when we had a huge surge in our state, and we implemented mask mandates when the cdc said, and it went right down. we started to open up, and he banned mask mandates, and the surge happened again. it's almost like you can watch the surge of hospitalizations to the things that the governor has done. i got along with him at the beginning because i think at the very beginning of this, he was trying to do what anyone in office would do, what do i need to protect people? at some point, i think it's when trump saw how this was a political opportunity, he made it a political opportunity. since then, we've been trying to help residents not with his help, but in spite of his efforts. it's a sorry statement. >> listen, i have to ask you about something that happened there while i have you. ask you about the five miami beach police officers who were charged with battery over a july 26th arrest.
