Jim Webb [01:58:11] Corn dogs, baseball, and church on Sunday, but in all seriousness. Like decency, right? Decency, yeah. It is, you know, the city, like the shining city on a hill, you know the different aspects of this country, which have just, you that the whole story of this country, people pouring in and carving out an entirely new way of life, throwing off, you the bonds of being under repressive kings and governments from all over the world for incredibly long periods of time and reforming this under ideals that are stipulated in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. You know, nobody has the right to prevent you from defending yourself. You can always speak your mind. You can't incriminate yourself. And I think a lot of people take this for granted here. And a lot these are slipping away by the way. Which is which is very troublesome, but those are why you know, that's what motivated me is Seeing the historical arc of this country growing up knowing that my my dad my grandfather You know you run it all the way back people served to defend those ideals And the quality of life that you have here the freedom of movement that you Have I mean you can move wherever you want.

They knew they stood there and fought because Marines at Belleau Wood stood there and fought, and it goes all the way back through history. It's, you know, you hold yourself accountable through your peers. And- Well, they wear decorations from previous wars. All right, my unit had the French Forge, which they earned in World War I. And we had to memorize why that was. That's the cord? Correct, yeah. Yeah, my dad had that. Yeah, green cord.
