So let me finish the first question.
So do I think, as somebody also that said, you know, we weren't really good in 2024 when we talked about the kitchen table, the family room, the only room we did well was the bathroom, and it's the smallest room in the house.
Do I think that's dead?
I think people know that there was a consequence getting caught
in what I call a cultural cul-de-sac.
We declared and wanted to bring the cultural wars to our schools, and we lost that.
Do I think people are conscious of that?
I think they were aware, and I, somebody that in 2016 as mayor of Chicago signed bathroom access, but I never lost my focus on graduation rate, 3D scores, and math scores.
So we can be a culture, and we are as a party, rightfully, a culture of acceptance.
We became a culture of advocacy, and that's where we crossed the line.
As I like take the issue, I've said this before on boys playing in girls sport.
I'm not undermining title nine.
The reason we're winning in soccer worldwide, the reason we're winning in hockey worldwide, that we were winning in swimming worldwide is title nine.
I don't think the party should be in the business of undermining one of our great accomplishments as an example.
So I do think there's been some sense that that was a mistake.
Does it mean that everybody buys it?
Now, what Mississippi did, and I want to also repeat, they did this 20 years ago.
In Mississippi, they don't call it a miracle.
They call it the marathon.
