So I was speaking to her recently, and, you know, these women fight, fight, fight and use that fight to drive them on, and, and I do wonder whether, you know, that does help their grief.
14:57
Yes, I think there's a cost benefit to all of these campaigns, and it is quite common that people who lose loved ones as a result of interpersonal violence or terrorist attacks or such incidents, they embark on a campaign for justice, and that's actually healthier than getting caught up in intense anger.
15:19
And in some cases with patients in Northern Ireland as a result of the conflict here, where they sit and ruminate and dwell about their loss, that anger then intensifies, and it becomes bitterness, and that bitterness can often lead to then, you know, a, a, um, a desire for vengeance, and that's a very unhealthy strategy for people to embark on, of course.
15:41
So the campaigns for justice are one way of people trying to deal with their loss.
15:45
Our patients who come to our clinics, we ask the question about how long does this campaign last for? Because in some cases, people sacrifice the rest of their lives in a pursuit of justice that's very difficult often to find.
15:59
And not only do they sacrifice their own lives, but they also then sacrifice the relationships with other people who are still around them.
16:06
So I suppose whilst I can understand it, and there's a wonderful sort of social value in people trying to right the wrongs that lead to these awful deaths, we would often caution people about trying to make a call about what they can do while still managing to keep their lives going and connect with the rest of society as well so that they're not utterly consumed by these campaigns for justice.

What he did was horrendous, but would you say that his diagnosis of PGD goes some way to explaining why he did what he did?
33:46
And how do you see that working?
33:49
So our firm, as well as many other financial firms, are starting to build internal groups like ours.
33:56
We have professionals that are very experienced in holding family meetings.
34:05
And within those family meetings, trying to pull out what's important to the parents, what are their expectations, trying to also let the next generation be heard.
34:17
And these meetings can be multi-generational where we could have sometimes three or four generations in the same room.
34:23
And this is a great time for parents and for these discussions to come out about the parents' legacy and what their hopes and wishes and fears are.
34:33
And that can be related to a number of different aspects of their lives in the state, including their collection, right? Right.
35:47
Is it working? I mean, do you see that happening? I mean, that makes my heart so happy to hear that that actually exists.
31:15
Um, do we have the ability to have maximum flexibility if this war in Iran continues, especially if the need to escalate arises?
31:23
arises?Well, listen, I think President Trump, Secretary Hegseth are leading when it comes to ensuring that we're rebuilding the military and revitalizing the defense industrial base.
31:33
Having a healthy defense industrial base can only help us when it comes to ensuring that we are prepared to defeat any adversary.
31:40
That's true, uh, in today's fight and tomorrow's fight.
31:43
And so this deal that we've rolled out is a great deal for America.
31:47
Uh, it's an opportunity for us to rebuild the military and create multiples of production on a combat-proven missile, the Tomahawk missile, that is sought after worldwide.
31:57
Uh, we've created 3,000 jobs in Tucson just for the Raytheon factory alone, let alone the entire supply chain.
34:09
The difference between undefinitized and definitized con- contracts, and the role that Congress is gonna play in appropriating all of this.
40:40
was just about to say, the last time it was getting the tie, still alive, bringing it back to Brandeburg, it's similar again this week.
40:47
It is, aye.
40:47
It's going to be tough out there.
40:48
Conditions and everything's going to be tough.
40:50
They're going to be a top side as well.
40:51
We haven't done much on them yet.
40:53
We'll start that now when we're back in.
41:48
Talking to Brando last week with the atmosphere, did something else get the momentum sort of changed when, shall we say, the CSK fans erupted?
70:46
[laughs]
70:46
... you know? Uh, but he would laugh and smile a- a- and- and he always enjoyed that.
70:51
Um, I swapped a little...
70:53
the little white hat that he wears, his zucchetto.
70:55
I brought him one as a gift and he gave me the one he was wearing to take home.
70:59
So we have this little connection here in Rockville Centre to him.
71:02
And I w- I would always say to him in- in broken, uh, Italian, "Holy Father, the people here at Rockville Centre, uh, send you their love and their affection." And every time, four or five t- different times, he'd say to me, "Father Duffy, please ask the people in Rockville Centre to pray for me." And so then as the pastor, I'd be able to come home and say in the cathedral, "Hey, folks, I have a personal direct request from the Pope to all of you to pray for him," uh, which was really a nice connection to have.
72:35
Uh, thought America capitalism... didn't really embrace the capitalism, right?
