One of the things that I love is that some years after, say, into the 90s, I saw this purse. I said, yeah, I haven't seen that purse in a long time. So I took it off the shelf, and in it, say, maybe the beginning of the 2000s, there was a button that said, Deadheads for Dukakis. Yes. Like 20 years later, Deadheads for Chicago. Oh, I hope you save that. I just don't know where it is right now.

Oh, you've got to find it. That's really good. That's so retro, sort of. But when you think of it, it was a political statement. Of course, it was. How do you blow off steam? I do crossword puzzles. I have been doing them forever, and I find that my zone. You know, when I'm doing a puzzle and somebody comes up to me, I'm like, ah, you scared me. It was in my zone. So yeah, I do that.

I love any form of entertainment, live or movies or whatever.

And my husband, Paul, he loves every form of music. In any given week, we'll be with the Grateful Dead, Cyndi Lauper, or the symphony, the opera, or the ballet, you know, or the movies. Yeah, that's nice. Right. I think the arts, the reason I say that, I think the arts are going to be our salvation. You know that because you're a master of this. But this is one place where people come together and

Whatever their difference is, they enjoy a painting, a symphony, a movie, a play, whatever it is, and they forget their differences. Even for a short period of time, they realize they have some common ground. They've laughed together. They've cried together. They have been inspired together. And that's a start. Yeah, it is a start. And that's a start.

And it is really one source of hope to me are the arts. Yeah. Yes. President Lincoln, such an inspiration. Notice I mentioned a Republican president. Yes, I do.

He said public sentiment is everything. With it, you can accomplish almost anything. Without it, practically nothing. You mentioned the Affordable Care Act. It was such a triumph. Yes. And that was inside maneuvering, yes, but the outside mobilization, having all the people who wanted that to happen to be mobilizing.

In elections, the door-to-door and the technology reaching out to people, it's all about the outside. So any... legislation, any political goal that I set out for, is always about the outside mobilization. The VIPs, the volunteers in politics, the very important people are those people out there.

Well, I always say that... and this wasn't my initiation, but something that I worked with, is the fight against HIV and AIDS. When I first came to Congress, those were the first words I uttered on Congress. I know. Here to fight against HIV and AIDS.

And I thank them for their patriotism, because it was a harder fight. You know, it was a tough fight to do the Affordable Care Act, but In this case, we had to fight discrimination in addition to fighting for resources and the rest. Yes, of course. And you're never always teaching. You're always learning. And we learned a lot from the anti-HIV AIDS community about that outside mobilization.
