0:00.0	We start today with another chaos element. In fact, thrown into the 2024 Republican primary
0:22.6	race, the mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez, a Republican announced this morning that he
0:29.1	is running for president. He's challenging, of course, Donald Trump, the presumptive
0:33.0	front runner in that 2024 Republican race, but also Florida governor, Ron DeSantis. Suarez,
0:40.5	if we say that Trump is a Floridian now, which I guess he is, you know, he famously changed
0:45.2	his residency to Florida. Suarez becomes the third current or former Florida elected
0:52.0	official Floridian elected official. I think better said to enter the race. And this is
0:57.8	going to be interesting for a couple of different reasons. One is that Suarez is Hispanic.
1:04.2	And there is increasingly a focus on Hispanic voters, the right talking about Hispanic voters
1:10.2	as sort of like, don't assume that they're just going to vote for Democrats, which is true.
1:16.9	As I talked about before, although Hispanic voters lean left significantly, not quite
1:22.7	as much as black Americans and Jewish Americans, but Hispanic Americans do lean left Cubans
1:27.9	and Venezuelans are often the exempt exception to that. And we are talking about Florida.
1:33.3	So could this be maybe a path for Suarez to gain some traction in the state of Florida
1:38.7	specifically? That's number one. Number two, there is, I think a good argument to be
1:46.0	made that Suarez is more of a moderate. He has some corruption issues. But on a number
1:52.3	of different policy areas, he's a little more of a moderate sort of like a technocrat
1:56.8	has expressed support for cryptocurrencies and the like. So I'm as curious as anybody
2:01.6	else to see if and how this impacts the race. Let's listen to him this morning on Good Morning
2:06.2	America. Oh no, the clip glitching badly. I'm confident I'm going to get it fixed for
2:13.7	us though. Let's take a listen here. Good morning, George. I just want to be with you
2:17.6	in Good Morning America. Why are you running for president? Morning for president because
