No, so we're waiting for Randi to get a copy of her book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers.

And I'm gonna wait for the T up here, but for our listeners, oh, there it is, perfect.

So I don't want you to bury the lead here by any means, and I want folks to read the whole piece of work, and mine is incoming as we speak.

I'm curious if you can walk us through

some of the key points in the book.

And specifically, people see what's happening with the Department of Education.

They see what's happening just in terms of support for public education from this administration.

It seems like it's weakening.

Is this a one-way door?

Can we go back?

Randy, you know, just enlistment in Utah.

No, no, no.

For our audience here, we're talking to Randi Weingarten, who I'd like to introduce as one of the most influential people in America for all the right reasons.

She's a dear friend, colleague.

And Randi, we're talking about her book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers.

Please order it.

Go to your favorite local bookshop.

Randy, you know, one thing of many things I admire about you and the ways in which we got to know each other is you're not afraid to speak up.

And especially when others are afraid to speak up for what's right.

And obviously you and I have had a chance to do a lot of, I think, fantastic work together on health advocacy, health information.
