I think that signals the mandate to say that people are behind the conservative pro-American agenda. Now, my job as the governor of this state is to explain it to people. Frankly, I think there's a lot of independents, libertarians, orphaned Reagan Democrats, other orphaned Democrats, politically homeless people here who may not have thought of themselves as that Republican coalition quite yet.

But if you explain it to them, if you actually show up, if you don't go through the traditional media filters, but just show up in person. I mean, we're drawing thousands of people. Great, I'll use that to our advantage to go to all 88 counties and explain it without filters in between. I want a big tent coalition where a lot of those former Democrats and current independents come along with us.

And if they don't want to call themselves Republicans right now, I'm fine with that. But I want to create a governing coalition that doesn't compromise on those core principles. That's actually going to make us even more successful in winning, I hope, in a landslide next year in the general.

And that's what I'm shooting for, is not just running for the Republican primary, but to win a general election that brings the majority of the rest of this state along as well.

I love it. And you're all over this, Charlie. So on the AI data center piece, you're right. It's an opportunity. One thing that we just have to do is bring down the permitting timeline for new power plants and new natural gas pipelines to make sure that we're not only ready, we're ready to be the leadership position of the country. And that's achievable.

But the other piece of this, as you really put your finger on this, is a lot of people have focused on training the AI algorithms. Of course, we've put hundreds of billions, really trillions of dollars into that enterprise.

Beyond just training the AI, I think the underappreciated opportunity is training workers on how to use that AI to apply it to their respective fields, to their hospitals, to nurses, to financial services, to construction design, to really every domain where we're increasing the productivity of the worker.

And that shifts the conversation and it shifts the focus from is AI going to take jobs to just say, actually, AI is going to make jobs that didn't exist. That's not going to happen automatically. I think it's going to have leaders who have to shape that future.

If you're just a price taker on the future, you might have a result from AI in your economy that doesn't look good for American workers or manufacturers. But if you have a leader who's focused on training and making sure we're empowering our workers to use that AI, this is going to be a boom for our workers. It's going to increase wages.

And I think we need a leader who at least understand what that future looks like and I hope shows the rest of the country, sets an Ohio standard of how we actually do this well.
