“I know how political things like this can get, so I just wanted to, you know, first off, I just wanted to say thanks for hearing me out on this.”“Of course, of course. I know how important this is to you, so I, uhhh, wanted to hear your take. Of course.”“Like I said, things like this can get political really fast, and I just hope that we can all keep our eyes on what’s important here.”“Absolutely, Rick.
