1 小时 31 分钟So you 're running for governor of Iowa, and we can get into the whole politics of that maybe later,
but I'm interested in why.
You know, I think the primary catalyst for me doing this was,
I believe we are losing our culture and our heritages of people.
That's my honest belief.
And I believe it's not just in Iowa, it's across the country.
But when I'd look around and see people that were running for office, it was all about policy.
It was all about, here's this tax rate or this regulation needs to be changed.
And I just thought, no one is standing up to say we have to get the culture right first.
We have to step in and say, what does it mean to be an American?
What does it mean to be an Iowan?
And are the traditions and the heritage and the value of our ancestors important to us?
And that's in the deepest part of my heart what motivates me in something like this.
I actually don't want to be a politician.
I bet.
I've not had interest in it.
You know, I spent a lot of my life in the private sector and building schools and I have a pretty good life.
I have a great family and a wife who loves me and supports me.
But, you know, and.
You know, 1850, my family came over from Germany and great-great-grandpa built our farmhouse.
