Maybe on the top of that list is taking another person's life.
00:01:08.260
Sometimes it's the right thing to do in a situation, but either way, you don't get to take it back.

00:03:51.580
the issues that shape our daily lives are right in front of us.
00:03:59.480
is this problem bigger or smaller than it was four years ago?
00:04:08.440
And again, please listen if you are one that says,
00:04:17.020
whether it's at the gas pump, in the grocery store,
00:04:22.000
Four years ago, what were you paying for a gallon of gas?
00:04:45.700
We're now at three, three and a half percent inflation rate,
00:04:49.160
but that's on top of the 20% that has already been added.
00:05:06.060
How secure do you feel in your retirement funds?
00:05:17.160
Or are you thinking, I might have to get a second job?
00:05:19.820
Or have you already gotten a second job and you are still struggling?
00:05:31.220
All the way to prescription drugs because the little capsules,
00:05:40.880
We hear a lot about the transition to cleaner energy,
00:05:43.540
but many of us are still dependent on traditional sources of power
00:05:49.860
Now, the administration says that they want you to get rid of your gas stove,
00:05:56.760
But electric is made mainly by coal in America.
00:06:05.120
Or are these shifts in the global market affecting your bottom line?
00:06:15.940
Then there's the issue of crime and safety on our streets.
00:06:23.860
your sense of security may have improved or worsened.
00:06:26.960
I don't know where your sense of security might have improved,
00:06:35.100
Do you feel safer walking in your neighborhood now than you did four years ago?
00:06:39.860
Are you comfortable with your wife or your daughter going out of the house
00:06:49.960
Have you noticed changes in how law enforcement operates in your town?
00:06:57.200
They directly impact whether you feel safe in your own home,
00:07:01.900
whether your children feel secure when they walk to school.
00:07:15.760
How does it compare four years ago when we weren't teaching DEI?
00:07:33.840
And then you were called a terrorist if you spoke out against it by our government.
00:07:39.100
From concerns about curricula to the growing conversation around transgender affirmative care
00:07:46.780
for young people, parents across the country are asking questions about what kind of education
00:07:53.860
Are they getting a better education of reading, writing, and arithmetic?
00:08:02.220
And do you feel empowered as a parent to shape your child's learning environment?
00:08:16.920
We've also seen robust debates around freedom of speech,
00:08:20.720
from social media censorship to the limits of free expression in public and corporate spaces.
00:08:25.700
Because many feel the boundaries of what can and cannot be said have shifted.
00:08:31.040
For the first time in my lifetime, I'm not sure about my future in broadcast.
00:08:38.280
For the first time in my lifetime, I have friends outside of broadcast
00:08:43.080
that are afraid to say anything at work for fear that they'll be fired
00:08:47.780
because they have a politically incorrect opinion.
00:08:51.280
Has your ability to speak freely, whether online or in your community,
00:08:57.360
become easier or more difficult over the last four years?
00:09:01.120
Do you feel that public discourse is more open or more constrained?
00:09:26.880
That one you'll have to go back to a lot of them on.
00:09:37.440
Whether you live near the border or far from it,
00:09:41.980
Our immigration policies of an open border influences you.
00:09:48.740
Your security, our economy, the social fabric of our nation.
00:09:53.460
Are you more confident today in our nation's ability to manage immigration?
00:09:58.420
Or are you concerned, more concerned than you were four years ago?
00:10:05.320
You know, they just caught somebody from Afghanistan.
00:10:14.800
And they were planning on a massive terror strike on election day.
00:10:30.600

00:10:33.500
Whether it's ongoing tensions in various parts of the world
00:10:42.020
through just higher prices and economic uncertainty.
00:10:57.340
because I never thought it would be reasonable to use.
00:11:01.460
But we're now seriously talking about facing a nuclear war.
00:11:10.200
Do you feel the specter of war were a draft of your son?
00:11:21.480
Is that more likely or less likely than it was four years ago?
00:11:33.020
whether it's through rising prices, monopolies,
00:11:48.120
to bail those corporations out that play ball or less likely?
00:11:52.120
Do you think this administration is more likely
00:11:54.700
to continue to bail out the banks or less likely?
00:11:57.560
Do you feel that the corporations are being held accountable
00:12:02.620
for doing things that are absolutely un-American?
00:12:10.800
of being in bed with the government keeps playing out?
00:12:24.080
For those who consider themselves people of faith,
00:13:16.000
When we experienced Afghanistan and the withdrawal,
00:13:45.840
Is it different how our society views religion now?
00:13:56.040
Whether you're satisfied with the answers or not,
00:14:18.900
I think it's really clear on what happens in Texas.
