Richard Dawkins and Julia Sweeney Discussed Science and Politics the Day After the 2016 Election

On November 9, the day after the election, Richard Dawkins sat down with comedian Julia Sweeney for a pre-planned interview at the University of Indianapolis.

Their conversation begins at the 7:20 mark with a brief venting session about the previous night… before getting into a longer conversation about science.

Even looking back on that part of the discussion, it’s appalling how those fears about Trump have manifested over the past several months. And we don’t even know the half of it. It’s frightening to think about what additional damage Republicans will do to appease the worst instincts of their ignorant base.

I haven’t had a chance to watch the entire conversation, so if any moments stand out to you, please leave a timestamp and summary in the comments.
