Joining me by phone, the governor of the great state of Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis.

Governor, thanks very much for doing this. I know you are about to run out all over across the nation, and so spending some time with me. I appreciate it. Let me just ask you out of the gate. Why yesterday start very non-traditionally, not a stage with a bunch of people behind you and before you,
