Where to you is the light in this moment, politically speaking. And the people I visit with every day who even if they voted for the president, they don't like the direction we're going in. They don't like the cruelty of taking food away from kids, snatching kids out of their parents' arms because their parents have a pending asylum application and they've broken no laws. They don't like the cruelty that we are exhibiting to our fellow Americans, to our fellow neighbors. I talk in this book a lot about our shared faith. (38:47–38:59)
