And so, you know, and especially when summertime comes, the studies are clear, children fall behind after summer vacation, right? Because they're not reading every day in the summer. They're not doing math every day in the summer. And a lot of that really falls on top of who the parent is in that home.

You know, my mom, we were poor, but she made sure that I was doing work in the summertime to stay not just at grade level, above grade level. And so there's some other things I want to talk about. Not right now. We're still flushing out some of those ideas.

But it's about having an intentional focus on every specific child in our state so they have those tools to achieve proficiency in math and reading. Like when we measure our schools and measure our school system, we look at it from a grade level. Well, grade level is just a medium. That just means if you're at grade level, all that means is that you're better than the bottom 50% of your class.

That's how we measure it. What I'm talking about is proficiency, mastery in reading and math. If you have kids, no matter what your background is, being proficient in reading and math, it will not just supercharge the state of Florida. That gives you the great leaders you need for the future of America. And that's what this whole thing is about. And you're right.

That is the precious resource is the future potential of children in America. They are the precious resource. If they're highly educated and prepared for the world in front of them, man, they're going to make us look like a bunch of bums, Dan. I'm just telling you right now, we're going to be nothing compared to those kids.

I totally agree. I think the biggest thing from Donald Trump, and again, Dan, I'm so thankful to have his endorsement to run for governor. I didn't even mention it. I'm so excited to have his endorsement. It's huge. And early, too.

I'm thankful for his support. But what he taught our party is how to stand and fight. Let's be very clear. It was about how to stand and fight and deliver. You saw that with Governor DeSantis. You see it with J.D., with Vivek, myself, countless others who maybe they don't have as much shine on evening news and on social media.

But you now have an entire phalanx of Republican elected at the federal level, at the state level that nobody's really ever heard of. that they are now committed to the principles of common sense, of economic freedom, economic liberty, conservatism, but they are prepared to stand in the gap and fight for those principles and not be shy about what they believe. They're really undaunted.
