found by copy pasting "Tucker Carlson, in his interview with Ben Shapiro while discussing self-driving trucks" into the google and getting lucky

Just a tip, you can encode a timestamp in a YouTube URL. Right click at the time you want to point to and choose "Copy video URL at current time". Or just encode the time in seconds as ?t=<seconds_to_jump_to> in the query string.

You can also express it as a combination of minutes and seconds (presumably hours are supported too): https://youtu.be/awM0nrlOZxk?t=6m10s

This is tedious. It's a time-worn strategy of all politicians and activists to justify their preferred policies pretextually. If you have something to say about the actual policy he's discussing -- industry protectionism -- you should make that comment instead.

But if your comment is just "one time someone from the other team said the quiet part aloud" that's rather naive and unremarkable.

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

I don’t know whether you meant it this way, but your comment comes across as “let me Google that for you”. Either way, I also wanted a source, and thank you for posting the link here so I also don’t have to go looking for it.

I absolutely did mean to be as snarky as possible. Asking for a source for something is one thing, but when the person you (not referring to you, but the original person I replied to) asked gave the word for word, verbatim search term who's first result is the EXACT thing you asked for, and you type "SOURCE TIMESTAMP" anyway, I can't be charitable.

HN Guidelines for comments:

> Don't be snarky.

It makes for a nicer community if you just post the link and leave out the snark.
