Summary
We stand at a challenging time where differences of opinions are blurring how we should interact, even when we disagree.
We need to find ways to come together. Your fellow humans, no matter where you are — are not the enemy. They might have different ideas. That doesn’t mean they are evil or undeserving of our respect. We all have the power to be passionate about our principles and policies without being nasty.
In this episode, Arnold shares his thoughts for ways where we can play a different game and find the middle ground, even when we disagree.

| 0:50.4 | When I told him we should create a governor's council on physical fitness like the president's council on physical |

| 1:24.0 | Pete helped me by having his team work with me to write an initiative, |
| 1:29.0 | Prop 49 that passed overwhelmingly and provided the funding our students need. |
| 1:36.4 | And then when I went on the Tonight Show to announce I was running in the recall against |
| 1:42.1 | Gray Davis. |
| 1:43.5 | Even though I didn't tell a single person |
