I mean, you know, it is...
He's in a position where, you know, there is kind of Republican control at this point where they can actually push things through the legislature there.
But I think, you know, he's been pretty bold in terms of saying basically the Save America Act was already implemented in Florida now like that has been passed.
And, you know, there's a lot of other things that he's fundamentally changed the laws in Florida and the policies in, you know, and I think it's probably one of the more attractive places to live now if you're a Republican or if you're a conservative, because it's just like he's really made a lot of changes that would be, you know, things the left would hate and the right would really like.
So I do think the public persona is important, but I'm, I'm with Kyle that I think what I really want is someone who's going to get things done.
Yeah.
The results are what matter.
Kyle, you mentioned ActBlue.
There's a story about ActBlue's lawyers apparently sounded the alarm on a lot of these foreign contributions, so they clearly knew about these things happening.
And for anyone who might not understand, you know, foreigners aren't allowed to contribute to our political candidates.
And so that's money laundering at a minimum, but it's also breaking all kinds of campaign finance laws and things.
And there's so much data out there.
It's kind of obvious that what's been happening and that it's been happening at a large scale and that they do a lot to hide it.
They break it up into what they call smurfing, where they just take someone's identity and
and they make a contribution in their name and it might be five dollars or twenty dollars or some small thing that they're thinking okay nobody's going to notice that but they'll do it 100 times over the course of a year or two and they'll also do that with thousands of other people and so they take this massive contribution from an illegitimate source some foreign country and they'll say okay we'll you'll take this you know 10 million dollars and we'll break it into little pieces and we'll just pump it all through act blue and now it'll look legit
And the data is all out there.
It's not even that hard to verify.
I did that with my own mother.
I talked about that once before that I looked at the records because they're all public records.
And I saw that she had records of contributing to things all over the country.
