I think there's real challenges about restoring faith in America by the American people that is broken and having an election where we start taking care of the future.

I think we have spent 12 plus years in some nostalgic, dreamlike way of trying to restore a past that's not coming back and was not good to all Americans.

It was good to you and I, not all Americans.

I actually think, yeah, I don't mean to cut you off, but there's parts of the past I agree, but not in some kind of nostalgic sense, but in the sense that it's updated for, that is a guiding post and a guiding principle for the future.

I'm talking about what I should have probably been clear, but some element of some kind of black and white Ozzie and Harriet life that didn't really truly exist when we think it did.

And it's not about the future.

We need something that is not about you and me, but about your kids and my kids.

Ozzie and Harriet plus robots.

In a rare moment.

Well...

So the answer is an ambivalent yes and no in this sense.

I'm, I mean, I said it when I came back, I don't want to, but this point was stop talking about bathroom access and start talking about classroom excellence.

50% of our kids cannot read at grade level.

And you are arguing about a bathroom and a locker room access when you should be focused on how do we improve reading scores.

And that's why I went to, I don't know if you know this, but I went to Mississippi because they have this miracle, the first national leader to go down.

I said, okay, the science of reading and all the other type of parts of that should be the national model.

The answer is right there.

You just got to have the courage to take it.

Yeah, what is the miracle there?

They turned their education system around?
