I mean, the best line that identifies or marks this very dark moment in American history is what Bill Gates said, and that is that the richest man in the world is killing the world's poorest children.
And I thought, Jesus Christ, that's puncturing and sad. And that kind of identifies our mega politics right now. And I think that the Cardinals who elect, I think they decided that America is in desperate need of a moral standard bearer and the world needs someone that America will take seriously. And I was thinking so much about like, how did my generation fuck up so bad?

Well, my youngest, he's got the most wonderful grandparents. His wife's parents, correct? Yeah. My grandparents spent on average age expectancy. You know how everyone says I'm going to live forever? None of my grandparents made it past 50.

Anyways, he's just the most wonderful man. Took over the family room to build a train set for the boys. And he's always with my youngest built these Legos. And this time he came over, my youngest is 14 and into girls and snap and fashion and football. And they built about half of it. And then he said, Zsa Zsa, I don't wanna do this. I don't feel like it. He wasn't enjoying it that much.

And I could tell it was very upsetting. It's like one of those moments when you feel like that's probably the last time I'll pick up my kid or the last time I'll build a Lego with my grandson. And I was trying to figure out a way to say to him, look, that's not cool. Even if you didn't want to build this or finish it, you should have realized this was important to your grandfather and finished it.

And that is we don't do a good enough job of identifying values and then basing those actions and those political views off those values as opposed to just what makes us feel good or feel like we're part of a tribe or feels some sort of thrill because the other side looks stupid or feels confirmation because we're signed up for whatever narrative with the party we've chosen believes.
