yes hey so as someone who's raising a kid of your own what advice do you have for young people when making well-informed political decision oh my gosh what advice do I tell my child he's three and a half so I keep him away from all news I truly do uh and even Paw Patrol which is just teaching him indoctrinating a love of police and Authority so that's a problem as well you see it seep in in um I it you know it is to me I think exposure is the first step uh expose yourself to kids is that what I'
m telling you I mean it comes from uh meeting other people talking to other people and uh and staying curious enough to understand where they come from I think I I've talked about this a little bit before but when I go out in the road and I talk to people uh at rallies and it's rallies MAA rallies and even rallies on the left as well I think the thing that I find least appealing is certainty uh people have no sense of there being a gray area or being unsure of how something should play out and i
t doesn't mean you shouldn't be uh strong in your convictions but I think you need to leave space to be wrong and to be curious and so I think with a total amount of certainty and a lack of uncertainty comes a lack of curiosity in which case we just become these people lost in those silos and so I think my job as as a dad how I see it in terms of like what what am I supposed to do I'm supposed to feed and water it right I think I got that feed and water this child but I think I need to I need to
instill and maintain a sense of curiosity a sense of confidence to walk into the world uh and a sense of uh finding virtue and uncertainty as opposed to certainty and then from there he needs to walk his own path uh but that's simply because I can't afford it past 18 you know [Applause] [Music] yeah
