In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“You have to tell the Americans why you got in. This has been a multi-decade issue with Iran, where Americans have been killed. We've had recent attacks, cyberattacks. Obviously they came out and said four to six weeks. That's been frustrating for me, and I think for a lot of Americans, because it set that table … We all know this is something we need to wrap up and finish with the conclusion we want. Wars are tricky, and they're never as quick as (leaders) want.”
“The popular answer is just abolish them — that's what some voters want to hear, but I don't think it's practical. I'm a big fan of states' rights and the free state of Florida. What they did with Senate Bill 484 is the best plan. Local governments get to decide. Local residents get to decide. They can decide if it's going to get a green light in their community or not.”
“Tax cuts are a big thing, and I think we've done a lot of that. But I'm a big (believer in) energy independence, if not energy dominance. Even with what we've seen in Iran, it is a lesser impact now because of our energy position. We had record crude. We had record LNG exporting last year. If you can get that long term, that's a generational change.”
