And, you know, the most basic step to the point of what we're talking about today starts with prosecuting the obvious waste, fraud and abuse that belongs.

The dollars that are being built belong in the pockets of actual law abiding Ohioans.

And that's what I'm going to deliver.

Well, look, I'd encourage you to take a look at the Ohio primary results tonight or tomorrow morning, Ben, and tell your audience about it when they're out.

I'm actually really curious as well, because if you look at the person who's running against me in this race, it's a guy who put up a YouTube video saying that he was worried that AI was not highlighting enough of the good qualities of Hitler.

He claims that I can't be the governor of Ohio because I'm an Indian, not an American, despite the fact that I'm born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and I'm raising my kids in Ohio.

It's an embodiment of what the Twitter lab creates in the real world.

And it's frankly disappointing.

A lot of the policies sound socialist, just like my other opponent in the Democrat race is also a socialist opponent I'm going to face.

And so I oppose that form of grievance-driven policy.

Identitarian socialism, whether it emerges on the left,

against, for example, in the candidate who I'm running against in the general election or whether it emerges on the so-called right.

And I can't even call it the right because it's not really conservative at all.

But the so-called right, which is what my primary election has been defined by.

So to your question about what impact is this going to have on the politics of the future?

I think that's where my primary will be will be pretty telling to be able to say, OK, I told you, you know, historically, the Republican front runner, the person who wins the primary gets between 35 and 50 percent of the vote in competitive Republican primaries in Ohio.

You know, let's see how I do.

And I think that that will be a leading indicator of where the future direction of the actual voter base is for the Republican Party, which may or may not be.

I think it probably is going to be very different from the loudest voices you hear on some, you know, sick corner of the internet.

So we'll see.
