Next on this all call-in show today, let me try something that I don't know if it'll

work. It depends who's out there right at this moment. What's a big thing you've changed your mind on

during your lifetime if you're 80 years old or above and then we'll ask the same question

for people 40 years old or below.

We'll just take a few calls in each category so we can get to some of both.

Your 80s or above, if you're in your 80s or above, you go first.

Can you name one thing that you've changed your mind on during your lifetime?

212-433 W-N-YC, 212, 433-9-6-9-2. It can be something political,

for sure. Did you used to be more with one political party, but now you're more with the other?

Did you vote against Trump in 2016 or 2020, but vote for him this year?

It could be that specific in New York City alone.

Trump got 90,000 more votes than he did when he ran against Biden.

It could be the other way around, too.

First, you voted for Trump or any Republican in the past, but now he or that party has alienated you.

212-433-9-6-92.

Or since this is for people 80 and older, maybe you changed your mind on FDR or JFK or Nixon or

or whomever. Maybe as many people do, you became more conservative as you got

older. Or maybe as some people do, you relaxed as you got older and became more open-minded

as you see it and re-examine the positions you were brought up with or held as a young person

and became more politically liberal or progressive.
