Governor, when it comes to the renaming of Palm Beach Airport, I just want to ask what your reasoning for that was. And are you at all concerned about the precedent of naming things for sitting presidents? Well, The legislature passed [the renaming of Palm Beach Airport] and he's a friend of mine. He's sitting president from Florida, the first one we've ever had from Florida. And so I thought it was appropriate. I know he's very excited about it and he's had a lot to do with Palm beach over the years as well, from Mar a Lago to some of the other facilities he's been involved with. (28:40–28:51)
