You know -- he knows when that wouldn't be lighthearted and it would tell when he when he came to Washington to number thanks in Washington one of the things he does it work for Jack Kemp.

Yes.

Then I would Jack Kemp was enormous influence on him there's no doubt about it and I recognize that in our first campaign.

Where Jack had come into -- swollen and help stumped for Paul.

He pulled me aside in and said look here your Brothers can make a difference in this world.

And he was so sincere and and I could tell that there was.

A unique bond.

A -- ship and it's been really warm seeing some -- -- some account children coming out and actually making comments.

A little bit of their father that they see in palm now and that's very touching for us.

-- you think your brother's going to be able to peel off some Democrats may get some independents and undecideds said here in the -- -- and as we know as the -- In 2008 -- Obama took the state.

I have no doubt about it.

-- what we're sort of microcosm of of of Wisconsin here in this district and Obama won here.

Gore won here in this district and both of those times Paul also won over 60%.

And he's he's certainly type of individual that's very appealing I think to.

That swing voter that independents who who wants a reformer who can can can make her own mind.

He can tell how proud of the community as we weather for him politically or not -- mean we're -- weren't here in the the high school and Jim just -- you -- that's what he didn't go right that's right.

He -- fast you know he didn't he matured.

Quicker than than than most I think teachers.

And you could see it.

As he as he developed he embraced college and high school very differently than maybe normal kids did.

And he saw him accelerated -- -- in his development anyway -- -- -- I think your father died when he was in high school there's there's there's no doubt that that was.

Very important moment for him for me for for for all of us but.
