Factual nuance, right? Understanding a factual context to a situation. So that's definitely a problem. I think the long form podcast and things like this help because it gives people an opportunity to really, in Spanish, we'll say desatur, which means to explain something at depth in a way that people can understand that. I think the second part is, you know, Ken Griffin, when talking about Miami and people criticizing, for example, cost of living going up here, said, you know, we have what he called the problems of prosperity. And so what happens is when you, when you succeed, okay, when you succeed by all measurable metrics, we had the lowest unemployment in America, the highest median wage growth in America. We had almost the lowest homicide rate in history, 130 year history of the city. Right. So we were creating amazing outcomes. You know, lowest homeless rate in 11 years. When you do so well, you actually, believe it or not, open the door to the opposite argument. And what the argument is is this. They say, if you're not doing well, we have someone to blame. It's all these successful people. All these successful people are really your oppressors, and they have cheated their way to the top. Right? And there's only one way to fix this. It's through government. Government has to create greater equality, better outcomes for you. And it's a very easy argument to sell because if anyone's not fulfilling their potential or feeling like, man, no matter how hard I work, I can't. I can't make it. I can't pay my bills or whatever, there's an easy person to blame. They don't have to. They don't have to take responsibility. They don't have to say, well, maybe I should work harder or maybe I should have done this or that in my life to, to accomplish these goals. I can just blame somebody else. And then this entity, this third party, will just come in and fix it. And again, it's never worked. It's never going to work, but it's easy. And when you succeed, actually, what I've learned is when you succeed, you actually become very vulnerable to that argument, to that swing. And I think that's what happened in Miami. All right, Francis Suarez, former mayor of the city of Miami, thank you for being with us on the Fox News rundown. Thank you.
