dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think we are live!
		I hope we are live!
		Are we live?
		I got a thumbs up!
		We are live!
		Okay guys, this is going to be a bit of a crazy night, obviously for the country, also for us and this live stream right here.
		So first off, we are at the Tampa Convention Center here at DeSantis Campaign Headquarters.
		Victory Party, Freedom Lovin', Florida Freedom, the whole thing, it's all happening right here.
		At the Tampa Convention Center.
		We had a studio set up in an alternate room with beautiful lighting.
		We were going to do our whole thing in there, and then at the last minute, we were like, wait, wait, wait, we need to be in the room.
		So it's going to be loud, okay?
		I'm telling you right now, we're doing some of this on the fly.
		I think you can tell by the lighting, bit of a party atmosphere in here.
		They've got the Fox feed running.
		There's literally thousands of people here.
		It's the convention center, so it's absolutely massive.
		You can tell the feeling here is really fantastic.
		Like, people are just psyched.
		There's just such a feeling of that regardless of what happens throughout the country tonight, although everyone's feeling pretty good about that, that it just has been done right here.
		And it's a real celebration of the guy who's going to be coming on stage in about a half hour from now, obviously, Governor Ron DeSantis.
		Some early numbers are trickling in.
		I've got an iPad that is connected to the internet so my guys can give me some numbers on the fly.
		I'm sure many of you are watching probably on a computer or a phone or an iPad.
		You've got a TV on.
		Sounds like something good is being reported on Fox right at the moment.
		But yeah, there's a real feeling that this wave is going to happen.
		You don't want to count the chickens.
		Before they hatch, but I'm just super psyched to be here in Florida and doing this.
		So bear with us if we have some technical stuff and some audio stuff.
		The Lieutenant Governor of Florida, Jeanette Nunez, is going to join us in a few minutes.
		Also, Congressman Byron Donald.
		Who is the congressman from the Fort Myers-Naples-Sanibel area dealing with all this Hurricane Ian craziness.
		He's going to join us.
		Fox News' Lisa Booth is going to join us.
		Carol Markowitz from the New York Post is going to join us.
		John Cardillo is going to join us.
		We are going to try to get the governor.
		That is the plan after he speaks.
		But, as I think you'll probably hear, the guy has pretty much lost his voice.
		He has been out there, despite all the polling and all the energy and all the numbers, he's been out there alongside Casey DeSantis, the first lady, and they have been campaigning, busting their butts.
		So his voice is going a little bit, but hopefully we'll get him.
		But it's a serious celebration here.
		One of the many bars is about 10 feet away, so I will probably bust out some tequila once we get the official numbers from Florida.
		And I think we have the Lieutenant Governor coming in in just a couple minutes, and we're just really doing this on the fly, guys, and we appreciate you watching, whether you're on Rumble or Locals or on YouTube right now.
		I voted this morning, and I think we've got the Lieutenant Governor right now.
		We're gonna get her mic'd up real quick, and then we're just gonna jump right into it.
		Yeah, we can get you on in there.
unidentified		We're doing this all on the fly.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We're gonna get you mic'd up.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez, we'll give her just a minute to get settled.
unidentified		Don't worry, the camera won't be on you just yet.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		There is such a good feeling here in Florida, guys.
unidentified		I gotta tell you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		For those of you that live in Florida, you get it.
		For those of you that just watch my show, or whatever it might be, just reading about what's going on here in Florida, there really is just a... there is a renaissance of freedom.
		How you feeling?
unidentified		We're ready to roll?
		Are you mic'd?
		Oh, you're not mic'd up.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		She's not mic'd up.
		I told you guys we're doing this on the fly.
		Let's get the Lieutenant Governor mic'd up.
		People walking across the camera, what'd I tell you guys?
		As I said, we had a studio over there.
		We wanted to be in the party atmosphere, so we're just going for it tonight.
		This is called live production.
		There you go, walking under the camera.
		From what I'm hearing, let's just quickly, as I wait for the Lieutenant Governor to check in here, Right now we're seeing that Governor DeSantis is up 8 points in Miami-Dade County, which is absolutely massive, with 60% in.
		He lost Miami-Dade by 20 points back in 2018.
		So it's worth noting that not only are the numbers changing, but as I said several times on the show in the last couple weeks, Governor DeSantis, congressman at the time DeSantis, only won in 2018.
unidentified		That's only four short years ago.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		He only won Florida by about 30,000 votes.
		So something really remarkable has happened here in Florida and I really believe it is the blueprint that has to be mapped across all of the country.
		A couple other things that are rolling in at the moment is that Republican Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, is expected to win his re-election, according to Fox News.
		And as I said, Fox is going right behind us, so we're just going to do this all on the fly.
		You guys, can I throw to the Lieutenant Governor?
unidentified		All right, Jeanette Munoz.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Holy cow.
		I told the guys that, I just told my audience, we had a nice studio in a side room ready to go.
		It's going to be nice and quiet.
		And at the last minute, I forced everybody right here in the back.
		What do you make of what is going on here tonight and broadly in Florida?
unidentified		Well, I mean, I think this is the beginning of a movement, right?
		It is a movement that recognizes what we've done, what Governor DeSantis has done in Florida, protecting people's liberties, making sure that kids can get a quality education without indoctrination, protecting parents' rights, And ultimately, making sure that people can live their lives, open their businesses, run their businesses, have employees come to work, and what you're seeing here is the culmination of a tremendous amount of enthusiasm.
		New Floridians, old Floridians, people that have lived here all their lives, 7th generation Floridians, and everyone realizes And what we've done here is probably nothing short of historic.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Do we new Floridians owe the OG Floridians anything?
		I mean, I know we owe you guys.
		You did it right.
		We owe you something.
		Do you want cash?
unidentified		No!
		You owe your vote, which is what I think we got.
		You got it from her.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You got it from everyone that I brought.
unidentified		You got it from everybody.
unidentified		There you go.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Can you talk a little bit about what it was like at the height of COVID When the governor really, you know, people forget now, like as if everything was open the whole time and everything else, but when the governor really was going against Fauci, going against the CDC, fighting to keep everything open, you along, side him obviously, what kind of pressure was brought to bear on you guys?
unidentified		It was a tremendous amount of pressure from the corporate media, from all the liberal elites, from the establishment, you know, folks that thought they knew better, everyone from Fauci on down, They were criticizing us.
		They were saying that we were going to be, you know, the worst thing that Florida was going to be, you know, the kiss of death.
		And so, you know, the governor stayed the course.
		He didn't flinch.
		He did not cave to the pressures that came from all over.
		And I think that that's a testament to his leadership style, his courage.
		And then I think people recognize a leader when they see him.
		Someone that's willing to make tough decisions, because there were difficult decisions, let's not kid ourselves.
		Not a lot was known at the time, a lot of fear, a lot of panic, a lot of it driven by the media.
		But he made those difficult decisions, he stood firm, and he realized that he was doing what was in the best interest of Floridians.
		And if that was going to cost him his job, so be it.
		But I think the proof is in the pudding here, what we're seeing, again, the amount of people that have moved to Florida, the amount of people that can come to us and tell us, I have my job because of you.
		I was able to keep my family business because of you.
		My child was able to get an education because of you.
		That is above any one individual.
		That's above any one particular race.
		So that's why I always say freedom was on the ballot this time.
		Do you think he was fully trained for this?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Or did he grow into it?
		Because, again, it now seems easy to look back and be like, oh, he did the right stuff.
		But sometimes people actually, it happens to them on the fly.
		And since you know him in a more intimate way than everyone watching.
unidentified		So what I would say is that leadership traits are always there, right?
		So courage, bravery, commitment, principle.
		Not someone that's going to waver and is going to take a committee and do a poll He led, and I think that that's always, intrinsically, who he is.
		But, of course, you have to learn on the fly.
		You have to sit through data.
		You have to trust your instincts.
		You have to, again, be willing to make difficult decisions that may not be popular.
		But, when things settled, when the dust settled, and when we saw all the different moving parts as related to COVID, and beyond that, obviously hurricanes and other things, other crises we've had to deal with, building collapses, things that weren't in the playbook, right?
		I got one more for you because I'm sure you want to get out there with all the people as well.
		Going on the assumption that tonight works out, and I sense that we're pretty much okay saying that here, what do you guys have planned for the next couple of years?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		for you because I'm sure you want to get out there with all the people as well.
		Going on the assumption that tonight works out, and I sense that we're pretty much okay
		saying that here, what do you guys have planned for the next couple of years?
		I think you're going pretty well.
unidentified		I think they are going well and we want to make sure that they continue to go well.
		So a lot that we still have to tackle, a lot on education, a lot on the environment.
		I think the governor has already talked a lot about combating some of that corporate wokeness like ESG and continuing down that path because we see what's happening.
		Clearly we want to tackle We'll be working on a special session to address some of those issues.
		And then, you know, who knows what the next four years have in store for us.
		I'm sure it'll be interesting.
		It's always fun.
		It's always, you know, a lot of energy.
		And he's someone that, again, energy in the executive and a lot of decisiveness you're gonna get out of him.
		Well, Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Munoz, I thank you for your service, and it's an exciting night.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Get out there.
unidentified		Well, thank you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Are you drinking with the people?
unidentified		Not yet.
unidentified		Not yet.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		A little early for the drinks.
		Fair enough.
		All right.
		Well, I think that's... You're good.
		You are totally free.
		I think that's just a little taste of what's going on here in Florida, right?
unidentified		It's not about what the government can give you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's not about what these people are going to really do for you.
		It's about how can we create the conditions to keep you free, and that is our plan.
		That is their plan, and I would say it's our plan, as anyone that's here that is a free Floridian.
		Who are we going to get?
		We're going to get Carol Markowitz, New York Post's Carol Markowitz.
		Carol is going to join us in just a moment.
		Carol, we're doing this on the fly.
		Lady, we're going to mic you up.
		Carol, for those of you that do not know, although many of you do from the show, Carol is also a new Floridian transplant from Brooklyn.
		Carol, I think, if I'm not mistaken, you moved, like, literally the same week that I moved.
unidentified		Right around the same time.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I got here on December 17th.
unidentified		Oh, so that was, like, two weeks later.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Two weeks later than me, yeah.
unidentified		Yeah, but you and I have a very parallel existence over here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Well, I guess I'll ask you something unrelated to Florida for a second, but since you left New York, you were a Brooklynite.
		You left New York.
		I was born in Brooklyn, grew up in Long Island, lived in New York City most of my life.
		What do you think is going to happen in New York tonight?
unidentified		It's the one that I want the most, so it's hard to be clear-headed about it.
		I really want Lee Seldon to win.
		It's funny because a lot of people think because I left, I want New York to fail or I want it to collapse.
		I don't want it to come back.
		I don't need to be there for it to come back.
		I just want it to succeed.
		And I think Lee Zeldin will be such a good first step.
		In my heart of hearts, I'm trying not to get too wrapped up in it because I don't think it happens.
		But if it does, that'll be such a pleasant surprise.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You don't think it'll happen?
unidentified		You don't think it'll happen?
		It's so tough.
		New York City is so hard to overcome, even if you get a lot of upstate and Long Island.
		trying not to get people also well i can't even talk about the party and it's not a great
		time to get out of my head about the handbook but there is no doubt
		and i don't know what the second what happened when it was in the difference
		that you have to have a look at it but i don't think that i have a lot of the
		only person that i have a lot of smoke is that i have a couple of weeks ago i
		think you need to understand that i have a lot of people who have said that you
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		don't really need to know about that you'll be about to get to florida and i
		Ha ha ha ha ha!
		Alright, so you moved to Florida.
		Things obviously have been great here.
unidentified		Yeah.
		I mean... What could be bad, right?
		Nothing!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I guess that's what people always say.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Well, it can't all be.
unidentified		Right.
		I mean, I'm honest.
		When people ask me, like, I miss my family.
		Halloween was, like, you know, different.
		It wasn't quite what it was in Brooklyn.
		It was good.
		It just wasn't... Brooklyn Halloween is sort of an amazing thing.
		But I really don't miss anything.
		I don't like...
		I don't feel a longing for New York like I thought I would, and I love it here so much.
		I wake up happy and calm all the time.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, is that what it is?
		I mean, I've asked you this on the show a couple of times and we've talked about it prior to that, but is that it more than anything else?
		It's not all the political stuff necessarily, although that's annoying, but that's what I try to explain to people.
		There's a spirit of freedom here that makes people happier and more joyous, and it's what our default position should be.
unidentified		It should be, right?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Not the neurotic anger that so many people are walking around with.
unidentified		It helps that I don't have to worry about my kids in school.
		Like, really, it's a big thing.
		So, I don't know.
		What are they cheering?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think they just like Dana Burrito's hair.
unidentified		I like Dana Burrito's hair, too.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I love Dana Burrito's hair.
		So, alright.
		So, basically, even if you think that the Zelda thing is 50-50, you think that the rest of the night this looks pretty solid?
unidentified		I think things look really good.
		I would say that the one that I'm most worried about is probably Georgia.
		I just don't have a lot of faith in their elections.
		What do we do about that?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I mean, you're an actual journalist.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I don't have to go like this.
unidentified		I really don't know.
		It's very tough.
		Just hearing all the problems they're having in Arizona, this should not be the norm.
		We don't live in a third world country.
		I'm the most pro-American person and it crushes me that we can't have good elections.
		It really is a problem.
		Florida does it right.
		Why can't they just copy Florida?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Wasn't it refreshing today?
		When I voted today, to go in with the pens, actually mark it down, put it in an envelope, then walk it over to... Oh, is that how you... Oh, it wasn't.
		You put it in like a folded thing, and I walk it over to another person who confirms that I am me, even though that I was right there.
unidentified		Showing ID!
unidentified		Crazy!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It really was such a joy.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I was like, oh, This place is functional.
unidentified		Right, it's functional.
		It's totally different than voting in New York.
		Voting in New York is insane.
		I think Monica Crowley posted that she got two ballots in New York.
		I'm like, she returned hers, but what if she hadn't, you know?
		And then somebody voted twice.
		There's a lot of problems.
		I wonder if the problem is that a lot of people don't want to solve those problems.
		They like having those issues.
		Because I think they're very solvable problems.
		I don't think this is rocket science.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Isn't it weird in a way, it's almost like the default position is that nothing works, so when things don't work, we're all just like, oh sure, elections always used to be done at midnight, but now they're three week adventures, and people are like, oh well.
unidentified		That's how it is now, right?
		That's just the thing that we do now.
		But Florida's so interesting because they had some election trouble, and then they decided, like, no, we're going to fix this.
		And then they fixed it.
		And just living in a state where that happened is so magical and, you know, encouraging.
		We really should all have sidekicks as real as you.
		Move to Florida.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Would you like to make any other predictions or commentary on this evening?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		They're giving me the signal.
unidentified		I don't know.
		I think it's going to be a real tsunami, a red tsunami.
		I think Miami-Dade going red.
		I think that sounds very plausible.
		I think maybe Palm Beach County goes red, which would be insane, but you know, maybe.
		I don't know.
		Governor, by at least 7, maybe by 10.
		DeSantis?
		7, 10.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm saying 14.
		I'm nuts.
		14 is a lot.
unidentified		A lot.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		The thing is, I have to say 14 because I think I said to him, when we did the Orlando show, I was backstage with him, just the two of us.
		This was back in June, and I said, Governor, I either said 14 or 15.
		He laughed in my face.
		So I want it to be just for the story.
		Just for the story to work out.
unidentified		Carol, get out there, have a drink with the people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to keep yelling at the camera for a while and see who we have next.
unidentified		All right, thank you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, who do we have next?
		We have Byron Donalds.
		Congressman Byron Donalds is going to come in a few minutes.
		I'm actually thrilled he's here.
		You know, so Congressman Byron Donalds is the congressman from southwest Florida.
		That's Fort Myers, Naples, Sanibel Captiva area.
		Obviously Hurricane Ian just completely decimated the area.
		Even coming here today, We drove across Florida.
		When you drive through southwest Florida, 75, it's known as Alligator Alley because you're basically on one road, you got like a long moat, everglades on the side, and you're seeing alligators and birds and whatever.
		But as we got towards southwest Florida, the further west we came, started seeing more of the destruction and just old, awesome trees that were toppled over and roofs that are ripped off and all sorts of stuff.
		But Florida is rebuilding so incredibly fast.
		It's really remarkable.
		So the congressman is on his way in just a minute.
		I'll give you some numbers.
		I'm sure you guys are watching on many screens at this point.
		Right now is 63% in here in Florida and we'll try to widen out of Florida.
		I get I get I'm very Florida focused right now.
		We have Marco Rubio a little over 54%, Val Demings about 44%, so that's looking good.
		DeSantis up by 13 points right now, 56 to 43 for Charlie Crist.
		13 points!
		I want DeSantis at 14, 15 points.
		And with 16% in Georgia, which is a very low number obviously, Raphael Warnock 56%, and Herschel Walker at 43.
		But that's very early, so we'll see about that.
		But let's take it back to Florida right now, Congressman Byron Donalds.
		Good to see you, man.
unidentified		Man, it's good to be with you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm glad to be talking to you.
		Let's do some of the hard lifting first, and then we'll talk about what's going on here tonight.
		So how is Southwest Florida?
		What should people know?
		As I was just telling people driving across Alligator Alley today, it was the first time I saw some of the destruction and trees down and everything.
		What's the latest?
		What are you doing?
unidentified		and how can we help? I mean the latest right now is the barrier islands, they're in pretty bad shape. It's going to
		take some time for them to get back to where they are. A lot of places are back there, back open. If you're kind of
		in the mainland area, you're going to be getting close to the beach, a lot of flooding will occur and that's where
		real damage is. Having the bridges back open, the governor did the right thing, cut the red tape, cut the bridges back
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		open. How did you guys, how did you do it so quickly?
		I mean, that's Sanibel Causeway.
		It was busted in 10 different areas.
		It's a huge bridge.
		How did it happen?
unidentified		Well the thing people gotta understand is when it comes to actually doing the work, the work actually doesn't take much time.
		It's all the checks, the permits, all the different things you gotta do.
		That's what takes the time.
		So when you're committed to just triaging the situation and getting it done, it's pretty simple work.
		We had contractors who said you could do it in about And you did it!
		You did it in less than four weeks.
		and all the bureaucracy that shuffles in the ground and boots down on the ground to get it done.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And you did it.
		You did it in less than four weeks.
		How can people help at this point?
unidentified		Right now, go to FloridaDisasterFund.org.
		That's a huge help for everybody.
		FloridaDisasterFund.org.
		We're gonna be using that to try to help people who have just damaged,
		or maybe they didn't have insurance, maybe something happened to them,
		or what's going on in a personal situation, to try to find ways to help them build back.
		Other than that, man, the spirit of people in Southwest Florida is really, really strong.
		They wanna get back, they wanna rebuild.
		It's a positive thing overall.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What's the event on December 1st?
		I'm going to try to get there.
		Isn't there a big event on December 1st?
unidentified		So it's actually a benefit concert.
		It's going to be at Eliko Arena.
		We're going to have Leonard Skinner, Ted Nugent, many other acts are going to be there.
		It's all going to support people in Southwest Florida, help them rebuild from Hurricane Ian.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, cool.
		I'm going to try to come to that.
		Now let's talk about what's going on here tonight.
		I was telling my audience we had a nice quiet studio in another room over there, and then at the last second I was like, we got to get in this room.
		No matter how loud it is, I don't know if anyone can hear us or they're just hearing Fox in the background.
		There is something incredible going on in Florida.
		Are you born and bred Floridian?
unidentified		No, I'm a New Yorker, man.
		You're a New Yorker?
		I'm from New York, born and raised around East Brooklyn.
		I'm born in Brooklyn, in Bensonhurst.
		Bensonhurst?
		Brown Heights.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So how long have you been here?
unidentified		I came to college here in 1996.
		And so when I came here after college, when I graduated in 2002, I had a choice.
		Go back home or stay in Florida.
		I made the right decision.
		I stayed in Florida.
		And the rest is gone from there.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So what is happening here in these last couple of years?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Do you remember a moment that it started, that now Florida is the blueprint of freedom, not only for the country, but I think for the whole world?
unidentified		Well, it's a couple of things.
		First and foremost, we've had consistent governance by conservatives in the state legislature, in the governor's mansion.
		But then what really changed it, honestly, was COVID-19.
		When COVID hit, it demonstrated clearly to everybody who was for freedom and who was for just controlling every aspect of your life.
		All of the political arguments we had in the past came to reality.
		And people saw it firsthand.
		So you had a lot of people leave their states and come to Florida.
		Fortunately for us, we had a governor who was committed to the freedom of the people of Florida.
		And now the results of election night are the fruits of all of that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and you're saying that before we got the results, so you're feeling pretty good.
unidentified		Listen, man.
		I can tell you, I know this state.
		I've seen the state, been through it, talked to the people.
		And it's not just in Florida.
		There's people all across the country.
		There are people in other states who wanted to get to Florida.
		They didn't have escape velocity.
		They had something that was still keeping them in their state.
		They wanted to be here, but they couldn't.
		But then the new people who come, when you talk to them, they're like, man, I should have came here a lot sooner.
		This, what was going on in my home state was terrible, but I'm glad I'm in Florida because I just want to go to the beach.
		I want to go to a restaurant.
		I just want to hang out with my friends and not be bothered.
		Not be persecuted because I want to live my life.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What kind of strains does that put on the local communities when all these new people move in?
		So, you know, I'm in the Miami area.
		Obviously, real estate is crazy right now because, you know, 300,000 new people come into Florida.
		It increases the houses.
		So that's one thing.
		What other stresses are there?
		What can all the new people that are appreciative, what can we do?
unidentified		That's what I just asked the Lieutenant Governor.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		How can we help more?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Because I want the OGs to feel appreciated.
unidentified		It's about real estate and roads.
		It's gonna be tough because we brought so many people into the state.
		This is what I try to explain to Joe Biden and those guys.
		When you have a lack of product, but everybody's got money, the prices go up.
		Well, in Florida, we didn't have...
		Yeah, I gotta do my job, man.
		That's what people send me to do.
		But listen, when you have a limited amount of housing, which, I mean, in Florida, we have housing stock issues because people keep moving here.
		But when you have so many people come, and then they have the money to spend, the prices go up.
		Secondarily, roads.
		The roads were built for an estimate of X amount of people.
		Y showed up because the Democrats don't know what they're doing in the blue states.
		So it was a good problem to have overall.
		Now where we are, you kind of get an opportunity for that to settle in.
		We're going to open, you know, build more houses, stuff like that.
		Hopefully at the federal level, we get our economy back on track and we get inflation under control.
		So your home builders, your electricians, your roofers, they're not having to pay through the nose for their materials, which then falls on the back of the people who actually buy the homes.
		Byron, I want you to get out there and party with the people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I thank you for your time.
unidentified		We'll do this again.
		I'm going to try to come to the event on the first.
		Anytime.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		All right, Congressman Byron Donalds.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And we're just going to keep rolling.
unidentified		Bruce, should we grab Liz Wheeler?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, Congressman, you are free to go.
		You are free to do your thing.
		We're going to grab Liz Wheeler in just a second.
		As you can see, a little chaos.
unidentified		It's live, man.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's live.
		I'll tell you one thing.
		It's more real than what's going on on MSNBC or CNN.
		Has the crying begun yet?
		Has the crying begun on MSNBC yet?
		Are they crying on MSNBC yet?
unidentified		The crying has begun.
unidentified		So let me just see if I got some updated numbers here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		The last numbers I'm looking at here in Florida, that 56% DeSantis, 43% Crist, is just beautiful.
		It's just beautiful.
		I don't know if you guys saw it, there was a clip going viral from CBS News, I think it was, earlier today, where they sent some people out and about in Florida just trying to find Charlie Crist supporters, and they literally could not find anybody.
		It was actually Quite hilarious.
		I have a non-Floridian with me.
unidentified		That's true, although you've made your best efforts to turn me into one.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you are a non-Floridian yet, Liz Wheeler of the Liz Wheeler Podcast and many-time Rubin Report guest.
unidentified		What brings you to Florida on a night like this?
		This electric energy.
		Isn't this wild?
		This is wild.
		And it's not just in this building, which is incredible.
		It's across the whole state.
		Miami-Dade?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Crazy.
unidentified		The Santa's lost by 20 points in 2018.
		He lost by 20 in 2018.
		He's up by about 12 right now.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		20 and 2018, he's up by about 12 right now. I mean, that's, that's crazy.
unidentified		It's crazy. It shows that the American people aren't stupid, that they don't want the wokeness
		that the Democratic Party offers, and that they understand that Republicans are offering them
		lower gas prices, more affordable energy bills, parental control over education,
		and freedom instead of COVID tyranny.
		Alright, something good is happening.
		Oh yeah, all right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So Marco Rubio... All right, they just called it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
unidentified		We're doing this on the fly, people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So they just called.
		Marco Rubio will officially remain the senator from right here in Florida.
		We thought that was going to happen, but it's still not.
unidentified		We did, but did you see that margin?
		What was it?
		That's a significant margin.
		It was a margin of 12.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It was a margin of 12?
		That's right.
		Beautiful.
		So good things are happening.
		So one of the reasons that I love you, Liz, You, every time you come on my show, you lay out facts.
unidentified		A lot of people just kind of talk about stuff.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You lay out facts.
		And in some ways, this election, to me, not just here at Ford, but everywhere, it seems like an election of reality.
		Like, are we going to live in non-reality with boys as girls?
unidentified		and girls as boys and every day and everyone's racist.
unidentified		All right, Alabama has been called.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I would expect that one, so that's okay.
unidentified		But you must feel pretty good that people seem to just, they just want reality again.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's what I really think this is about.
unidentified		I think what's happened in our country in the last two years
unidentified		is that the things that you and I have been talking about for maybe decades has finally touched people's-
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and I've only had about six years.
unidentified		That's right, you're like a baby.
		It's finally touched people's lives, and I'm sad to say that because I don't want critical race theory.
		Oh my!
		That's a good one!
		That's 15!
		That was the number!
		He knows it!
		Oh, it's called!
		But when they realize that it's going to negatively impact them,
		they realize it's not arbitrary.
		It's happening because of them.
		All right.
		Oh my!
		That's a good one, people.
		That's 15.
		That was the number.
		He knows it.
		Oh, it's called.
		That was it.
		15 points.
		I told the governor, I told the governor on June 2nd, the two of us in Orlando in the green room, I said you're going to win by 15 points.
		He laughed in my face.
		Alright, Governor DeSantis.
		That is awesome.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, so the night has just begun here.
		The governor, I'm sure, is probably drinking some tea.
		The guy lost his voice, basically.
unidentified		I don't blame him.
		He's been talking to people.
		He's been walking the walk.
		15 points!
		15 points.
		Not bad, not bad, not bad.
		You want to make any other predictions, Zay?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Anything else?
unidentified		Oh, I think it's going to be Republicans taking back the House and Republicans taking back the Senate.
		Because the red wave is not politicians, right?
		It's us.
		We've been negatively impacted by the Biden administration.
		We've been negatively impacted by a Democrat Congress.
		And we're all saying, I don't think so.
		It's time for that to end.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		DeSanity is about to return to America.
unidentified		Thank you, Liz.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Now get out there.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I keep telling them, I guess, go out there and have a drink.
unidentified		You don't do that.
		That's true, but I'll lift up some club soda for you.
		Go have a club soda with lime.
		Thank you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, well, this night is already turning out to be better than anticipated so far.
		I didn't think they were going to call it this early.
		Florida 15 points obviously the margins can change a little bit here and there but that's awesome
unidentified		Rubio by 12 is that Rubio by 12, okay?
unidentified		I've got a couple numbers here. Yeah, let me sign this for you. How you doing?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Fighting to keep Florida free people there you go there you go and John Cardillo's jumping in there you go my man
unidentified		Little bit different than cable news over here It is.
		A little bit different.
		All right.
		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, there's your pen.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You can have your pen, too.
unidentified		All right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		John Cardillo's joining me.
		John, you've been on my show a million times.
		Yeah.
unidentified		What's happening?
		Something good?
		You're up 15.
		They're just showing the 15 points again.
		Did I tell you 15?
		I told DeSantis.
		You told DeSantis?
		I've been saying 15 all day.
		I mean, unbelievable.
		And that thing can still... The thing is, that can still widen because it's a Republican who will vote today.
		Absolutely.
		Absolutely.
		This can be a 17 to 20 point win.
		John, we've got people trying to bust in on us right here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You're sort of my, I would say, my Floridian political insider.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And you're also originally a New Yorker.
unidentified		I've been here about 19 years.
unidentified		Almost 19.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You get here about 19 years ago.
unidentified		This place has basically become your dream.
		What's going on?
		It's us!
		They're showing us on fire!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we want it big!
unidentified		I mean, it's just great here, right?
		It's incredible.
		You know, Florida's no longer a swing state.
		Florida's no longer an outlier.
		We are a top-tier population state, and we're a red state now, Davis.
		Solid red state.
		And I think Florida's the model other Republicans have to follow.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		What else do you think is going to happen tonight?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I mean, everybody's You know, I have high hopes for Arizona.
unidentified		We have some great candidates in Arizona.
		I think we're going to do... we won in Ohio.
		Ohio was called... I was called for Vance.
		One of the biggest takeaways for me in Florida, Ron DeSantis, last I spoke to his team, won Miami-Dade County by eight points.
		Decades since the Republicans won Miami-Dade County.
		I just want to have a good night across the United States.
		I have high hopes for Adam Blacksalt in Nevada.
		And I wouldn't be surprised if we see 53-54 in the Senate.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What do we have to do with the people who got, oh, they're chanting USA!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Now we're at a WWE rally too!
unidentified		Now I'm just going to body slam.
unidentified		We'll end this thing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What do you think, we've talked about this a little bit privately, usually over some drinks, but what do you think we have to do about all of the people that have gotten everything wrong?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Not just the ones who got everything wrong, but who actively were trampling our freedom.
unidentified		The Atlantic did the big...
		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		I hope tonight is the beginning of the demise of traditional pollsters.
		And I've got to tell you something that really pissed me off was GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel saying, oh, now Republicans are going to win big.
		They've got to make peace.
		They've got to work with Democrats.
		Hell no.
		We've got to crush them.
		Make them feel pain.
		There will be no amnesty.
		No amnesty.
		They need to be held to account.
		I want to see people, Dave, I want to see them prosecuted for what they did to Americans, knowing they were pushing products, profiteering, and doing it on junk data.
		And that's not hyperbole.
		That's not sensationalism.
		Lives were destroyed.
		People died alone.
		Weren't allowed to go to funerals.
		I think people need to be held to account.
		Investigations need to happen in Congress.
		People need to be prosecuted.
		Don't walk them out of their houses like they do to the right.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, there's Ben Dominic!
unidentified		That's us!
		I think he's a Rubin Report guest too, and we're over there somewhere.
		Yeah, this is just so exciting.
		Yeah, I'm fired up.
		Look, I don't want just weaponization of our side.
		I want revenge.
		I want retribution and revenge.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		As I said, people, this is not what you're getting on traditional cable news tonight.
		So let me ask about the one other place since we both come from New York.
		I mean, do you think Zeldin has a chance?
		I really believe it.
		I really do.
unidentified		I would not wake up tomorrow morning.
		I hope so.
		I like Lee.
		I know he's a great guy.
		Lee's a great guy.
		I wouldn't be surprised if he did win.
		He's got the ability to win by 1 to 1.5.
		It'll be slim, but he can do it.
		He can do it.
		He's got support and he's got an infrastructure.
		John, you got to Florida.
		You settled the land before me.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I appreciate it.
unidentified		You're on Wyatt Earp, Dave.
		Enjoy the rest of the night, my man.
		All right, guys.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Good things are happening.
		I mean, how awesome.
		15 points.
unidentified		I think DeSantis owes me a drink.
unidentified		I said 15 points.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		He laughed in my face.
		We shall see.
		All right, I think we've got a couple other people that may join us at different points.
unidentified		The governor, do we know when the governor is going to be talking yet?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We don't know exactly when the governor is going to jump in, but what we're going to try to do, I think we're going to keep the live stream going.
		Until the governor jumps on.
		When he jumps on, I'm just going to get out of the way.
		All of the mainstream media is right behind us over there, so they're going to give you the traditional view, obviously, of the governor's speech.
		We thought it would be fun, since we did this all on the fly and we left the studio and we just camped out here, basically.
		We're right in the midst of this thing.
		As I said, we got the bar two feet away from us.
		We thought it would be fun.
		When the governor comes out, I'm going to get right out of the way.
		We're going to just shift the camera We'll give you a different view than anyone is going to have because they obviously all have the mainstream networks and all that, have their cameras directly on the stage.
		So we'll see who comes out.
		I think Byron, who is just here, Congressman Byron Donalds, I think he's going to speak before the governor.
		There may be one or two other people.
		Let's see.
		I got a tweet here from Mike Cernovich.
		Mike's been on the show a couple of times.
		I used to get in a lot of trouble for having Mike Cernovich on, and he's become actually quite an astute political pundit, I think.
		He said, I'm reading these just on the fly, he says, Red Wave doesn't even begin to describe what's happening.
		The turnout doesn't even seem possible.
		Total destruction occurring.
		I don't even see how they can get away with cheating at this point.
		Let me mention, let me talk about the cheating, this cheating situation for a second.
		Because everyone feels, everyone, regardless of what side you're on, if you're a Republican, you kind of felt like Trump got screwed one way or another, depending on how deep you went into that, right?
		If you're a Democrat right now, for the last week, Hillary Clinton and MSNBC and The View has been telling you that the Republicans are about to cheat.
		There's a very noxious and, I would say, pernicious idea in the system that no one's going to trust the system.
		It's very dangerous and it's why I was so proud, again, to vote today in such a clear, concise way here in Florida.
		A piece of paper, a pen, A private booth, an envelope, walking that over to another person at the actual receptacle where I then put it in.
		It was all done and it was clean and legit.
		And there simply was going to be no doubt that things were going to be done on the up and up here in Florida.
		And that's why I think this election, as I said to Carol, It's about sanity, and it's about confidence.
		I would love, actually, if after this massive destruction, which I've been calling for for a long time, right?
		I have.
		The Democrat Party needed and needs, again, I still don't want to get ahead of myself, it still needs to be destroyed.
		Let's see what happens for the rest of the night.
		It's looking good right now.
unidentified		And Cernovich's tweet notwithstanding, but let's see.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's a Florida race house.
		Of course, Luna, the Republican winning.
		Florida is just going to be as red as red can be.
		I mean, DeSantis, man, if you just do it right.
unidentified		Oh, Fox is showing the crowd.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Right here.
		Oh, that's Leah Republican here in Florida.
		So things obviously are very good here.
		Let's see, Texas governor right now.
		Texas governor with only 15% reporting.
		So this is very, very early stuff.
		Has Beto at 15% and Abbott at 42.
		It's probably not even worth talking about at that point.
		Let's see, do we have anything else here?
		We're gonna have Rob Smith joining us in just a second.
unidentified		I think Lisa Leak is gonna be here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That's the Marco Rubio win at 14 points right now.
		These are not normal margins.
		Excuse me.
		These are not normal margins, guys.
		Like, you know the way things have been over the last couple years.
		We get elections, you know, two, three, four points.
		Four is often considered a big win.
unidentified		14 points. Yeah.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I mean, these margins, these are spectacular margins.
unidentified		And again, blueprint for the United States.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Don't worry.
		Don't worry what just happened there.
		They were booing Joe Biden.
		They were booing Joe Biden.
		Nothing bad happened here.
		All right.
		Are we going to grab, I think we got Lisa and we got some other people on the way in just a moment.
		Okay.
unidentified		Let's see what else.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm being told Florida has turned blood red.
unidentified		Not just red, but actual blood red.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So as I said, when the governor gets out here, I'm going to get out of the way.
		And then our hope, of course, is that we're going to get the governor.
		He's losing his voice.
		If you heard the governor the last couple of days, these guys, even though they knew, we knew what was going to happen here in Florida.
		We have that luxury because things have been so good and so strong.
		But he and Casey, the first lady, they just campaigned their butts off.
		They were all over the state for the last, really the last two weeks.
		And really, if you think about it, you know, if you go from Hurricane Ian, which was only a month ago, and that they were out there every single day in the midst of a campaign, right?
		And basically had to stop campaigning, end that, and then just roll right into everything that's going on right now, the last couple weeks and see these results.
unidentified		It's pretty great.
unidentified		Let's see.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Right now, they're showing the Warnock-Herschel-Walker situation in Georgia.
		It's very low returns right now.
		It looks like Warnock's up by about 10, but a little too early.
		Let's see, I've got a little bit more info for you.
		There's no voting data yet for Arizona Senate and Pennsylvania Senate.
		As well as Nevada Senate.
		The Senate, the sites are all saying data will come out at 10 p.m.
		Eastern.
		So we'll see how long we go for tonight.
		I hope this is my water.
		I think this is my water.
		And I think I dropped my phone down there somewhere.
unidentified		A lot going on people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Anyway, on a personal note, I have to say how refreshing it is to be in a place that is congruent with my beliefs.
		I moved here so that this could happen.
		So that maybe I could be a little piece of this.
		So that the ideas that were working in Florida, that I was watching from 3,000 miles away in California, Watching all the wrong ideas, and I was watching all the right ones here, and I thought, I want to be part of that.
		And the fact that now I'm sitting here on an incredible night like this, that I've been welcomed into the fold, into what's going on here, in the right way, in Florida, is just so freaking awesome.
		It really, it's a complete validation of my life.
		Not to make it about me on this night, because it's not.
		It's about America.
unidentified		And I got a lot of people waving at me and yelling at me from the side.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All nice things, by the way.
		Let's see what else is going on here.
		New Hampshire governor race.
		The Republican Krista Nuno is at 50%.
		Democrat Tom Shorten, 48%.
		They're showing They're showing the Florida results now.
		It looks like 57% dissent is 41 for Crist.
unidentified		16 points.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We're at 16 points.
		The governor's going to owe me a steak dinner.
		That's what I'm going to ask.
		But let's see.
		Okay, so New Hampshire's looking good.
		Georgia governor.
unidentified		Oh, this is an interesting one.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		29% reporting.
		So again, this is very early stuff.
		Oh, we just lost it.
		No, it's got, oh no, sorry, I got it back.
		It's Abrams at 52% and Kemp at 47%.
		You know, it's interesting about Stacey Abrams because she was an election denier who ran for governor last time, obviously did not accept the results, but nobody really called her out in the mainstream.
unidentified		And as you know, I always say that it's because of what?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Democrat privilege that you can lie and cheat and get everything wrong and destroy things, but you fail your way up.
		But it's sort of interesting because in the last couple weeks the media really shifted off the Georgian gubernatorial race, which kind of makes you think that it is not going to go well for the Democrats.
		But credit where credit's due with about 30% in, Abrams does have a little bit of a lead over there.
unidentified		Let's see what else is going on over here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Well, we'll get some more numbers for you in a little bit, but really guys...
		What I think is happening.
		Daphne, my phone is down there somewhere.
		Don't mind her.
		Different live stream.
		There you go.
unidentified		Thank you.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		What really is happening here?
		Look, it's the sanity thing I talked about.
		It's the competency thing.
		But you know, six, seven years ago, guys, you could go back into some of the videos
		that I was doing as a disaffected liberal, as a lifelong Democrat, as a two-time Obama voter,
		and saying, Democrats, there's something wrong here.
		This woke thing is out of control.
		We are not acting liberally.
		You guys know the drill on all of that.
		And I just kept saying it over and over.
		And the New York Times said I'm head of the alt-right, and all the nonsense about Jordan Peterson
		and the protesters and everything else.
		And the left just kept going.
		The good Democrats, and there were good Democrats.
		Some of you watching this may consider yourself old school Democrats, but your party doesn't exist anymore.
		And out of the ashes, maybe something good will come.
		But hopefully, if this evening continues the way that it is looking right now, And again, you don't want to do any of this too early.
		You don't, right?
		Like, I'm excited, clearly, because of what's going on here in Florida, and I'm in a room of freedom-loving people that are happy tonight, no matter what happens with everything else.
		But if this continues, if this continues the way it looks like it's going to continue, then the X The liberals, or the disgruntled liberals, the libertarians who just want government out of the way, the conservatives who may have different religious beliefs, all of these things, all of these groups could come together and say, well, what does unite us?
		What is it that we all just voted for?
		What did we all vote against?
		What did we all leave from the blue states?
		Why did we come to the red states?
unidentified		And the common denominator It is freedom, guys.
		It is freedom that people want to live free.
		It is the most fundamentally human attribute that there is.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		That you watching this right now want to live your life in a certain way and to organize a society, we need something called a government.
		But our founders did this thing in such a beautiful way with our Constitution.
		To limit the power of government.
		To give you a bill of rights to enshrine these incredible protections.
		And then, unfortunately, in the course of 250 years, the government kept coming.
		We stopped realizing what makes us free people.
		What makes America so special.
		We started becoming like the rest of the world.
		We started becoming like the countries that our ancestors fled.
		Two fled from to come here.
		But maybe we're about to get it back.
		Maybe we're about to get it back and we will look back, imagine.
		Guys, and I really mean this.
		And I think about this often.
		Running a DeSantis ad right now.
		I think about this often as a new father of two beautiful young boys.
		It's like, what if I can say to my kids, you know, in 10 years, in 15 years from now, right?
		We start talking politics.
		And they ask me, what was that thing?
		What was the squad?
		What was woke?
		And I just tell them about this little blip, this aberration, this ridiculous time that was fueled by algorithms, and this thing, and this thing, and we didn't know what we were doing, and we almost gave it all away, but we fought for it, we got it back, and then we gave that great promise to the next generation.
		I think we can do it.
		I think it starts right here.
		Call me crazy!
		Alright, so they're going to start the speakers on stage soon.
		So depending on who goes on, I may continue for a little bit or get out of the way.
		I promise you I will get out of the way when Governor DeSantis gets back up there.
		And then we're going to see.
		I mean, the guy has been talking forever, so I'm not going to beg the guys.
		I'm going to get him on for tonight.
		We'll see if we can do it.
		If not, I'm sure we can do it in the next couple weeks or whatever it might be.
		Let's see.
		Wait, this is not a joke?
		This is not a joke?
		I'm being told what I'm about to read to you is not a joke.
		And he's telling me it's not a joke.
		Joe Biden has turned off the TV in the West Wing, according to a White House staffer.
		What he was watching, we don't know.
		Geez, wow, well that really does mean that things are looking good.
		Republican Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire has won re-election, so that is good.
		So at the moment...
		As far as I can tell, nothing has gone horrifically awry yet, right?
		We haven't seen one of the major states that we thought might flip.
		We haven't seen any of them fall.
		I hope you guys can hear me, by the way.
		It's getting louder and louder here every second, and I can tell if DeSantis doesn't have a voice, I ain't gonna have much.
		By the end of this.
		But the speakers are going to speak soon.
		We'll see who goes up there.
		It's obviously a massive celebration here.
		Just everywhere.
		I mean, literally everywhere I'm looking, it's just smiling people.
		Everywhere.
		It's like, this is good.
unidentified		This is good.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I can't imagine.
		What's going on in Charlie Criss campaign headquarters?
		Like, was it his bedroom?
		Like, what's going on over there?
		Nothing good in Charlie Criss' headquarters.
		But so far this is really shaping up to be a nice night.
		Phoenix, do we have anything out of New York?
		Is there anything coming out of New York yet?
		Oh, we're gonna look at the iPad.
		They gave me this iPad.
		They gave me the iPad for a reason here.
		Let's see.
		I'm not seeing anything from New York on here just yet.
		Oh, there's no data from New York yet.
		All right, so it is, it's about 8.30.
unidentified		So all right, we're just rolling into, so man.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Think about how early Florida could report, right?
		Because the margins were so huge.
		16 points for DeSantis is absolutely incredible.
		How you doing?
		The margins were so huge that they could report early.
		But we'll see what happens in New York.
		Oh, they're supposed to come in at 9 o'clock Eastern.
		I think the governor will be speaking at that point.
		But obviously, as I said, I'm sure you guys, half of you, are watching with one of these and one of these and the television and all that.
		Maybe that's Martin.
		Maybe that's part of our modern problem these days.
		I think perhaps it is.
		Okay.
		Are we going to snag Lisa or anyone else, or are we going to wait for the governor?
		Okay.
		We're waiting for the program to start here, so we're going to hold off on the guests for now.
		I'm down to take a couple questions.
unidentified		If people want to throw some questions in, we can do that as well.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Again, guys, we're doing this all on the fly.
		We had a very orderly program planned for you, but we just felt that this was the better way to do it.
		And yeah, the signs are coming in.
		People are psyched.
		And you know, there's also some other interesting stuff, some subtext to what's going on here in Florida.
		Obviously, President Trump gave a big rally here in Miami two days ago.
		He clearly endorsed Marco Rubio.
		He endorsed Governor DeSantis.
		He did vote for Governor DeSantis, and there's video of him saying that today.
		You know, there is this potential.
		It's, I think, mostly a media creation at the moment, this tension between DeSantis and Trump.
		But it's like, who knows what it really is and what they're doing on the deal.
		I also, again, I've said this a million times, I have no idea what DeSantis wants to do in the long term.
		But I do know that he loves this state.
		But the Republicans right now, there's a bright prompt there.
		There really is a feeling like, man, there's some good people here, regardless whether, if we're looking at 2024, whether it was Trump.
		And there's obvious great reasons for that.
		And there's some Some messy reasons that you wouldn't want it to happen.
		Obviously there's DeSantis.
		There's Mayor Suarez here in Miami who I think has a great opportunity for a much bigger stage.
		You've got Nikki Haley.
		You've got maybe a Marco Rubio or a Ted Cruz.
		It's just a better crop than you have on the Democrat side.
		But what I really think will be interesting The takeaway from tonight, again, assuming things kind of continue to shake out the way we're looking at them, is what are the Democrats going to do if Joe Biden has shut the TV off?
		And I know his bedtime isn't well, technically, his bedtime is 830.
unidentified		So he shut the TV off just a little bit early tonight.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		But if there is this massive red wave, what are the Democrats going to do?
		They got to blame somebody.
		And who is that?
		Of course it's going to be Joe Biden.
		And you're going to watch them jump off the ship real quick.
		Real quick.
		Wow.
		So they're showing the Florida map right now.
unidentified		I don't know if you can see that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Wow, really incredible.
		I mean, basically the entire map of Florida is red right now.
		I don't think those are final results.
		Obviously, we're not at the end of the night yet.
		But basically, the entire map of Florida is red.
		I saw two blue blips when I'm seeing there.
		Orlando, you can see that sort of upper middle of the state.
		And then the Miami-Dade area, which is southeast Florida.
		But the numbers are still coming in there.
		And they're looking really good for an area that DeSantis lost.
		By 20 points last time.
		Last we heard he was up by 8 points.
		So super interesting things are happening here.
		Let's see, another good piece out of Florida.
		Cori Mills, Republican, is going to take Stephanie Murphy's old seat.
		She was a Democrat in Florida's 7th congressional district.
		Oh, and this is also interesting.
		Republicans have not only defeated Charlie Crist, obviously, but also flipped his former congressional seat from blue to red.
		All right, so good things are happening.
		Let's see.
		What do we have here?
		So am I understanding this one correctly?
		Mayra Flores is down at the moment.
unidentified		What's that?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Okay, got it.
		So Mayra Flores, this is the young Latina woman in the border town that's Texas's 34th district.
		This is a district that was Democrat-run for a hundred years, okay?
		She is now in early voting.
		She's down a little bit, but there's just something interesting going on here, right?
		Everyone can kind of feel it.
		Mayra Flores, she runs, she wins this special election and then what happens?
		The New York Times is basically calling her the Latina, the face of Latina white supremacy.
		The same kind of stuff that they did to Larry Elder.
		And that also is what so much of this election is about.
		That the mainstream media, if you're watching this mainstream media people, it's like no more carrying water for the Democrats.
		Maybe you're also realizing, if this red wave continues, that the gravy train is over.
		I get why you like Democrats.
		You like Democrats because they're the elite.
		You like Democrats because they like high taxes that keeps the power structure intact.
		You like Democrats because, generally speaking, Democrats used to be more liberal.
		Somehow that may have meant more fun or something like that, or the connection to Hollywood and music and all that.
unidentified		But it's all changing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's all changing.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Actually, all the fun, all the joy, all the good music, all of the creativity, it's not that it's coming out of conservatives.
unidentified		It's just that it's coming out of non-woke people.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		The liberals did not defend liberalism, and the Fox got in the hen house, and the hens are pretty bloody red at the moment.
		All right, Fox is going to have another update in about a minute.
		The room is filling up, as you can see.
		I can't quite tell how many people you can see behind me, but there's just a massive amount of people here.
		It's really fantastic.
		We're going to take a couple of questions from the Rubin Report Community Q&A.
		Again, the program here will start any minute and then I'm going to jump out of the way and we'll go from there.
		Let's see.
		Margo says, Am I alive or am I dreaming?
		Margot, I think you're alive.
		We're all in your dream right now, Margot.
		And it's even weirder because I'm talking to you.
		So if this is your dream, very bizarre.
		But something good is happening right now.
		But again, let's not forget, guys.
		2020 election, when that thing was rolling into what?
		11 p.m.
		Eastern.
		We were all feeling very good about what was happening at the presidential level, right?
		Trump was leading in all those places.
		So you don't want to get too ahead.
		Let's see what Fox is reporting right now.
		Incumbent in Arkansas, Republican, we knew that was going to happen so Arkansas will remain red.
		That was obviously not a surprise.
		So we'll find out more hopefully on that Texas 34th District with Noah Flores.
unidentified		Oh, alright, so Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former White House press secretary.
		A little better than Jen Psaki and Corinne Jean-Pierre.
		She has won.
		She is now the governor of Arkansas.
		That is absolutely fantastic.
		I've met her a few times.
		She's a lovely, lovely lady.
		We'll get her on the show.
		We tried to do it a few times.
		Couldn't do it because of some scheduling things.
		But that's a good sign for Arkansas.
unidentified		And... Yeah, a couple other...
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Couple other things, couple other things happening.
		I'm doing a lot of talking.
		All right, you can throw me a few more, a few more questions.
		And then if the program doesn't start, we'll, we'll let people get out of the way.
		Wow, this is incredible.
		So Marco Rubio, Senator, obviously, and Governor Ron DeSantis are currently on pace to win Miami-Dade by double digits.
		And if you want a little context for that, what is happening here in the state of Florida, Hillary Clinton won Miami-Dade in 2016.
		Remember that election?
unidentified		She won it by 30 points.
unidentified		That is such a flip, it's almost impossible to understand the level of that flip.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		If it's double digits right now, Let's just say it's 10, right?
		We'll go with the lowest possible double digit.
		It's 10 for Rubio and DeSantis after Hillary won Miami-Dade.
		And I'm part of Miami-Dade.
unidentified		And all my employees are part of Miami-Dade.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		There is something really, really beautiful happening here in Florida.
		OK.
		I'm being told that a lot of community members are asking about Arizona.
		It sounds like it's a little unclear.
		Connor's mom lives in Arizona.
		You want to get her on the phone, see what we can make happen here?
		We'll try to get Connor's mom to report live from Arizona.
		But again, we're being told the only official results from Arizona aren't going to come in until 10 p.m.
		I think our stream will be done by then.
		Depends what happens with Governor DeSantis.
		So we'll see.
unidentified		Wow.
unidentified		Well, I'm just gonna pause for a second and have a little water.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Bear with me guys for one second.
unidentified		You know what can also happen after this?
unidentified		Again, if it continues to go well.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And I have to, I just don't want to get ahead of myself.
		We don't know what's gonna happen with Oz and Fetterman.
		We still don't have those Arizona results.
		Obviously, we don't have the Georgia results.
		Georgia's got a gubernatorial and a Senate campaign going.
		So we still gotta wait.
		But right now, the feeling is good right now, right?
		And what else happens after this?
		So we get some sanity back.
		We get some functional governance back.
unidentified		And then what if, what if we really Do what the founders intended.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Let's say the rest of the night is a disaster.
		For what I would want.
		For what you would want.
		Let's say New York remains hardcore blue.
		Georgia goes blue.
		Arizona.
		Let's say it all goes the other direction.
		What's the worst scenario?
		Worst case scenario is that federalism has to fight for itself, meaning that the states, which are supposed to be independent experiments of democracy, will have to do it, and they'll do it very differently, and Florida will just be very different than New York is, and Texas will be very different than California is.
		That's the way it's happening already.
		But that's also why, you know, it's one of these weird things.
		I'm so excited to be here in Florida for this, because this is where it directly affects my life.
		But we shouldn't, you know, in a functional society, if things were working the way they were intended to work, it wouldn't matter to you that much if you lived in Florida, whether Nevada was red or blue, right?
		It really wouldn't matter that much.
		There would be some level of it, But not that much.
		And we flipped everything.
		You know, it's ironic, right?
		Why did the Pilgrims come to America?
		Why did the Boston Tea Party happen?
unidentified		Why did we fight to create this incredible free country?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And it's all because of freedom.
unidentified		And really, it was because we wanted to escape a centralized government, right?
		We didn't want a king to rule over all of us, especially once we had started the new world.
		And yet we have this odd thing where we think the president is supposed to rule over all of us,
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		and that's not really the way it's supposed to be.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So if the states, if tonight, if everything else from this point after goes poorly,
unidentified		and I certainly hope that it does not, we'll just be operating the way we were supposed to operate,
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		which is that the states will kind of do their own different things,
		we will see different things.
		All right, I'm being told that the Georgia race right now is tightening Hershel Walker's with 45% reporting.
		Is that what I'm getting?
		Yeah, so with 36% reporting, so it's still not that much.
		Warnock is leading Walker by about 8 points, but it's only 36%.
unidentified		So it's still not that much.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Warnock is leading Walker by about eight points, but it's only 36%.
unidentified		It's only 36%.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So basically, yeah.
		So basically from everything I'm seeing here, there's been no disasters yet.
		So far so good, guys.
		You know, I'll throw in a couple comments from the locals, community, and then if the governor doesn't get up here soon, I think we'll probably end up cutting the stream and I'm gonna get out there and party with these people.
		They also got a pretty sweet food spread.
		Republicans don't mess around.
		It's all good out there.
		Jesse says, do you think there will be rioting when Republicans win the House and the Senate?
unidentified		Well, Jesse, let's just, let's just, let's pace it.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Let's see what happens.
		But look, I do honestly believe that using violence and occasionally releasing it when it feels necessary or prudent is one of the tools that the Democrats have.
		Why did we have all of those, that summer of peace, the riots all over these blue cities when Trump was president and then Biden becomes president and there's no more BLM, right?
		There's no more fighting over systemic racism.
		Antifa kind of disappears.
		It's like the Democrats use these people as foot soldiers.
		Is it coordinated, uncoordinated?
		It's a little hard to fully understand how they do it.
		But these are the same people.
		Maxine Waters, you know, get in their faces.
		AOC, the point of protest is to make people uncomfortable.
		They've instigated so much of this.
		The shooting of Steve Scalise, all of this stuff.
		And one of the things we'll have to decide, again, as the states maybe go in their separate ways, is we're not going to want much out of them.
		But they're going to want a bunch out of us.
		Wait a minute, I think we made a mistake earlier.
		JD Vance has not won yet, correct?
		Alright, so I think a mistake did get across before.
		Maybe it was that I couldn't hear properly, but the Ohio race is very early on.
		So I think I did say that earlier, and I apologize.
		There's obviously a lot going on here at once.
		Let's see, EK says, this is a little out of what's happening specifically tonight, I want to know how Dave keeps up his schedule and still looks happy and rested all the time.
		Well, I can definitely tell you in the last three months since Justin and Luke, I am not as rested as I used to be.
		But fortunately, we do have a nice amount of help and David's doing an incredible job.
		You know, I love what I do.
		That really is the truth.
		How could I not love what I'm doing right now, right?
		Like, this is the coolest gig in the world.
		Like, I'm literally sitting here in the state that I love, talking about stuff that I love, and fighting for the things that I believe in.
		Surrounded by people that I love.
		Not only who work with me, but who are in this audience.
		And being part of something that I think is important.
		Like that's the main thing that kind of gets me going.
		That really is the main thing.
		And I try to take that into all of the parts of my life that I can.
		And it's not to say that at times it isn't hard, or at times you're not going to believe this every now and again, someone online says something mean to me, but you know, you just get past it.
		But I think the other things are, I try to exercise every day, at least a half hour of cardio, I think that really helps.
		I try not to bring the telephone into the bedroom, I think that really helps.
		Try to eat right.
		Drink a decent amount of water.
		You know, I just, I've got good friends.
		I've got a good family.
		Yeah, things are good.
		Okay, so something has flipped a little bit here, but again, this is early with only 37%.
		Brian Kemp, obviously incumbent Republican, has the lead at 50%.
		Stacey Abrams at 49%.
		And again, that's one of the bizarre races because there was, you know, the media loved, loved, loved Stacey Abrams and then suddenly in the last two weeks they kind of got real quiet about her so who knows what's gonna happen there.
		Oh I see we're testing some cameras on the fly that could be interesting we might be able to get a camera to move within the room.
		The Herschel Walker Warnock race is also tightening about six points separate them but again it's very very early in people are screaming they're very happy here.
		Okay, and the Ohio race is just way too early.
		Alright, if you want to throw me a couple more questions, and then I think, we don't know what time this address is going to go, so there's obviously guys, I know you love me and I appreciate it, and I love you too.
		There's so many places that you can get full coverage of all of this.
		So my hope was that we could go until DeSantis comes out.
		But since they haven't even started the program, I suspect we're probably not going to do that.
		I might jump on and do some live streaming from my phone.
		I'll certainly be in the locals community talking to you guys.
		Try to do a live chat a little bit later and see what else is going on.
		Let's see, so I'll just do... We'll go for about five more minutes, and if we don't have word on DeSantis, I think we'll wrap up.
		All's good.
		Macy says, is David with you tonight?
		No!
		The two children did not want to come to the big election event and be in the car for four and a half hours from Miami to Tampa, so David is home with both babies.
		I have no doubt that I have 7,000 text messages with updates about boobs.
		She liked that one.
	She liked that one.
	Alright, yeah, we're getting these early results in Ohio, so I don't want to get too lost in all of that.
	Tim says, what are you drinking tonight?
	I have not drank anything yet tonight, but there's a full bar about two feet that way.
	There's bars throughout, and it really is a celebration here.
	And what was nice is it was a celebration from the second we got to the hotel, which is a couple blocks away.
	Everyone in the hotel lobby, you could feel it.
	People were just like, tonight's going to go well, at least here in the free state of Florida.
	And how cool to just plant our flag and be like, we're going to do it right here.
	And as I said, even if it doesn't, even though things are seemingly tracking well throughout the country, even if the night turns or we don't get results or whatever, you have to find those blips of goodness.
	And if you're watching this right now, and let's say you live in Cali, and I know a lot of you, Especially because I talk to you guys in the locals community.
	I know a ton of you have either left California or you're thinking of leaving to California.
	It's like by the end of tonight, as Newsom wins again, and LA probably sticks with this Democrat mayor and all this stuff, it's like you have a chance to pick up and go.
	And that's a beautiful thing.
	You can't do that in most countries in the world because they have more centralized governments than we have here in the United States.
	And that's also why the Democrats hate our system.
unidentified		And they're always trying to, we want to add Supreme Court justices.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We want to make D.C.
		a state.
		It's not because they want more involvement in the system.
		It's not because they want more choice and more freedom.
		It's because they want less choice.
		They want more calcification of the power structure over you.
		But there are blips.
		There are red, beautiful blips.
		And we're in one here in Florida.
unidentified		All right.
		All right.
		You got any other major updates for me otherwise?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I think we got something.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		We got something out of Michigan?
unidentified		We got something out of Michigan.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, it's not even worth reporting.
		Michigan, with 5% reporting, has Whitmer with a significant lead, 58 to 40.
		But that 5% reporting is literally nothing, so let's not worry about that.
		And there is no election data for the L.A.
		mayoral race either.
		Obviously, West Coast is three hours earlier, so it's only, what, it's only about 544 on the West Coast right now.
		So, you know what, guys?
		I think we're going to do this.
unidentified		I think we're going to... Governor's speaking in ten?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		The governor is speaking in ten minutes.
		That means, Dave, you're going to talk for ten more minutes.
		All right, all right.
		We're going to keep it going because I do think it'll be kind of cool if we can give you guys the live stream from this angle.
		It'll be totally different than anything else that you'll see on Network News.
		We're the only outfit here that's not, you know, the official stuff, right?
		Yeah.
		What's going on?
unidentified		So they're giving... Fox has given a quick update.
unidentified		Obviously Republicans having a nice night in the Congress.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Republicans... I actually couldn't see that last part, but it sounded like things are going pretty well.
		Isn't it fun, I suppose, to be watching something that's a little bit looser, and a little bit sane, and a little bit more real than whatever the robots on CNN and MSNBC are doing?
		With their charts, right?
		Oh, the white people live here, and white working class people are here, and black people are over here, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it's all just like, it's so boring and gross, and they get everything wrong, and they're so lost in the numbers.
		It's why on the show I try to talk about ideas More than I talk about numbers.
		Because I just think, I think ideas are what matter.
		Ideas are what, over time, turn states red, and wrong ideas, I suppose, turn states blue.
		Oh, we're getting some other numbers.
		I had an iPad.
unidentified		I lost my iPad.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Oh, he's got my iPad, okay.
unidentified		Can you guys even hear me?
unidentified		At this point, I'm not even totally sure if people can hear me.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You want to say hi to the people?
		Why don't you wait for a second?
		That's Connor's hand, everybody.
		You guys don't get to see that normally during the show because he's sitting behind the camera.
		He's a little camera shy.
		We'll see if Phoenix maybe wants to wave, too.
		Oh, we got people taking pictures of the camera right now.
		Sir, you're using your flash.
		He's using his flash.
		All right, so it sounds like Governor DeSantis is going to come out in about eight minutes, so if you can bear with me for eight more minutes off the cuff, on the fly, we'll get a couple more questions.
		All right, I'm getting some updates here.
		Don't worry, guys.
		Getting some updates.
		Things are being copied and pasted as we go right now.
		By the way, although we are in Tampa, which is about a four and a half hour drive, we are going to do a show tomorrow.
		So we're going to get up crack of dawn tomorrow.
		I don't know that we can make it for the 11 a.m.
		show.
		That might be pushing it, but we will be doing a live show tomorrow.
		Maybe we'll make it a happy hour show and hopefully there'll be plenty to celebrate.
		I also sense that tonight's going to be a bit of a late night.
		There will be plenty to celebrate and as I said the bar is two feet over there and I'm being told that they do have tequila.
		Let's see, Ryan in the locals community says JD Vance is encroaching on Tim Ryan.
		Do you think he's going to win tonight?
		I would be surprised if he does not.
		Look, this is one of those things where How many times did I say on the show in the last two weeks, we all live in our own bubble and I am just like you, right?
		I am a person just like you are.
		We all cater our news to ourselves.
		I do my best to get a plurality of voices and opinions and all of those things.
		I was trying to find people that really were supporting Tim Ryan to really get an understanding because it's clear to me why you would vote for JD Vance.
		If you're in Ohio and you're upset about the fentanyl, and you're upset about what's going on with the border and people that are moving all the way up there, and you're upset about what's happening to the economy there, like, it all makes sense.
		I don't know what the real argument for Tim Ryan is, but it sounds like it's going to be a close race.
		Oh, it looks like Marco Rubio is giving his acceptance speech right now.
		That is somewhere else here in the free state of Florida.
		And I have to say, I have to say, you know, I've gotten to know Senator Rubio a little bit.
		We've hung out a little bit.
unidentified		I've had him on the show a couple times.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		You know, he's really a nice guy.
		He's a decent guy.
		I'll tell you this, I don't even know that...
		He would fully want this to be said, but I was at a fundraiser a couple weeks ago where there were a whole bunch of Republicans there, big-time Republicans.
		Dr. Oz was there, and Adam Blacksalt was there, and J.D.
		Vance was there, and Blake Masters was there, and Senator Rubio.
		Major money people are there, and they were all there to give a talk and schmooze and raise funds and everything.
		And as the night began, Senator Rubio got up first.
		He said, I hope you guys don't mind if I just speak quickly and get going, but my son's football game is tonight.
		And he said, my son isn't the greatest, but he's playing tonight, and I really want to be there for that, because he doesn't play all the time.
		So he said, I hope you'll vote red.
		I hope you'll support me.
		And I hope you don't take offense that I'm going to get going.
		And he just left.
		And I thought it was actually really, like, nice and human and decent.
		And I don't know if he made any money that night.
		I don't know if his campaign people weren't thrilled.
		But he's been through the wringer, right?
		The guy's run for president.
		Trump banged him up pretty badly when he did that.
		You may remember that.
		But Trump's endorsing him now.
unidentified		And he won by a landslide here in Florida tonight.
unidentified		And Ron DeSantis is now up by 19 points.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		He owes me... I am getting a tomahawk from Governor DeSantis.
		I wish we had it on video.
		I'm telling you, I swear to God, guys, I said to Governor DeSantis on June 2nd, I said, you are going to win this state by 15 points.
		He laughed.
		Like, you know when he does that really loud laugh?
		He said, no, no, no.
		Six or seven.
		Six or seven.
		It looks like 19 points.
		And you know what?
		It could get wider because that's widening right now.
		We're at about 14, 15.
		It's widening because obviously Republicans We like to vote in person.
		We like the system.
unidentified		We want to strengthen the system.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So now that the mail-in ballots are getting out of the way, the early voting's getting out of the way, or the mail-in ballots, whatever, but the early voting, Republicans like day of voting, so just absolutely awesome.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Absolutely awesome.
unidentified		All right, so Congressman Byron Donalds is going to talk.
unidentified		Why don't we try to get me out of the way for a moment?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, here's what we're going to do, guys.
		I'm going to get out of the way so you can hear Congressman Byron Donalds.
		I think he may be bringing the governor on.
		If the audio is absolutely terrible, I may just come back for a sec and then we'll cut the feed again.
		We're doing this on the fly.
		We just felt like trying something a little bit different.
		I thank you guys for bearing with us.
		But let the congressman take it away.
		And one way or another, I think I'll be back in some form or another throughout the evening.
		Thanks for watching, everybody.
		God bless America.
		God bless the free state of Florida.
		And enjoy the rest of your evening, everybody.
unidentified		You know, I've been to a lot of states in the last two years.
		You know, I've been to a lot of states in the last two years.
		I've been told in Arizona, in Nevada, in Massachusetts, in Illinois, in North Carolina, in Georgia, in Texas,
		that a red wave is coming to the United States of America.
		And that red wave is starting right here in the great state of Florida.
		We have four new Republican members going to the House of Representatives tonight.
		We have our new colleague and your former Secretary of State, Laura Lee.
		A veteran of our military, Emporee Hills.
		A former servant of our great state of Tallahassee, Erin Maynard.
		And a personal favorite of mine as well, she's a rock star, you're going to hear her soon, Ms.
		Anna Pulley, y'all give her a round of applause.
		Did y'all just see what wonderful people y'all did?
		I mean, Of course, a million votes for him.
		Woo!
		Wilson Simpson is going to be our Agriculture Commissioner.
		He has re-elected the President as Attorney General of the United States of America.
		But look, he has the resistance.
		The top of the food chain is a guy who four years ago was newly elected Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
		He then became America's Governor Ron DeSantis.
		And he is now being crowned by me.
		This is all on top of my head, y'all.
		We have been crowned by me and the man who knows how to set Charlie Prince into permanent retirement.
		God bless you.
		Applause.
		None of this, none of this would have been possible without all of you.
		You are the ones who have knocked on the doors.
		You are the ones who made the calls.
		You are the ones who texted your friends.
		You are the ones who pushed somebody out of the front.
		You are the ones who broke the checks.
		We know who you are.
		We see you.
		We thank you.
		But more than that, You have told the rest of the country we are sick and tired
		of Democrat leadership and if you're enough, we don't want to see it anymore.
		You told the sound and clear they could keep their lockdowns in New York.
		You told the...
		You told them loud and clear they could keep kids out of class from Miss Chicago.
		I love you both. I love you both. I75 or I95 is the land of Miami International or Jacksonville International. You are
		now in the land of the free, which is the right to have votes.
		So now I have also a special joy because in a couple days we have to go back to Washington,
		and we get to look at the rostrum in the House of Representatives.
		Yeah, I guess they like that one.
		You are now fired by the American people.
		Yeah, I guess they like that one.
		I guess they like that one.
		You know, Chuck Schumer...
		Again, Chuck Schumer, but nobody wants to see him anyway.
		But we're going our way to take it back to the United States safe.
		But man, Flora, I gotta tell you.
		The one thing I'm really happy about tonight is I have to wait for Miami-Dade to report it.
		I mean, the people in Miami-Dade said, oh, uh-uh.
		Uh-uh.
		Uh-uh.
		Ron DeSantis kept our businesses open, and he's to be rewarded.
		And so, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages.
		Now, these are children running around the world at night, and they're getting all kinds of snacks every day.
		But I'm going to tell you right now, in a couple of moments, I'm trusting you, some very, very few moments.
		Shh.
		Don't give up, Ron.
		In a few moments, you are going to do the thing that the rest of America has been waiting to do.
		for the newly re-elected Democratian Freedom Standing for America's Governor Ron DeSantis.
		Thank you.
		Let me see what county this is.
	This is Davie County.
	All right, no votes are in, but what happened two years ago at the presidential level?
	Well, Trump was a big winner of that county.
	He took about 12,000, 15,000 votes total raw.
	Here we are.
	11,005.
	We're doing that recording.
	So that's out there.
	Let me come back out here.
	Do you mind, guys?
	And let me do the, uh, shoot.
	You did not work.
	You're good.
	I'm going to reload it for you.
	Why are you reloading?
	One thing that's pretty interesting about North Carolina, when Bill and I had an opportunity to talk to Ted Bugg,
	who was in town, he moved from Flushing to Barnard.
	And it's a state of the art, and it's as weird, apparently not as exciting.
	And basically, it's just, which is what respect the judge in North Carolina.
	One thing that's really happened in these cities, though, is the amount of people who have moved into Raleigh
	and Charlotte and that whole area, though, that has changed as a population.
	A lot of people are talking about how many people left New England or New York for Florida.
	And I found that changed something there.
	North Carolina, I don't have it this time around, but those big counties that Kellyanne mentioned,
	and those urban areas, I want to watch it while I'm here in my car.
	Yeah, but it's not only rural, it's just from the river,
	and this is our main way, main way, from here in Raleigh to Raleigh to Raleigh.
	The place that you're seeing here, on the downland end of the river,
	virtually all of the inland road is gonna be mainland balanced.
	Because they start processing from the mainland, they're bouncing over.
	Newsy is before the townships, is behind in these races,
	won by a small number of people.
	and several hundred thousands of those because the local economy is becoming
	an expert question.
	Just to cue Florida as a whole, Ohio, we're watching very closely,
	that's a Republican defense, but Pennsylvania also,
	the Republican seat, they're trying to hold onto it
	as is North Carolina.
	Yeah, I'm gonna have to offer you the political commentary.
	Okay.
	Maybe one time, but please, and I'm not saying you should,
	but the GOP's got this, Florida, Florida, Jerry Maynard.
	Well, that's a pretty big track, but then if it lets us talk about
	the Republican sauce too, that's accurate.
	It was really a big deal for a lot of us to see the open room,
	because the GOP has access to a lot of the new defense,
	so I want to let you know that it's really important here
	to a lot of us in this room.
	And so, I mean, it's amazing that even with a lot of the cuts,
	we did not get a lot of the cuts to the actual fights.
	And some of the communities that see the cuts,
	they're like, except for our North Carolina team,
	it's not a big deal.
	I mean, we're talking about getting the team to be together
	and having a good roster.
	We're going to begin here in Battle Ground State of Arizona.
	It is 9 o'clock in the east and voltages close in 15 more states.
	We're gonna begin here in battleground state of Arizona, where a Democrat Senator Mark Kelly and Republican venture
	capitalist, Blake Master, are in very tight race.
	Over in Wisconsin, in Colorado Republican Senator Mark Johnson, Democrat Lieutenant Governor Mandela Bronx,
	also locked in a very close race in Wisconsin.
	In Colorado, also a two-thirdly call here by Democrat Senator Michael Fedde.
	We lose at this point Republican Kaleena Jo Jay, who is a local business owner, independent type Republican,
	has a good chance to take that seat.
	We can project that in Iowa, the Huffington and Chuck Grassley has a solid lead in the incentive race.
	The flexibility to election he will become, if not restored in the sitting Senate.
	In New York, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer will win his fifth term in office.
	Senator Gerald Grant will win his third term in office.
	Senator John Holden has to leave, but we do not have enough data to make that call.
	Republicans want to vote for the two-member Senator Gerald Grant.
	We'll win as they're trying to win us.
	There's a code that can project that Republican Senator John Holton
	has to leave, but we do not have an update yet to make that call.
	And Republican Senator John Finnan has won reelection in South Dakota.
	As we head to the ballots, we'll come up in the Senate.
	We're taking down a few Democrats with 39, Republicans with 33,
	we have a majority of 51.
	Republicans, again, holding those seats in Florida, they're looking at Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina,
	but they're leaving with their golf seats.
	And now we're versus the other side.
	and 9-0-1, and we're gonna see what just sits there for a really long time, and it's gonna represent.
	We're going through those numbers.
	One, number 18, Washington, just sits there for a really long time
	in the middle of the Senate.
	So let's take a look at this.
	So let's take a look at this.
	In New York, we have a big hotline, really, personally, while we're trying to think of a crime issue.
	In New York, this has become a really closely watched likely war crime issue.
	In New York, we have a comment from Captain Bill McCarthy.
	In New York, they are coming.
	Cathy Hillmore has a meeting at this point against the New Belgians,
	At this point, against the New Delta, we have a new townhouse in Hawthorne,
	now here in the town of Chicago, where we have this really meaningful force
	and we have a community of people that we have really worked with
	that we have really been working on for 20.
	and have money, so we will see how this all goes.
	So we will see how this all goes, but that's where it stands at the moment.
	Arizona, the Republican contest, a two-way call goes between Governor Sanchez,
	State Senator Hobbs, and Republican Kelly.
	The Michigan-based Democratic Congress, Whitmer has a slight lead,
	that race to the polls.
	And in Wisconsin, there's a between Governor Tom Inouye, who's his opponent, Tim Michaels,
	and the Republican, two-way call there.
	Just like in the Senate, another very tight race.
	Texas, the Republican governor, Greg Abbott, has a lead Republican, two-way call.
	In Kansas, we've got a new judge, a new state, and then we've got a governor,
	a new one, Kelly, all around the Republican-type race.
	Democrats have a lot of hopes around Kansas.
	In Minnesota, the Democratic race, Democratic incumbent Tim Walz has a lead against his Republican challenger, Scott Jensen.
	And in New Mexico, I have David Lett to call this race.
	This is a showdown between Democratic incumbent Michelle Unan-Person and Republican candidate Barack Machado.
	And so the Rocky Mountains and Oklahoma's incumbent governor, Jared Polin, will defeat GOP candidates.
	Tighten it up.
	In South Dakota, a lot of people have projected a win in governor's race between incumbent Kristi Noem and Democratic challenger Jamie Smith, but none does lead at this time.
	of the Southern.
	So high level, we can project that Republican being part of the CUNY.
	We will try to work with the CUNY for a second term.
	And in Alaska, Republican Judy Conway is in the lead again tomorrow fall.
	Especially in Wyoming, where there are a lot of disgruntled people, apparently, going to a high school
	and they're projecting that Republican Dr. Clark Gordon will be closer to another term, or maybe still
	a candidate for the CUNY.
	And I'm going to be in the middle for a little bit.
	But I'm not going to say anything.
	I'm going to say, you know, we're going to do, we're going to do a little bit of a push-up.
	We're going to do a little push-up.
	and the staff who's got a good stand on these.
	I don't think government has a right to put these people out of work.
	The chance that I am going to back down from my commitment to students and back down from my commitment to parents'
	rights, the chances of that are extremely slim.
	Play every retiree after having a good life.
	I have my brothers, you know, you take them and you chuck them across the entire country.
	It's a fake narrative.
	I'm just going to accuse you of a narrative that you don't care about at all.
	I don't care what corporate media outlets say.
	I don't care what Hollywood says.
	I don't care what big corporations say.
	Here I stand.
	I'm not backing down.
	We are going to carry this torch of freedom onward, and because our mission is very simple, we are keeping the state of Florida free.
	Thank you all!
	Ladies and gentlemen, Governor Ron DeSantis.
	♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah.
	Well, thank you so much.
	You know, over these past four years, we've seen major challenges for the people of our state, for the citizens of the United States, and above all, for the cause of freedom.
	We saw freedom in our very way of life, and so many other jurisdictions in this country wither on the vine.
	Florida held the line.
	We chose facts over fear.
	We chose education over indoctrination.
	We chose law and order over rioting and disorder.
	Florida was a refuge of sanity when the world went mad.
	We stood as a citadel of freedom for people across this country and indeed across the world.
	We faced the task.
	We took the hit.
	We weathered the storms.
	But we stood our ground.
	We did not back down.
	We had the conviction to guide us, and we had the courage to lead.
	We make promises.
	We make promises to the people of Florida and we have delivered on those promises.
	Today, after four years, The people have delivered their verdict.
	Freedom is here to stay!
	Thanks to the overwhelming support We not only want Lexington, we want to be written with a
	little more power.
	Thank you for honoring us with a win for the ages.
	I thank all of our campaign staff, from campaign manager Genera Pat Down,
	who just won the front campaign in the history of the Florida Power.
	I want to thank all of our wonderful volunteers who worked so hard to get out the vote.
	Your support means the world to Casey and I. God bless you and thank you.
	I would like to thank Mr. Ramani Jain for being here today.
	I would not have been able to receive the level of accomplishments that we saw
	unless I had outstanding personnel working in the executive office of the governor,
	as well as heading state agencies.
	These folks worked hard to implement our agenda.
	They believed in our agenda and the results have been historic.
	Thank you for your support.
	Thank you.
	Oh, yeah.
	Thank you.
	Thank you to Miami-Dade County.
	Thank you to Palm Beach County.
	Thank you to Palm Beach County.
	Now, we're still tackling the votes, but it's clearly apparent that this election, people have garnered a significant number of votes from people who may not have voted for me four years ago.
	I just want to let you know, I am honored to have earned your trust and your support.
	Thank you.
	And most important of all, thank you to the people of the United States of America for
	your support.
	Thank you.
	to the greatest First Lady in all of history.
	For being a great wife, giving them way great support, being a tremendous mother to our
	three young children, and serving as an example for women throughout this state, especially
	going through the battle of cancer.
	She is remarkable.
	And now, today...
	Nancy! Nancy! Nancy! Nancy!
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I think maybe I'm on with the Blaze guys.
unidentified		Now today is the culmination of the 2022 fall elections.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it's going to be a little tricky to hear you guys, but I'm going to do my best.
unidentified		They've been voting with their feet.
		And the results of that behavior has been just as stark as our landslide victory today.
		States and cities governed by leftist politicians have seen crimes skyrocket.
		They've seen their taxpayers abused.
		They've seen medical authoritarianism imposed.
		And they've seen American principles discarded.
		The woke agenda has caused billions of Americans to leave these jurisdictions for brainer bastards.
		Now this great exodus of Americans For those folks, Florida, for so many of them, has served as the promised land.
		We have embraced freedom.
		We have maintained law and order.
		We have protected the rights of parents.
		We have respected our taxpayers.
		And we reject woke ideology.
		Well, I can talk to the camera right now while we're waiting, right?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright guys, so I'm waiting.
		I can't hear anything.
		I'm supposed to be jumping on with the Blaze guys in a minute.
		The crowd's going nuts behind us.
		The governor is talking.
unidentified		I hate to be talking while the governor is talking, but we're trying to jump on with the governor.
unidentified		People have come here because our policies work.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Here's what we're going to do, since I can't hear because it's so loud here, you'll just give me a thumbs up when the Blaze guys throw to me and I'll just say hi to Glenn and everybody and see what happens.
		It's going to be hard to hear everybody.
		I hope you're appreciating the alternate version at the different angle that you're getting here, seeing this a little bit differently than normal.
		A little hard, I've got to voice it.
		I got the governor in that ear.
		There's a lot going on, but it's a big party here.
		People, obviously, feeling great about things.
		And it's also great, I should say, it's great to see the First Lady out there, KC DeSantis, obviously, her cancer in full remission and incredible recovery by her.
unidentified		And then to be out and about is just absolutely awesome.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		So I'm just going to be quiet for a moment so you can hear the governor, and then I'll hopefully be able to hear the Blaze folks when they chime in.
unidentified		We offer a ray of hope that better days still lie ahead.
		I am proud of our achievements in this state.
		I am honored by your support, and I look forward to the road ahead.
		I have fought the good fight.
		I have finished the race in this first circle.
		That's right!
		We've accomplished more than anybody thought possible four years ago,
		but we've got so much more to do, and I have only begun to fight.
		Jeff Washington, number one, number one, number one, number one, number one.
		Thank you.
		Thank you.
		That's my Blaze audio check for those of you watching at home.

		This is pure joy in this room right now.
		Sweet Florida, indeed.

dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Alright, alright, I'm gonna get ready.
unidentified		In a minute... Daphne, you just give me a thumbs up when I'm on, because it's gonna be hard to hear.
		Wow, he's such a great singer.
		It's good that they heard the first take.
		Alright, I think I'm on with...
		Am I on with the Blaze guys?
		I'm on with the Blaze guys.
		Glenn, I don't think I'm going to be able to hear you.
		It is absolute pandemonium here.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		Governor DeSantis just left the state about 20 seconds ago with the First Lady and his kids.
		Glenn, I gotta tell you, and I wish I could hear you, and hopefully my guys, maybe they can tell me what you're saying on the iPad.
		It is so loud in here.
		People are so appreciative of being free.
unidentified		Alright, I'll shake your hand.
unidentified		Okay.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's just absolute joy in here.
unidentified		Florida has done it right.
unidentified		This is the blueprint for America.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It's why I left California and why I moved to the free state.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It sort of feels like a culmination of all of the things that I've been talking about for years and taken root here.
unidentified		All the things that you've been talking about way before me.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And the joy of the fight is here.
unidentified		I hope the rest of the night It continues to go well for Republicans, but no matter what happens here on out, we have a beacon of hope.
unidentified		And I think that's what maybe we've all needed more than anything else.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And Glenn, if you want to chime in, I'll try to have my guys type it out so that I can read it, at least.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I can see you, but I don't know.
unidentified		Hi, how are you?
		I love you, too.
		All right, good to see you, man.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		All right, Phoenix will type it out.
unidentified		Yeah, Glenn, you can go ahead.
		You're welcome.
		It's a lot.
		♪ We are the world ♪ Alright, okay, we tried it with the Blaze.
		Glenn, I hope you could hear something I was saying.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		On that note, guys, I know this was a little messy, but I've enjoyed every moment of it.
unidentified		I hope you have, too.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I hope you got to see things from a little bit of a different perspective.
		And really, just how cool, how cool.
		I lived in California less than a year ago.
		Less than a year ago.
unidentified		Hi, how are you?
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		And there's just such goodness here, and let's see how the rest of the night goes.
unidentified		But even if you're living in a place that isn't having great results, although everything's looking pretty good at the moment, just know there are beacons of hope.
		If you live in America, you've got the foot vote.
		You can make choices for yourself.
		You can live how you want to live.
		You can find freedom.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		It might be in sweet Florida, or maybe it's in Tennessee or Texas, or it might be above that.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I love this country.
unidentified		I love this state.
		I love you guys.
		Thanks for watching.
		Hi!
		Thank you guys.
		We'll play out to the music for a couple minutes.
dave rubin ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to that bar.
		I'm going to the fancy bar over there.
