PETE HEGSETH (CO-HOST): This is Thanksgiving, this is something I've always -- those are food banks too, by the way. A reminder that there is a lot of need right now as well. As our economy has been shut down, people's livelihoods have been crushed, and they are in need. So getting together with family to share that moment becomes all that more important. You alluded to it, Will. Mandates crush your soul, they crush your spirit, they bring you down, and something as simple as air flight becomes a complicated endeavor. But to see millions of people going to the airport is a heartening thing. I've spent a lot of time at the airport over the last nine months, I've flown a ton. Those safety procedures are in place. I personally like the short security lines because there's nobody there. But to see all of these people back is heartening and, you know, the health experts can say what they want, but these are people being responsible, making a choice to go see their family which I think is heartening, Jed.
