this is what russell kirk writes at the end of the introduction. "both the impulse to improve and the impulse to conserve are necessary to the healthy functioning of our society. whether we join our energies to the party of progress or the party of permanence must depend upon the circumstances of our time." and to add to this, the fact that charles krauthammer, all the way back to edmund burke, has written about how tyrants, dictators, and radicals can tear down, in one day, institutions that took centuries to build up by compromise, convention, and prudence. less than a month from now, there is a clear choice. and we saw yesterday -- we all watched football this weekend. well, i had a wonderful time this weekend. sometimes things come at us so quickly that we're numbed by it. newspapers certainly numbed by it. people in tv that follow this every day numbed by it. everybody is numbed by it. but mark this weekend on your calendar. this is the weekend that donald trump spread the virus in the heads of all of his supporters, as did his family, as did

why she's out with kamala harris, you go back and read the conservative mind and you read what russell kirkries by compromise and consensus and prudence, you can tear them down in a day by radicals who don't respect the constitution. and kirk also said -- and this is so important in the conservative mind -- again, the most important, really since edmond burke in the rise in the revolution in france, he said we have to shun ideologies, we have to shun radicals, and it is up to conservatives to look at the world as it is, not as they hope it will be. >> yeah. >> and then decide whether they have to join forces with the party of permanence or the party of progress. and that decision is based on who will best protect the constitution, who will best protect institutions that protect the people. and, mika, most importantly, who will protect in a custom and convention, the constitution and the things that matter the most in the strengthening of the country. >> absolutely. senior advisor of the harris/walz campaign, ian sams, thank you so much. >>> joining us now democratic senator amy klobuchar. y
