TRANSCRIPT:

Well as you heard from the Speaker and the Leader, we just got out of our conference and we listened to a lot of members that talked about what they heard back in their district. One thing that we all know is the greatest creator of jobs in America is small business. Tonight, I'll be listening very intently, because I want to see what empowers entrepreneurs.

So we're looking at places where we can work with this President to empower the entrepreneur, to get America working again.
