But I think what we have to demand of our politicians is at least some minimal threshold level of truth telling. We have to make sure that politicians pay a price when they just egregiously lie to the public. And we've seen this time and time and time again. Now, all the polling data, Georgia. show that there's a massive loss of trust by the American people in their institutions.

That's not the fault of the American people. That's the fault of the institutions, which means it's the fault of the people who lead and run these institutions.

They earned the distrust that they now have, whether we're talking about the media, whether we're talking about government and politics, whether we're talking about the judiciary, whether we're talking about the presidency itself, whether we're talking about religion, Look at all the great institutions on which we rely for a healthy society who have lost the trust of the people.

The only way to get unity is to rebuild trust. And the only way to rebuild trust is for people in leadership positions in politics, journalism, the corporate world, in religion, to actually be honest with people. You can't please everybody. We are a deeply divided society.

We are legitimately divided over very, very important issues, deep moral questions, questions of the human good, human dignity, human rights, fundamental justice. That's the reality we have to deal with. But we can trust each other despite our differences if we can rely on each other to be honest, say what you mean, mean what you say, have integrity. Don't just jerk us around.

Tell us one thing today when it's convenient for you politically or some other respect and then tell us another thing tomorrow to shift with the winds. We need people in leadership positions and not just politics. More broadly, we need leadership that will be honest with us. We can respect that even if we disagree.

Well, I've been a critic of President Trump since he came down the Golden Escalator. A lot of my criticism has been focused on character issues. Back when Bill Clinton was president and the Lewinsky scandal happened, I was one of the people who said, you know, this has got to be taken seriously because character matters for leadership.

I opposed those people who said, well, a person's personal private life makes no difference to his public leadership abilities. And I said, no, in the long run, it does. In the long run, character really matters. matters. So I haven't been a Trump supporter. Now, I certainly was not a Hillary Clinton supporter or a Biden supporter. But here's my attitude toward President Trump.

He was elected president of the United States. I didn't vote for him, but he was elected president. That means he's my president as well as everybody else's president. And what that means is that I have an obligation to support him when I can and oppose him when I must. So I'm looking for every opportunity to support him. But there are issues on which I simply cannot support him.

But there are issues on which I simply cannot support him.

And in that case, I'm going to have to oppose him. I think Donald Trump is right about some things and some concerns that he has voiced have been genuine concerns of the American people. And there are concerns of people who are concerned about the least well-off sectors of our society. So I will support the president and do support the president when I can, and I will only oppose him when I must.
