I think the week is a day.

Any day of the week is a day that ends in Y. But, you know, look, I think for me, we came to Florida and I was continuing to serve.

In my view, I was continuing to serve this nation by helping get veterans elected as principled actors, working with a group that helped usher in the political careers of veterans that have sworn the same oath I have done.

to defend the Constitution of the United States against enemies, foreign and domestic, and act as principled leaders.

And I think about in military terms, in the army terms, rather, we talk about this acronym leadership.

There's an acronym for everything.

Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, personal courage as a measuring stick for your actions.

So that was one way I was serving.

Another way is I finished up a doctorate in international affairs from Johns Hopkins, wrote a second New York Times bestseller, lectured around the country to try to

take a different approach with regards to the way we conduct ourselves around the world to secure the United States.

But watching things unfold in Florida, it was a personal decision.

My dad lives 10 minutes down the road.

I'm paying for half of his rent in order for him to afford to be able to live there.

Too many folks in Florida are struggling with the same decisions.

My daughter, three years from now, she's going to make a decision about whether she wants to stay in Florida or move on.

I want her to pick Florida.

Same thing that too many families are struggling with, with young folks that are making the decision to move somewhere else because it's too expensive.

The opportunities don't exist there.

No labels.
