It's going to be Baskin Robbins.

And as I said, if I decide to do this, I'm going to be Rocky Road.

That's the flavor I'm going to go with, brother.

The only thing I can offer you is I've learned from my mistakes.

And hopefully, like John F. Kennedy learned from the Bay of Pigs and he applied it to the Cuban Missiles.

I've learned from my mistakes.

I've made them.

Look, I'm very proud of the record I've built on education.

Very proud of what we did in Chicago.

I made a mistake cornering the teachers union early when I pulled the last year of Rich Daly's contract with the teachers, 4%.

And I made Karen Lewis, who was then the president of the teachers union, put her back in the wall.

We would have our disagreements, but I made it existential for her.

And it made everything we were trying to do much more difficult.

I own that.

When we had the second contract, they worked a year without a contract, which is unusual because Karen and I were trying to solve the pension and we did.

Second is on all the other contracts I did with the other labor unions across the city.

I know everything.

About four weeks before you would commence, I would ask the president to come in and say, give me your five priorities for this contract.

Know when you come in, I'm going to give you five from me.

I want you to take those five.
