I think part of it is you have to deal with the... I'm going to get a little technical for a moment. It's not just about 95. It's about how you get on and off 95. It's all of the interchanges and the local roads and the state roads and the interstate. I know right now we have a tri-rail and bright line that run up and down the coast. What also runs on those lines is commercial freight.
So people will see it. There'll be the super long CSX trail cars that take forever because when the arms drop, it just takes forever to get there. So I think one of the ways what you do there is you try to move those lines through the center of the state. So you alleviate traffic here that alleviates congestion from people having to stop to wait for the train to pass.

So then traffic moves more smoothly. It's finishing a bunch of the road construction in Miami-Dade, just like in Orlando, just like in Tampa or in Jacksonville. I think what we want to do, and I think the governor is starting some of it now, is expand the bonding capacity for the Florida Department of Transportation to move projects in a 10-year window up. to get them completed faster.

And then working with local governments, counties, cities, metropolitan planning organizations, we call them MPOs in the state, working with them to figure out the little projects that really can go a long way. And in the last piece, and I think the engineering has come a long way, I'm hearing rumblings that people are starting to think about, is it possible to really do tunnels In Florida.

And, you know, you have to look at the engineering on that. I want to get to ahead of myself. But I think on that one, does the engineering make sense? Does the cost savings make sense? And if you can do that, you can actually alleviate a lot of traffic, even make the place more desirable.

Well, actually, I realized I was a conservative in 08 and I was doing and I'm from Brooklyn, New York. So, you know, my family were all registered Democrats. So I did what most people do when you register to vote, you register as a Democrat. That's what I did. And in 08, you know, when the financial collapse was happening, I was doing research for my company.

And I realized through my research and really starting to understand politics that I was actually very conservative. I didn't vote for Barack Obama in 08. I didn't agree with him. Even though I was a Democrat, I voted for John McCain. I didn't agree with Barack Obama when it came to economic policy and health care. I disagreed. And I was proven right. History has proven that I'm right.

I said it to my mom. Right. That was a... That was an interesting conversation. She was not happy, man. My mom was like, what are you doing? And I understand why. I think for my mom, and really for the country, I think it was a signal and a culmination that America, in spite of our past, has come to a point where a black man can be president of the United States.
