00:02:44.000The bigger debate is whether we should continue to fund a country that consistently undermines our interests, pushes laws in our country that are antithetical to what our founders set in motion, and then ultimately punishes our own citizens.
00:03:03.440There was a 16-year-old boy from Melbourne, Florida, not too far from where I grew up, down in Broward.
00:10:52.660So I'll give you an example. Let's just do an actual apples to oranges. A church has an Apostles' Creed reading on a giant speakerphone twice a day, five times a day, and there's a mosque that has a Muslim call to prayer five times a day. That's a direct comparison.
00:11:13.100Right. Objectively, church bells have a melody to them. They are pleasant to the ears. An Islamic call to prayer, I'm not saying is unpleasant, but it is not of the same frequency, quite literally, it is not of the same intonation as musical bells.
00:11:33.040Yeah. Right. I think we can, we can do this in a way that's actually principled and respect the fact that, look, as Christians, what we want more than anything is we want to bring people to Christ. I don't think we bring people to Christ by deliberately ostracizing or othering our friends of other faiths. We want to bring them over.
00:11:56.460we want to bring them over to our faith. I don't think that happens through, and it's not that
00:12:02.940it's ridicule, but I think it could be perceived that way. I want nothing more than to bring
00:12:07.400people over. Is that going to be vinegar? Is that going to be honey? My grandmother said it was
00:12:11.360always honey. Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.

00:13:20.980i hear you and i appreciate your position um for me i think of the kings in israel under the old
00:13:31.060covenant and there was something substantial and significant and good and right about saying no
00:13:38.860we're not going to carve out space to the asherah poles or the balls we're going to to say you you
00:13:47.540can't erect high places to foreign gods i i believe in a very real tangible sense
00:13:53.360that america is currently underneath god's judgments you know we say god bless america
00:13:59.700but america has long neglected to bless god we um are not the christian people that we once were
00:14:08.060we don't have fidelity to christ as we once did and freedom of religion i understand that many
00:14:15.280people are i'll say it is as politely as i can i under the impression that um that this is a
00:14:23.820founding principle although i struggle to see how the founding fathers could have even possibly
00:14:29.480conceived of that provision being used as a way that it is today i don't i don't think the
00:14:36.100founding fathers could have even conceived of millions and millions of other people with
00:14:41.980other religions here in America. So I understand the instinct of saying, well, this is uniquely
00:14:49.140American and it's who we are. But at the same time, I look at the scripture and there are clear
00:14:58.900judgments for idolatry. And there actually is such a thing as national judgment. Certainly we each in
00:15:06.740the eternal sense, the ultimate judgment, the final judgment, we stand before God as individuals.
00:15:12.320We won't be able to point to our nation or to our parents or to some group identity to somehow
00:15:17.540either indict ourselves or exonerate ourselves. It'll be you and Christ alone. Did you trust in
00:15:24.240him? Did you love him? Did you serve him? Those will be the questions. And God's final judgment
00:15:29.860is on an individual basis, but there is in biblical terms in this temporal realm, something
00:15:35.180to be said for corporate judgments even national judgments and when i look at the bible and i think
00:15:41.040about you know what are the particular sins that nations found themselves under god's judgment for
00:15:48.080um one of them was idolatry and i i don't think that you have to be inhumane i don't think that
00:15:55.060you need to be cruel i'm not saying that um that people need to be disrespected or that they need
00:16:01.660to be undignified that you know um but i but i do think that there there is it's a it's a dangerous
00:16:10.420line that we're walking i agree exercising hospitality trying to catch more flies with
00:16:16.400vinegar doing the work of an evangelist being loving to our neighbors and trying to win them
00:16:22.820over compel them with the love of christ all those things are good and right but it's such
00:16:28.600a fine line between doing the work of an evangelist who wins people over to the sweetness
00:16:34.400of the gospel, and yet at the same time, on the other side of the road, there's another
00:16:39.700ditch of tolerating and even exemplifying and esteeming idolatry.
00:16:47.620And I look at this and I think, what would God have us do as a nation?
00:16:58.080and i've tried because i don't think the civil magistrate just for the record i i'm a christian
00:17:02.900nationalist i don't believe in forced conversions i don't believe because god alone converts the
00:17:07.660heart this is you know it's not just coerced outward manifestations it has to be a true work
00:17:12.820of the holy spirit and so i'm not saying that the state should ever be involved in such matters
00:17:17.400but there is a difference between sin and the state doesn't actually punish sin it punishes
00:17:23.480crimes. Not all crimes are sin when the state is acting unjustly and labeling something as a crime
00:17:29.940that's not actually immoral, but then certainly in the other direction, not all sins are crime.
00:17:35.680So for instance, the 10th commandment, thou shalt not covet. I don't want the state to form the
00:17:41.960coveting police. I don't want thought crimes, right? I don't want that. I don't think that
00:17:47.820that's biblical. So there are certain sins like coveting that in the final judgment,
00:17:52.900God will hold each individual accountable.
00:17:55.680In a way that the civil magistrate can't.
00:17:57.300Right, in a way that can't and also shouldn't.
00:18:00.960It would actually be unjust and immoral.
00:18:03.820But one of the differentiating factors, I think,
00:18:07.160between these categories of sins and crimes
00:18:10.140is the publicity, the public nature, right?
00:18:15.500So something like drunkenness, for instance.
00:18:19.580If someone gets drunk in their home privately,
00:18:22.200I believe, as a Christian minister, that that's a sin. If somebody is publicly intoxicated and
00:18:29.320they're shouting curse words, then they actually can be penalized. It breaches that boundary from
00:18:41.420sin to crime. And when I think about the worship of false gods, it's hard for me, James, to get
00:18:49.380around it like how how can i ask god to bless our nation while also not just tolerating but actually
00:18:57.600as a nation priding ourselves on how accommodating we are to public forms of idolatry like what would
00:19:07.920you i know that's a difficult thing you're running to be a politician a state governor i'm putting
00:19:13.020you in a hard place right now but you're also a christian how how do you i'm just curious how do
00:19:18.620you thread that needle well i think it's all it's all downstream of immigration actually yes right
00:19:24.660so this didn't just come about it didn't spawn in the middle of florida yeah it's not a bunch
00:19:29.700of heritage americans were just decided to run over to islam to hinduism or whatever the case is
00:19:35.160this is all a consequence of migration so let's get to not to sound trite but let's get to the
00:19:40.680root cause if the root cause is importing all these people from the indian subcontinent and
00:19:46.200then we're frustrated by everything that comes as a result of that. Why try to regulate all of the
00:19:51.380downstream derivatives and why not just actually get to the source of it, which would be unfettered
00:19:58.840migration from the third world? Two things. Blasphemy laws were actually upheld in the early
00:20:08.040days of the country in the first 50, 60 years, as consistent with the first amendment. There's
00:20:13.520fascinating readings at the federal and appellate level, different decisions that came about because
00:20:18.620they recognized at the time that the First Amendment protected political speech. It didn't
00:20:23.400necessarily protect blasphemous speech against our Lord. It's a fascinating argument. There are
00:20:28.780good arguments on both sides of it, actually, because what is political speech and where does
00:20:33.360it become religious blasphemy? And that becomes difficult. But if we're just going to be straight
00:20:40.160about this. The first amendment as currently interpreted by every single justice on the
00:20:47.240Supreme court would side against you with your view. Yeah, I know. Right. Where they would not
00:20:52.420side against you. In fact, where six out of three would side with you, six out of the six to three
00:20:57.180would side with you is allowing us to restrict the migration that imports the very things that you
00:21:06.380feel are anathema to the United States of America and our Christian founding. You know, why, you
00:21:13.040know, we can sit here and there's all of this in the house. Let's get to the root cause of how it
00:21:17.860got here. And by the way, if we're serious about evangelization, about evangelism, let's send
00:21:25.680missionaries as the Catholic church has done now, has a presence in every single country in the
00:21:31.520world. Let's have missionaries evangelize in these different parts of the world. We don't
00:21:37.040need to import the third world to come here and then evangelize. And so it is a fascinating debate.
00:21:42.680I think the bigger argument though, is if we are serious about reasserting our Christian identity,
00:21:52.940we have to recognize that large parts of the Republican party are in direct contradiction
00:21:59.560of that. Yes. Direct contradiction. We talked earlier in our conversation about divorce and
00:22:06.340we talked about my opponent very clearly now unequivocally living in an open state of adultery
00:22:11.940with his first, with his now second wife, but against his first wife. And I think the state
00:22:17.420has a moral responsibility to deter that behavior, to punish that behavior, to discourage that
00:22:23.060behavior. And the best way to do that is if you are a man and you are caught cheating, if you're
00:22:28.800a woman and you're caught cheating and you're married. End of story. You are forced to give
00:22:33.260up everything. You have that happen about half a dozen times and it'll get national, perhaps even
00:22:38.160international news coverage. One, you're going to see cheating and adultery end as we know it,
00:22:46.860as we know it. But also you're going to see the covenant that is marriage.
00:22:53.440people really start to think that it's not a transaction right it's actually a covenant
00:23:00.580and the lord is party to that covenant and that's something that should be more of the
00:23:07.540conversation in politics that this is not a covenant between a man and a woman it's a
00:23:11.680covenant between a man a woman and the lord right i also think that if we want to get back to a
00:23:20.200that venerates the sanctity of marriage, we have to be willing to dispossess in their entirety
00:23:27.280any man or woman caught in a state of adultery, full stop, all financial assets, home, cash,
00:23:35.300and strip them of their custody. Make examples out of them. What you'll see, the cheating will stop,
00:23:42.140the adultery will stop, divorce will be really rethought entirely, but also people will enter
00:23:47.600marriage, knowing full well what the consequences of their actions are. And that's what I think
00:23:55.140society, American politics, if you could synthesize it to just a few issues, one of those issues is
00:24:02.360that our actions are so disconnected from the consequences, right? You kill someone in 1992,
00:24:10.100you'll be put to death in 2026. So disconnected. You send men to die overseas. They'll never be
00:24:19.060the men of a senator. Never be the daughters of a congressman. They'll die overseas. There's
00:24:25.080total disconnection. There's no skin in the game. And that is a real problem. That's why we keep
00:24:31.220getting these disastrous consequences. If Congress, if you said, all right, we're going to send some
00:24:36.800people to war. And if it was anyone under the age of 40, who was a son or daughter of a congressman
00:24:43.500was going to get drafted as well, there'd be very few authorizations to send people to war.
00:24:48.560We are so disconnected as a society, as a political operation from the consequences
00:24:55.420of our actions. And what I think I bring to the governor's mansion is a business background where
00:25:04.160I was responsible for my actions. If my company did well, I got paid more. If it did poorly,
00:25:10.140I got paid nothing. I had to hire people. I had to let people go. I had to give up my own pay for
00:25:15.940six months at one point to make sure that my employees were taken care of. No member of
00:25:20.260Congress has ever had to deal with that. In fact, when we shut down government, when the Republicans
00:25:24.600and Democrats shut down government, our own service members don't get paid, but members of
00:25:29.640congress still get their full pay they are immune to any consequences for their disastrous actions
00:25:36.620yep well said so going back for a moment with religion would what do you think all right so
00:25:46.980taking aside some of the things that you and i we just we would see different paths different
00:25:53.180solutions um we would just have some disagreements but when i think of judaism specifically um
00:26:03.420right i don't really hear anybody saying you know um islamic christian you know or
00:26:11.980hindu christian you know but we do hear judeo-christian would you would you at least
00:26:18.780admit on the religious question uh that some degree of if we talk about in a spirit of fairness
00:26:27.240which i would you know push back to that as i already have but even if we you know assume that
00:26:32.540for a moment for the sake of argument um would you agree that it seems like there is more than
00:26:39.000just fairness or equality but but a clear like public and political preference given to judaism
00:26:46.440above any other religion except for maybe christianity in these united states probably
00:26:54.560unequivocally what do you think about that just even the term judeo-christian well i don't it
00:27:01.160doesn't make any sense actually just yeah it doesn't it's just a historical uh you know
00:27:06.480someone says that by the way the term first emerged in the mid-20th century if this was a
00:27:10.660term that was used in the 1790s perhaps we could entertain it but none of our founding fathers were
00:27:15.920Jew. I mean, it's just, it's just what it is. And it's like, why is it that just telling the truth
00:27:21.420that none of our, I had this, there was a, I was doing a fundraiser in Palm beach at the Ritz
00:27:26.140Carlton and one of the residents had us. And there were about a dozen geriatric patients in the lobby
00:27:32.880who were protesting me. And they said, why do you say, why are you against the term Judeo-Christian?
00:27:39.240I said, because none of our founding fathers were Jewish. How dare you? How dare I what? I'm telling
00:27:44.260you the truth. The founding fathers of Saudi Arabia were Muslim. The founding fathers of
00:27:52.240this country were Christian. It is just the truth. It's not hateful. It's not antipathy.
00:27:57.960It's just the truth. And so why is everything, why is the knee-jerk reaction to everything
00:28:04.800anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism, anti-Semitism? The next time somebody says this is a Judeo-Christian
00:28:11.260country, ask them, how is it a Judeo-Christian country? And this is not to slander Jews. This
00:28:22.140is just very simply historical observation. What exactly makes America a Judeo-Christian
00:28:29.020country? What? There's actually more Muslims than Jews in the country. There's more Muslims
00:28:35.060than Jews in the country, right off the bat. It's not an Islamo-Christian country.
00:28:41.260Although in say what you want about Islam, Islam holds our Lord in higher regard than Judaism does.
00:28:46.940Yeah. Every, every major world religion does.
00:28:50.020So, but, but it's fascinating because we've gotten to a point in the political discourse where simply stating facts is, and that sounds trite, but it's, it's especially true on this point.
00:29:01.300Our founding fathers weren't Jewish. Oh my gosh, do you hate Jews? No, no. I'm just telling you our founding fathers weren't Jewish. That's all I'm saying.
00:29:08.240And, you know, it's funny because I've had a lot of Jewish folks in Florida reach out to me and say,
00:29:14.040you know, we're supporting you because our identity is not tied to Israel.
00:29:19.120I know a lot of Jews who feel that their identity is tied to Israel,
00:29:21.960who hold dual citizenship, or at the very least hold a dual allegiance.
00:29:26.460I don't know why that would be anti-Semitic to say that they hold a dual allegiance.
00:29:30.360We're taught in Matthew chapter 6 that we can only serve one master.
00:33:08.660Let's compare them to Israel in the present day.
00:33:12.300The same IDF that carries out attacks in Tehran against the Mullahs in Qatar against Hamas there, look at how they minimize collateral damage there.
00:33:25.720And it's actually quite interesting that, you know, the same Israel apologists, they'll say, well, they're not, the civilian damage, it's all hyped up fake numbers from Hamas.
00:33:43.220And then five seconds later, they'll tell you that everybody in Gaza hates Israel and wants to kill every single Jew in the world, right?
00:33:49.620So they're also rationalizing the civilian deaths.
00:33:53.620They're rationalizing the civilian deaths.
00:33:55.200Now, if you look at some of that video after October 7th in Gaza, there clearly is some hatred of Israelis and hatred of Jews amongst parts of the population in Gaza.
00:34:10.300That's undeniable by some of that video.
00:34:13.700It also begs the case that a four-year-old does not have a political position on Israel.
00:34:18.000A five-year-old does not have a political position on Israel.
00:34:20.180And when Randy Fine comes out and says, starve away with respect to Gaza, that is not American of him. That is not Christian of him. This is a Christian country. We should not tolerate any of our elected officials talking about any innocent life anywhere in the world like that.
00:34:36.640Yeah. Yes. What, what power would you actually have intangible, intangible categories as governor of Florida as it regards Israel? Is there anything that, is there anything that you would be able to do in order to save taxpayer money or what kind of authority would you have?
00:34:58.860really three things. The first of which is the most bizarre, which is as we sit here today,
00:35:07.720Tallahassee, our state capital is lending $385 million to the Israeli government by virtue of
00:35:14.060buying Israeli government bonds on the open market. We are lending money from our pension fund
00:35:19.460to the IDF. They could buy fart coin and it might have a better return.
00:35:26.020they could buy treasuries and they have a much better risk adjusted return.
00:35:29.660Let's zoom out for a moment. Let's not make it about Israel. Let's zoom out for a second.
00:35:33.420Our money should not be lent to any foreign country, period. Can we agree on that? Because
00:35:38.360I think everybody, whether your position on Israel is this or that, anyone can agree on first
00:35:43.740principle that our money should not be lent to any foreign government, period. Israel, Turkey,
00:35:50.780Sweden, Australia, doesn't matter. So what I would do is I would fully divest. When you say
00:35:57.160divest, it's not some bilateral agreement that was negotiated with Netanyahu. We literally own
00:36:02.380a third of a billion dollars of Israeli bonds. We have to sell them on the open market. I'll do it
00:36:08.040myself. I was a sovereign bond trader at a hedge fund for years. I'll log onto the Bloomberg
00:36:11.540terminal myself and sell them. That's fine. It sends a very powerful signal, by the way, that
00:36:15.900we're not going to be investing in foreign countries, least of all that foreign country.
00:36:20.480The second thing I'd do is I'd repeal and refuse to enforce the anti-Semitism law in Florida.
00:36:27.620Now, look, Jew hatred is wrong. Muslim hatred is wrong. Christian hatred is wrong. All forms
00:36:34.920of religious hatred are wrong. But as anti-Semitism is defined today in Florida State Statute 10105,
00:36:42.300you can actually be punished for criticizing the israeli state in the name of stopping
00:36:49.780anti-semitism yeah and you would also be punished from my understanding even if they chose to press
00:36:57.080charges for quoting scripture verbatim you mean revelation well i think of not the synagogue of
00:37:04.620satan not the synagogue of satan uh that one probably too but um first thessalonians it talks
00:37:10.820about that they killed the prophets and the apostles and the lord jesus christ and have become
00:37:18.560opponents of all mankind speaking of the jews in a particular region at that time this is
00:37:25.160saint paul writing um so he's literally i mean the text is the jews at that time
00:37:31.480have killed the prophets and the apostles and the lord jesus christ and have now become enemies
00:37:36.740some translations say were opponents of all mankind um if i said that and i'm in florida
00:37:45.820i could i could be street preaching you know public air preaching and be preaching a you know
00:37:52.900a sermon from first thessalonians and that's literally my text and and just reading that
00:37:59.160and my understanding correct me if i'm wrong but under the current laws i could be penalized you
00:38:05.260goodby for quoting scripture correct i i don't understand ron de santos has been great in so
00:38:10.820many ways i don't want to be disrespectful to him um he's he's set kind of the gold standard
00:38:15.880for governors in the united states i mean he was great on covid he was great on a host of issues
00:38:21.160um at the same time correct me if i'm wrong but he's catholic right yeah why is he passing
00:38:28.240legislation that goes against the quoting of the Bible? I wish I knew the answer to that.
00:38:38.580What I do know is that the governor is a good man and I'm not going to judge him by his mistakes.
00:38:43.740I'll judge him by his successes. The truth is that the political situation in Florida is bizarre.
00:38:50.120Republicans and Democrats universally are on the same page about the antisemitism law.
00:38:56.100I'm not enforcing any law that violates the constitution. That law plainly, simply violates
00:39:04.400the first amendment of the United States constitution. It's not even close. And this
00:39:08.060is playing out in real time, Joel. Last month, a woman was confronted by armed police at her home
00:39:16.680in Miami beach. And they showed her on the whole thing's on video, a Facebook post where she was
00:39:22.260criticizing the mayor of Miami Beach for being pro-Israel. The police banged on her door to
00:39:29.600confront her over a so-called anti-Semitic Facebook post. This is not a theory. This is not,
00:39:39.880well, you're just concerned. This is not actually how it's playing out. This is exactly how it's
00:39:44.460playing out on the ground. That's unacceptable. You know, just zoom out for a sec, historical
00:39:50.360observation time. If our founding fathers knew of a man who sent armed police to confront a woman
00:39:58.440for criticizing the government, they would have executed him publicly. I'm not calling for a
00:40:04.840public execution, the mayor of Miami Beach. I'm merely observing the historical record of this
00:40:09.720country that we recognized that men who did crimes like that needed to be tarred and feathered.
00:40:16.920there's no room for anyone in this country
00:40:44.400for the longest time fringe part of the left weaponized the hate speech idea and said you
00:40:55.000can't talk about this you can't bring up race stats you can't be insensitive whatever and now
00:41:00.660it's the fringes of the right that are increasingly institutionalized and backed by really big money
00:41:05.220in apac well that's that's my concern like just you know to interrupt for just a moment um i despise
00:41:11.540the left on every moral issue. I've always been a GOP voter, although I've become incredibly
00:41:22.580disenchanted by the GOP. But one of the things that's not just disenchanting or disappointing,
00:41:28.600but it is quite terrifying, is I can conceive of a real possible outcome in the future,
00:41:37.700in the near future in my lifetime perhaps in as short as just a few years where it wouldn't
00:41:45.300actually be the left that uh that caused my children to be without a father because their
00:41:51.800dad is in jail but it would actually be the right and it would be on the basis of anti-semitism laws
00:41:58.520affecting speech like if that that's that that is a real reality where it feels like
00:42:05.960stuck between a rock and a hard place it's like i either vote for champions of abortion and gay
00:42:13.260marriage or also champions of abortion gay marriage let's you know let's not kid ourselves
00:42:18.440on the gop but but guys who are a little bit better on those issues at least you know some
00:42:23.540degree um but over here like it it really is concerning um the gop's devotion to israel
00:42:32.660to judaism um i like kamala harris will ruin the country in her own right but probably won't throw
00:42:42.300me in jail for my podcast no jd vance might like i what what is what is someone like me
00:42:53.520what team should i even be rooting for at this point like well if if you were me and you held
00:42:59.220some of the views that i do and i know that you don't there's there's there's things that we agree
00:43:03.080on on on israel as as a nation state um but you know there are obviously clear distinctions
00:43:10.540between us because i don't i don't want i don't want to hurt your chances of winning i like you
00:43:15.120and i support you even though we disagree on some things i want you know the public to to be fully
00:43:20.720aware that um i'm endorsing james fishbeck you're not necessarily endorsing joel weapon and um and
00:43:27.720that's clear but what would you do um if you were me like what horse would you be betting on who
00:43:35.520would you be wanting to win knowing that i have a book sitting on the dresser behind you the
00:43:41.300hyphenated heresy subtitle judeo-christianity i i actually view it as religious terms um judeo
00:43:49.480Christianity, I think is a heresy. In political terms, I think it's a weaponized rhetoric to make
00:43:55.300Americans tax slaves to a foreign interest. At every level, politically, religiously,
00:44:01.760I believe it's poison. I believe that these United States, we have Israel wrapped around
00:44:08.580our neck. I think it is a serious issue, quickly becoming one of the quintessential issues. I think
00:44:15.240of abortion i've always held that as serious issue but at this point it's getting close to
00:44:21.580immigration and israel being right up there with it and i think that's in large part that's why the
00:44:28.900right is beginning to fracture in many ways is because the traditional you know issues
00:44:35.140platform policies that we've all kind of agreed on are not really enough anymore because there
00:44:42.220are new rising threats and one of them is a threat to free speech so what would you do with guys like
00:44:49.060me and you know some of the guys that i represent you know the people that i speak for who are
00:44:54.680patriots they love our country you may not agree with everybody in my camp but you know that we
00:44:59.260we love the lord jesus christ and we love the united states of america we love our country
00:45:04.660we're not traitors we're not trying to sabotage american interest we genuinely believe that
00:45:11.700is just it's just at odds with um with america's prosperity america's benefit the good of america
00:45:23.020so what what do you think my camp and the guys that i speak for um what would you do if if you
00:45:31.300Ross. Would you be voting GOP? What do we do? I'd be voting in primaries and getting good
00:45:43.620America first patriots to run first and foremost. If we just vote the GOP in as is, we get what we
00:45:51.220deserve. And so the question then becomes, what are we actually going to do to push back against
00:46:02.260this? Because they've got money. We've got patriots. We've got the truth on our side.
00:46:06.140We've got history on our side. We've got our heritage on our side. What are we actually
00:46:09.200trying to do to advance our version, which is the true, correct, noble, and righteous version
00:46:15.020of our movement. But perhaps the bigger point too is
00:46:19.380we can't let this stand, right? If a woman gets arrested, a man gets arrested
00:46:31.200in the face of an anti-Semitism law for criticizing Israel, there should be a hundred
00:46:36.240patriots outside of the jail with AR-15s. Yeah. Full stop. Yeah. Full stop. It's tyranny.
00:46:44.440It's tyranny. And it'd be no different than someone grabbing somebody off the street and arresting them for whatever random crime without any semblance of due process. This violates the core of what our nation was built on, which is free expression and free speech.
00:47:05.220and anyone who in the name of upholding the law would break the law of the land,
00:47:11.520the United States constitution is utterly disqualified from holding office.
00:47:15.760Yeah. Well said. So I think you were going to list three things.
00:47:19.720Oh, right. So, so we did the first one of course was to divest, right? And what I've also said is
00:47:24.740that I would bring back the $385 million. I would also separately launch a $385 million
00:47:31.740statewide down payment assistance programs
00:47:34.020for young married couples to buy their first home.
00:47:37.180If we're going to invest money anywhere,
