But for me, I think that the reason I'm doing it is if I was entering politics as a career, right, this was my way of collecting a paycheck and securing a comfortable life for my family, I wouldn't be doing any of that.

Of course, it's not exactly what a standard political playbook would tell you is the talking points you're supposed to bring to a campaign these days.

If it were, you'd see other Republicans doing it and they're not.

So that's the reality.

But I'm not in this for that reason.

I would rather...

I really am committed to winning this election, but if I had to choose, I would rather speak the truth and convey my beliefs and lose an election rather than to win by saying some fake canned talking point.

And I think we're gonna win by actually speaking the truth, but that's what I'm committed to.

My parents came to this country half a century ago with nothing to their name.

My dad worked for a five-figure salary at GE in Evandale, Ohio for almost his entire career.

My mom took care of nursing home patients and worked at the VA in Cincinnati as a psychiatrist.

They couldn't afford private schools.

I went to public schools through eighth grade.

They saved up.

I was able to go to Catholic private high school.

Now I've founded multi-billion dollar companies.

I mean, two different, one is Roivant.

It's a 20 plus billion dollar business listed on the NASDAQ.

Chapter is a multi-billion dollar, fast growing company, both of which I founded.

One I led as a CEO, several others as well.
