We didn’t know on that November day in 2016 how much damage Trump would do. Now, we have the power to write a brighter chapter, to wake up the morning of November 6th with a sense of optimism and hope that things will not only be alright, but better.

Jillian Michaels on Glenn Beck: The Right Needs a Healthy Amount of Shame! Glenn Beck admits that there is a growing amount of people on the right that are unbelievably dangerous. Michaels believes what needs to happen is isolation, a marginalization of those voices and not platform them on major platforms. The racists, bigots, and antisemites in any Party needs to be condemned and severely punished.

Mark Carney: we live in a dangerous and divided world. Pierre Poilievre: We bring forward optimism for what our country can be, and realism about where we are today. Optimism without realism is a fantasy. Realism without optimism is surrender. I ask today that we do both.

Hoekstra on Trump saying the US doesn't need Canada: Need is one thing. We have needs for lots of things ... It's another thing to say that those needs have to be filled by a particular country -- that it has to be filled by Canada.

🚨 Elon Musk: "The actions of the West are indistinguishable from suicide." Elon Musk: “Unless people have a sense of optimism and purpose about the future, suicide might be just what happens.” “Like having a child is an act of optimism about the future. I think we need to maybe give people a sense of optimism and excitement about the future and a belief that the future will be better than the past and they'll be more interested in having kids.” Friedberg: “Did religion play a role in the past to kind of placate and make folks feel that way?” Elon: “Nature abhors a vacuum, and if you take away religion, then I think you actually get something in its place which is actually worse than what was there before.” “I mean, it's like destructive, basically. You get the woke mind virus taking the place of religion.” “ You get these dystopian de facto religions that are very self-destructive.”

Trump: "There could be firings, and that's their fault, and there could also be other things. We could cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, and they'd be permanently cut. So you could say, a lot of people are saying I wanted this. And I didn't want it. But a lot of people are saying it because I'm allowed to cut things that should have never been approved in the first place and I will probably do that."

Welker: You announced this week that the House will not be in session until the government reopened. But there are still things that you could be doing. There's a new democratic congresswoman who still needs to be sworn in. Isn't there still critical work that you could be doing on behalf of the American public? Johnson: We're doing that critical work
