And as Christians, that is how we are called to lead. And admittedly, I struggle with the grace portion. It's hard for me to sometimes put myself in another person's shoes, especially on a topic so simple like this one.

I love this question because it gives me the opportunity to address something that I don't believe we've said. The war on woke, let it be known, the war on woke has not been won, okay? We are certainly making strides. We are making, of course, taking those steps in the right direction. And now we have the ability finally to make lasting change.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg, what we are uncovering and what we are unraveling. So to answer your question, um, and it's important that we don't become complacent. That's why the other side, I think of in my adult life, right? 12 of the past 16 years, uh, leading up to January 20th has been under democratic leadership. The other side, they, they are relentless. They do not roll over.

They do not allow themselves to be steamrolled. That's how they have acquired every inch of the public square. And honestly, it's pretty admirable. I'll, I'll say it. I All that to say, there's still more work to be done. Number one, that's kind of at the forefront of my mind right now pertaining to this issue in particular.

With President Trump signing this executive order, number one, it does not absolve states from passing legislation. That's crucial. And number two, realizing that this executive order, in four years, God forbid, someone like... AOC or Andy Beshear or whoever else the Democrats put up.

But I believe, truthfully, President Trump has a bad advisor in this because he's been quick to applaud the NCAA.
