it's like we can -- i got that from sarah jessica parker. >> jimmy: is that right? shout-out. but you know, one of the things i think that got missed on tmz is the main thing i was stressing is the idea of trying love. you know, we're always, you know, pushing out so much hate and love can cure so much. just to think, am i moving in love? is this out of love? not out of pride. pride is a word people often say in a positive connotation, but it's actually one of the seven deadly sins. it takes too much ownership. but you can replace pride with love. and when i see people just even like go at the president, it's like, why not try love? for one person to stand up against all odds and just hug somebody the way that alice johnson hugged her family when she got out of jail. that one by one by one we can defuse this nuclear bomb of hate that we're in as a society by thinking of everyone as our family. and how would we treat our kids? how would we treat -- >> jimmy: i think that's a beautiful thought but in literal terms there are families being torn apart at the border of t
