Welcome to the Conversations That Matter podcast. I'm your host, John Harris, for a trail talk edition.

Might be a little bumpy. I'm walking on a snowmobile path here. It was a lot worse earlier.

I was like in waist deep and some of these drifts. But it's our first warm day. One of our first warm days here in New York and everyone's stir crazy.

So we're getting out.

It's 40 degrees and it's time. It's time to anticipate spring. Oh, here we go. Here's a drift right here.

So I thought it was a good time to do a trail talk though. So you can see what it looks like here in the mountains. In late winter. It's nice. It's's peaceful although i do hear a few snowmobiles out there because it's a holiday and uh i thought we'd we'd talk about america right one of our favorite topics here on the conversations that matter podcast we'll talk about some encouraging news, I think. I see some real leadership.

Some real leadership coming from the administration. And I want to highlight it. I watched Marco Rubio's

speech in Munich, our Secretary of State. And there's a few things I might have said differently, but overall, what a contrast.

What a good speech.

And I also saw an ad that was going around social media from Rupert Lowe, I think is his name.

And it's called Restore Britain, at least the organization is. The ad is for Restore Britain. And he had a similar, it's more specified to

Great Britain, but he had a similar message to Marker Rubio. And both of them were Clarion calls to Great Britain, but he had a similar message to Marco Rubio.

And both of them were clarion calls to remember who we are.

Marker Rubio's speech was much broader because he's talking about European civilization in general.

But Rupert Lau's talk was very specifically focused on Anglo identity.

And both of them mentioned Christianity in positive terms.

So I want to focus on four or five things that I pulled out of their speeches.

The first is that the root of our problems are mostly a failure to live up

to noble codes from our heritage. They're very virtue-focused. Hard work, responsibility,

effort, duty, stewardship. This is the England I know, and this is the England that I love.

On a farm, you don't think in election cycles or headlines or polling.

You think in seasons.
