And where's the justice system on this?

This is what we come back to.

And so, yes, as governor, I've already said very, very openly, I plan to sue the federal government every chance I get.

And just to be very clear, I actually think Donald Trump would like that.

You know, the Chevron Doctrine was overturned, saying that, like, that if Congress didn't specifically put a regulation in place that states we can sue now if regulators have made up their own rules, which they've made up millions and probably billions of pages of these rules.

But we have got to get back to the point where we're looking to say, how are we going to liberate ourselves from exactly what you're talking about?

The first step I would do...

But this also just goes back to why I'm not running for Congress.

It's like, I agree with what you're saying about we need to go deep into our state, we need to have good governors who are willing to stand up and just put it all on the line.

I've had people already ask me, Sean, not that... You know, people just ask these questions.

Are you thinking about doing anything bigger than this?

No, I'm not.

I don't want to do anything different than this.

Matter of fact, this isn't something I woke up in the morning and said, I'd really like to go do this and put my family through all this.

What I said was, if I don't do this, if I don't bring this up, if I don't put my own money into this and say to these donors, I don't want your funds, how much longer is the state that I love, that I grew up in, that my family, like, helped to pioneer, how much longer is that going to even be recognizable to me?

Not very long.

But I believe that with the right governor... Here's the thing.

We have things we could change in the state of Iowa that a governor could change right now to make some of the hot button issues that the voters are talking about, like, go away or get much better.

And even on the Republican side, we're not doing it.

I mean, there's been great advancements and, you know, we've passed school choice legislation, we've lowered taxes and all these things, but what I often say to people is like, this is not about taxes or regulations.
