I was able to become governor and senator because this is a great country. So, so what Trump's doing is similar to what we were able to do in Florida. I was governor from 2011, 2019. We cut taxes over 100 times [in Florida]. We got rid of about 20% of the regulations in the state. And guess what happened to our economy? It skyrocketed. I tried to get everybody to not come to Texas, to come to Florida. (15:18–15:21)
