We at Heritage are called.

Every single one of us, we're non-sectarian, but almost every single person at Heritage is deep faith.

Of course, we respect them all.

But every one of us is called to wake up every day and not just...

help good policy get implemented, however we're going to do that, but to be cheerful warriors because we love that aspirational vision so much.

And I say all of that because it makes those relatively infrequent conversations of differences of opinion be put in context.

And I'll give you a story, an example.

I've got a friend now.

He's a longtime Heritage donor.

He's a friend who's a retired OBGYN.

And he sent me a, I won't use his name because it sounds like I'm being nasty to him.

It's quite the opposite, as you will see.

But he sent me this email about a year or two into my tenure at Heritage.

And he said, Kevin Roberts, I know that you are a big pro-lifer and I know that pro-life is a big issue for Heritage.

We work on every issue.

We're one of the few entities that does.

And he said, but you emphasize it so much for reasons I can't understand.

Yeah, I'm reading this the way I think he's writing it.

That I'm just thinking we're not going to be donors.

Well, I called him.
