I certainly hope that no Democrat would talk about doing that. I mean, as a rule, this is mostly one of those 80-20 issues. James Carville said last summer, or I think it was maybe a few years ago, that sometimes Democrats sound like they're talking at the Harvard faculty lounge and not like a real person in the real world on the streets of any town USA.

I think where Trump does stuff like, you know, put George Washington back on an elementary, you know, military base or something like that, there is general support for it. I think when he does something like eliminate, you know, recognizing the Tuskegee Airmen at the Pentagon, I think sometimes people will say, hey, it's a little too far and this is like small and petty.

And so I think generally speaking, though, look, Sean said it is a huge issue in the election. The country kind of voted pretty overwhelmingly on this front. I think he enjoys broad support. And look, I don't know how much you remember. I think it was a year and a half ago or two years ago. The San Francisco school board, several members were voted out in a in a like recall election.

Because the people of San Francisco, parents who lived in downtown, were upset that the school board meetings during COVID were focused on renaming the schools in these kind of DEI neutral names and not reopening the schools for their kids to go back to.

And so the history of Democrats focusing on issues that aren't important to the average American per se is part of what has got us in the hole that we've dug. And so to get out, I think we are best to focus on real issues that impact the real lives of real Americans and not go back to trying to relitigate DEI.

Yeah, I think that look, I think most Americans, I think, do applaud efforts to diversify like a workforce to have to include different people in decision making. Like I think companies, you know, and there's a lot of research that you do get better outcomes if you have, you know, different aspects, different slices of America at the table.

I think where there's real objection is on the E, the equity, the idea that you're going to specify 30 percent has to be X and 30 percent has to be Y, not who's most qualified, not who is the best for that position. And I think that's where the party kind of just really lost control of this issue. I think if we just say we're proud of having a diverse country, we're proud to try to include people.
