Time Text
This isn't iHeart Podcast.
Well, welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.
This is our three of a great experiment that Sean Hannity has decided to do a great risk to his uh career and show by turning the reins over to his home state governor, which is me, uh Governor Ron DeSantis, and I'm proud that Sean is a Florida resident after many years of haggling and telling him he needed to do it, and I'm happy to be with you here today.
So uh I was down during spring training in March.
I was down in Fort Myers for uh the Red Sox versus the Orioles, and I've got uh former I was a college baseball player, got former college teammates who are involved in in Major League Baseball in the front office.
So I was down there uh seeing them, go going to the game.
But before I went to the game, we stopped and had a bite to eat, and um I'm leaving the restaurant, there's all these people around the bar, and I see they all have Red Sox stuff, and I hear, you know, in the Boston accent, governor, governor, and I'm looking and I'm like, oh my gosh, I don't know what I'm in for.
And they were like, send more illegals to Matha's Vineyard, send more to Matha's Vineyard.
And I was thinking to myself, you know, here I am as the governor of Florida.
We have this massive problem, you know, with illegals pouring into this country because of what Biden's done.
And I'm one of the few Republicans that's done anything about it, and we've done the boats to stop the boats coming in on our coast, and we just did uh a major legislation in the past banning sanctuary cities, all these other things.
Texas has built wall, there's been other things of some, but really we need the folks in Congress uh to be fighting by on our behalf by using the power of the purse to defund Biden's unconstitutional immigration program.
And unfortunately, even though Republicans control the House of Representatives, there are not enough Republicans who are willing to do what James Madison and our founder said you needed to do, uh, which is use the purse strings and take that money away from the executive so that the executive stops abusing the Constitution's office.
Well, I'm happy to say I have two Congressmen that are here joining us who actually get it, who've been who've been fighting the fight and have been leaning in on all these battles on their constituents' behalf on your behalf.
And so we're joined by from uh Texas uh Congressman Chip Roy and fresh off another landslide victory.
We have the electoral drug or not himself, Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky.
So so welcome, gentlemen.
And uh, well, Thomas, since you uh won yet another uh big election, I'll I'll give it to you first.
You got a lot of folks out here that are looking at this saying, wait a minute, Biden's doing all this.
Why are they giving him so much money if Republicans control the House?
Great, great question, Governor.
There are seven things that Biden can do.
So let's just say, first of all, when he says he can't do anything without us, he could do seven different things without us in catch and release, uh reinstate, remain in Mexico, rein in taxpayer funded benefits, you know, big list of that.
But Congress could stop him right now using the power of the purse.
I remember having breakfast with uh Justice Scalia when Boehner was our speaker and Obama was in the White House, and um the question at breakfast was what are you gonna do, Scalia, to rein in the constitutional balance of government or to reestablish it?
And Scalia said, You're the most powerful branch.
Why are you asking me in the judiciary branch to referee this?
And uh one of our colleagues said, Wait, um impeachment's too hard to pull off, uh, you know, because Scalia said it's in the Constitution, everything you need.
And uh Scalia said, I'm not talking about impeachment.
You guys have the power of the purse, and you're complaining about everything Obama's doing, but you're funding it.
And here we find ourselves in the same very similar situation.
Republicans control the House.
We have the power of the purse.
There's a Democrat in the White House, and we're complaining about the things he's doing, but we are funding these things.
So Yeah, I mean, I I I you know that there was the news about in 2023, he would he and I still think he's doing this, but we got the data 2023, he's granting parole to people in other countries illegally doing this, and then flying them into the country.
And he wouldn't be able to Do that if he didn't have funding.
So Chip Roy, uh, I know you've been fight fighting this fight.
Um it seems like in the last few months, uh the wheels have kind of come off in terms of any type of spending restraint or any type of constitutional accountability.
And it seems like you guys, and I know you were fighting the opposite side of this, but it seems like you guys have given up your leverage uh between now and the election.
Uh Governor, great to be on.
Congratulations, Thomas on the great win.
You know, the only thing uh you know riskier for uh Sean's reputation of of having you host governors is inviting Thomas and I on.
Uh that's that's gonna, you know.
Amen to that.
But look, um Thomas is right, and obviously I feel this very personally as a as representative from Texas, as you know, and we've talked about together uh many times, but just consider some facts that you know, Bill Meludic, who obviously reports on this great uh uh for Fox, you know, last night reported 2 a.m.
We had uh people from uh Iran, from Pakistan, from numerous uh uh state sponsors of terror that were stopped in California just last night with no Mexican nationals.
This is the reality of what's happening at our southern border.
Uh we had a witness who came in and testified from Kinney County, Texas, which is you know, kind of west of San Antonio, close to the along the border.
And they testified that in 2021, they had about a hundred and fifty uh criminal prosecutions.
Last year they had six thousand seven hundred.
The reason I bring this up, this is ongoing.
We still have like 5,000 ish a day.
We still have what you alluded to, Governor, which a lot of the listeners, I mean, you know, Sean's audience is very smart but and knows this information.
But you know, we've got uh people being paroled into the United States with just blatant disregard for the law, and they can end run the visuals of having mountains of people down at the river all you know uh amassed, and so they're able to just fly them in, like you said, often frankly, a lot of those requirement Florida and to Texas and all over the country, and doing that hides it from the American people.
So to the question And in fact, it it it it it you know it it's an illegitimate use of power, but they are given documents.
They are just put on commercial flights.
So if someone flies into Austin, Texas or Miami, Florida or New York City, uh they have documents, uh, they go through customs, and you don't know 300 people who is part of this program or not.
It's just done, and they're not keeping track of it.
So I I and we already know some of the people Biden has has done this for are facing criminal charges for things like sexually assaulting uh minors.
So this is an absolute travesty that this is allowed uh to go on.
The individual who was released into the United States that let that ultimately killed Lake and Riley, that was a person that was released under parole.
So to the point that what you asked, yes, we've given uh given up all our leverage by not using the power of the purse when we passed a massive omnibus spending bill that busted the caps.
We said we wouldn't fund Ukraine without making sure our border was secure first.
Those were all things that we just did.
And we did it with majority Democrat votes.
It was a mistake.
Thomas and I have been very vocal about this.
Um, you know, I hope we can get back on track and do the right thing between now and November.
We've got to convince Americans that we'll do what we said we would do.
But frankly, we're allowing the swamp to do swamp things.
The good news is many of us are exposing it in ways that have never been exposed before.
And no, I think it's so we uh in Florida, for example, uh, we've been ha you know suing Biden for years over this stuff.
We're suing him over good catch and release, and we've actually won some some victories, but it gets tied up.
Uh we're suing them on the illegal parole program.
We're doing that.
We're taking action and ordinance, for example.
We're saying if you bring in illegals to Florida, you're gonna face consequences.
Court just just enjoying that, believe it or not.
And so we're fighting all these, uh, but it just seems to me that our founders would look at that and they'd say, okay, states can do this, but reality is if he does not have uh the money to do it, that he can't do it.
I think you guys have been, you two have been been very strong on this.
So what does it look like?
You have um uh massive amounts of debt, inflationary spending.
Uh it's it seems to me that the border issue, Chip, I think you're right, it's raging worse than ever.
It seems like the media is really working to downplay it.
I don't know that it's the same in the public consciousness the way it was.
I mean, when we did the Martha's Vineyard, that raised it.
Something like Lake and Riley, those tragic situations raises the villa visibility.
Seems like the media is gonna really work throughout the balance of this election cycle to to try to ignore uh what's happening at the border in order to help Joe Biden.
Yeah, and you're gonna have Republicans who are gonna make it sound more complicated that it then it is.
They're gonna say, we can't do that.
But Governor, you were in Congress and you remember the appropriations process, and you can stop any of these things with one sentence in a bill.
You just say none of the money hereby appropriated can't be used to fund, and then you put whatever you want to stop in the blank.
End the catch and you know, none of the money can be used to uh fund the catch and release policy.
None of the money can be used for this expanded parole authority.
None of the money can be used for the plane flight.
It's that simple, and they're gonna try and make it sound complicated.
We've got another bite at the Apple.
Unfortunately, it's not until September when the funding comes due.
People say, how are you going to get this past the Senate?
The Senate always passes a funding bill.
Just put these sentences in there.
You know, I hear though, you guys have a narrow majority.
And trust me, I was working in Florida.
You know, we added four Republicans to your delegation just from Florida.
You wouldn't even have the majority now if it wasn't for that.
So I understand you know it's important to have the majority.
Oh, the majority's narrow.
The Democrats, they had 50 senators Biden's first two years.
He got almost everything he wanted through.
They have 51 senators now.
You don't ever hear them complain about narrow majority.
They just do what they want to do.
And I guess, Chip, it goes down to if you guys were to send a funding bill like Thomas alluded to, defunding the unconstitutional behavior.
I guess the fear of Republican leadership is the Democrats and the Senate would balk at it.
It could lead to a lapse in appropriations, and that somehow that'd be a problem.
But I think you guys win that fight in terms of the border to say that Biden's not willing to fund all the other things that the American people would want, like military, uh, because he's insisting on an open border.
Uh, you guys had the upper hand in terms of the public debate on that, and you didn't want to use it.
Yeah, Governor, you're right.
I think Thomas would agree with us.
I think the problem that you just had a key phrase, right?
You know, we we could actually win that fight, you said.
But here's the key.
You gotta want to pick the fight.
You gotta believe in what you're trying to accomplish.
And I think we're growing the number of Republicans who actually believe in wanting to accomplish these things and are willing to risk their precious to quote Lord of the Rings, their precious election certificate, if they uh, you know, to actually try to accomplish something.
But if you can't fight on this, then what are you gonna fight on?
This is an existential issue for you're either a country or you're not.
You can't allow all these hostile nations to send people here.
And so I wish more folks would follow your lead.
Well, we're gonna hold you over the over till the next break.
I want you guys, I know you're working on a bunch of other stuff, so I'm gonna give you each 30 seconds to just talk about different initiatives.
I mean, I know Chip defunding the UN, Thomas is working on a lot of stuff.
Uh, so we'll have you back.
And I will say this, you know, I know Chip is from Texas and uh and Chip, Chip's uh a golfer.
If that would have happened at the PGA championship with Scotty Scheffler, if that something like that happened in Florida, we would have ended that controversy in 30 minutes.
I mean, I think it was just ridiculous.
And so we would uh we would have rolled with that and taken care of business.
So we'll be back on the other end uh of the break and uh we'll hear from our congressman.
Thanks.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond, and I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional tests.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

Well, we're back on the Sean Hannity show.
This is Governor Ron DeSantis.
I'm here with Congressman Thomas Massey from Kentucky and Congressman Chip Roy from Texas, both of whom uh are very active.
They're they're both very strong constitutionalists.
They understand what the country's all about, and they're fighting to make sure that we restore what's great about our country.
They also have a lot of good ideas and uh a lot of um uh initiatives that they want to push.
I want to give each of you 60 seconds to talk about uh some of the things you're working on.
I know, Chip, I've heard you talk about defunding the United Nations and a bunch of other stuff.
I know Thomas has a lot of stuff.
So Chip, I'll start with you.
Um what do you got uh in the hopper?
If you were speaker, what would you be bringing to the floor?
Well, well, thanks, Governor.
And and uh Thomas and I are probably co-sponsor almost all these bills with each other.
I've I've got to defund the UN, he's been very big on that.
We do that and talk about it together.
Mike Lee has that in the Senate.
Uh I've got a bill to defund the World Health Organization.
I've had that for a long time.
They're about to implement their crazy radical uh stuff that in interferes with our sovereignty, and we ought to be doing more about that.
I think we ought to lead on that in the House.
We also have a legislation that I do hope we'll move, uh the Save Act, which will require proof of uh of citizenship, uh documentation uh if you vote in federal elections.
I think we got to do that.
There's too many states, uh, including and then also the nation's capital, they're trying to end run uh the law, the current law, which requires you to be a citizen, but there's no ability to enforce it.
So we're working on that.
We've got other good bills um that uh that I think are critically important.
Um, Alec Thomas has got some great bills.
I'll let him talk about that.
I I mean it deal with the extent to which you've got this massive corporate cronyism taking over ability to have farmers and get food to the table uh that I'm uh strongly supportive of, but I'll let him talk more about that.
There's a lot of things we could do to break down this bureaucracy up here and fight uh to get good policies if we're willing to do it.
Yeah, no.
Well, well, look, in Florida, you don't have to worry about uh illegals voting here because we prosecute that and we've done that.
We didn't do it before I was governor, now we do it, and it's made a huge, huge impact.
All right, Congressman Massey, over to you.
What do you got on the agenda?
Yeah, I'm I'm ticking off the corporations up here because uh want to empower small farmers.
I just re-introduced a bill that you were a co-sponsor of when you were in Congress to uh get the FDA out of regulating and arresting farmers for interstate uh commerce for for moving raw milk across state lines.
It seems like a simple thing.
The federal government shouldn't be involved in the the food decisions and things like that.
So it's a raw milk interstate freedom act.
Um another one that uh want to mention, because I heard you advertise gold and silver during the break.
I just introduced a bill.
This hasn't been introduced in ten years to end the Federal Reserve.
Uh devalued the dollar in the last four years, 25%, and they monetize the debt.
Uh they robbed seniors.
You got a lot of those in Florida of their um savings by, you know, running up inflation.
So I think we're coming up on a break, but um, I know a lot of people will be interested in hearing about all those issues.
More from you guys.
Thank you, Chip Roy, Thomas Massey for fighting the good fight, and we'll be right back with Surgeon General Joseph Ladipo from this great state of Florida.
Well, welcome back.
This is the third hour of the Sean Hannity show.
I am filling in for one of my newly minted constituents.
I'm Governor Ron DeSantis from Florida.
And there, you know, leadership part of that when you're fighting the left is to just look you can tell what they're up to if you really watch.
And there's certain groups and organizations that I think will tip their hand.
Uh groups like the World Economic Forum.
Yeah, these guys fly into Davos, and they have a lot of different plans to be able to control your behavior.
You look at the World Health Organization, there's a treaty that's being proposed.
They call it a pandemic treaty.
It's really a lockdown treaty.
It would take American sovereignty and transfer it to a bunch of unelected bureaucrats at the World Health Organization.
Now in Florida, we've looked at things like that and passed legislation to block that from ever being implemented in Florida.
We block the pandemic, uh the lockdown WHO lockdown treaty, sign legislation saying we do not recognize that in the state of Florida, no matter what Joe Biden does.
Uh We've also taken action against things like ESG and all the ideological joy rides that a lot of these elites want to go on.
The state of Florida is not some chew toy for your ideological agenda.
So we're gonna lean in on this and we're gonna make make sure that we're doing it.
And this whole idea of the lockdown brings up all the different things that have been done over the last few years with respect to medical.
And of course during COVID this was this was so many different things, but we see it even to the present and every single thing we did in Florida saying schools had to be open, saying we're not going to force you to wear a mask, uh saying that they can't force you to take a MNRA shot, saying that you should um um the the talking about the risk of the MNRA shot.
Uh everything we would do there'd be a massive spasm by the media a lot of the entrenched bureaucratic class would would go crazy and then six, nine months a year later it would come out that Florida was right.
Nobody says that we were wrong to have schools open today.
They all said that at the time nobody says it now when we were saying you shouldn't be forced to take an MNRA shot, we were roundly condemned in Florida.
We passed legislation blocking the mandates from both businesses and government and now you're in a situation where only the most liberal universities are indulging in the nonsense that you would do and so uh there weren't a lot of people uh in the medical profession who were willing to stand up and speak the truth during the dark days of COVID and even into the present but one guy who's been willing to do that is the Surgeon General of the state of Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo.
Now uh Joe came to Florida from UCLA I mean he had a a great career you know tenured research all this stuff MD PhD from Harvard uh and and he came into Florida uh during COVID and I told him I said you're gonna be the only surgeon general that's going to be willing to take these tough stands you better have thick skin and you better buckle up because they're gonna come after you and they have come after him.
But you know what?
He's been proven right on all these different things and so uh Dr. Ladipo welcome to the Sean Hannity program.
Oh thanks Governor thank you.
It's it's uh this is this is cool.
We gotta do you got to do this more often.
Well you um I I remember being um at a school with you a few years ago and we we were saying kids needed to be in school don't uh if one kid tests positive you can't send healthy kids home for two weeks we said kids should not be wearing masks in school all these different things and I think you were attacked on every single one of them.
them.
Of course, I was attacked.
But you were right on those things.
And then more recently, you were really the only major person in a position of authority that has sounded the alarm on some of the things with these COVID jabs.
So can you go into kind of what the state of that is?
Because I kind of feel like the media is now more interested in acknowledging some of the risks associated in a way that they weren't a year or two years ago when you were
were raising questions yeah oh thanks Governor I mean I I want to say I so appreciate you offering me the position because I you know I'd still be out in LA right now dealing with all the all the craziness there and just turning my head if you hadn't um offered me the the opportunity to to be the Surgeon General of Florida.
You'd be wearing a mask going to work every day at UCLA probably I'm sure a lot of your former colleagues are doing that can you imagine?
Well you know these I mean the these MRNA COVID 19 vaccine shots you're right they're so unpopular I mean I mean only the most like either liberal or older people who have kind of they're on their fifth booster or something and they think they just keep need to keep getting them are getting them at this point.
And you know and you're right.
Now you hear hear Chris Cuomo talking about some risks and it sounds like he may have had uh a bad reaction that he attributes to the COVID 19 vaccine.
Dr. one of my former professors actually when I was a grad student at Harvard, he's talking about it on TV about how well, you know, we should be doing more for people who have been injured.
And you know, these these uh these little admissions are they they're obviously totally dishonest, right?
Where were these people when you know different people were complaining about um not feeling they were being treated well when they were forced to take them?
People were complaining about adverse reactions that were serious, and they were you know, they were gaslit.
They were told that you know they're they're safe and effective.
That's all you heard.
And that's not been the case.
They're actually not safe.
They're completely not safe.
That's part of the reason they're so unpopular.
And in Florida, we've based on the data, uh, we don't think they're appropriate for anyone because the benefits just do not outweigh the risk for any populations at this point.
And are you uh we're probably the only state uh where the Surgeon General has been willing to say that that they shouldn't be taken?
I know some of the European countries are are aligned with you, but probably not in the United States, right?
Yeah, it's just I mean it's it's really sad because it's not like it's it's really it's not a it's not secret.
I mean, everyone knows that they're almost no one is actually a big fan of them.
And that actually goes, believe it or not, the surveys from Rav Musin, I think, show that both both people who are liberal and conservative, Democratic and Republican, believe that they've injured people, considerable proportions of people even think that that they know people who have died because of them.
And I and I'm I'm sh there's no doubt that that's the case.
That's absolutely the case that that these uh these MRNA COVID 19 vaccines have killed people.
So it's not this is not it's not secret data.
It's it's just an open secret, and uh, but unfortunately, other medical leaders uh I mean to my I'm it's very disheartening, but unfortunately they're just people are just afraid to speak up.
Is that is that because of the the the power of the pharmaceutical industry?
Or I mean, is that a part of it?
Um some of it may be ideological because during COVID, one of the frustrating things were uh Florida would have kids in school.
We'd go two weeks, four weeks, six weeks, the world didn't end.
Life went on, and I figured, well, every other state's gonna have to follow suit, and yet you had people six, nine months a year in chill trying to say schools needed to be closed against all evidence.
And so how would you assess the role of both uh the power of big pharma but also the role of ideology that has really gotten into the medical profession?
Big pharma's huge.
They're not only in the medical profession, but they're in medical education.
And it's uh it's a it's a it's a big problem.
And you know, we wouldn't we don't need to go into all of the details, but uh people should understand that unfortunately, you know, when you talk about these common problems like put a COVID aside, high blood pressure, um, high cholesterol, uh obesity.
Everyone, you know, the the the education pushes people to think meds first, but we shouldn't be doing that.
That's the effect of pharma.
Obviously, the thing to do is to is to think lifestyle changes first.
But pharma has such a powerful effect, and they have such a powerful influence on education in the media, and in addition, there, you know, people are just afraid to speak up because they know that you know they're gonna get unfriendly articles written about them in the media.
Uh, you know, they'll be called names, they'll be labeled anti-science or anti-vax or whatever the you know, whatever the label is is in fad at the time, but you can't not do the right thing because people are gonna call you names.
You need to do the right thing.
And you know, Florida's so lucky.
I mean, so lucky.
The world is lucky that they have you who was willing to do the right thing and is willing to do the right thing, despite, I mean, you were getting hampered.
I remember being in California and listening to the news, and I mean they would just they were coming for you hammered with every step.
But everything you did was absolutely the right thing to do.
And people just uh you know, I wish I want more people, I wish more people were willing to do that.
So uh I mentioned at the top of this block the uh WHO lockdown treaty, and you know, we passed legislation in Florida preventing that uh implementation in our state.
But on what possible planet would it be a good idea for the United States of America to give up some of its sovereignty to the unelected bureaucrats at the WHO who were instrumental in pushing the failed lockdowns.
It's completely nuts.
And it's uh it's also sad because it's very un-American and anti-Americanism.
I mean, these the WHO, you know, I've looked at drafts of these treaties, and they want this power to clear a pandemic, you know, to you know, to and they use language that makes it sound as if it's not ominous or not uh threatening to sovereignty, but it absolutely is.
And I I don't know how you can love people and love your country, whatever country you're in, and want to be a part of that.
I mean, world government isn't the purpose of the world.
The purpose of the world is for human beings to make the greatest impact they can uh while they're on the planet.
And you can't do that when people are being forced to defer to some world government.
And this world government fantasy of uh of people who you know don't believe in human sovereignty and don't believe in human in the independence and and human autonomy um is just a real it's a real problem, and that's where this WHO nonsense comes from.
Yeah, I remember when uh you first came on board, we we we did a press conference, and you were talking about what's important in public health are things like exercise, nutrition, freedom, uh ability to pursue dreams,
and and the media was like looking like cross-eyed, because I think their view was public health is all about jamming vac uh uh the the M NRA vac down down people, you know, in the arms or whatnot, and that was not something that that you thought it was appropriate.
And so you've um uh you know they've come after you.
And I always tell people, um, I know Joe Ladapoe's doing a good job when he's being attacked by MSNBC and CNN and the likes.
If they're going after him, I know he's doing the right thing.
So I appreciate your service to the state of Florida.
I kind of get a kick when we're out on the road.
Um, you know, you get the uh the folks coming up to you thanking you, and uh you've made a difference for for our state, and so uh I know we've got more work ahead.
Uh we do have this uh the COVID grand jury that that's meeting and will likely come out uh with some reports very soon, and I know you and I will be involved in that.
So uh so thanks for what you've done for the state of Florida.
Uh, and we will be back on the other side of this break to wrap things up.
So 2024, uh big election coming up, but also will be marked the year where Sean Hannity decided to finally pull the trigger and move to the great state of Florida.
It's been an honor to fill in for him as the governor of the state of Florida.
I want to thank everyone joining.
But look, why would you not want to make the move that Sean did?
Uh Florida, our budget, we have millions of more people than New York now, and our budget is half the size of New York's budget.
Yet our schools are better, our roads are better, we have better services.
Our total state debt per capita is the lowest in the country.
Your share in Florida is about six hundred and sixty dollars per Floridian.
Your share of the federal debt's over a hundred thousand dollars per American.
We're ranked number one in economy, number one in education, number one in education freedom, number one in parental rights.
We have a fifty-year low in the crime rate, and of course, have removed two Soros back prosecutors from office.
We're ranked number one in tourism, number one in new business formations, and number one in higher education.
We have fought the fight, uh, and we have won victory after victory for the people of the state of Florida, and the result is uh we've never done better.
Uh it just shows you this stuff can be done.
I know there's pessimism around the country.
You see some of these other states, uh, but if you stand up and you stand for what's right and you fight for people, you know, the media's not gonna like it, the left's gonna have a spasm.
Uh but folks that are out there working hard trying to raise their families, they're gonna have your back.
Uh, they're gonna get your back.
And this is a great example of the state of Florida of what we've done.
I mean, I came in uh a razor thin state, fifty fifty state.
Every election was one percent.
I took more incoming, especially during COVID, than any governor in the country, constantly uh taking the arrows.
And yet when it came time to stand for re-election, we won by the biggest victory that any Republican has ever won in the history of the state of Florida.
20-point victory, a million and a half votes.
And the state's only gotten more red since November of 2022.
So uh it can be done.
Have faith.
We're gonna turn this country around.
Uh, thank you all for joining us, and I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
God bless.
