TREY: WELCOME BACK TO
"SUNDAY NIGHT IN AMERICA,"
MOST OF YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD
OF MICHELLE CODDLE, I WAS
TEMPTED TO LET IT STAY THAT
WAY, BUT I CAN’T, SHE IS A
LIBERAL "NEW YORK TIMES"
EVIDENCENEW"NEW YORK TIMES"
EDITORIAL WRITER, SHE IS
UPSET THIS WIVES OF
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ARE
APPEARS IN TELEVISION ADS
FOR THEIR HUSBANDS, SHE
WROTE ABOUT IT IN A
HIGH-MINDED PEACE, PIECE,
THAT USE GAG AND SPARE ME,
SHE RIGHTS FOR "NEW YORK
TIMES," KACIE DESANTIS WOULD
APPEAR IN A AD FOR HER
HUSBAND RON DESANTIS,
MICHELLE REFERRED TO RON
DESANTIS AS AS AUTHORITARIAN AND TRUMP’S, I WONDER HOW
AND TRUMP’S, I WONDER HOW
MANY TIMES CODDLE HAS MET
DESANTIS.
STRANGE, SHE WHO DOES NOT
RON FEELS EMPOWERED IN USE
CODE WORDS FOR FASCISM TO
DESCRIBE HIM.
BUT GOD FORBID KACIE
DESANTIS SAY A WORD ABOUT
HER MAN SHE HAS BEEN MARRIED
IT OVER FOR A DECADE AND HAS
THREE CHILDREN WORK IT ISN’T
CHANGE PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW
THE CANDIDATE AND NEVER MET
THAT CANDIDATE CAN GAVE
THEIR OPINION BUT THOSE WHO
DO, CANNOT.
>> DO YOU KNOW LAST
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE THAT PAPER
ENDORSED.
THINK HARD IT WAS A LONG
TIME AGO LIKE HALF A CENTURY
AGO.
IS EN
>> NOT RONALD REAGAN MUCH
NOT EVEN THREE PRESIDENTS
WHO WON NEW YORK.
NOPE.
GENERAL IS EN EISENHOWER THE
LAST REPUBLICAN WORTHY OF
YOUR VOTE.
THEY LIKE SENATOR ROMNEY BUT
NOT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
ROMNEY.
NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN
HIGH LIFETIMEIN -- MY
LIFETIME HAS BEEN DEEMED
WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE.
1984, RONALD REAGAN WAS UP
FOR REELECTION, OPENING LINE
OF THE TIMES ENDORSEMENT
EDITORIAL READ IN PART.
WE’RE FOR WALTER MONDALE,
EVEN THOUGH RONALD REAGAN
HAS DONE A GOOD JOB, NOT
THAN OTHER PEOPLE WERE FOR
MONDALE.
HE LOST 49 OUT OF 50 STATES.
WINNING ANNUALLY HIS HOME
STATE OF MINNESOTA, AND THAT
OF THEWAS CLOSE, ELECTORAL
COLLEGE COUNT WAS 525 TO 13.
REAGAN WON POPULAR VOTE BY
NEARLY 20 PERCENTAGE POINTS,
IF YOU LIKE UNITY, YOU
SHOULD HAVE LOVED 1984, I
DON’T THINK WE’LL SEE A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE UNIFY
THE NATION LIKE RIG AN DID
REAGAN DID IN 1994, EVEN
THEN THE TIMES AND MINNESOTA
ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE HEAR
PHRASE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC A LOT
FROM THE WRITERS AT "NEW
YORK TIMES," SOME MIGHT
ARGUE WHEN YOU ARE THE OTHER
SIDE OF 525 ELECTORAL VOTES,
YOU MIGHT BE ANTI-DEM
DEMOCRATIC, I’LL SAFE YOU
THE MYSTERY, TIMES WILL
ENDORSE DEMOCRAT CONDITION
CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT FROM
NOW UNTIL THE END OF TIME
AND CONTINUE TO NOT CARE.
TURNING TO WHAT WE CARE
ABOUT, HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT PEOPLE NOTICE WHEN YOU DO
PEOPLE NOTICE WHEN YOU DO
ACTIONS OF KINDNESS.
KINDNESS, ANSWER IS YES.
PEOPLE REMEMBER AND FOR MUCH
LONGER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK.
SOME CASES, A SEEMINGLY
SMALL ACT OF KINDNESS WAS
REMEMBERED FOR DECADES.
SO THE GEST IS, THERE ARE NO
SMALL ACTIONS OF KINDNESS,
NOT TO THE RECIPIENT AT
LEAST.
IF YOU ARE AT STORE, SOMEONE
IS PUTTING THINGS BACK
BECAUSE OF MONEY IS SHORT,
HELP THEM OUT.
THEIR RECOLLECTION OF YOUR
KINDNESS WILL LAST LONGER
THAN THAT MONEY YOU SPENT.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHETHER
TO OFFER SOMEONE GET A
STROLLER OFF OF PLANE WHILE
THEY ARE HOLDING THEIR
CHILDREN DO, IT.
IT IS KIND.
IT LEAVES A MEMORY.
IF YOU ARE IN DRIVE-THRU,
HAVE A LITTLE CHANGE LEFT
OVER, APPLY IT TO THE PERSON
IN THE CAR BEHIND YOU, IF
YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED
FOR A LONG TIME, RUNNING FOR
OFFICE OR BEING FAMOUS IS
NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.
BEING KIND WILL LEAVE A
LONGER LEGACY.
TONIGHT.
THINKING OF THINGS THAT
LAST, I SPENT A WEEK AT
BEACH WITH MY FAMILY, TRYING
TO CONVINCE MY WIFE THAT I
DIDN’T REALLY NEED ANY SEA
SHELLS, I HAVE NOT LOST ANY.
WHY WOULD I GO LOOKING FOR
THEM.
BUT, SHE PREVAILED AND LIKES
TO LOOK FOR SEA SHELLS.
OFF I WENT.
BEACH CAN TEACH US A LOT
ABOUT HOW FAST LIFE MOVES
AND HOW SMALL WE ARE IN THE
GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS.
AND MOST IMPORTANT WHAT
MATTERS.
50 YEARS AGO, I WAS WALKING
SOUTH CAROLINA BEACHES WITH
MY GRANDMOTHER AS SHE WAS
LOOKING FOR SEA SHELLS IN A
BLINK OF AN EYE EVERYTHING
CHANGED.
EXCEPT THE THINGS THAT WILL
LIKELY NEVER CHANGE, STARING
AT THE OCEAN IS GOOD FOR THE
SOUL, THE OCEAN IS VAST AND
ANONYMOUS AND OVERWHELMING,
WHAT WE DWELL ON AND WORRY
ABOUT, WHAT OCCUPIED OUR
TIME, THE OCEAN DOESN’T
CARE.
IT WAS HERE BEFORE US IT
WILL BE HERE LONG AFTER THE
FOOTPRINTS OF OUR LIFE
WASHED AWAY, OCEAN EBBS AND
FLOWS WITHOUT CONCERN FOR
POLITICS OR FINANCES OR
TIME.
WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF SOCIAL
MEDIA AND OCEAN ’CUS DOES
NOT CARE ABOUT, THAT.
FAMILY VACATION IS NOT
REALLY ABOUT SEA SHELLS OR
THE FOOT PRINTS BUT ABOUT
THE PEOPLE WE LOOK FOR THE
SHELLS WITH.
THE PEOPLE WE LOOK AT THE
OCEAN ALONGSIDE.
FOOTPRINT OF THOSE WE WALK
BESIDE.
THE BEACH CAN MAKE US FEEL
SMALL, THAT IS OKAY.
THE SMALLNESS IS MORE THAN
OVERCOME BY THE SIGNIFICANCE
OF THOSE WE SHARE THE BEACH
WITH.
PARTS OF NATURE CAN HUMBLE
US.
THEN THERE IS FAMILY.
