Look, I don't think efficiency is a partisan issue. It shouldn't be. It's not a Democrat or a Republican point. And so I think you could imagine red states that need to be run better. I don't think there are that many blue states that are run efficiently, but in principle there could be.

Look, I think efficiency is just something that every citizen of a state, every taxpayer in a state should want. Right now, Texas and Florida, Dan, are the top two states that people move into. And I think that's one good metric of the success of a state, how many are moving in versus out. Right now, I think Ohio is around number 38.

So what I want to do by the end of this is I want Ohio to be at the top of that list. And I think a big part of that is allowing people to keep what they earn. Florida, Texas, and six other states like them are zero-income tax states. I'd like to take Ohio to become a zero-income tax state.

I think that's equally just about putting more money in people's pockets as it is making sure that government runs as efficiently as possible. And the beautiful thing is that also takes aim at then the over-regulation of the private sector. It shouldn't take 18 or 36 months to build a new natural gas pipeline.

For example, in Ohio, a state that has great natural gas underneath the ground, that should be six months or less. So I believe every man-made problem has a man-made solution. I love, I absolutely love and fully support what President Trump and Elon are doing, and I think it's important to be aggressive. Take it on bureaucracy.

There's a reason why many Republican presidents even have talked about it but never actually have seen it happen. So I love what they're doing. I'm going to bring my... unique style and approach to applying that to Ohio. I think about that less as what are we cutting and what are we actually bringing. What we're bringing back is the American dream. That's what we're bringing back.

What we're bringing back is a meritocracy. What we're bringing back is a place where any young kid can achieve the maximum of its potential and make as much money or achieve as much success in any domain as he wants to without apologizing for it by playing by the rules without the government getting in the way. That's what we're shooting for.
