Sean Hannity: Your African American son, then your biological son in life, are you saying that's institutional racism in the country. What are you referring to?

Speaker Mike Johnson No, it's, it's a reality though, having raised two 14 year old boys in America and in the state of Louisiana, they had different experiences. And I'm not so sure it was all about skin color, but it is about culture and society. Michael, our first came from a really troubled background and had a lot of challenges. Jack, on the other hand was raised in our household from the time he was born.

And it just struck me, Sean, that it is a reality that, you know, there are different, there are different paths in life and people have lots of things they have to overcome. So it gives you a lot of empathy. It allows you to see into the heart of people and really try to understand them better.

That, that comes in handy in this arena because we're really expected to hate our colleagues on the other side of the isle and beat them all the time as enemies, politically speaking. But you have to recognize that this is a system that was built upon disagreement. I mean, what the Founders intended here in this legislative context is that we're going to come to the table with very different philosophical ideas and core principles and we have to arm wrestle over that and reach consensus to move the ball forward for the American people. That's what the system is built upon and right now people are going to their corners and they're refusing to talk. We've got to get over that.
