Right? To that point, to California, what they did in California to deal with what we're seeing here, where they said, we're just going to cap rates, we now see that does not work because the carriers will just leave. That's right. They'll just be like, I'm not writing it. That's right. And you can't force them to write insurance. At that point, it's not insurance.
At that point, it's basically a public subsidy. That's right. And our state in particular – It's state FEMA at that point. Yeah. You just invented state FEMA on the taxpayer. And to be clear, the state of Florida kind of already has that. It's called Citizens. Citizens Insurance – the Citizens Insurance Company is a state-run insurance company. The one issue with Citizens is –

The way it's run, you're supposed to be able to be moved out of the citizens population if you can find a comparable insurance rate. But it has to be dollar for dollar, which just doesn't exist. So the citizens population, which is the insurer of last resort, just continues to rise.

I think when Governor Scott was governor, I think we got the population and citizens down to, I mean, don't quote me, around 600,000. It's rising again. I don't know if it's over a million now, but that's because you had a couple storms come through. Premiums are going up. Carriers are leaving, et cetera. This is the most complex problem we have by far.

Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, the first thing is that... I mean, obviously, RFKJ is not a Democrat anymore, but I just personally like watching them on damn crime. I'll be honest with you. I personally enjoy it, especially when you got, you know, Massachusetts going at each other. What I what I really see in that clip was I hadn't seen this until just now. The Democrats are in a bad, bad place.

They don't really know what to do. And so for RFKJ, it's not really about his views. It's the fact that he left their team. And she's more mad about that than anything else. Because his views have been this way the entire time. He's not changed. He's just now coming in for President Trump. And so that's why she's acting the way she's acting.

And that's one of the biggest problems on the Hill is that it's not so much about the policy. It's about which team brings it. And that sets the vitriol, if you will. But she's lost it again. But Elizabeth Warren, and is she smart? Yes. But she's also diabolical. She has been wrong on so many things in this country, specifically financial policy in this country. She has been wrong. And

I'm glad that her vote is not going to decide the fate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Because I think he's going to do a good job at HHS. He's going to do a good job getting to the core health issues that we need to get to in this country. I mean, this is what the American people voted for. Rob, which one is this here, Rob?

It's just not funny and sad. Time out. Go ahead. First of all, you know, my family, they're not all Republicans. Some of them were like, we don't know what you do when I first started. Now they're like, okay, this is Byron. This is who he is. Right. But on a family level, man, you're not supposed to do that. You're just not supposed to do that. That's disrespectful of your family.

And I know, like, I guess the sister came out against him, has been coming out against him. Man, if you're my family, you could be doing, unless you're breaking the law, I'm not going to be going out doing stuff like that to you, even if I don't agree with you because you're family. We can have the political discussion all day long. But that's just disrespectful.
