Yeah. No, Byron and I served together in the Florida House and now in Congress. We have a good relationship.

Yeah, they offered me a stool. Did they? They did. And I was like, I'm not lying to the voter. Like, they're going to watch this in real time. Right. Because otherwise people would be like, wow, he grew.

So on the FEMA front, and I just want to I'm going to rage about this for a second here. Give it to me. OK, here's an issue, actually, that isn't getting a lot of play and isn't getting a lot of coverage. And that's usually what happens in emergency management. I did emergency management in the private sector for 10 years.

Then I became the emergency management director in Florida, did Hurricane Michael. I did all the COVID response. Right. I did that for a guy I didn't vote for around DeSantis who gave me that job. And so what would happen if FEMA were to disappear, okay, or FEMA would be cut in dramatic ways would be devastating. And it would be devastating more to red states than blue states, okay?

You know, Texas, Florida, and then you get into states that don't have that budget. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina. You get into states which have Tornado Alley, right? You get into states, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky with floods. Okay, I mean, these states would be absolutely devastated if Stafford Act money didn't go down to reimburse. They would go bankrupt.

They would have to raise taxes if they got a big event. And yeah, sure, Florida and Texas might be able to weather that a little more, not if they had a Harvey like Texas had. Or not if Florida had two storms in one season like we've had many times. So this would be the amount of devastation to the state budgets that would happen without FEMA. Now, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be reform.
