You go within a 200 mile radius of where I'm sitting right now, you travel that area, you've traveled the entire cross section of the entire country. So in some deep sense, it is a representation of America and who we are. And what I think, Charlie, and here's where I'm going to lead us, and this is why I think I require, in my calling, to be the next governor.

If Silicon Valley led the way in the American economy for the last 10 years, I want to make sure it is actually the Ohio River Valley for the next 10 years. And that's not hyperbole. It's not going to be rubber production next time around, probably, but it'll be the sectors of the future.

Semiconductor production, nuclear energy, biotech, Bitcoin, defense industrial base, using AI not to take jobs, but to make jobs, which is something I think we can do through workforce training and education. So it's a modern day Northwest ordinance. That's the way I look at it. And I'm glad to see people around the state. And we have- I mean, people haven't heard of this in a governor's campaign.

I was honored, Charlie, to see. I was shocked, actually. We had thousands of people turning out in my statewide tour in a gubernatorial primary where the election's over a year and a half out. There's an enthusiasm for bringing back not the Rust Belt, but what I'll call the Platinum Belt. And I bear that responsibility, and I think we're going to get that job done.

Look, I think there's been a traditional fear in Ohio that governing like a conservative state will somehow lose us elections. You go back to 2000, very close state, swing state. Ohio used to be a swing state in the presidential elections. It's not quite right now. So I think the fear amongst Republicans in Ohio is that governing like a conservative state might lose us those close elections.

I view it the other way around, Charlie. That's not going to lose us elections. It's going to win us elections because it'll lift up more people from poverty. It'll put more money in people's pockets and revive that sense of civic pride in our young people.

And the fact that Ohio was a state that had some trouble along the way, and I don't want to go into the particular politics of blaming individuals, but let's think about boys competing in girls' sports. Let's think about preventing genital mutilation and chemical castration in kids.

The fact that some of the leadership of the state had trouble, conservative leadership of the state might have had trouble with those issues, I think shows us playing a little bit behind the ball compared to states like Texas and Florida that are governed like conservative states. But I'm not worried about the past. I want to actually chase the future. We're going to win elections decisively.

Think about opportunities in the next few years. Not a lot of people are aware of this, but say Section 287G. What is that? That allows local law enforcement to help ICE with mass deportations, with actually going after illegal immigration in our country.

President Trump is going to drive his agenda forward, but to really see it through, we're going to need strong governors who are aligned with that agenda to act accordingly. And I think that in our population, the way it is now, look at the margins President Trump's won by. And actually, he's won this state by bigger margins than even people running down ballot of him.
