And I thought it was my good looks have live coverage from out there -- plots.
Over 101000 emails the man -- holds the all time record.
For a response from viewers from Fox News and fox business and a guy just brought down -- -- a few minutes ago here in Tampa governor Scott Walker.
The wanting the bugs me about the governor he's much younger than I -- And I resented that -- -- look at the elite I would -- -- zero governor very good -- very good having to sit.
You know I remember governor covering that and at the time going into that weekend if you were to believe the official -- they would dead he did and you were that artist dear life and they were.
Unions were -- money and outside interests I think death.
Even environmental groups were -- money -- anything to get you out of office staffs get bailed you won comfortably.
And now you're a big star here how many that happened -- well.
You know we got to -- that I said if you repeat the truth over and over and over had a Mississippi repeated enough and so like a broken record.

I think it's it's very sick in particular swing voters I think what we there was stress.
Not just internal report pretty -- it -- our election.
Is a good better for us to do with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and an -- that put reforms in the.
Why would you have done and I really -- ticket that was assembled turning what not only your election a couple of years ago which was a socket Wisconsin right.
Say that now might be a flight takes the full -- -- I think really nice to what you've done.
-- But it was very unusual because you prove that there could be an appetite for addressing spending ahead on.
Even if it meant going after some sacred cows and that embolden other governors Democrats included Andrew Cuomo would New York for example.
Bomb the jury's still out as to whether it's gonna work nationally for these other guys what would you tell them -- -- -- their backbone gets a little safety.
Why should the Bessie get do is go out and talk to people.
The best thing that's saving you talked about those numbers -- and Madison if I'd stayed in the -- in our state capital I would have been beaten down.
I don't know I would have backed down but I would have felt like -- what is ideal would Madison well -- -- -- very liberal -- governor -- thirty years ago called -- about thirty square miles.
Surrounded by reality.
Lot of truth that logic to want to believe it.
But what I did was after the first week.
To protest I would around the state I went around Wisconsin I heard from hardworking people hardworking taxpayers.
In factories and farms small businesses.
And those -- the people -- to be up not political -- not Republican activities but literally out to factories and farms and small businesses.
People come up to be right off the line it's a governor reprieve for you and your family can either you do the right thing and that's the thing that other governor should do.
I've but I remember askew went for -- got elected and then during the song recalling well.
When it was tough on you personally did they say it's a horrible -- values you're you're sons are heading off to college and it's pretty soon.
They heard it all to their classmates -- -- all.
That -- -- beating down.
-- -- -- It really was it harder provide -- -- just for react -- -- and I've got eight kids have you know someone in college.
What and high schools and -- your -- terrorists have a greater -- last year public high schools.
They went right to school Wallace -- railways -- he -- to -- your wife if they're very Smart barricaded their reluctance they really take after my what.
But but that's but the reality was it as different as you might think -- -- we have what we we're last November there were thousand people busted in front of my home.
Protesting not my governor's residence but my home -- my family so limiting got a little weird did they get ugly they went out -- A Special Olympics event in protest today filed my son my mother who lives with us.
At a grocery store in -- shouted you're being physically threatened but we death threats to Laura we also think.
But again -- I found -- for every person like that.
There were nine or ten fold who would reach out to us citizen -- come -- events come up to be matures and say we're range -- -- and that's what's his statements are really different.
They get I think -- still other governors of their policies did try to take on.
The entitlements would have you governors.
The FSA the held within the I mean is it -- told the -- I mean you don't get a lot of pay for this job no I didn't get a lot of Greek for the job.
-- but you know I was asked at different in my last December Citi ever wonder if you had gone so far fewer -- recall.
-- anyways and ask you from a Smart Alec simply just was genuinely acquisitive.
And I said you know that's a great question -- but it had gone that far wouldn't sixty.
And I said I don't plan on losing I'm not -- lose I'm gonna run a recall there is one and I would have when the -- But I'm not afraid to lose into many politicians in Washington and particular state -- are afraid of losing that's why wouldn't draw born.
We need more Americans -- running for office we're not afraid to lose if they're doing the right thing.
You know we saw you a couple of people governor -- yet to go but after hearing your -- some of those things will indeed make a great presidents.
Mitt -- that's a great present I'm open for years from now they've got could give his nomination speech for reelection.
Do you ever look at that office.
-- -- honest again I love being governor.
It's detect when people -- USB others asked -- after the election.
Repeatedly if that Romney asked about the BP what what I say it's it's pretty hard to turn down the nominee I said what I would say what I said repeatedly -- be called than.
And he'd ever did you think we asked some asked for advice and campaign I said I'd say over and over get the best staffer was just -- -- is all right you did and it's okay I've never that distinct repeatedly played that it did live later on I'd like the guys the only guy but I think a lot of the aren't people happy about it that say about we result Paul Ryan that their radios you but anyway -- -- he does it because for being the reason not to gauge the reason -- could be golf rested after all this.
The -- blunt instrument now it's my two kids is too much at stake.
-- -- not to be engaged.
That's why look campaign permit and what I love about the -- -- selection.
Is not what it says about Paul -- -- Friday's break this is just an exceptional human being at a decent even big but more importantly what it says not describe.
Because we knew we had the experience in the private sector daily lives as governor but when I think the Paul -- -- do us all.
Not just Republicans but voters in general was.
This guy that Romney's got the courage and the passion to -- cents.
Saying it's not just starting K all right -- saying -- -- the governor's.
