We're all raised in an environment and we take on ideas from, again, our parents, our school system, our media, our government. And we run that software throughout our lives. And some of it just works and we don't have to think about it that much about why it works. Some of it doesn't work, but we run it because everyone else around us is running it too.

So right now, the risk for me is that I am tribal on the MAGA movement, right? Like I don't consider myself MAGA.

I think our lives are emotionally driven.
