Rahm Emanuel

And then third, let me get to something both in and else.

I was actually thinking about it as I was this morning, looking at some things in the paper, and it reminds me of a bike trip I did.

So when I was done being mayor, I biked around Lake Michigan, 984 miles, 13 days.

And my joke was that I discovered in the process that the worse the cell phone service was, the nicer people were.

But I actually think, one serious note,

You look at the reaction to how the number one news item is the Artemis spaceship.

People in America are all over this in a level that they've never seen.

Also true after years aside, the Olympic Games.

Third is another kind of touchstone anecdote.

I saw something today.

People are paying X dollars so they can be in a reading room together in a community with other people.

I think people are yearning for a sense of threads that tie us together.

They're exhausted from a division politics.

And

We've had division before.

We'll have division again.

When you have a country this diverse, there's always going to be divisions.

Gender, education, race, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation.

But we've never had a president that exacerbates it.

So a president, he's not the responsible for the divisions, but he is responsible for exacerbating them.
