And we need leaders stepping into the breach who are responsible on demonstrating what human connection and rapport and relationships is supposed to look like.

How do we treat each other?

And the last thing I'll say about it, and I know I've riffed on it, is in this election, as a Green Beret who has worked in a lot of insurgencies, and I've seen how it ends, just like you have, I am far more worried in this election about

how we treat each other discussing these issues than the issues themselves.

Because the biggest threat we face is in how we deal with these issues.

If we deal with these issues the way that we are and we keep on this path, shit, it's gonna be so easy for Al-Qaeda and ISIS and everybody else to just fillet us.

Yeah, yeah.

It's like we're a remote outpost.

I tell people like, imagine that you're on a hilltop and you're defending against an onslaught of the Taliban, right?

And you and me are in a foxhole and we're fighting this onslaught and they're starting to flank us now.

And they're coming around our flank.

And it's very clear that they're about to get the high ground on us.

And so at that point, I just turned to you in my foxhole and I just knocked the shit out of you.

and then you knock the shit out of me.

And then we just start knocking the shit out of each other while the Taliban are flanking us.

That's what we're doing.

Yeah, literally.

Literally, that's what we're doing.

And so I think we got to shake off that trance.

I've never heard it put that way.
