00:00Now, I was doing a little bit of research and going back to some history books before I crossed to you.
00:05And that name, the Gulf of Mexico, has been on world maps since, I think, 1550, which is really going back a very long way.
00:14And of course, as you say, the Sunshine State becoming the first state to officially recognize it at a local state level.
00:21I mean, do you think people there in Florida have felt very strongly about this for some time?
00:25Well, I'm not really sure about that, but I certainly think that President Trump has felt very, very surely about naming it the Gulf of America.
00:34And quite honestly, it surrounds our southern states.
00:38So it makes perfect sense.
00:39It is symbolic, but at the same time, when you federalize it and when when Florida passed it, it changes all the school textbooks.
00:47It changes the signs. It changes the maps.
00:50Even Google Maps, which is a big authoritative here in the U.S., it is certainly, you know, it's now reflected on Google Maps.
00:59So, you know, these are the symbolisms of when there's an America first policy being taken place.
01:07And it's going to be these details that is going to drive us forward, that we're going to be an American agenda, American first policies surrounding America.
01:17And I think that's what President Trump wants to do.
01:19Again, highly symbolic, doesn't really change the way we live here, but it is a little bit of patriotism.
