| 0:00.0 | Thank you so much. |
| 0:11.9 | All right. |
| 0:14.7 | I got to ask you for so my agent in radio is here, |
| 0:18.3 | and he's way more than my agent at this point, |
| 0:20.1 | and he is a resident of Florida, |
| 0:22.6 | and he hasn't shut up about your CNBC interview the other day. |
| 0:26.9 | And just your economic message for the country, when you and I have talked to radio, I do have to tell you, |
| 0:32.6 | I've laughed afterwards each time when I ask you about the economy in Florida. |
