I think leading up to this year, I was just sad that I had to do it because I love this country so much. And the sadness is really born from the fact that my mom and my grandparents, they already fled communism in Cuba. They lost everything they ever worked for.

And so being raised to love this country so much and to understand how blessed I was to have the American dream at my fingertips if I so chose to reach out and grab it. Even though my mom came here with no money, penniless refugee, right? But I knew that opportunity existed in America.

To know that and then to see the country turn towards something so dark, so close to what stole Cuba from my family and everything they ever worked for, you know, it made me sad to see that people could sort of lose perspective about how lucky we are to be in this country. However, over the last year,

However, over the last year,

I really sort of became inspired because I realized that America, when we're down and out, when things just seem like there's no hope. And I knew a lot of people who were like, there's no hope left. We're resigned to being taken over by this leftist blob and they're going to rule over us for 60 years. And that's just that.

And hopefully you can keep your own family safe and mitigate all of the damage from it. I realized that every time in history- Yeah, when we reach that point, exceptional people step up out of nowhere and they do hard things.

And I think that sometimes it takes having your back against the wall to realize how lucky you are to say, you know, I'm going to stand up for this because I want my kids to be as lucky as I was. And so at this point, I'm heartened and I feel inspired. And I think hopefully the mission over the next few years will be shifted to one where it says, hey, we can never get complacent.

We all need to be eagle-eyed about all of this and redouble our efforts to have a sane country to reawaken the American dream. Because if we don't, we could fall right back into what we just escaped.

Oh, absolutely. It should be a required reading in schools. My kids have read it. In fact, I would say something that is sort of a no-brainer is we should have kids memorize, if they're going to memorize anything in school, and I'm not a huge fan of memorization, but have them memorize the Constitution, know your rights, know what the amendments are. I mean, very simple civics things.

I think we should be teaching kids so that when they become adults and they come of age to vote, they actually know what the heck is going on. Because in most cases, a lot of them are just simply uninformed.

And that's why you saw them for so long voting in a way that was diametrically opposed to what was actually good for them, because they just simply were not informed about the things that mattered to the foundational values of the country and how it all plays together, right? And so,
