Hi again, everyone. It's 5 o'clock in the East, and we are back with Maryland Governor Westmore.

Governor, thank you for bearing with us while we worked out the technical gremlins.

You're familiar with those?

No worries. No worries at all. Thank you for having me.

I wanted to ask you about the opportunity before Democrats. As people's economic situation,

they report, causes them a great deal of anxiety. Less than 30% of Americans approve of the job

Donald Trump is doing on the economy. And Donald Trump's corruption and eagerness to take taxpayer money,

taxpayer dollars that people feel stretched to begin with,

to build ballrooms and arches,

now to pay out his political allies.

What is the opportunity right now for Democrats?

Well, I think the opportunity is to show

that we actually care about what's happening

in the homes of the people of our jurisdictions. You know, it's like, you know, that we actually care about what's happening in the homes of the people of our jurisdictions.

You know, it's like, you know, we have a president who's spending his time focusing on ballrooms and bombs and Bitcoin.

You know, ballrooms that none of us are going to be invited into, you know, bombs to fight wars that none of us asked for us to be fighting, these foreign wars, and Bitcoin,

that frankly none of us can even explain what that is. The only thing we know is that the,

you know, the Trump family are sitting on the boards of these companies and are making millions

of dollars on it. You know, that the thing that we're focusing on, if you look at what we're doing

in the state of Maryland, we've actually now provided $300 million in relief, for utility relief for families because we're watching these energy prices rise.

That what we've done in our state is we're actually making sure we're streamlining housing

so we can bring the prices of housing down.
