In 1996, a Republican governor in South Carolina tried to take the flag down. He was voted out.

Ohio does have an energy industry, but we're diversified. We're one of the fastest growing states in the country. We came back from the dead.

However, I also want to say this. The ranch standoff that took place out in Nevada was not about a man named Cliven Bundy. At the heart of this issue was my belief that our government is simply out of control.

And I believe it's important for people to be able to defend themselves.
