We were talking to your husband about this when
we spent some time with him.
And I personally feel frightened.
I feel like the world is a very scary place right now.
And I do a show every single day where
I'm supposed to make people happy
and forget about what's going on in the world.
What is your take on what's happening?
Yeah, people are afraid.
But then there are people who feel good
about the direction of the country.
So that's what makes this country complicated,
because it's made up of so many different people
from different backgrounds.
We are this mosh pit of society.
And sometimes, there's a rub.
But the thing that we have to remember,
the thing I learned in the eight years
that I was in the White House, was
that what we do every day in our lives, the good things
that we do every day, and we know we do it--
we show empathy.
We care for each other.
We do have a lot in common.
That's what it means to lead with hope and not fear.
And that's all we have is hope.
So I would just encourage your viewers, the country,
to do the things we do every day, to love each other,
to take care of each other, to show empathy.
And you can't do that only when people
make you feel good or safe.
We've got to do it all across the board.
We have to be an open-hearted nation.
And that's who we are.
And that's the truth of who we are.
We can't lose sight of that.
Yeah.
So let's just keep living our lives
like that every single day and forget what
they're saying in Washington.
That's not necessarily who we are.
We know who we are.
And I know who this country is, because I went out to towns
and cities all over the place.
And even if people didn't agree with me or my husband,
they were kind.
They were hard-working.
They were trying to do the right things every day.
And that's what we have to remember about each other.
That's who we are.
So I'm grateful to all of you for the work you've done.
I am too.
