I don't know everything.

And I don't spend my time trying to learn everything.

What I spend my time doing is trying to surround myself with people who do know stuff.

I know how to legislate.

I know how to build relationships and I hire people to bring knowledge into the game that I can put to practice.

For two different things.

The fact still remains that when Mandame won the primary, I endorsed his election, thereby saying, are you going to endorse him?

I made it very clear.

And quite frankly, he made a phone call to me and did thank me for my endorsement.

And that's why you have primaries.

Well, I'll just ask you this.

I've worked with Cuomo when he was secretary of HUD.

When he was secretary of HUD,

South Carolina was one of the few states in the state that got an empowerment zone, $10 million a year for 10 years.

That's just one of the things that I got from him.

Alvin Brown, who became mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, and is still in my orbit, was on his staff, had worked for Vice President Gore.

Alvin Brown is a native of Beaufort, South Carolina.

I've known him pretty much all of his life.

So I'm supposed to throw away all these relationships for somebody I never saw before, never heard of before.

And they said, I should be supporting this person I know nothing about against this person I've been working with for 40 years.
