I had an opportunity during the last democratic convention to introduce her at this forum around the care economy. And she has been just a, just a bulwark on that issue and on new industrial policy and fighting for democracy and a woman's right to bow your tummy, all the things. So huge fan of the governors.
And she is one of the best narrators of the challenges and the opportunities that we have in the party. But that being said, she was caught in an awkward spot. And I think that she was caught in an awkward spot because there wasn't clarity on goal, mission, and what you're fighting for. And we need that clarity always. Now,

So I'm going to thread that a little differently, Tim, right? So there's no doubt that I have always been a kind of a partisan warrior. And I'm somebody who thinks, like Mike Tyson, that you have to get the first punch off and that changes everything inside of the ring. So I would agree with you on that. And I don't think that there's this binary thing between...

you know, being the party that lays out an art store for the future versus like fighting the proximate fight that we have in front of us right now. You need to be able to do everything everywhere all at once. You have to do everything except for play pasta, never play pasta that you can't do. Okay. But, Let me just say something in defense of government policy. You know what, Tim?

There's nothing wrong with us being caught listening for once. We haven't been caught listening. That was a big problem. We weren't caught listening on immigration. We weren't caught listening on cost of living. We weren't caught listening on a number of issues that people care profoundly about. We weren't caught listening on the housing crisis.

the middle class family have been faced with for many, many years now. So being caught listening is a good thing, but you kind of have to mobilize the lessons in a hurry.

So I do think that this is a moment for not to just be oppositional, but to be definitional about where we're trying to take the country forward. Is that right, though? Let me just challenge that for a second.
