Yes, thanks for having me.
That's a heavy question.
Yeah.
I mean, like starting off, I had a lot of like hard conversations with family members.
Some don't want to talk to me anymore.
Then like I told this story before, but like my aunt and I stopped speaking for like a couple of months.
Very close.
And she ended up having a stroke, like, right before the CNN debate.
And then by the time I got home, like, my dad was like, well, don't rush home.
Like, you're not going to change anything or whatever.
So by the time I flew to Virginia, she had passed.
And, like, you know, that's something I've been, like, dealing with the last two years.
But I tell everybody, like, none of this, whether you're on the right, the left, like, none of this is worth falling out with family members over.
And, like, it's really hard to, like, you know,
separate the politics from the person, but I'm like, what about me is a different person?
Like, how am I a different friend today than I was pre that, you know?
Exactly.
horrible i would not want her running a small supermarket that my parents owned i would not i would not so what are we comparing our guy to yeah a hundred percent like the president's the polar opposite of that sometimes people might not like the way he says things but it's very direct and i think that's what helped him get elected is because i think people are tighter seeing the like clintons and like the obamas and like you know the
Like establishment type candidate.
Exactly.
