Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, the weekly show. It's going to be coming out every Thursday. So exciting. You'll be saying to yourself, TGID. Thank God it's Thursday. We're going to be talking about all the things that hopefully obsess you in the same way that they obsess me. The election. Economics. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. And I know that I listed that fourth, but in importance it's probably second. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts go, but how many of them come out on Thursday?
Starting point is 00:00:50 I mean, talk about innovative. Listen to the weekly show with John Stewart, wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to Comedy Central. From the most trusted journalists at Comedy Central, it's America's only source for news. This is the Daily Show. I'm Roy Chang. We got lots to talk about tonight. Republicans leave unity on red. The Trumps make nepotism great again. And we've got lots of talk about tonight. Republicans leave unity on red. The Trumps make nepotism great again. And we try to find a reason why J.D. Vance won't suck. But let's start things off with the
Starting point is 00:01:50 Republican National Convention in our continuing coverage of Indecision 2024. Last night was night two of the RNC and it's been a very unusual convention because someone shot the candidate four days ago. And the media consensus after this was that this week would be about healing. The attack on Trump has changed the storyline and the tone of this convention with the former president calling for unity. Something has fundamentally shifted here. This is going to be a different tone.
Starting point is 00:02:28 This is going to shift what we are hearing from every single person who takes the state. It is about unity. It's about coming together and supporting one another now. More trying to lower the political temperature here. It's like a wholly different convention that we're going to see. I think that bullet grazed his ear but it impacted his heart. Impacted his heart it opened his eyes it lowered his cholesterol it engorged his penis but yeah what on the street was that the RNC speeches were going to be civil and polite now so bring on the
Starting point is 00:03:02 good vibes. The Democrats disastrous record on crime, trade, and regulation has ruined the lives of countless Minnesotans. Your family is less safe. Biden's violent crime crisis. Our children are dying. War on families. Woth indoctrination. Trampled underfoot by the radical left.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Biden and the Democrats are doing everything they can to tear down this great country. America cannot afford four more years of a weekend at Bernie's presidency. Kumbaya, my lord. I mean, I guess this is toning it down. And for the record, it is totally unfair to compare Joe Biden's presidency to Weekend at Bernies, okay? For one thing, Bernie could pass as an alive person. Okay, also, that movie got a sequel.
Starting point is 00:03:55 But it wasn't all death and destruction. There was also a lot of ass-kissing, like from the co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Laura Trump. Yes, Laura Trump. I wonder if they are related. I know that I'm lucky enough to get to call him my father-in-law, my father-in-law, my father-in-law, my father-in-law, and if not for the support and encouragement of my father-in-law, I wouldn't be where I am today. Yeah, we kind of figured that. But hey, I'm not hating, okay? I would love to have a father-in-law who gives me a career.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I mean, all my father-in-law gives me is anger that I haven't given him a grandchild. Like, chill out, man, I'll hit it raw when I'm ready. But the RNC has to win over more demographics than just daughters and law. So when the former presidential candidate and Indian Tintin Vivek Rameshwami took the stage, he made an appeal to young voters. Our message to Gen Z is this. You're going to be the generation that actually saves this country. You want to be a rebel?
Starting point is 00:05:02 You want to be a hippie? You want to stick it to the man? Show up on your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative. Say you want to get married? Have kids. Okay, you know what? F*** diversity? Bring back the white people. Yo, it's like, he expects us to believe all the cool kids are handing out behind the bleachers like, hey, after we finish not having sex, let's fund offshore fracking. And as an Asian, I just want to make it clear that Vivek Ramaswami does not represent
Starting point is 00:05:36 me, okay, because Indians are not Asians. But if Vivek didn't convince young people that is cool to be Republican, hey, check out this sick beat. It's the Mayor Megaville, baby. You know who we vote and vote? We vote in Donald Trump, baby. America needs safe. I didn't think it was possible to dishonor vanilla ice, but they did it. In fact, I wish I got shot in the year, so I don't have to listen to that shit.
Starting point is 00:06:13 But do Republicans not remember? They have Kanye. Like I know he's a bit of a Nazi now, but I really don't think this room will mind. Now, the main theme of night two was making America safe again, which got off to a bad start when Rudy Giuliani did an impression... When he did an impression of his net worth and plummeted to the ground? I mean... net worth and plummeted to the ground. Don't worry everyone he's fine okay fortunately the only thing that can hurt Rudy is garlic and holy water. But the
Starting point is 00:06:51 theme was meant to highlight crime and drug use in America and some speakers came out to talk about how much real tragedy they've suffered these last few years. My son murdered with a knife on the streets of New York City. My beloved sister Rachel murdered by a suspected illegal immigrant. I was insulted as a guest as the other ones. And hey, I'm not saying it wasn't painful that someone made fun of you while you had a free dinner, but maybe next time just go before the widows and the orphans, so that's
Starting point is 00:07:43 like an escalation of tragedy. But you know what, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was probably just ramping up. I'm sure she suffered a much worse tragedy. My family was denied service and kicked out of a restaurant. Okay, lady, you heard the speeches before you, right? There are people who are like, my whole family's addicted to fentanyl, and you're like, I know, right? And Chipotle totally skimped on my guck.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Come on, you gotta give me something tragic, make me tear up. And a parent, at my three-year-old son's preschool spit on my car. Okay. Sarah is like, what is happening to America? When someone can just walk up to my car and, huh? Spill that thing! Why? Are you even, don't applaud it, don't applaud it. Why are you even mad about that? You're in Arkansas, isn't that just a car wash there?
Starting point is 00:08:55 For more on the second now of the RNC, we go live to Milwaukee with Michael Costum. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks, Ryan. Michael. How's it going over there? Thanks, Ron. It is great to be here in Milwaukee. You know?
Starting point is 00:09:13 I know we canceled all our shows here this week, but I'm glad that I got to stay here in Milwaukee, which is where I am. Okay, so Republicans and the media were really talking up how this country needed unity. What happened? Yeah, well it's boring so they stop. Back to you, Ronnie. Wait that's it? All that talk of bringing the country together and lowering the temperature and they couldn't
Starting point is 00:09:39 do it. Yeah, you know, old habits are hard to change. It's human nature. I do it. I'm always telling myself, Michael, you gotta read more books. Day one, I'm cracking open war and peace. But day two, I'm like, you know, porn hub has a comment section. That's reading. Yeah, look, I know it's hard, but isn't it worth making the effort to try and bring the country together? No, it's not. It's actually un-American. Division has always been a part of American identity.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Hamilton versus Burr, the North versus the Confederacy, Tits versus Ask, still dividing families today. We're a nation built on disagreement. Where did this idea come from that the United States has to be united? Okay, I don't think that's right. I mean, I feel like America has been united before. Like, what about after 9-11? Oh yeah? How'd that go? We united around invading the wrong country. You know, it's like my parents always told us as kids, we're not good together. Okay look, we need one half of America to hate the other
Starting point is 00:10:51 half. Okay, so you don't think this assassination attempt is an opportunity for us to maybe change? It's the opposite, Ronnie. I don't want some 20-year-old gun nut forcing us to change who we are as a nation? Think about it. If we put our differences aside and build a better future, well then the terrorists have won. Okay, that... You know, that is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. That's the most American thing you've ever said. I hate you, dude. Michael Costa, everyone. When we come back, we'll discuss the GOP's new vice president, so don't go away. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show coming out every Thursday.
Starting point is 00:11:34 the thr-y-a'-a'-a'-a'-earned-a. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here. I am here to tell you about my new podcast, The Weekly Show, coming out every Thursday. We're going to be talking about the election. Earnings calls. What are they talking about on these earnings calls? We're going to be talking about ingredient to bread ratio on sandwiches. I know you have a lot of options as far as podcasts, but how many of them come out on Thursday? Listen to the weekly show
Starting point is 00:12:05 with John Stewart, wherever Senator J.D. Vance officially accepts a nomination to be Vice President of the United States, but to much of America, Vance is still largely unknown. Former President Trump's new running mate, J.D. Vance has had a meteoric rise in the Republican Party. The freshman senator was first elected in 2022. Raised in poverty, Vance enlisted in the Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq. He later graduated from Yale Law School and wrote the best-selling memoir, Hillbillyelogy, before turning to politics.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Vance is largely aligned with Mr. Trump's MAGA makeover of the GOP, opposing abortion rights and aid for Ukraine. Wow, I'd be kind of worried about this guy becoming president, but the good news is Trump is unkillable, so the point is mood. The question is, is he the right person to be Donald Trump's running mate? For analysis, we turned to Desi Lyddeck in Washington, D.C. and Jordan Clapper at the Republican National Convention. Jordan, let's start with you. Trump just picked another white guy when he could have brought some diversity to a ticket.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Do you think this was a smart pick? Wow, uh, I don't want to put you on blast, Ronnie, but J.D. Vance does bring diversity. He'd be the first vice president over a hundred years with a beard. A kickass beard. A bro-sp strong chiseled alpha beard. The face pub ceiling has been shattered. Hazzar! Ronnie, I'm sorry to interrupt, but Jordan couldn't be more wrong. J.D. Vance is a terrifying prospect.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Oh, uh, is it because of his views on women's rights? Yeah, and also because he has a beard. I'm sorry, but I do not trust a man if I don't know where his neck ends. Wow, wow. How dare you, Desi, you have no idea what it's like to have a beard. Oh, believe me, I know what it's like. I have been a beard for more men than I can... I don't trust this guy. I mean, how can a man have empathy for the working class when he doesn't even care about to to to to to to give to give to give to give to give to give to give to give to give to give to give to give to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their te.a.a.a.a. trea.a.ea.ea.ea.a. tre.ea. tre.e. truea. toe. toe. their their their theust this guy. I mean, how can a man have empathy for the working class when he doesn't even care about giving me stash rash? Oh, shame. Shame, Desi, shame. That is discrimination against the forgotten bearded Americans.
Starting point is 00:14:34 The lumberjacks, the metal band bases, Travis Kelsey, Jason Kelsey. Anyone involved in and around the brining of pickles, all right? They deserve a voice in the White House. Oh, come I. Are you that superficial, Jaa? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? tha? thi thi thi thi thi thi? thi? thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. teeeeea, ta. ta. ta. ta. ta. tas. te, thi, thi, all right? They deserve a voice in the White House. Oh, come on. Are you that superficial, Jordan? If I just slapped on a beard, would you vote for me? Oh, my culture is not your costume, Desi, D.C. Okay, guys, guys, come on. Just to be clear, Jordan, are you saying that you agree with Desi that J.D. V. thi. that's, that you that you that you that you that you that you that you that thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th th thi. thi. that that th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. th. to. th. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th..D. Vance is a dangerous ideologue. I do. Okay, but you still support him because he has a beard? 100%.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Look, I can't turn my back on my people, Ronnie. You don't know what it's like. You're an asshole. You always get to vote for someone who represents you. Look, we can't miss the opportunity to see a bearded man in office. We're tired of living in the five o'clock shadows! We'll finally have a straight talker who won't coutout to the clap trap from the fat cats at Phil Dorelco. Straight talker, beards hide things.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Black heads, white heads, lack of chin, too much chin. And he's open about all of his horrific policies, so if that beard is hiding something, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, toa, toa, toa, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, too, too, too, too, to chin, too much chin. And he's open about all of his horrific policies to if that beard is hiding something, it must be really bad. Oh, this is ridiculous. Beards do not hide anything. Oh, really? Not even a sharpy dick that never fully washed off.
Starting point is 00:15:56 I told you that incompetence. And that is rich stuff coming from someone who wears a shirt at the pool to hide a lower back tattooed of Dariah. I'm talking that incompetent. Guys, guys, listen, we have to lower the temperature here. Oh, shut up, Ronnie. You can't even grow a beard. Look.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Let me put this in perspective. If I may quote Martin Luther King. No, don't do that. If I may quote Martin Luther King, there's... Don't don't do that. Fair enough. Fair enough, fair enough, but as Abraham Lincoln once said, a government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. What does it have to do with beards?
Starting point is 00:16:42 Lincoln had a beard. The hair that unites the north in the south of the face! That's where he got the idea from! And if a beard made Lincoln one of this country's finest leaders, who knows? Maybe a beard will make Jady Vance not as terrible as I'm pretty sure he will be. Okay, let's hope so. Jordan Clap Daly. When we come back, Star Gow Away will be joining you on the show, so don't go away. Hey, everybody, John Stewart here.

My guest tonight is NYU professor, entrepreneur, and best-selling author whose book is called the Algebra of Wealth. Welfth, a simple formula for financial security.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Please welcome, Scott Galloway. and best-selling author whose book is called the Algebra of Wealth, a simple formula for financial security. Please welcome, Scott Galloway. Thanks for joining me, Professor. Thanks for having me. Algebra of Wealth. What is the algebra of wealth? So it's retrospective and all the mistakes. No, no, I mean what is the, how do you make money?
Starting point is 00:18:38 How do you make money? Yes. Now I wanted to insert me into the story, Ronnie. So it's, okay, so the algebra. The first is focus, try and find your talent, not your passion. Anyone who tells you to pursue your passion is already rich. Find something you're good at in an industry that has an employment rate above 90%.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Side hustles mean your main hustle isn't working, go all in on something. Then you want to talk about stoicism. Control the things things things things things things things things th th thinks thinks thinks the thinks thinks the the thinks thinks thinks the thinks th, control the things you can't control, you can control your standard. Okay, this is a complicated. How do I... Why? How are we doing so far?
Starting point is 00:19:10 Why are people poor and who should we blame? That is, whose fault is it that everyone is poor? Is it baby boomers? Is it Bitcoin? Is it the government? Yes. That we are poor? Well, I think that every, essentially every fiscal policy in America over the last 20 or 30 years has been nothing but an elegant transfer of wealth from the young to the old.
Starting point is 00:19:37 We transfer one and a half trillion dollars from young people to the wealthiest generation in history, seniors. You can say it, boomers. You can say fucking boomers, yeah. The two biggest tax deductions, capital gains, and mortgage interests, who owns homes and stocks, people my age, who makes their money from earnings and rent, people their age. So I think everything we do is nothing but an elegant transfer of wealth from young to old. People call them entitled, I think they're actually entitled to be enraged. Wow, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I love how... I love how... You came in here, you're like, yeah, it's my fault that I'm rich and you're poor, I'm the fuck you, you can't do anything about this. But what can people do about? I mean, first of all, I mean, kudos to, you know, you're you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're the first, you're their, you're their, you're to to their, you're a, you're to to to to to to to their, you're, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, I'm their, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're a. their. their. their. their. their, I'm a their, I'm a their, I'm a th. th. th. th. to tooo. to to to th to th th to th to th th the the first boomer I've heard in the last decade to give young people some props, you know, to be like, hey, it's not, because all I've heard for last decade is boomers yelling at millennials or being lazy and eating avocado. So, you know, we're like a refreshing voice here. Look, the average seven year old is 72 percent wealthier. Look, the the average seven th se th se th, th, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi tho thoompera thoomper thi thi thi thoompera their their their their their their their their their young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young young their their their their the average 70 the average 70 the average seven the average seven the average seven the average seven th. the average th. thi that, that, that, that, that, that that that to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thooooo The average person under the age of 40 is 24% less wealthy. The child tax credit gets stripped out of the Infrastructure Act, $40 billion, but the $120 billion increase, annual increase in cost of living adjustment for seniors flies right
Starting point is 00:20:55 through. So anytime I want to say, Bummers, I'll just link to this part of the video. So I mean, I love to continue making the case case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case the case to to to bea to bea to bea to bea to beaqaqaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to tooom. to to to to their their to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their to bea.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a.a. I. I toe. I toe. I toe. I to. I to. I this guy said. So I mean, I love to continue making the case against bloomers, but I also like to figure out like, so what can we do about? Yeah, what can we do about? What can you? There's a variety of things. One, lower taxes on, put more money in the pockets of young people. Education's gone up fourfold. That was pretty pop. That was pretty populous. Housing's gone up four acts, education's gone up two X.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Meanwhile, minimum wage. If it had just kept productivity, inflation would be in 23 bucks an hour, but it's 7.25. We need a series of policies that make it easier for people to get ahead. 60% of people aged 30 to 34 used to have kids. Now it's 27%. They're literally opting out of America. They look up, they look down, they see prosperity everywhere, and 210 times a day they get a notification of someone vomiting their foe wealth in their face. It's no accident that we have, we are raising a generation of the most obese, anxious, depressed, suicidal
Starting point is 00:22:07 generation in history. So... Wait, you were doing so well there with praising the young people. And you took a hard turn, I just wasn't ready for, I'm sorry. Are we good or not? I was our fault or not? Well, I do think it's hard problem. OK, but besides being civically engaged and caring about the world, what can a young person do to make money? Well, again, I think it's. Nobody got that one, but it's all.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Because what you're describing is policies, right? And I think a lot of young people feel disenfranchised and voting. And so besides agency. Everyone needs to have a sense of agency. One, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thi, to bea, to bea, to bea, to be to be to bea, to bea, to bea, to bea, to bea, to bea, to be to be toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, thoomomomomomomomomomomomomom. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thiaugeanananananananananananana, toeanananananooananananoanoomorrow, toea, toea, thi, th everyone needs to have a sense of agency you do have agency one recognize how fast time is going to go if between the ages of 20 and 30 if you just save 3 to 6 percent of your salary you're gonna end up wealthy by the time you're my age recognize the time is gonna go faster than you think diversify and also recognize recognize that your 20s is about workshopping don't be so hard on yourself, but also recognize you're gonna live a lot longer than you think.
Starting point is 00:23:06 And so just try to develop a savings muscle and put a little bit of money away in case you don't go double platinum or sell a business. Most of us, because our species hasn't lived past 35, thirty-five, because of us, their sown, I'm kind of horrified looking in front of me right now. So you're just you just made my wife your best friend. Anyways, this is essentially start start early and so you can save, you can control your spending, spend less than you make,
Starting point is 00:23:40 develop a savings muscle and then really lean into your strengths and try and become great at something. And pick a non-vanity industry that has greater than the 90-plus percent employment rate. Okay, so your advice young people is that the boomers are screwing you over, try to vote people in who can hopefully reverse that a little bit. Our elected officials are a cross between the golden girls and the walking dead. The average... But that is true. That is true but I'm asking you as a person with more experience than me and much more well read on this. Do you feel like this is kind of like the last death grasp of the boomers trying to hold on and if we just can weight
Starting point is 00:24:23 them out another five years we can regain control and balance things out hopefully I think that's hopeful but the average age is now the old oldest elected populace of any democratic institution what happens in a democracy if you're not forward leaning like our ancestors and investment of middle class old people have figured out they can vote themselves more money does a a person, a speaker of the house, when she had a first child, Castro had declared, just declared martial law in Cuba. Two-thirds of houses did not have a TV. Does she really understand the challenges facing a 25-year-old single mother or a 22-year-old male
Starting point is 00:24:58 who has a lack of economic or romantic prospects? The average age of Americans is 35. We need a representative democracy. We need more young people that will vote for money and make forward-leaning investments. Man, you just said that's done when this boomers just won't die. They just won't die. They keep holding on making decisions. They're like entrenched in decision-making positions and lowering the capital gains tax. So net worth essentially compounds you up to you. So you got it.
Starting point is 00:25:29 92%. There's a, there's an incumbency rate of 95%, or between 92 and 95% in addition, because of gerrymandering, we essentially send to Washington, hard right crazies and hard left crazies who have one thing in common and that is they're really old and they keep voting themselves more money. If we don't start investing in the future, democracy is literally going to collapse on itself. And we get to these levels of income inequality, they owe a self-correct through war, famine
Starting point is 00:25:55 and revolution. We need to do something about this. Okay. So we'll be fine, is what you's. But so the solution is find people who speak this language and vote them in, right? That sounds like what you're... We absolutely need a younger electorate, but we also need fiscal policies that do what our previous generations do to invest invest in the future, an investment in the middle class, technologies.
Starting point is 00:26:18 But as someone who speaks, no, I'm sorry to cut you up, but as someone, someone who speaks boomer, when you talk to your fellow bumers and you and that, and th and th and th and th and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and th, and thu, thuers, thu, thu, th, th, thi, thi, it's th, it sounds it's thinks it sounds it's thi, it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds it sounds, it sounds, it sounds, it sounds it sounds, it sounds, it's, it sounds it's, it sounds, it's, it sounds, it sounds, it's their, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, it's their so so so it's their so so it's their so it's their so somea, sounds, sounds, sounds, sounds, it's their so it's their, it's their, it sorry to cut you up, but someone who speaks boomer, yeah. When you talk to your fellow boomers and you tell them like you're kind of taking away the things that you benefited from, right? Can we put them back in? How do you convince these f-foolea people to do that? The key to progress with those FDR Teddy Roosevelt is having a series of class traders. If you don't make these forward-leaning investments, the reality is people, people, you have your world of work, you have your role to friends, you have your role the kids. When something comes off the track with one of your kids, the whole world shrinks to that kid. So the question is, are we willing to make the same sort of forward-liennowards, that, that, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toeaning investments, to-to-s, to-s, their, to-s, the-s, the-s, th. to-s, and to-a-a-s, and to-a-a-a-a-s, their-s, the-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, their, their, their, their, their, and their, their, their, and their, and their, and their, and their, and somea, and somea, and somea-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s..a-s.a-s.a-s.a-s.a-s.

Starting point is 00:27:05 One solution I think would help us get back to that is that I think we need mandatory national service, such as we can develop more connective tissue. And young Americans can meet people from other ethnic groups, other sexual orientation and realize that they can build something great in the agency of others, and not see each other as Democrats, but see each other as Democrats or trans or non-trans but see each other's Americans and start making these forward-leaning investments that have made America. Well, as a young person, thank you for trying to look after the next generation.
