And it was a fascinating experience as I got out on the road, traveled to the smallest little hamlets in Tennessee or Alabama to the largest cities. I was impressed by the fact that most of the American populace has common sense. But I was disappointed that most of them did not have courage. Those people were not willing to stand up for what they believed in. They wanted to go along to get along.

They didn't want to be canceled. And I realized that that was a problem for our country.

by talking to them, by asking them, why aren't you doing something about this? Because people realized that our country was moving in the wrong direction. But very few people were willing to do anything about it, to stand up for it. That's in the process of changing. We saw the manifestation of that in this last election. But it required a lot of people to be out there beating the bushes.

And that's why we were out there beating the bushes. And we'll continue to do so because we still have a ways to go. We're a heavily divided country. And we've lost a lot of our moral compass. You know, things like traditional marriage are not occurring anymore or are occurring late. We're not having children. In 1960, the average woman had 3.6 children. Now we're down to 1.6. That's a problem.

You know, in terms of traditional nuclear families, all you have to do is look at television for five minutes. Any new series that comes on before they introduce an alternative to the traditional nuclear family. The values, all of our values are being questioned. And people are being driven apart.

Well, we become irrelevant.

Hard to say. But probably pretty quickly. You see how much we've changed as a country just in the last 30 years? Things are going on now that no one would have imagined 30 years ago. And sometimes the country is hardly recognizable anymore. But I don't think that's the way that the majority of Americans want it to be.
