It doesn't mean you have to agree on everything else.

It doesn't mean you have to start a family with someone on the opposite end of the political aisle.

But I do think that Americans need to wake up from tribal thinking where they think like my side is perfect, their side is evil.

No, no, there are areas of important agreement between the two sides.

And so if there's an area where we can work together

to maybe change some of the influences that are baked into our government that allow for our politicians to serve the best interests of a foreign country over our own.

Like, we need to work together to change that immediately.

Yeah, absolutely.

In fact, just yesterday on The Young Turks, I made a point about how, you know, if you are a Democrat who's in a solidly red district, you don't have a chance in hell of getting a Democrat elected.

get active in the primaries for the republican uh race right like what i would do if i were in that kind of position i mean i'm in california so i'm not in that position but if i were i would look at the two republican candidates in the primary and ask myself do either one of them reject money from the israel lobby and if one of them does i'm going to cast my ballot for that republican

Right.

Because that you got to think strategically about what you want our country to look like.

And you're not going to improve it if you're so obsessed with your own party identity that you're unwilling to maybe hear out candidates on the other side of the aisle.

That's kind of where I'm at on that issue.

That's just one example of something that can be done.

But in regard to what we do, Megan, for our careers, I have no problem collaborating with people on the right.

I have no problem debating people on the right either in a simple way on other issues.

But if Tucker Carlson wants to work with me, if you wanna work with me, if we wanna find a way to work together to get the message out to our audiences on this incredibly important issue, I am ready and willing to do it.

Knowing that there are people on my side, I'm gonna deal with friendly fire from them because they think you should only talk to your own side.

No, I'm not gonna do that.
