KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: We are going to quickly, before we stay goodbye, go to a Bush event in Orlando.

Let's listen in.

GOV. GEORGE W. BUSH (R-TX), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I tell you one thing, it's got to be refreshing for the people of Florida to have a chief executive officer who has done in office exactly what he told the people of Florida that we would do.

I know Jeb is an inspiration for many of the young Floridians, because they're hearing something different in Tallahassee than that which they're hearing in Washington. In Tallahassee, you have leadership that says what they mean and mean what they says, and that's what we need in Washington, D.C.

I am so proud to be campaigning with George P., the man who evokes many a squeal. He's a good man, a man that's willing to take time to fight for his uncle, because he knows what many younger Americans know. We can do better in Washington D.C. We can have new leadership in Washington D.C., leadership that will lift this country's spirits and raise our sights. George P. knows what thousands of other youngsters know, that just because the White House has let us done in the past, that doesn't mean it's going to happen in the future. George P. joins us in a campaign that's going to restore honor and dignity to the White House.

PHILLIPS: And as you probably just heard me say, that is a rally going on at the airport in Orlando, George W. Bush talking about his plans for his campaign as he continues to run as the Republican presidential candidate for the White House.

That's it for now. I'm Kyra Phillips in Atlanta. We'll have more news at the top of the hour. We're going to join "SHOWBIZ THIS WEEKEND" that's already in progress.
