Good to be with you Joe Great to be you've got a bunch of notes not all that much.
Have you prepared for this?
I am all prepared Well, it's a good time for you to be in here because the world's gone haywire.
Yes.
Yeah, what are your thoughts on this?
I think I start off with joke trying to take a deep breath and doing what is not often done.
Where are we as a country today?
What's going well, what's not going well?
And I don't think we don't have that kind of basic discussion.
And to my mind, I think in America today,
we are facing more serious crises than we have in the modern history of our country.
This is a pivotal moment in American history.
And what happens now will depend, determine the lives of our kids and future generations.
What specifically concerns you?
I'll tell you what concerns me, the issue of wealth and power.
All right?
I'm kind of old fashioned and I believe in democracy.
And I believe that everybody should have a good shot at living a decent life.
And what I worry about right now, and this is an issue, Joe,
and it's part of the problem, that it just ain't talked about very much.
