Florida Gov. Rick Scott is already making the rounds for Donald Trump in Cleveland ahead of his speech Wednesday at the Republican National Convention.

While the governor will be addressing the convention Wednesday, his appearance will take place before the nationally televised portion of the proceedings.

Reporter Holly Gregory talked to Scott on Tuesday. Here’s a transcript from that interview.

Holly Gregory: "Can you give us a preview of what you'll be speaking about?"

Gov. Rick Scott: "As you expect, I want Donald Trump to win. I'm going to talk about the fact that it his opportunity to fire the Washington politicians. And we have the right person to do it: Donald Trump. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he wins in November. We've got to change the direction of this country. We've going to have somebody that's going to stand up against ISIS. Think about what happened in Orlando. We lost the 49 individuals there. We've got to have somebody who is going to say enough is enough."

Gregory: “If (Trump) were to win the White House, you would have an ally that you have not had at the point. How would that benefit the state of Florida?"

Scott: “It would be great to have a partner. Look at what happened with the federal government. I tried to get Obama to declare a state of emergency; they won't. Look at the water problems we're having now in Lake Okechobee. They don't ever seem to be a partner for Florida. So it would be nice to have somebody that I met 20 years ago and has become a good friend. I want to make sure he wins."

Gregory: “(Florida has) a prominent role here in the convention. We have a very good spot on the floor; we have a couple of prominent speakers. What do you think about Florida's importance to this election, and how you are going to help get Donald Trump elected through Florida?”

Scott: “As you know, we're the biggest swing state. It seems like you have to win Florida to win the presidency. He's doing very well in our state, but we have to all get active. This is an election about Hillary Clinton, a career politician. She had her chance to destroy ISIS and failed. We have a new chance now with a new person, a business person that knows how to get things done. That will destroy ISIS and help us build our military.”
