She's not worked on creating energy. She's not worked on making sure we had the water resources or the other infrastructure we need. You know, that stuff has got to be taken care of. Education. I mean, how come our NAEP scores keep going down, but we keep spending more money on education in Arizona? We need we need bang for the buck there.

And then I guess I guess ultimately the prototypical thing for her is she has vetoed more bills than ever. And here's one. The election integrity bill. But we want to know who wins our election on election evening, right?

Exactly. Exactly.

Exactly. Exactly.

Yeah, that's exactly right. And that's what our bill was modeled on Florida. I have to tell you, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania members of Congress tell me sometimes, they say, we're grateful for Arizona. First time I heard it, I said, why is that? And they said, because you make our elections look like they're run smoothly. You guys are a disaster. We're an embarrassment.

So these are things that we can take care of, Charlie, and we can do it the first week that I'm elected because I know how the place runs. I served in the state legislature. I know how that place runs. I worked with two different governors. I know how the executive branch works here in Arizona. I wrote budgets for the state.

Yeah, absolutely right. So I wrote many state budgets. And it's not hard if you actually get into it and dig. But we haven't had anybody that wants to do that. And that's what we've got to do. And if we do that, I think we're going to turn the state red again. We could turn it into the Florida West. Absolutely. In fact, I told Byron Donalds.

I called him up when he announced, and I had already announced, and I said, Byron, you know what's going to happen about 90 days after we're elected? And he said, no. And I said, you're going to see a couple of red dots leaving you. And he says, what's that? And I said, that's our taillights. Arizona's taillights as we go past you as the most conservative, productive state in the country.

Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, President Trump, I mean, he and I have a great relationship. I like to say, you know, it's one thing to have his endorsements, but it's another thing to, you know, have a personal relationship with a guy. I mean, we're talking about we've golfed together, we've dined together. For years you've had his back. Yes, that's right.

That's right. In fact, I got investigated for standing with him.

That's right. In fact, I got investigated for standing with him.

Well, there was no need to waver. He was in the right. And, I mean, the Ukraine thing was a disaster, that bogus impeachment over that phone call. I mean, Charlie, that was bogus. But our colleagues, a lot of our colleagues, they kind of fled him. But the reality is there were a lot of us there standing with him. And then the late Nancy Pelosi impeachment. And then the Mueller investigation.

And then the Mueller investigation.

I think it was one of the first ones. I think it was me and Louie Gohmert that stood up and said, Mueller is compromised. He should not be doing this. And we had our own party saying, we want to do this investigation. I'm like, that's bizarre. Now Mueller ended up not finding anything, which we knew he wouldn't.
