I don't think they're going to get rid of the entire agency. But again, you don't have to to make the kinds of changes that are being discussed.

Look, I mean, I don't think these are new arguments. The question gets into, well, how do you change it? And the biggest thing in politics that people don't want to touch, you will not hear, whether it's Trump, I don't care who the politician is, no one's going to say, You know, Pat, your kids aren't doing well. You're not getting it done as a parent. How much phone time you letting them have?

How much do you make your kid read every night? Well, I got to work. I got to do this. No, I understand. But, you know, it's on you. Your kid is a reflection of your efforts. You're not going to hear anybody say that. You're not going to hear anybody say that. Why? Because you're not voting for me now.

If you don't raise your kids right, it doesn't matter what school they're going to.
