little bit of difference between the two. one is clearly meant to mislead, the other is a little more sattire, and i m not a lawyer, but i think it would be upheld by any court as a first amendment type of thing, the desantis example. but i think even more importantly, this is a great opportunity, paula, for cnn, other reputable news agencies, to really step up to the plate and help society understand when these things are occurring, how we make sure that they don t impact people s decisions, and it really having that good old-fashioned journalism to wrestle these things to the ground and inform the public, i think, will be a really important activity for all of you. phil sigel, thank you. thank you.
talking about the saudis. i mean, come on. i just look at this and i think just from somebody who this is not my wheel house, but to look at where does our moral center move? you know, as somebody who communicates through sattire, my friends are journalists and this is the world i live in. to say we can put someone out there and we are now putting prices on bounties, what does that mean? an arms deal is worth a life and we ll talk about that. i think it really does a reset on who we are as a nation, our moral compass and back to her point, how we get to live in the world. we are people who want to travel the world. we love being global citizens and that s part of who we and are to be able to compromise because you have someone who is saying we do now have a price on life and that is, to your point, is it an arms deal, you know? why do we forgive these people to make our own lives better,
