Time Text
So, alright, let's hear this.
If you don't know this one, this is really going to crack you up.
So this is Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida.
So I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida, and he was telling me that Florida is much better governed, safer, better budget, lower taxes, all this stuff, and he's really happy with the quality of life.
And then he paused and he said, you know, by the way, I'm Gavin Newsom's father-in-law.
So we do count Gavin's in-laws as some of the people that have fled California and come to the state of Florida.
And why are we getting people to come?
We have a 50-year low in the crime rate.
You don't see, in the last 10 years, we've had a 45% decline in homelessness.
California's had a 45% increase in homelessness.
We back the blue.
I was walking the streets of San Francisco a couple months ago, and I had some of the cops in San Francisco do a beeline to come over to me, and I didn't know what they were going to say.
And they're like, we want to thank you for standing for law enforcement, because we don't get that support in the state of California.
So people understand quality of life matters.
They understand that Florida's doing it right.
And I can tell you, the numbers...
Let me move on.
I think that is a riot.
Gavin Newsom's father-in-law moved to Florida.
I mean, all the data are so dispositive.
And then he talks about Jacksonville, which is run by a Democrat.
It's actually depressing because it's another example of truth doesn't matter.
Yeah, you feel that's what matters.
I feel better voting Democrat.
Will it actually do better for my state?
No.
There's not a single argument on why it would do better.
But it doesn't matter.
