So walk me through your reaction to the video that we saw in Washington, DC and what you want to hear from our elected leaders in the days to come. Yeah. Uriah, thank you again for having me. Look, Yesterday afternoon at Union Station, we saw the American flag being taken down from the flagpole, thrown on the ground, and lit on fire. That hits hard to me. It does. It really hits hard to me considering I've laid that flag on the coffins of over 150 service members in Arlington National Cemetery when I was with the honor guard. (00:43–02:39)
